Earth's Greatest Magus

The path toward the Magus realm could be achieved when one soul entered the spirit core, resulting in the forming of the spirit soul. 

At the same time, all of the accumulated understanding of the elements would be turned into what was commonly called the Law.

Each of the ten elements, including fire, earth, water, wind, metal, plant, ice, lightning, darkness and light, had their own Laws.

The Law itself served as a guide, as it was a form of rules and system that governed the use of the elements which every magus should follow.

These were the theories Emery had learned from the elite class, but he never really understood how a Law actually worked in terms of measuring the understanding of the elements and how it would define a magus.

Those questions filled Emery's head as if something his head had foreknowledge of what he was thinking at the moment, the voice suddenly entered his mind to answer his curiosity. He was then shown a vision a second later.

It was a vision of a certain dark element acolyte about to make a breakthrough into a magus realm. Emery could see all 9 dark element pillars were formed. When the person's soul entered the core, the strength of the foundation and pillars was put to the test.

Bammm!

Emery saw one by one the pillars crack and crumble apart, with only five of the nine remaining pillars turning into motes of light that strengthened the soul. After that, it turned into a spirit soul, which was thereafter referred to as the core of a magus. Following that, some notifications came into his mind.

[You have successfully advanced to magus realm]

[Your understanding in the law of darkness measured as 5%]

[Law of Darkness - 5%]

The vision showed him that when one made a breakthrough into the magus realm, depending on their understanding of the elements, one might be able to successfully receive more laws than another. 

With this, Emery quickly came to a realization that this was probably the reason why Bradley was such a poor magus. He assumed the fire magus must have rushed his breakthrough, even if he was still lacking in elemental understanding. He probably ended up with a very low percentage understanding of the Law of Fire.

A few moments later, the vision of another person was shown to him. This time, he could see this one had three different pillars.

Of all the nine pillars, three of them were earth elements, the other three were plant elements, the rest were water elements. These pillars created such a balanced 3-way pillar structure, which helped to strengthen its foundation.

Similar to what he had witnessed before, the process began with the soul entering the core and right away the foundation and pillars were put to the test. Each of the element's pillars crumbled as a result of the testing, leaving six emotes that entered the soul.

[You have successfully advanced to magus stage]

[Your understanding in law of elements were measured]

[Law of Plants 2%]

[Law of Earth 2%]

[Law of Water 2%]

Afterward, the vision continued to show him some valuable lessons. Emery then saw the two figures were engaging in a fight with each other. One of them was the darkness magus, who was able to create much more powerful spells than the other, the nature magus, who looked to have more versatility. 

It was difficult to tell which of the two figures was more powerful, because they were both fighting with their own distinct strengths. As a result, the fight came to a close without a real winner being shown.

The vision followed with the scene of someone cultivating the Law. Emery learned that when one reached 15% understanding, he would be able to reach half of the moon, while at 30% understanding, he would be able to reach the full moon. What's more, when one could make a breakthrough to understand the universe power of the cosmos, he might be elevated to the rank of a grand magus.

However, such could only be achieved from individual Laws and this did not apply to the accumulation of different Laws. That's why many acolytes, although having multiple affinities in different elements, decided to choose to focus on mastering one element in order to quickly advance their realm.

Afterward, the vision was over. Despite the fact he had learned a lot from all the visions, to his surprise, a piece of information suddenly came to his mind. Apparently, Emery had received a new understanding of the elements simply by seeing it.

[Spirit force increased]

The moment Emery returned from his reverie, he heard one of the sisters once again asked,

"Those are the two most common paths of the magus, do you understand now?" The sister in the middle asked him.

Emery gave a nod to show he understood. Just like the way it always was before, with Emery having multiple elements, he was presented with the choice of following the path of mastering one element or pursuing the mastery of several elements.

Given that Emery appeared to be in confusion, the sister on the right side immediately added, "The boy is blessed with two foundations. This way, he actually can be master of both."

The one on the left nodded in agreement, "Still.. the mastery of combined elements will be your most valuable assets."

After diagnosing his condition, Emery listened to them very carefully as the sisters started to explain how powerful a combined spell was for a person such as him.

They also noted a difference in his darkness energy and eventually would choose an appropriate spell for him.

After explaining all of the essential things Emery needed to know, the sisters seemed to have finished with him and called on the next person. Yet, before he left, Emery suddenly remembered a word that piqued his curiosity. So he forced himself to ask,

"Sister, from what you said before, do you really think there is a way for me to become a magus?"

Instead of giving him the answer he wanted, the sister in the middle said, "Humans have very little trust in fate."

The second sister then continued, "It's all the work of fate, Fate is the divine will."

The last sister also said, "With fate you will succeed, even with such little chances."

Hearing this, Emery could only heave a sigh. Even though all of the sisters replied to him with answers, they didn't explain anything at all.
