Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

The Magus Academy sank into a vortex of chaos.

From the attack by the tournament champion on Grand Magus Yvere and the sudden unexplainable disappearance of the acolytes to the arrival of humanity's mortal enemies – the elves – at the Magus Academy.

Sucked in by the events that were happening without pause, the people were thrown into a panic as they started fleeing the Grand Hall frantically. More than three million people rushed out, pushing one another without regard for the other as they attempted to flee as far as possible from the arena.

It had only been a few minutes since the first batch of elves made their appearance, but by now, there were already hundreds of them filling the massive arena of the Grand Hall. They all arrived fully equipped from top to bottom, armor on and weapons in hand, clearly prepared for battle.

Seeing such a sight from those elves, there was no doubt that this attack was a carefully crafted plan, aiming to destroy one of the Magus Alliance's most important entities.

Kaboommm! Kaboommm! Kaboomm!

Countless lethal spells of various elements flew and exploded around the arena, creating ear-piercing sounds that shook the eardrums. The devastating sight didn't stop there as violent gusts of wind, earth-shattering tremors, and heart-wrenching screams encompassed the entirety of the Grand Hall. The battle that was taking place had just escalated to another level.

The ongoing battle involved no less than a dozen grand magus-level individuals, in addition to the hundreds of magus-level figures. Hence, it was no wonder the aftermath of these people's clashes gave rise to a scene that could only be described as catastrophic.

Everyone who had a cultivation below the magus realm, yet was unlucky enough to be in the vicinity when the battle broke out, inevitably had to step aside lest they be swallowed and die by the deadly aftermath. As for the acolytes, all of them were still trying to find a way to escape from the forced teleportation imposed on them.

"What the hell is going on here?! Protect me! I am the prince of the Cross faction! Get out of the way!"

Those were the last words Shatter Cross uttered, before his figure was enveloped in light and disappeared into thin air.

The surrounding acolytes who saw this felt goosebumps when they saw that even a prestigious individual like the Cross Prince was also unable to escape. Some had their faces turn deathly pale, terrified of what would happen to them.

But of course, amongst the majority of terror-stricken ones, there would naturally be some who managed to maintain their composure. One of such examples was Jai Strider, the Metal Puppeteer.

The cool headed young man tried his best to stay calm as he watched his time continue ticking down. His mind didn't stay idle as he observed the situation, thinking of a possible way out. Moments later, he swiftly approached the nearby half-machine acolyte.

"Atlas! Your system! Can you use it to analyze the spell in the symbol? Quickly give it a try!"

Being a rare individual whose spirit core was connected to an advanced AI, Atlas was capable of individually analyzing the spell that came from the symbol on his palm. If he was successful, he would theoretically be able to negate the spell's effects.

Understanding what the puppeteer's intention was, the half-machine nodded his head and quickly took action.

[Recall spell activated in 1:25]

[Analyzing spell…..]

[Source: Magus Academy]

[Category: Exchange spell]

[Target: Unspecified]

[Completion: 712/7859]

Atlas quickly explained his findings after he obtained the result of his analysis. Without further delay, he used the AI to start working to stop the spell from taking effect. However, the solution that the AI ​​found was one neither of them expected.

[Rebooting system]

[Shutdown in 5…4…3]

Jai Strider could only helplessly roll his eyes as he watched Atlas' body fall to the ground. Looking at the other party, he knew he had saved the half-machine acolyte, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly because it didn't help him.

On a positive note, with the situation in front of him looking like it would only escalate for the worst, being teleported out of this place could actually be a good thing. Unfortunately, even he knew such thinking was too optimistic. Alas, there was nothing he could do.

However, just as his countdown was about to reach zero, he spotted a black construct – a spaceship – approaching from the sky. It descended at breakneck speed even as its entire body was engulfed in blazing flames.

But what shocked him was not that, but the three figures holding the pitch-black ship that was descending straight towards the arena.

—---

"Urgghh! Lilith! You shouldn't have destroyed that patrol ship!" Elder Sinure rebuked, recalling the sight of the patrol boat chasing them being blown to pieces. Unfortunately, the reply he received was a derisive snort.

"Hah! But it has saved us a lot of time, right?!"

A soothing voice quickly intervened before the Bird elder could respond.

"Let's just be grateful this elven ship can enter the barrier safely," Elder Kurma said.

Fortunately, the Tortoise elder's efforts were successful, as the two of them put aside their differences and focused on the matters they had to take care of at the moment.

"Look! They are starting already! Hahaha, time for battle!"

Meanwhile, inside the Revenant spaceship, Emery could be seen grabbing hold of the steer firmly, as the elven spaceship continued its plunge through the atmosphere. Their journey getting here had not been smooth sailing, as a few minutes ago they had had to force their way through a patrolling spaceship.

Even so, nothing could stop him from reaching the Magus Academy. Even when the ship gave a warning about crashing into the barrier, the Magus Academy sported, he pressed on without flinching.

All of this because of the recall spell notification that had also reached him, indicating Klea was unable to stop the enemy. Despite his firm hold over the steer, various thoughts filled Emery's mind, especially anxiety.

Fortunately, just as the spaceship was about to crash into the Magus Academy's barrier, the silver emblem that Grand Magus Aurora had given him gave off dazzling light that engulfed the Revenant, allowing it to pass through safely.

As soon as he entered the atmosphere, Emery quickly tried his best to stop his own recall spell like he had done before, during his time dilation moment. After he succeeded, he focused his attention on landing his ship directly on the arena despite his limited abilities.

Swiiishshhhh—-

Many eyes couldn't help but turn to the eye-catching arrival of the unidentified spaceship as it crashed on one side of the arena.

BAAMMM!!!

The landing was rough, to say the least, it involved lots of crashing which eventually resulted in a massive fire. But soon, three figures could be seen walking out from behind the smoke.

Everyone was surprised because all three were famous grand magus figures, as well as controversial, as they all made their appearance in their transformed form: Dragon, Bird and Tortoise.

"Let all see that we, the half-bloods, have come here to help!"

Without further ado, the three jumped in and joined the fray, in just a matter of seconds, the three of them managed to pick one of the elven grand magus and pin him down, causing the latter to be unable to do anything.

Needless to say, the presence of the three half-blood elders immediately changed the flow of the battle.

As for Emery, he threw his gaze around as his Spirit Reading flared to the maximum, scanning the surrounding area for traces of his friends, in particular, Klea. He moved through the chaos with his [Blink], past the smoke and fire. He desperately searched for her, shouting her name loudly in hopes of getting an answer.

"Klea! KLEA! Where are you!"

Emery was about to cast [Blink] again when he noticed a familiar figure approached him. It was none other than Olivier Arkaland. The Sword Saint stared at him as he spoke words that caused his heart to stop for a moment.

"The girl is gone."
