Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

With his newfound battle art, Emery was able to bypass multiple guards and restricted doors with ease. He took several turns following his knowledge of the facility layout, and in a short while, he finally reached the most restricted area of the facility while avoiding all detection.

'Let's hope this works,' Emery silently thought to himself as he took out a silver card almost the size of a palm; it was an access card that he stole from a senior staff member just a few days prior.

After a moment, the door budged with a low creak. Emery's eyes lit up when he pushed the door, but his expression quickly turned into shock when it was finally open.

Behind the thick metallic door were hundreds of tubes, each containing bodies inside.

Suppressing his wildly palpitating heart, Emery apprehensively walked around the room and carefully observed the tubes. They were mostly bodies of half-blood Wolves; most of them legendary, with several of them being mythical.

'Are they clones? Or… are they the real ones?'

After some thought, such a thing was to be expected in a facility like this. In fact, it was very similar to the room within the Ouroboros gene facility.

As he continued walking deeper into the expansive room, the bodies in the tubes began to differ in bloodline; there were at least a few of each bloodline known, and Emery even spotted a few elven bodies among them.

Curious though he was, Emery couldn't afford to waste any more time observing these unknown bodies. He began to look around for any clues and pieces of information he could find and made sure not to leave any trace of himself ever being there in the process.

In the midst of searching through piles of scrolls around the place, Emery stumbled upon what seemed to be a special room in a hidden corner of the area.

He tried using the senior staff access card to unlock the door, but it didn't work. Still, he was unwilling to let go so easily. For a room to be locked inside what was already the most restricted area in the entire facility, something crucial was definitely inside.

It was after looking around the area for a bit that he found a small window leading to the same room. It was also tightly sealed, but Emery could see that inside was another body contained in a similar tube.

Indeed, to be isolated in a separate room, whatever or whoever inside must be someone of extremely high importance. It took Emery a few seconds, but the moment he recognized the face of the individual inside, he subconsciously took a step back.

It was the body of the Alpha King, Marcus Silvermane himself.

At that moment, Emery realized that he underestimated the importance of this place.

'I should leave!'

Just as he was about to rush out, he sensed the energy of multiple individuals closing in on the place. At least half a dozen magus-level warriors.

"Dammit, I must've triggered something!'

Judging from the fast-approaching energies, it was almost impossible for him to leave without a fight.

***

Months ago, on the other side of the galaxy.

On an island within a blue planet, within a special Khaos space, a red-haired young woman had been diligently using [Spirit Walk] to the shattered soul inside a dead body.

A year had passed since she first received confirmation that half of the young man's soul was somewhere across the galaxy. Despite that, her months of attempts to stay in contact bore no result. She was convinced that she would not be able to fix the current soul without the help of the other half.

Knowing well of this fact, Killgaragh laughed in schadenfreude. "I don't believe in coincidence, but this must be the work of fate."

The young woman was in no mood for whatever the dragon was trying to sell her as usual. However, this time, the dragon's next words grabbed her full attention.

"Do you even have any understanding of Khaos? Are you not the least bit curious about what lies behind that door?"

Meeting the young woman's question-filled stare, the dragon pointed at the locked door on the side of the Khaos space.

"If you go through that door, you will find what you seek."

Although he didn't state it explicitly, the dragon hinted that she would find him if she went through the door. Such a promise greatly piqued her interest.

If Khaos was said to be the master of space, then… what the dragon said might really be possible.

Her months of never-ending failure made the offer much more tempting.

But of course, there was no way that accessing such a thing would be so simple. The dragon said that in order to access the door, she needed to break through into the Magus realm first.

Although she found it hard to trust the dragon, she found it feasible that breaking through could be a solution to her current situation. Being a Magus should have some effect on her [Spirit Walk] and, in turn, help her reach him.

With a deep breath, she ultimately decided to give in.

"All right, tell me how to break through into the Magus realm."

The dragon immediately let out an explosive laugh. "Finally!"

Staying in the Khaos space for over three years assisted her in reaching the level of spirit force she needed. Afterward, with the dragon's guidance coupled with her perseverance and fearlessness of death, she was able to break through into the Magus realm.

She broke two of the nine pillars formed, all of which were her plant-element pillars. The darkness pillar, however, was filled with overwhelming Khaos energy that stood strong in guiding her through into the Magus realm.

With her breakthrough also came a boost in her strength. She could feel that she had become much stronger, and the first thing she did after was to use [Spirit Walk] to the soul once again.

To her great surprise, with her newfound strength, their souls were now able to connect through the shattered soul during some rare moments. She was able to find him and even saw him walking in a busy street. The area was akin to a market, and upon closer inspection, she was sure that he was not on Earth.

"Emery!" she reflexively shouted his name.

Unexpectedly, it seemed that the person on the other side could hear her despite how faint the connection was. He looked in her direction when she shouted, but the connection was cut short after only a second.

The moment was brief, but she could feel it. It was indeed him! She immediately proceeded to attempt another connection in excitement, but no connection was formed after a long time.

She couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

Still, there was no way she was just about to stop there. The connection was faint and short, but it was definitely there. She was now leaps closer to her goal.

She managed to regain the connection again a few days later, and while it lasted a little longer than the first time, it still didn't last long at all.

Hearing his voice after all these years made her realize just how much she missed him.

The next time she successfully made a connection, she saw him surrounded by a large number of powerful individuals with no way out. Filled with anxiety, she approached the dragon.

"Tell me about the door."

Author's Note:

Dear readers,

With this chapter, the month of March has come to an end.

Thank you for all your support, especially in purchasing the privileged chapters. It's thanks to you that I'm able to continue this story, and for that, thank you.

I also thank you for your patience as I slowly fill the Magus universe with more content on the half-blood race. It might not be as suspenseful as the attack on the academy or the elven battle, but it's necessary to complete the world-building of the story.

Nevertheless, I hope that this chapter of Morgana convinced you that the coming month will be much more exciting.

I hope you'll join me again for April's chapters, and don't forget to drop by our Discord channel for the end-of-the-month events!
