Earth's Greatest Magus-Chapter 1377: The Raid 4

Not only that the newly-arrived magus was at the Half Moon stage, the other party was also a master of the Law of Gravity, making him a difficult opponent to fight against.

"A friend of yours, Emery?" Silva asked when she noticed the look on his face. She was also surprised that all the fighting suddenly came to a stop because of the arrival of this particular human magus.

"That is Cassian, a traitor to the Magus Academy." Brandishing his weapon towards the newcomer, Emery said with a hateful tone, "You will pay for your betrayal today!"

A chuckle escaped the magus' mouth upon hearing those words. "Hahaha, you are indeed interesting, kid, but you are way over your head."

After he said that, Cassian did a motion with his hand and suddenly both Emery and Silva felt an intense pressure on their bodies. It forced them down toward the ground as if their weight had become a hundred times heavier.

[Gravitational Pressure]

As he knew about the spell the magus cast, Emery quickly tried to neutralize it by casting the same spell. However, he instantly discovered that his spell was incomparable to the magus'. It was like a river facing a tsunami of gravity force, his power was being pushed back relentlessly.

As a result, he and Silva were both restrained by the magus' spell.

Magus Cassian truly verified his reputation as a specialist in gravity spells as the power he was displaying was at least ten times stronger than what Emery felt when he faced Hades.

"Hahaha, you've only been learning this spell for a few weeks, whereas I've been doing the same thing for hundreds of years... What a pathetic display."

His amusement was subsequently followed by disdain as he said, "Now kill him!"

As if heeding his words, the four dark elf magus immediately took action as they shot toward the two with their weapon and spells unleashed. Attacks formed from various elements streaked through the air, each possessing the power to instantly kill any acolyte.

With both their bodies held down, bereft of movements by Cassian's spell, and Emery's attention completely on fighting the gravity force, Silva took action and cast a protection spell for the two of them.

[Wall of Thorn]

In an instant, the ground beneath their feet broke apart as multiple white silvery roots with sharp dark thorns shot out and quickly formed a dome barrier that covered their surrounding area. The attacks sent by the elves collided with it.

It was an upgraded form of one of the innate skills of the Snake Serpent bloodline and, to the surprise of the elves, it was able to stop their attacks from going through, leaving the two relatively unharmed.

"This won't last long," Silva said to Emery, as beads of sweat appeared on her face. "If you have any other ideas, then do it now!"

The first thought that came to Emery's mind was to retreat to safety using his [Blink]. However, the gravity force that Magus Cassian's spell was still inflicting made the task much more difficult. He found himself struggling to pinpoint a location.

It was at this exact moment that Emery finally looked towards the third figure who had been more than ready to support them.

"Twikkk!"

Kuang! Ku ku!

Hearing Emery's shout, the plant creature immediately stretched out his body to create another layer to Silva's wall of thorns, which would hopefully be enough to give them the time to deal with the gravity spell.

Multiple spells and skills continued to strike the barrier rapidly as the elves were giving their all trying to blast through the two plant walls. Their efforts bore fruit as an opening was soon created, but before they could capitalize on it, it had disappeared as the plants were able to quickly regenerate, giving even the magus a hard time.

Not only that, Silva had also once again let out a poisonous smoke which forced the elves to step back. Nevertheless, she knew this would only buy them a few more seconds before their demise eventually arrived.

"We have to leave now!" Silva said with great urgency.

However, to her complete surprise, Emery still stood there with his eyes closed. Unbeknownst to her, he was trying to understand the new comprehension in the Law of Gravity that suddenly came to him.

Unexpectedly, the difficult tug of war between the two forces of gravity made him realize the difference in their power. They were not only different in strength, but in fact also in its signature; Emery realized he had something that the other party didn't have â€" the power of space and he intuitively felt that this might be the key to triumph over the latter.

Ignoring the commotion happening outside him, he raised both of his hands to the sides and tried to alter the space in his surroundings. Just like when he tried to block the recall spell, Emery created spatial distortion around him.

His actions apparently affected the magus' spell as he could sense the oppressive gravity force slightly weakening. Meanwhile, Magus Cassian was hovering slightly over the ground with hsi gravity spell, closing in when he felt the abnormality.

"Huh, there is no point in resisting!"

The magus used his bare hands enveloped in the terrifying power of gravity to tear through and apart the tattered wall of plants that the elves had been bombarding relentlessly.

As the magus flew closer to the two, Silva couldn't help but grit her teeth as the gravity force affecting her body became even more powerful.

"Urrghh!"

Unable to hold on anymore, the white-haired girl fell to her knees grimacing in pain. At the same time, the walls of plants stopping the elves' attacks were finally destroyed apart, with Twik getting thrown and crashing into the wall.

However, Emery was still focusing most of his attention on grasping his newfound insight. However, realizing the increasingly perilous situation they were in, he gritted his teeth and got ready to discharge all the energy within his dark core that had been building up from devouring the dark elves.

The eruption of darkness energy spread out rapidly and broke apart all layers of space in the surrounding area. It was powerful enough to forcibly push and neutralize the Magus gravitational force around him.

Then it dawned on him.

It was at this moment that Emery finally understood the one spell he had not been able to cast these past few months no matter what he tried. Channeling his power into this realization, that particular spell appeared to become a reality.

[Anti Magic]

The A Rank darkness spell revealed its prowess. As soon as it was cast, not only did it affect the surrounding space, depriving it of any trace of magic, it also numbed the connection one had to their spirit core.

"No! This cannot be!" Magus Cassian screamed in disbelief as he was currently within the effect radius of the spell. His face changed as he felt disconnected with his spell. "No anti-magic spell could stop my power easilyâ€" You! This is... huh... This is why my master is interested in you so much, isn't it?"

The Anti Magic spell Emery had just cast was an explosion of spatial force that exerted influence over his surrounding area for a limited amount of time until he had to cast it once again.

However, even with only one activation, Emery could feel that nearly all of his monstrously huge spirit pool was depleted. This meant it was unlikely for him to cast the spell a second time.

His worry however was quickly overwhelmed by his intense desire for battle now that the table had been evened out.

"No worries, I don't need spells, for what I am going to do next to you all!"

The other effect that the enhancement of his bloodline gene gave was that Emery now possessed a larger degree of control over the primal urge of his bloodline. With that, he deliberately unleashes the urge to trigger his most powerful skill that had absolutely no reliance on magic.

[Beast Transformation]

HOWLLLLL--

Once again, along with his growing muscle and fur, Emery let out his battle roar as his claws displayed their sharpness, ready to bring hell upon their enemy.

But before doing any of that, he landed his gaze on the traitor who was standing closest to him.

"You first!"

With everyone in the area still affected by the blast of the Anti Magic spell, they were all forced to rely on just their physiques or their artifacts to fight.

The gravity specialist magus Cassian was smart enough to turn his tail and tried his best to get some distance away from Emery, however he was not fast enough nor strong enough as Emery managed to tackle him down and stab his claw into the magus, along with the blood that bursted out of his chest, Emery force his spirit energy as well.

[Spirit Devour]

"Arrrgghhh!!!"
