Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Chapter 885 Fury

All of a sudden, Emery felt a sense of suffocation as if the air around was being pulled away towards where his opponent was standing. Turning his head over, he could see white smokes coming out of the latter's body.

The Berserker had finally unleashed his full strength.

Cracking sounds were heard as Zetto moved and stretched his stiff body. He looked at Emery and grinned. "Did you know… that weak Sigurd has never been able to open his ancestral line.. The real Titan strength."

Seeing the expression on his face, the man himself seemed amazed at his own strength. He clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling the seemingly unstoppable force coursing through his veins.

"This is the power of the Gods! We, the Titans, are supposed to be worshiped like Gods!" His eyes fixed on Emery, the grin on Zetto's face widened while a maniacal look appeared on his face. "And you… you now can feel my fury! A God's fury!"

In an instant, Zetto's two black pupils turned into glowing gold before he took out a second axe from his spatial ring, the exact duplicate of the one he was currently holding.

Wielding two Tier 5 axe in his hand, the Berserker gave off a powerful surge of energy as he stared at Emery with a borderline deranged gaze.

Emery's eyes narrowed as his gaze turned serious. His body tensed up as the grip on his sword tightened. He understood that the real fight was about to begin and it was bound to be a ferocious one.

BAM!!

A slight tremor shook the arena as Zetto stomped the ground with his feet, propelling his body towards Emery at breakneck speed. Even though Emery had prepared himself for his opponent's aggression, the other party moved so fast that it shocked him!

CLANK!!!

At the last possible second, Emery managed to move his sword and parry the axe that was descending towards his body. However, the second axe quickly followed behind, coming as a surprise, with such speed that Emery had no way of stopping it. It successfully landed a hit.

Spllaatttt!!!

Emery was hit very hard on the waist. The [Jade Skin] covered that part of his body crumbled apart like sand, and he was blown away by the overwhelming force while his blood splattered across the arena floor.

If not for the protection that [Jade Skin] provided, Emery's life would be in great danger as his body would have been cut in half.

Seeing the fierce exchange between the two, the audience quickly stood up from their seats in excitement and started cheering, fanning more flames into the arena.

"Berserker!! Berserker!!"

Zetto's moniker was chanted loudly in the arena.

Even though he was in excruciating pain, Emery quickly got up as he was worried about another attack. However, the expected attack didn't come as the Titan bloodline holder just stood there watching him. It seemed he was waiting for him to get ready.

Realizing that his opponent decided to do nothing, Emery proceeded to check his current condition and what he found was not good news. Blood was flowing profusely out of his slashed right waist, and at least one or two of his ribs were broken.

Emery coughed out blood as he tried to cast [Nature Blessing] on his waist. Although his wounds looked serious, he was fortunate that his [Undecaying Flesh] kicked in and did its job of healing superbly.

"Your struggle is futile, Savage Acolyte! You will never win against me!" shouted the Berserker with a smirk on his crazed face.

No response came from Emery, as he was busy analyzing his opponent from what he had gained so far. The man was a real monster of strength. Even the [Night Wolf Transformation] was not enough and was overwhelmed by the latter.

Even so, Emery would certainly not give up just like this.

After analyzing and calculating his chances of winning, Emery realized he wouldn't be able to handle Zetto with his current self. Therefore to deal with the Berserker, even though it was somewhat a pity, he decided to use the strongest transformation he had kept all this time.

[Twilight Transformation]

[Twilight Form has increased your spell power.]

[Twilight Form has increased your magic resistance.]

This was the first time Emery had shown his final transformation in the academy and, although caught off guard, the audience quickly recovered from their shock and another wave of loud cheers swept the arena.

"The Savage is still not yet finished!!"

Even though the twilight form did not give Emery any additional battle power, the spell power enhancement it provided would at least increase the durability of his [Jade Skin] and, hopefully, would work wonders on his new spells.

Emery cast one of those spells, [Slipstream]. He quickly felt his legs becoming lighter as if the weight that had fallen on them had been lifted.

