Earth's Greatest Magus

The earth shook while the sky was seemingly torn asunder as numerous destructive blasts of energy wreaked havoc as they pleased, summoning howling gusts of wind and violent tremors across the ground. The series of catastrophic phenomena sent the citizens of Zodiac City into a fervor of chaos.

What was unraveling right above them in the sky was a disastrous battle between two powerful grand magus half-bloods and one of the supreme powers of the universe. Someone who possessed power that could turn a city flat with just one spell.

Fortunately, the strongest of the three elders, Elder Sinure, who had formed his third cosmos, had gone ahead and created a barrier to protect the city and its inhabitants from the cataclysmic aftereffect and keep the three fighting within a predetermined domain.

[Absolute Serenity]

Still, the result of the clash of forces occurring above could be felt by everyone on the ground.

"I must applaud you half-bloods, for daring to fight me," said the Supreme Commander as his body was enveloped in a brilliant yellowish light that casually blocked all spells and attacks coming towards him.

[Holyguard Defense]

The spell he used was not a normal spell, but one that had been fused within the body to reach a profound understanding of the Law of Light.

Standing there in midair, the Supreme Commander remained still like a sacred mountain that was unshakeable while being engulfed in an intense storm of blazing dark flames channeled by the Dragon Elder.

[Dance of the Fire Serpents]

"I will melt your defenses and erase that smirk from your face!"

When the flame went out, the tortoise Elder rushed forward and engaged in close combat. His two arms were covered with green scales that looked like crystals, and he smashed his fist quickly, hitting the man all over his body.

[Heavenly Meteor Strike]

Each blow the elder threw shook the air and even warped the space around it, but the Supreme Commander stayed calm as he dodged some of the blows and also confidently took in some of them.

But surprisingly, the combination of the earlier flamestorm and the decisive attack was enough to form cracks on the man's defenses. And their achievement seemed to have elicited praise from the latter as well.

"Amazing! You half-bloods are indeed on a different level! With only double cosmos, you are already this strong!" The man said it with apparent amazement. "I am truly impressed by your kind!"

The compliment, however was replied to with an insult.

"We are true warriors, tempered by the mighty flames of battles; not an infant breastfed by divine artifacts!"

Those words erased the calm look on the Supreme Commander's face as he stared with a flat expression. Immediately after, he brought his right arm high and a bright glowing spear swiftly took form, made completely from his power.

[Holylight Lance]

With the brilliant spear in his arm, the man began to attack, and the first victim fall victim to his aggression was none other than the Tortoise Elder Kurma. The elderly man was being attacked relentlessly, leaving no opening for him to fight back as if he had been hit by a storm.

Even though the Tortoise bloodline was known for having a strong natural defense, it was clear that the dark-haired man's spear blows could not stop the elder from getting hurt. Wounds started to show up on his body, and blood started to flow down below.

Its emerald defense swiftly crumbled under the dazzling spear's incessant thrusts. The retaliation forced him to withdraw from the engagement and hastily reform his shield. A frown could be seen on his face, as the spear had done quite a number on his body.

"Now you will learn your lesson!" the Supreme Commander shouted as he charged rapidly towards Grand Magus Lilith.

As she saw the man getting closer, the Dark Salamander swiftly took out her weapon, [Blood Lance], a two meter long lance with a crimson shaft, and immediately thrusted it to stop the attack from landing.

Depending on her godly Tier 8 weapon, the female dragon grand magus let out a determined scream as she gave her best to counter.

"Get the fuck off me!!"

Saying those words, Lilith cast a powerful Tier 8 spell that summoned a dozen two meter tall ominous black fireballs. The air seemed to melt as they swiftly shot toward the Supreme Commander, leaving a trail of black in the blue expanse.

Swissshh-- BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

All twelve were negated and parried away by the spear in the man's hands, doing effectively nothing to the latter. However, those fireballs still made an impact as they flew towards the mist barrier that Elder Sinure had set up.

The barrier shook violently as the fireball landed, but it didn't shatter and was still there. However, the fireball was so powerful that they managed to seep through, causing hundreds of tiny dark fireballs to fall towards the ground.

Elder Sinure quickly took action to stop those heading towards Zodiac City. However, the same couldn't be said to the rest that headed down towards the courtyard where the half-blood warriors and Zodiac City's spaceships were.

"Stop those fireballs!"

The one who shouted those words and was also the first to take action was Heorgar the Demon Wolf. The man shot up into the sky, intending to stop the fireballs from reaching the ground. The other flag bearer dashed into the sky a split second after he did, using their respective techniques and spells to avert the disaster.

Unfortunately, despite their efforts, several fireballs still managed to descend and blast several half-blood warriors into ashes. Some of them also hit the spaceships. The small ones were destroyed right away, and the big one was damaged.

"Get the ship out of here!"

The order from one of the Flag Bearers echoed loudly through the air, and immediately several quick-witted half-bloods ran to the spaceships. Some went to do as asked, while some just entered to protect themselves from the possibility of another rain of fireballs.

These actions, however evoked a response from the battle commander inside the Magus Alliance warships hovering in the sky.

"We're not letting those half-bloods take off on the ship! Shoot them down!"

The cannons mounted on the giant warship moved quickly, aiming at the spaceships below before finally firing, destroying the half-blood ships into smithereens.

This action immediately brought out the half-bloods' inherent savage nature. Rage began taking over, and in a matter of seconds, nearly all of the half-bloods were ready to avenge their fallen brethren, for an all-out battle.

"They are going to pay for this!! Attack!!"
