Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

"Arrghhh!! Get off me! You filthy animal!"

Even with his chest being thoroughly pierced by Emery's blade claws, the Half Moon dark elf magus was still able to mount a resistance by raising his double-edged sword to hold the beast away.

He mustered all the strength he had within him to keep the beast in place. Unfortunately for him, the wolf beast's strength continued to steadily increase until it eventually reached the point where restraining it became too difficult of an endeavor.

"What the hell are you two waiting for?! Get this thing off me!!" screamed the dark elf captain hysterically at his two subordinates.

The two dark elf magus who were stunned by the unexpected development were awakened from their reverie by the scream. They promptly charged at the half-beast, albeit hesitantly. One threw another set of flaming chains to restrain and tug the beast, while the other jumped on its back and smashed its head with his mace again.

Bammmm Baammm!!!

Blood could be seen dripping down from the beast's head, but that only served to push it further into madness. Still, the combination attack managed to force the beast to retract its claws from the pinned dark elf, as it used all of its strength to break the chains once again.

Released from the agony, the captain immediately took advantage of the opportunity to escape by quickly rolling away. On the other hand, the beast had managed to grab the leg of the mace-wielding dark elf that was on its back, a feral look on its face.

RROOOAARRR!!

With a furious roar, it yanked the dark elf off its body and smashed him to the ground. The painful treatment was repeated a few times before it raised its furry feet and stomped on the dark elf's chest, at which point it started pulling on his legs violently.

"Aaargghh!! No! NO!!"

A shrill scream rang through the air before there was the sickening sound of ripping and blood splattering everywhere. The beast had ripped the dark elf's right leg from its body, and it seemed to have no intention of stopping as it quickly moved on to the next leg.

The two dark elf magus witnessed the brutal display and their faces turned completely pale. This was especially the case for the dark elf captain who had personally experienced the beast's terrifying power.

The other Crescent Moon magus was about to throw his flaming chains once again, but stopped doing so when he saw his partner was being stabbed by the beast's claws again and again.

Knowing that there was no hope for the poor dark elf magus, the captain decided to give the order to flee.

"Pick him up and retreat!" He ordered as he pointed at the other dark elf who was unconscious on the ground. Without even waiting for a response, he swiftly dashed into the woods, his figure disappearing amongst the dense trees.

His flight brought the attention of the beast as it swiftly turned its head to the last standing magus, who was still processing everything that had just happened.

The wolf beast let out another deafening roar that terrified the last dark elf magus. He was so shaken by the roar that it caused him to leave his unconscious comrade behind as he rushed to escape into the forest.This chapter is updated by (F)ire

Minutes passed before Emery finally began to recover his consciousness of his transformation. The moment he returned to reality, he clearly witnessed how the wolf beast had just finished devouring the last bit of the first magus before moving to the second one.

The poor unconscious magus awoke to the sight of sharp fangs biting into his neck and splintering it apart, ending his life mercilessly before continuing to devour the remaining spirit energy within his body.

Hoowwwwwll

The beast howled loudly into the sky on instinct, telling the world that it had claimed victory in killing its prey.

Emery saw how the two dark elf's spirit souls emerged from their lifeless bodies and managed to get away. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about them as he currently had no control over his own body.

When the beast finished with its remaining victims, it immediately started to sniff around. It was clear that it was looking for the escaping magus.

Emery watched in amazement of how powerful his beast form was as it destroyed all the trees in its way, and even bulldozed its way through Fuxi's elemental traps, while focusing all of its mind on the hunt for the dark elves.

HOWWLLLLL

It didn't take long for the beast wolf to find the scent of one of his prey. Due to the Hexagram formation, the Crescent Moon dark elf magus couldn't do anything as he found himself constantly running in circles.

"Argghh!! Get away from me!!"

Desperate for his life, the poor magus tried his best and cast his flaming chains at the beast wolf once again. Unfortunately for him, the chains only managed to restrain the beast for a few seconds before they once again shattered into pieces.

"No!! No!! Don't kill me! I... I will tell you any–"

The dark elf couldn't even get to finish his sentence before the beast charged at him, thrusting its six claws into his body through his chest and out of his back. Blood cascaded to the forest floor beneath, painting the flora red.

"ARRGHHHHHHH"

As screams of agony echoed through the forest hill, the beast lifted the dark elf's body lodged in its claws into the air. The last thing the magus saw before a sense of powerlessness overcame his consciousness was the beast devouring his spirt energy until most of his body turned emaciated, and then tore it in half.

HOWWLLLLL

Another loud howl of the beast was heard following a shrieking scream.

The terrifying noises the half moon dark elf captain heard only served to make him more frantic as he realized he was alone. He gritted his teeth and cursed his fate. He still hadn't completely healed his body, but the beast was already coming for him.

"How is this possible… He's just an acolyte.. that damn acolyte…" He cursed under his breath. "Fuck! Where is the exit of this damn formation…!? Elder, where are you!!!"

It was at this moment that he realized that he had forgotten about the communication device he had. The terror that the beast inflicted had evidently done an impact on him. He hastily took out the device, activated it, and spoke, albeit with a stutter.

"This..iss… Echoo… Come in… we need back.. up-"

His action however was interrupted as the dark elf captain felt a commotion from the distance beyond the trees. Fear once again overwhelmed him as he knew that beast was rushing in his direction at breakneck speed.

Immediately, the magus turned around and assumed his stance as his hands brandished his double-edged sword, ready for the upcoming fight.

The magus had lost all confidence, yet he was trembling as his eyes gazed into the shadows between the forest. His entire body from top to bottom was taut, ready to act against any movement that caught his eye.

A minute then proceeded to pass, but nothing came of the woods. The surrounding trees were as serene as they could be when finally the figure of a young man, not the beast that stepped out from the shadows.

The young acolyte came out saying "You are the last one"

It actually took Emery a fair amount of time to fully contain the urge and regain control over his body. Hence he was extremely ecstatic when he succeeded. After all, this was the first time he had managed to end the transformation on his own accord.

However, Emery's smiling expression and glowing yellow eyes only further frightened the dark elf captain.

"You… Let me out of here… and I … I will tell you everything…"

Seeing such a reaction, Emery schooled his expression and said, "Speak."

Immediately after, the dark elf magus started talking, recounting how the Darkmoon clan received backlash because of their princess, Lyanna.  She had failed on her mission, leading to the destruction of an elven war cruiser. Lyanna's uncle then took advantage of this opportunity to usurp the clan leader's position. Hence the order to destroy the princess' spirit soul.

Emery let the female magus on the metal emblem hear everything. However, even though that explanation did shed some light on their current situation, it was not information he wanted to know.

"I was asking about the kidnapped acolytes! Tell me where the elves took them!"

"Kidnapped acolytes…? No... I have no knowledge of such things!"

Emery glared at the dark elf captain hearing such an answer. Unfortunately, it seemed that the latter really didn't know anything about the matter.

He couldn't help but heave a sigh of helplessness at this. But then, he realized that this meant he got to finish his hunt.  "Then you shall die here!"
