Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Chapter 569 - Shaman Form

Emery's body was filled with power, but strangely, this transformation was very much different from his usual one.

Instead of growing bigger like his enlarged second transformation, it felt as if all the muscles and energy in his body were compressed, reverting him to his human form.

The grey fur which previously covered his body was now almost entirely gone, only a small amount was left on the back of his hand. Following it, he could feel his ears and facial features on his forehead slightly distorted, with his two eyebrows joined together.

The black tattoo on his chest slowly began glowing green and raised up to his neck and the tatoo even started to show in his face making a shape of a fang under his eyes.

Most significant of all, Emery felt extraordinary changes in his spirit core. It felt as if both his nature core and his dark core were spinning wildly, filling his whole body with spirit force.

The symbol on his palm was glowing and a notification came to him

[Shaman form has increased your spell power.]

[Shaman form has increased your magic resistance.]

The message that popped up into his mind shocked him. At the same time, Emery could feel the binding that increased his weight tenfold was just reduced by half.

This increase in power and resistance allowed him to resist the masked man's [Gravitational Pressure]. Sensing this, Emery moved his hand and quickly cast a spell.

[Blink]

As soon as Emery arrived next to the masked man, he swiftly swung the moon dagger, which was infused with [Dark Infusion].

The masked man was taken aback. He certainly did not expect Emery to be able to resist his tier 5 spell's pressure at all, much less escape it entirely.

Swish—

Because of this, when Emery swung the moon dagger to the man's neck, the man was only able to dodge at the last moment, causing the dagger to cut the mask on his face.

The mask was instantly split in two and the dagger narrowly scratched the man's face, causing the masked man to drop the girl on her grasp and jump a dozen meters back.

Emery continued his attack raising both his arm and once again both his nature core and dark core wildly enhanced it, making the combined spell extremely powerful

[Shadow Binding Roots].

Dozens of roots suddenly emerged from the ground filling out almost all the surrounding between him and the mysterious man and this time, they moved much faster and fiercer than they ever before, forcing the mam to jump even further back dodging the roots.

Emery, however, did not manage to catch the man, nor did he go after him. Instead, Emery quickly grabbed the red-haired woman that was lying bleeding on the ground.

As soon as he managed to grab her in his arm, he swiftly cast [Blink], instantly appearing next to the four Fey sisters.

The four Fey sisters simultaneously showed their concern when they saw Emery appearing next to them with Morgana.

The blood from the large puncture wound on her chest showed no signs of stopping or slowing down. Her internal organs could even be seen through the wound. Her face was pale as paper and her lips were blue to the point of almost seeming gray.

She was practically at death's door.

Without much thought, Emery cast [Soothing Mist] onto the wound on her chest.

The spell was highly more effective than it was before, but it still could not close the puncture wound or nor stop the bleeding.

"No!!! Brother Emery, please save Sister Morgana!!!" Glita cried in panic seeing the state of the wound.

Emery did not respond to her pleas. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the previously masked man. The man was visibly enraged, screaming in madness due to the moon dagger's scratch on his face.

Seeing that the man was currently occupied with his own thing, Emery focused his attention back on Morgana.

He needed to heal her as soon as possible.

While channeling the water spell toward her, Emery noticed that something from the wound was blocking his energy.

Emery decisively felt the wound with his hand and found out the dark stone was affecting her body. Her veins were being pulled by the black stone, and it beat hard between absorbing and leaking Morgana's lifeforce.

This was what prevented his healing spells from doing their work.

Knowing he did not have much time, Emery quickly pulled the stone out of her chest.

Emery was sure that this stone was what that Mysterious man was after. Taking it away from Morgana would also mean taking her away from the danger it would bring.

But as soon as he touched the stone to try to pull it away, she trembled and screamed, as if her life force was being pulled away from her.

"Arrghhh!!"

Panicked and slightly irritated, Emery quickly told the four sisters to take care of Morgana. He then stood up and walked toward the mysterious man who had just calmed down from the rage of having his face injured.

Meeting the mysterious man's glare, Emery questioned with a shout,

"What did you do to her!? Tell me!!"

Despite clearly hearing Emery's words loud and clear, the man did not give a word of answer. Instead, he snapped and cursed back at him.

"You little bastard! You shall pay for what you did to my face!!!"

Even though the man had previously calmed down, he was enraged once again when he heard Emery's questioning voice. With his mask broken, Emery could now see more than just his braided black hair. From what Emery could see, the man seemed to be in his thirties.

Not caring about Emery's glare, the man raised his arm and pulled out a familiar-looking staff.

It was the same staff that the witch Meave used before.

Seeing how he held the staff, Emery came to a realization. This man was the reason Meave able to spike her power in such a short time

The man approach him in rage.

"You little bastard! You dare to lay your hand on your god!!"

Previously Emery couldn't feel this man power, but now it was like the seal was open and the man was engulfed with fiery shadow.

With such power the man was definitely a magus.

"You and all your little friends shall receive punishment from your god. I am the unseen one! The king of the underworld. You shall feel my wrath!!"

When he raised the staff Emery could see the corpse of Meave rise, her body enlarging and breaking apart, spilling her muscle and blood forming into a three meters chunk of humanoid abomination.

With his spirit reading he could feel tremendous power from such a monster.. To make it worse Emery could feel dozens more of them were forming among the undead that were attacking the castle.
