Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

In response to the grand magus equipping high-grade weapons, Emery swiftly adapted by retracting his claws and replacing them with a [Savage Blade] on one arm and a [Gentle Sword] on the other. He accompanied this with another taunt directed at the grand magus.

His provocation resonated, enraging the elder who shouted, "You shall die!" An even more intimidating aura emanated from the man as he dashed forward with a powerful swing, unleashing a force that exceeded 1000 in battle power. To block, Emery was forced to employ his sword art, [Omega Strike], continuously transitioning between the two blades.

The clash between their weapons echoed through the backyard, each strike contributing to the storm of rocks and dust that engulfed the battleground.

The intense exchange of blows revealed Emery's determination to stand against the oppression inflicted by the Kronos faction for centuries. The pain in his arms was sharp, but he ignored it, channeling his resolve into every strike. The metallic symphony of the duel resonated through the air, a testament to Emery's unwavering defiance. His focus remained unbroken, refusing to allow himself to be defeated, even as the powerful swings of the grand magus pressed him further.

It was an intense battle that served as a source of inspiration for Emery's friends, who watched in awe as he held his ground against the formidable grand magus. On the opposing side, Zeus grew increasingly irritated to the point of considering direct intervention, contemplating the option of killing Emery himself. However, Klea swiftly stepped in, her words a stern warning, "Don't you dare think about it."

Amidst a dozen clashes, Emery, with a confident smile, taunted, "Is that all you got?" The grand magus, frustrated by Emery's resilience, decided it was time to unleash his most powerful attack. Channeling an overwhelming amount of energy into both his arms, the entire Terra city quaked. The space around him distorted, and rocks floated weightlessly in the air, creating an ominous atmosphere.

Concerned about the potential destruction of the city, Emery made a strategic decision. He ascended into the sky, positioning himself above the city to channel his power safely. Meanwhile, Gerri and a group of enforcers arrived, attempting to intervene and halt the escalating conflict.

"Stop what you are doing right now!!"

The grand magus, however, disregarded their presence, keeping his focus on Emery with a menacing declaration, "I will make this city rain with pieces of your blood and flesh!"

A massive crater bore witness to the grand magus's powerful strikes, and in response, Emery unleashed the combined might of both his cores into his two swords, culminating in a full-powered [Dao Edge].

The collision of these two immense powers created a deafening boom, sending shockwaves through the fabric of space and stirring up a violent storm of winds.

As the dust settled, a figure descended from the sky – it was the grand magus, chuckling with a satisfied demeanor. "Hahaha, that's what he got for messing with me," he boasted. The Terra magus and Gerri were in a state of panic, while Klea, maintaining her composure, reassured them, "It's not over yet."Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

The grand magus's laughter abruptly ceased, replaced by an expression of annoyed surprise. "How! How can this be?!" he exclaimed. Emery calmly descended from the sky, standing unharmed by the powerful clash. With unwavering composure, he addressed the grand magus, "Do you still wish to continue?"

After a brief survey of the enforcers, the grand magus suppressed his anger, redirecting his focus toward Emery. He spoke, his tone a mix of frustration and desperation, "Are you really not going to release her? She is my blood, and I will not leave until you give her back."

Emery, maintaining his calm demeanor, responded, "If you want the bandit back, you need to pay."

Grunting in annoyance, the grand magus inquired, "How much?"

"I want a guarantee that Kronos will not trouble Earth or my friend until the time of the duel," Emery calmly stated.

The grand magus hesitated before reluctantly agreeing, "As long as she is alive, you have my word!"

Emery scoffed, dismissing the assurance, "Your words mean nothing to me."

The grand magus turned to Zeus, asserting, "He wouldn't dare mess with you! I guarantee that."

Emery, unyielding, reiterated, "No, no. I want a blood contract signed by Kronos himself."

A heavy silence fell, and Emery added, "That's the only way I would trade the bandit. Otherwise, I will keep her as insurance until the duel. Inform me when you have what I want." The terms were set, leaving the grand magus with no choice but to comply.

Irritated, the grand magus turned around, ready to leave, and was halted by Emery once again. "Wait..." Emery pointed towards the holes in the shattered Terra palace. "You still need to pay for the damage you've done today."

The grand magus threw him a pouch filled with spirit stones and left the place. Klea, ever the practical one, jumped to check the bag. "Wow, there's at least 5 million here!"

Emery's response was dry, "Aren't you supposed to be concerned about my wounds first?"

"Well, high-grade medicines need money, you know," she said with a mischievous smile. The banter and nonchalance of the exchange showed the camaraderie among the group, even in the aftermath of a fierce confrontation.

Despite the nonchalance displayed in front of his friends, the reality was that beyond their perceptions, Emery's high regeneration could only do so much. While it managed to heal the external wounds, the grand magus's previous attack had inflicted damage internally. Emery could still feel a lingering pain, something that required hours to fully heal. If the fight had prolonged, Emery might not have been able to emerge victorious.

This battle and the resulting wound served as a stark reminder for him to continue growing stronger. Emery reflected on the need to enhance his abilities and deepen his understanding of his powers. As of now, he had successfully conveyed a message to the Kronos faction—that Earth's magus would not be easily bullied.
