Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

[Rejuvenating Mushroom]

Emery swiftly cast the spell for Twik and the Chizpur brothers, who had been mercilessly beaten by the Mineralized Soldiers. A group of unique-looking mushrooms that gave off a soothing light appeared where Twik and the others weakly laid, healing their wounds and fatigue.

Seeing the pitiful state they were in, Emery couldn't help but shake his head.

"Well, I guess this means, all of you will stay here."

"Ku… ku...ku.. kuang… kuang"

Twik and the Chizpur brothers, all six swiftly voiced their complaints when they heard Emery's words. They even moved their limbs up and down, while still laying flat on the mushroom to strongly show their disagreement.

Emery checked the time he had left, "Two hours. If you all cannot win within that time, you will all stay here until I return."

After the mushrooms dissipated, the 6 plant creatures slowly got onto their feet again. They then huddled together and appeared to be having a small meeting of their own. The whole situation looked adorable, and Emery couldn't hold himself from chuckling.

While they were all busy discussing amongst themselves, Emery decided to explore the [Mineralized Warrior] manual. As he continued to read, he found out that there were a few levels of these warriors.

Pumped after learning there were superior forms of the [Mineralized Soldier] he was currently capable of creating, Emery closed his eyes and once again returned to cultivating. He had two hours to spend, after all.

Within the next hour, Twik and the Chizpur brothers challenged the Mineralized Soldiers three times and they were still beaten up in all three attempts. But when Emery observed the situation, he was surprised because the wood creatures had started learning how to fight in their own way.

In their fourth attempt, they even started to utilize their innate skills.

The Chizpur brothers were able to burrow into the ground in an instant and appeared behind their opponent ambushing them. Meanwhile, Twik was able to use something similar to Emery's [Entangled] spell with his arms.

However, when things started to heat up - where Twik and the Chizpur brothers gradually took control, the tide once again turned, as the Mineralized Soldiers suddenly spawned a stone sword in their hands. To the complete surprise of Emery, who was distracted by the commotion, they were using the basic style of his [36 Dao Divine Technique].

From this, Emery finally realized these soldiers he created were indeed his clones and had partial knowledge of the combat techniques at his disposal. They were also able to work together seamlessly in a team, which was an unforeseen but very welcomed perk.

Unfortunately, his [Strength Sap] spell didn't seem to be able to enhance them any further like the Twik and Chizpur brothers.

All in all, the fourth confrontation between the plant creatures and the stone soldiers ended up with the former once again suffering defeat and lying helplessly on the mushrooms Emery had conjured.

Interestingly, the six creatures didn't seem to be planning to give up. In fact, Emery was quite surprised when he saw them working together and how good they were at it. The usually indifferent Twik started to get involved with the 5 Chizpur brothers.

It was clear the six of them had found a common interest and wished to pay back the perpetrators for what had been done to them.

This was what made Twik and the Chizpur brothers different from their opponents. The mineralized warriors fought with simple order to the best of their capabilities with no fear or hope. The wood creatures they fought with of the fear of getting hurt and the hope to win, they were able to evolve because of it.

Even though they once again lost in the fifth fight, Emery could see Twik and the Chizpur brothers were no longer being beaten one-sidedly like the first fight. They evidently learnt from their opponents, and they were learning fast.

Finally, in the sixth fight, they were finally able to triumph over their opponents and win. All ten Mineralized Soldiers were either pinned down on the ground or broken apart into rubble.

"Ku ku ku kuang kuang!"

Twik and the 5 Chizpur brothers were so happy they were jumping around as they all cheered together.

However, just before two hours had passed, Emery comprehended a new understanding of the spell. Thanks to his increased understanding, he found out that he could actually design different types of Mineralized Soldiers. What limited him was merely his understanding of the spell and his own knowledge.

With that thought in mind, Emery began to design a different Mineralized Soldier, one that was specifically designed to focus on agility. Epiphany struck and he quickly put his arms on the ground, as his mind submerged in what he had just comprehended.

Tremors ran through the ground and something quickly emerged from the ground as Emery was successful in his attempt to create a new type of Mineralized Soldier.

[Mineralized Soldier - Type 2]

[Battle power - 75]

This particular Mineralized Soldier stood on four legs and was equipped with sharp claws and fangs. Emery actually created its form based on something he was very familiar with, a wolf.

It even walked and behaved like a wolf. Such diversity of what the spell was capable of really amazed him. No wonder it was a Rank A spell.

When Twik and the five Chizpur brothers saw this particular Mineralized Soldier, all six of them turned around and fell to the ground simultaneously, faking that they were sleeping.

Emery chuckled once again, realizing those little creatures could even sulk together.

Seeing them bouncing around and working with each other fighting their opponents reminded Emery of the time he trained hard and fought together with the Fey sisters. A fond smile appeared on his face as the memory of that time resurfaced in his mind.

These little creatures were actually already stronger than the Fey sisters. Unfortunately, the place he was going to was still too dangerous for them. In a way, as a parent figure of some sort, Emery simply didn't want to risk their safety.

Moreover, the most troublesome was the fact it was pretty hard to communicate with them.

It was at this time Emery suddenly thought about the one skill he had used with the Fey sisters, and he wondered if he could use it with the little creatures too.

At first, he was pessimistic about the idea. But upon further thought, he realized there was nothing to lose for him to give it a try. So he cast the spell.

[One Mind]

The Fey wolves' innate skill was cast on Twik and the five Chizpur brothers. Emery was shocked when he discovered he could read their thoughts and even see what their eyes were seeing.

"How could this be possible?!"

Emery was confused but delighted at the same time, when he learned that Fey wolves' innate skill was working. His mind went into overdrive, trying to think of a possible explanation.

In the end, he could only assume that, because the Twik and Chizpur brothers were created with the help of his blood, a connection was established through it. Through that, the skill [One Mind] showed its effect.

With this newfound discovery, Emery made up his mind to bring them to the mid-test.

"Alright then. We shall all go together."

"Ku ku?! Ku kuang! Kuang!"

Twik and the Chizpur brothers immediately rose and jumped around in glee. Again, Emery only chuckled seeing their silly acts. A few moments later, when they finally finished their celebration, Twik and the Chizpur brothers entered Emery's Spatial Space.

Immediately after, Emery walked out of his spirit cave and headed towards the privilege center, heading to the place where the others should have gathered.
