Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

What the dark elf grand magus had just offered was the entire reason they were there in the first place.

However, to everyone's surprise, the reply that came from him was a resolute refusal.

"No," He said firmly. "No deal."

The dark elf grand magus immediately became irritated. Despite seeing such a sight, Emery appeared not to be affected in the least. Even though he knew he didn't have to, he began to calmly explain his point.

"With the way you acted before, there is no reason for me to believe you." Emery said in a straightforward tone. "Besides, I already know about your clan's affairs. All I have to do is to make sure my message gets to the right person, and I will certainly get a better and more sincere offer."

Receiving such words, especially from a mere acolyte, made the proud dark elf grand magus unable to contain his anger. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes staring daggers at Emery. Unfortunately for him, Emery seemed completely unfazed.

"Let's go, Senior." As he said those words, there was a quick nod between the two before they went off into the distance.

The dark elf grand magus could only watch in irritation as he was still being held back by the Hexagram formation that the Eastern Sage had left behind.

"Arrrgh!! Don't you dare run away from me!!"

Screaming those words, the elderly grand magus was seen taking out something from his spatial ring; an artifact. He then clenched the hand holding the artifact, breaking it apart, before he channeled a powerful domain that encapsulated the entirety of his surroundings.

[Hellfire Descent]

Swirls of dark flames manifested all around him, which then rapidly gathered around his body and formed into a hurricane. In the next instant, the surrounding area was brightly lit up as the entire forest hill was blown up by a devastating explosion.

The area that spanned dozens of miles instantly turned into a sea of ​​dark flames that seemed to consume everything. In just a matter of seconds, the formation that was created to hold him down shattered apart.

"Hahahaha!! I broke your stupid barrier!!"

However, as soon as he said those words, the dark elf was surprised to see the sight of a purple chain of lightning slithering about from within the thick smoke surrounding him. Before he could do anything, it blasted a powerful bolt right at him.

"Arggghh!!"

His body staggered backwards as a numb sensation coursed through his entire body. The bolt packed a power comparable to a Tier 7 spell, enough to hurt him; especially now, when he had just finished casting such a powerful spell. Not only was he caught off guard, he also didn't have enough energy to form a defensive spell strong enough to stop the attack.

"Dammit!! what is this now!!"

Before he could finish his words, once again another powerful bolt charged at him.

"Argghh!"

The dark elf's face quickly changed when he saw the purple chain lightning had surrounded him in all directions, back to front, above and below. He gritted his teeth hatefully because he knew exactly what this was.

"It's another damn formation!"

As the smoke that engulfed the surroundings cleared, the dark elf's eyes widened as he saw Fuxi's figure appear once again. Without further ado, the latter unleashed the might of the third flag he had prepared beforehand; the lighting array.

The lightning array was not a protection array nor an illusionary one like its predecessors. Instead, it was an offensive formation that would continuously shoot powerful lightning bolts at whoever was in it, which in this case was none other than the elderly dark elf.

"Arrghhh!! You fooled me once again!!"ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Fire(.)net

Knowing that a formation was something that needed to be prepared beforehand, the dark elf quickly realized that all those conversations beforehand were merely a ruse to bait him to use a powerful spell to break the barrier, causing him to be much more unprepared for the next attack..

His face quickly turned dark as he knew his opponent wouldn't stop here.

Hovering in the air, the Sage of 8 Paths was seen swinging his wooden sword nonstop, making strokes in the air. Every few strokes that formed a streak of light made a rune, and each rune appeared to piece the puzzle of a powerful skill.

The dark elf grand magus was experienced enough to intuitively know that the irritating lightning formation he currently had to deal with was merely an entree to what his opponent had prepared.

Hence he once again took out another artifact, swiftly breaking it before materializing another cast of the powerful dark flame again.

At the same time, Fuxi had completed the creation of his dozens of runes, which he concluded with a cut on his finger as he traced across the entire wooden sword. In the next instant, the air trembled as his flying swords multiplied at breakneck speed.

10 swords, 50 swords, 100 swords…

A grand total of 256 flying swords; all could be seen crowding and moving around him like a rushing river as they gave off a terrifying power. With a gesture from his hand, the flying swords quickly went into groups and flew in an unusual pattern.

[Hexagram Formation – Constellations of 8 Stars]

The dark elf's dark flames had just finished eradicating all of the lightning bolts when hundreds of swords assaulted him like a tsunami wave. Still, a confident look remained on his face as he believed his spell was able to burn all those wooden swords.

It was a formation attack that came in waves of layers and the dark elf's easily decimates the first layer which takes out half, 128 of the swords into ashes. Sweat poured down his face as he continuously destroyed the onslaught of swords; the second, the third and the fourth layer, and so on, until only 16 swords remained intact.

All sixteen were held hovered half a meter away from him trying to break in. They felt much heavier than the previous waves.

"AARGGHH!!"

Unable to hold them with spells, he settled with a powerful swing of his metal mace, however it only managed to break another layer and right after, his last bit of defense was shattered as 8 swords landed, piercing multiple spots on his body.

Then, Fuxi shouted  "NOW!!!"

Instantly, a figure appeared in front of the dark elf and Immediately thrust out long sharp claws into the dark elf's defenseless body.

Splaatttt!!!

The dark elf grand magus was powerful enough to endure the physical pain from the attack. However, what made his face turn completely pale was what happened afterward.
