Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Emery followed Queen Soonhee to a special room at the top of the palace, where an old man lay on his deathbed. The room was hushed, filled with an air of solemnity as the Alvanic Queen introduced him, "This is my father, King Jongsuk the ruler of Alvanic for the last 200 years."

A somber atmosphere enveloped the room as Queen Soonhee began to unravel the tale of her brief reign. She explained that she had ascended to the role of ruler only a little over a year ago when her father met his demise during a training session. The revelation brought forth a poignant request, "Please save my father, and you can get anything you want."

Emery's discerning gaze fell upon the ailing ruler and took him only moments to surmise that the king's affliction originated from a critical failure in breaking through the magus realm. It became evident that Queen Soonhee had turned to Emery due to him and his entourage of magus individuals, hoping that Emery who came from the outside world might hold a solution to this perilous problem.

These Alvanic people, secluded from the magus universe, possessed minimal knowledge of breaking through to the magus realm or access to awakening pills. However, despite his potential to offer a solution, Emery hesitated. He needed to gather more information about this kingdom and its people, cautious not to inadvertently violate any magus alliance rules.

Choosing his words carefully, Emery requested some time to contemplate the situation. Simultaneously, he insisted on delving into their ancient texts to gain a deeper understanding of their history and perhaps find a solution within their own lore. Recognizing the necessity of Emery's inquiries, Queen Soonhee tacitly granted his request, allowing him access to the kingdom's vast library.

For the next few days, Emery immersed himself in the extensive collection of scrolls and manuscripts. However, his efforts yielded minimal references to the time these people arrived in the subterranean world or anything before. Even details about the altar, which was seemingly crafted by another being hailed as the savior of their people, remained elusive.

Undeterred, Emery sought alternative means of uncovering the kingdom's history. He enlists VIA to help him scan the entirety of the Alvanic history spanning 2000 years.

As the artificial being delved into the data, Emery concurrently turned his attention to learning more about the seven kingdoms, their inhabitants, and even their natural resources hoping to find anything useful.

During this period of exploration, Queen Soonhee persisted in her attempts to sway Emery's decision. Whether through lavish feasts, thoughtful gifts, or even the audacious offer of her self, she sought to influence him.

The persistent advances prompted a wry comment from Morgana, who, with her characteristic wit, remarked, "If you are interested… I promise I won't tell anyone…"

Emery responded with a forced smile "So funny… Great… Your jokes have improved…"

As Emery continued to navigate the delicate balance between diplomatic interactions and the pursuit of knowledge, a breakthrough finally emerged after several days of exhaustive research. VIA unearthed crucial clues pointing to the origin of the subterranean civilizations. They had come from a neutral zone, positioning them outside the realm of magus alliance matters. Furthermore, their enemy that once chasing after them had been vanquished by another faction hundreds of years ago.

This revelation provided Emery with clarity. The subterranean civilizations, including the Alvanic Kingdom, were not entangled in the complexities of magus alliance politics. Classifying them as independent entities in the cosmic tapestry.

Emery received another piece of excellent news during his research—the dark orb on the altar held the properties he sought. Its function closely resembled an artifact he had discovered on his second trip, proven to assist in creating new waypoints at the Moon base.

The last artifact enabled him to return to Earth without leaving any Khaos guardians behind. Now, with another such artifact in his possession, Emery envisioned the prospect of creating another waypoint at Terra. This would enable him to move seamlessly between Terra and Earth, eliminating the need to rely on the Khaos guardians.

While this find marked a significant breakthrough for Emery, a dilemma lingered. The broken altar in the Alvanic Kingdom remained unsolved, meaning that once Emery departed from the subterranean realm, he could never return. This meant that the Alvanic people would most likely be eternally confined within this subterranean depth.

Sensing Emery's internal conflict, Morgana questioned, "What seems to be the problem? These people have been living here for 2000 years and never needed the orbs."

Emery, unwilling to give up on finding a remedy for the broken altar, extended his stay in the Alvanic Kingdom. He dedicated more time to sending data to Klea and Fuxi, enlisting their expertise in the hope of discovering an alternative solution before he departed. The complex nature of the formation required collaborative efforts, and Emery remained determined to unlock the mystery that held the Alvanic people captive in their subterranean sanctuary.

Amid these efforts, Emery decided to extend his assistance to the dying king, offering a glimmer of consolation, an act of goodwill in light of his intention to acquire their orb.

However, the peace was abruptly shattered when startling news reached the Alvanic Kingdom—a coalition of three opposing kingdoms had forged an alliance, mobilizing a formidable force of 10,000 warriors accompanied by three powerful magus. The sudden emergence of this threat cast a shadow over the kingdom, and the once-stable balance in the subterranean realm now teetered on the brink of conflict.

The grand entrance of the three magus into the Alvanic city was marked by an air of arrogance, and their demands echoed through the palace hall, a brazen declaration of intent.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

"We demand your absolute surrender, and Queen Soonhee's hand in marriage to one of our kings," they declared, shamelessly presenting the queen with the illusion of choice, as if rejection was not an option.

The desperation that had gripped Queen Soonhee in the days leading up to this moment became apparent. She had known that her kingdom faced grave danger, and her fervent hope had been that her father's recovery would dissuade the other kingdoms from such bold moves.

Unfortunately for these three kingdoms, they couldn't have chosen a worse time to launch their attack. Emery, still grappling with the internal conflict over taking the orb, felt compelled to intervene.

Standing before the emissaries, he addressed them with a calm yet resolute tone.

"Tell your kings that they are too late... Queen Soonhee has been betrothed to me," Emery declared, throwing an unexpected turn into the unfolding drama.