"Are you ready, Savage!?" Zetto shouted again.

There was no verbal response. Instead, Emery took out another blade from his Spatial Space. A Tier 3 plain-looking blade that was given by Magus Xion.

Immediately after, Emery cast the spell he hadn't been using for a while. Dark energy appeared on his hand and crept onto the sword engulfing it entirely, as the spell [Dark Infusion] took effect.

This Tier 1 spell would not have that much of an effect in a fight against Tier 5 weapons, but with his increase in spell power, he could tell the world-difference enchantment the spell gave to the blade. Even though it seemed futile, Emery believed that any additional strength - no matter how small - was what he needed.

With that, Emery's preparations were complete and he turned to Zetto with a serious expression.

"Too long!" shouted the Berserker, before once again charged at Emery with his monstrous speed.

Swiiissshh! Swiisshh!!

In response, Emery immediately moved from where he was standing to evade Zetto's charge. The additional speed from his water spell [Slipstream] and his [36 Dao Divine Sword] helped, but he was only barely able to keep up with the latter.

Clankkll!!!

When Emery left with no time to dodge and was forced to block the attack, he could clearly experience the full power of the Berserker. Consequently, once again, he was blown a few steps back.

It was clear that Emery's final form was still not able to overcome the Berserker's strength.

Realizing that it was foolish to continue fighting this monster of strength in its own game, Emery started to showcase his other specialty. He began to incorporate and utilize spells in his repertoire to help him tackle Zetto.

Zetto once again kicked the ground and swiftly shot towards Emery with his axe raised high into the air.

However, just as the axe was about to land on its target, a group of arm-sized green roots emerged from the arena floor and appeared right in Zetto's axe's trajectory, entangling and slowing it down enough to allow him to escape and launch an attack of his own before retreating again.

Thanks to that, Emery managed to avoid another severe injury.

Of course, Zetto immediately tried to follow with another attack. But before he could do so, a huge green wall erupted in front of Emery and stopped his advance prematurely. The [Jade Wall] gave enough time for Emery to recollect himself.

To put it simply, Emery used anything that could help hold off Zetto. In the meantime, he would enter into the openings that appeared and deal more damage to the latter's body.

"Urrgghhhhh.."

A grunt escaped Zetto's mouth, as the Titan began to be annoyed by Emery's cockroach-like actions. At the same time, blood was seen dripping from his muscular body, proving that the strategy the latter adopted was effective.

Of course, Emery did not escape his act unscathed. No matter how careful and vigilant he was , there would be moments where simply couldn't determine. As a result, Emery was still hit by Zetto a few times.

Eventually, the Titan had enough of Emery's actions and screamed his frustration out loud. A fiery, devil-like aura rose from Zetto's body. His battle art [Onslaught] took effect as he began to wildly cut everything that was holding back and slowing him down.

The roots that wrapped around his body were torn apart completely, while the green wall that had stopped his steps was chopped into pieces. In the end, there were no more obstructions between him and Emery.

The sight that greeted Zetto as he made his way out was Emery standing there a few meters away, the swords in his hand shining menacingly. The man didn't even have a chance to do anything as his field of vision was instantly engulfed by a massive black streak.

Emery, who had prepared [Shadow Edge], unleashed the deadly attack at the Titan without the slightest hesitation.

BAAAMMMM!!!

Emery's Tier 3 Sword immediately shattered after [Shadow Edge] left them, but their sacrifice was not in vain. The attack landed squarely on Zetto's body, enough to bring the huge monster down to his knees.

Everyone in the stands was excited, loud screams and shouts echoed through the air, when they saw Emery manage to bring down the Titan.

But contrary to expectations, Emery did not smile. He knew that it wasn't over yet.

If there was one thing Emery knew from fighting Zetto, it was the fact that the man was like a beast. And when a wild beast was wounded, it wouldn't tuck its tail and run away; it would only get even more ferocious.
