Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

Chapter 736 - Answers

Three years ago, the girl was shocked when she found herself quickly being pulled from the academy in the middle of her hard-earned privileged class study without any explanation given to her.

Since then, she had been trying to find a way for her to return back to the academy. However, none of her family members were willing to support her. Hell, they weren't even willing to tell her what had actually happened..

Meanwhile, the seemingly eternal war between humans and elves had seemed to reach an entirely new level and heat that it even brought another bloodline into the list of clans that betrayed the Magus Alliance; the Wolf Bloodline.

Every individual related to the said bloodline was faced with immediate and harsh expulsion from the Magus Alliance. The privilege and access these people had were removed and revoked, causing many of those who still stayed in the Magus Alliance's territory to go under the radar.

Last year, one particularly renowned Wolf Bloodline magus happened to drop by into the Serpent Bloodline's territory. It was the one who had the moniker of Demon Wolf, Heorgar.

Thanks to the stormy situation of the war and how the Wolf Bloodline was in disarray following the news of their betrayal, the most talented wolf warrior of the White Fang Clan in the current generation went ahead and sought help to improve his Bloodline gene out of desperation.

A few months later, the man succeeded in his endeavor and broke through to the rank 7 Demon Wolf, which turn him into the strongest wolf magus in the white fang clan.

This series of events was what opened up the relation between the White Fang Clan and a particularly prestigious branch of Serpent Bloodline, the Ouroboros Clan.

Seeing the opportunity presented before her very eyes, the girl immediately went and convinced her uncle to help the White Fang Clan from their predicament by concocting a plan to lure and trap the real traitors hidden inside the Magus Alliance.

During the discussion between the two parties, the Wolf accused the newly-appointed headmaster Delbrand to be the culprit. Their reasoning was because the man was the one who gave them the mission that subsequently went awry and caused them to be expelled in the first place.

However, no one in the White Fang Clan knew the entirety of the matter except the Patriarch Lucius himself, but the man had been missing ever since.

With the many connections and schemes needed to even try pulling this feat, let alone successfully accomplish it, the girl from Orouboros had a valid reason to believe that the mastermind was not the Magus Academy's new headmaster.

Instead, it was the top figures of Zodiac City. There was even a possibility that the ruler of the said city, King Alduin himself, was the one planning to betray the alliance.

However, the girl only knew part of the secret - something about a particular scroll that was used by the culprit. She never knew what its content was exactly, as she didn't have that kind of access; but she was sure that scroll was the key.

Therefore, the girl went ahead and proposed a plan to lure the real culprit; using herself, the Ouroboros name, and a particular scroll as the 'proof' that would be given in the collaborated meeting.

To make sure the plan would succeed, she didn't just send the message of this meeting to Zodiac City. She also used her privileged channel to connect with the headmaster Delbrand himself, informing him about this matter.

The plan was set in motion, and it seemed both the Magus Academy and Zodiac City took the bait, hence the reason for the A-rank mission was created. Risk was taken and many lives were lost, but they were finally able to find out that the culprit came from Zodiac City.

Unfortunately, they didn't think nor expect how far the culprit would be willing to go in order to keep their secret safe; they would even go as far as sneaking an invasion force that could wipe out a planet.

Which finally lead them all to the current mess they were in

The girl finished telling her story and suddenly stare at Emery and cursed

"What the fu*k a rank 8 acolyte like you doing in an A-rank mission nevertheless!?" said Silva to Emery as she explained the situation to Magus Leon, which led to her association to the White Fang Clan.

Unexpectedly, the enforcer answered her inquiry on his behalf.

"This acolyte is here because he was personally asked to join by Headmaster Delbrand. The headmaster thought that his particular relationship with both the Wolf Bloodline and specifically his relation to you would be helpful for the mission."

Magus Leon's explanation had succeeded in silencing the girl.

It was decided that the enforcer group would be separated between the two ships, with Magus Leon and Jasper - the enforcers in charge of safekeeping the spirit soul of both Magus Nimerian and Jigow - be the ones boarding the small ship.

Their main objective was to head towards the nearest Magus Alliance's facility and report the situation. The bigger ship, on the other hand, would do a risky thing which was making one quick run throughout the planet to find if there were any lucky survivors.

Currently, the Demon Wolf Heorgar was busy preparing the ship to fly as soon as possible. After all, the muffled sound of bombardment could still be heard continuously above them.

When the ships were finally ready to take off, the condition of the hideout was already in peril.

From the window, Emery could clearly see the metal wall of the hideout was shaking violently and various large cracks were starting to appear on its surface. A grim expression appeared on his face, but he knew there was nothing he could do but pray for the ship to move faster.

As he turned around, Emery was greeted with the sight of Silva pointing her finger towards a particular person still tied up at the far end of the room.

"So what should we do with her? Should we just throw her out?" Silva asked with her hands folded together.

That certain person was none other than Annara, the Bat Bloodline privileged acolyte who helped Emery tailing Magus Leon and the others before being abandoned by him.

The two could clearly see that hidden by the ball of cloth that gagged her mouth, Annara was currently cursing with all she had. Emery, however, didn't seem to mind this as he approached her and took the gag off her mouth.

When the freedom of her mouth was given again, the red-haired girl immediately shouted loudly.

"You piece of backstabber bast-"

Hearing the few words that came out of her mouth, Emery swiftly gagged her with the cloth again.

"Let's let her cooldown a bit first," said Emery as he turned to Silva.

The snake girl raised her eyebrows when she heard what Annara had just said. It was apparent that she was curious as to why she had said such words to him.

Fortunately, Emery didn't need to explain anything as their attention was immediately distracted by the sound of the ship's engine running and Heorgar's words.

"We are going now! Be prepared!"

Almost at the same time as the demon wolf said those words, the huge gate in front of the ships was opened. Immediately after, the two ships moved out of the hideout with the only grand magus - Duke Sirye - flying in between preparing to protect the two ships.

The moment the ships surfaced, as expected, several shots were swiftly fired towards them from above, intending not to let the two ships just leave.
