Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 574 - Fighting A Magus 4

The two versus one fight went on for a while.

Emery had fought with a gravity spell user before, the mad acolyte Lodos. Based on his experience, the gravity spell has a limited range and apparently the same case could be said with Hades' gravity spells.

Hence to make sure the enemy couldn't bind them, especially herself, with his [Gravitational Pressure], Klea used her agility and magical prowess to keep her distance from and continuously bombard the enemy.

[Windwalk] a speed enhancing spell that she quickly cast to herself and Emery, and with that out of the way, she put her concentration in long distance attacks consisting of the fast and strong [Thunderbolt] followed by the tier 3 [Gungnir] artifact weapon to attack.

Every time Klea cast [Thunderbolt], the air would crackle with erratic lightning currents, and tiny bolts of lightning faster than arrows would strike at the enemies with a whizz.

Meanwhile, the [Gungnir] the spear she received from king Fjolnir had a second function to turn into the size of an arrow and become a flying object that crackles with blue lightning. Moreover, each of its movements could be freely controlled by its wielder's mind.

The two kinds of attacks were perfect for Klea, considering her spirit reading skill and the strength of her spells currently enhanced by the [Bracelets of Anu].

The spear flew with the speed and precision of a predator, alive enough to make the magus have to dodge and watch his step every time it flew near.

As for Emery, he worked by complementing Klea's method of attack. He observed the spear's movement and cast [Blink] to appear on the magus' blind spots and launch a pincer attack. He also varied his attacks using [Spatial Gate], to jump in or sneak attack whenever the magus was distracted.

Emery's constant surprised attack also made the magus unable to get close to Klea.

The combined attack Emery and Klea did right now was a reminder of the time when the two had to fight the two Han swordsman. But this time, there was a significant power gap between them, which meant they could not afford to make any mistakes and had to use everything they had.

Splaaattt!!

With their cooperation, the two were able to lay a few little scratches on the magus.

At least, that was what they could see. However, even with his inferior spirit reading, Emery could sense that the magus was still holding back on using his real power.

In addition, that was not the least of his problems. Emery could tell that there's a limit to his shaman form.

Without the shaman form, there was no way for Emery to break free from the magus' gravity spells, nor would he be able to resist the [Hellfire Flame] spells the magus had been throwing around.

That realization was not his alone, either. Klea was smart enough to glean the current situation, and she tried to find ways to end the fight as soon as possible.

"Lord Hades! I thought the Nephilim are not supposed to interfere in the matters of this world. What is happening here?!"

"Huh! You think too much of yourself! Two rank 8 acolytes of a lower realm dying due to a misunderstanding was nothing in the magus world!" said Hades casually. "At most, I will receive some punishment, but seeing how the two of you fought me today, rest assured that my brothers will all agree with my decision."

Klea knew the other party had absolutely no intention to let them go when she heard that. However, what she did wasn't fruitless. After all, her plan was either to talk her way out of the fight or to distract the magus, and the latter apparently successful.

Not wanting to waste the chances afforded to him, Emery suddenly appeared behind the magus with his enhancement-infused moon dagger in his hand and swung it with his full strength.

Clank!

The blade made it inches from the magus' back before he deflected it with his staff.

However, the magus was surprised to see that there was a dark energy sphere accumulated on Emery's other hand. In fact, this was Emery's real attack, prepared just for this moment.

Emery's dark core was gleaming with power especially added with the shaman form, this was the strongest [Dark Matter] spell he ever created and also Emery's current strongest offensive strike.

The pressure emanated from the sphere was enough to make the magus's face change. He reflexively moved the staff in his hand, intending to once again block Emery's attack.

Baaaaammmmm!!!

The magus was surprised by the powerful blast. He could feel it was strong enough to hurt him. Alas, it wasn't over yet. At the same time, he felt the flying spear fly fast through the air, aiming at his back.

With such extreme conditions, at the last split second, Hades raised his hand and cast his other powerful gravity spells.

[Gravitational Push]

The powerful push forced Emery to dispel his attacking spell. The spell also threw him and the gungnir spear back a dozen meters, sending a cloud of dust and sand all around him.

The magus narrowed his eyes upon the two of them yet again before saying, "You two haven't yet entered your third year, and you have already reached the peak of a rank 8… You will become such a massive thorn in our future."

The magus floated in the air and scoffed, an air of haughtiness in his voice.

The magus' Gravitational Push spell was a perfect defensive move that could push all attacks from Klea and render all Emery's attacks useless. Its repelling properties were also able to ensure Emery would be unable to get close to him.

Afterwards, he appeared to have gathered up his power again. Heat pooled all around them, before merging atop his palms into blazing flames.

"Emery... Do you have any other tricks?!" Klea shouted at Emery.

"I have one more, but I am not sure it's going to work," said Emery with a grim face.

Unfortunately for him, there was another bad news. He could sense that his Fey Shaman transformation would only last a few more minutes.

The flames on the magus' hands turned black as the void and engulfed the cloaked man, creating a being in the shape of a human yet wreathed in black flames. The power radiating from the magus was palpable, and Emery could feel that the other party had released his true power.

"No more playing around. You two shall die now!!"
