Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1121 Priority

Emery sat in the lotus position and started to heal his wounds. At the same time, the female grand magus had decided to fly away.

Before following his master, Zach glanced at Emery and gave a slight nod. It was most probably a gesture of gratitude for helping his breakthrough, but with the man's cold expression, Emery would never know.

The two people eventually left without saying anything else, leaving him behind on the gray plains among the many beast corpses strewn about.

Emery sat in silence, lost in a pensive state. The grand magus saying he was merely whetstone for the Dragon protege naturally affected him to some degree, but what bothered him the most was actually the two pieces of dark steel in front of him.

His precious Tier 5 [Savage Sword].

As he grabbed one of the broken pieces, the memory of a certain girl came into his mind along with her sincere wish for him to reach number one.

"I am sorry for breaking it, Silva," he muttered under his breath in a bitter tone.

Emery was only 4 ranks behind to become number one. He had gone this far to achieve his target, but these final four seem like an impassable mountain, especially now that he had lost his precious sword.

Despair, disappointment and anger all mixed together and filled the recesses of his mind. At that moment, Emery could not help but sulk on his failure, drowned in the silence around him.

His silence was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of several figures that emerged from the sand.

A group of legendary creatures along with one of the mythical ones among them came surrounding him. It was clear what their intentions were.

"You all are bothering me at the wrong time!" Emery grunted, a glint flashing across his eyes.

Howwllllll—

The howling sound of the wolf resounded as Emery swiftly returned to his Twilight Transformation and unleashed his [Blade Claw], letting out all the emotions he was feeling on these creatures.

Even though he was already stronger than just a few days ago, it still took everything Emery had to kill this pack of creatures. However, his hardship was not fruitless as he got to devour all of their spirit energy.

[Spirit Absorption]

[Spirit force increased]

It was an almost full mist that he absorbed, but Emery only gained one spirit force after completely absorbing them. Due to having reached a high stage of rank 9, it only became harder for him to upgrade his spirit force.

When he finished devouring the creatures that disturbed him, Emery didn't stand up yet. Instead, he proceeded to close his eyes and meditate, calming his troubled mind and trying to gather his focus on his goal.

There was less than a month before the final test and Emery needed to make good use of the time. He did not want to waste a moment more and exert his focus as much as possible to gain more advantages from the academy before returning home.

Seeing the corpses of high-level beasts around him, his first thought was to use the time he had left to hunt and devour as many of these beasts as he could. He made a quick calculation with the three to four weeks he had left and thought he could probably get around 50 spirit forces by the time he was done.

However, he quickly threw the idea away.

What he needed the most was something he wouldn't be able to find on Earth, something that would help him until he reached the magus stage.

Earth definitely did not have a high-level beast that could help him boost his spirit force quickly, but he had the Khaos Space. Hence, he knew he would still reach the 2000 spirit force milestone eventually, it was just a matter of when. Besides, having an extra 50 spirit force wouldn't affect his strength much.

Other than boosting his spirit force, he really should find more guides to comprehend the element. At least that was the most essential necessity he could think of.

Like the light element that he only had a minimal comprehension on or on the other spectrum, the mysterious relation between space and gravity of the dark core.

Besides his cultivation, Emery also needed to fix his broken Tier 5 sword. Not only because it was a weapon he used, the sword was also a precious item to him.

He also needed to have some preparation to continue his research on the body tempering potion when he eventually returned to Earth. What's more, there was also something he could not forget, a way to heal the girl who probably still lay helplessly in the Gaia Shrine.

"Morgana… I wonder if you have awakened already?"

If she was not, Emery hoped his newly created [Reviving Pill] with the originality 5 would do the job, but to be really sure, he still wanted to work on the [Rebirth] spell that he was still unable to cast.

These were the things he needed to seek before he returned home, as most of these things he won't find the answer to on Earth.

Now that Emery started to think objectively, he realized there were other matters as important as defeating Zach and being number one.

Emery stood up from his meditation and took out his orbiter. He stepped on it and flew high in the sky. After traveling some distance, his eyes caught the silhouette of an object floating in the mist. It was the bottom of the flying island he had come from.

There was a hidden force that made him unable to pass the mist, hence Emery spent hours exploring the bottom of the flying island with his Spirit Reading to find the hole he had fallen from. When he finally found it, he quickly made his way up through it.

The spider creatures were once again trying to stop him, but it still took him less time to reach the surface as now he could cast his [Spatial Gate].

At this point, Emery could clearly feel his spatial magic had further strengthened, he could create the spatial gate much faster with a more accurate exit position.

Along the way, he didn't encounter Zach or his master, the huge Salamander also could not be found within the cave. Because of that, Emery thought the duo probably had left the floating island as well.

As soon as he left the place, Emery flew toward his spirit cave and was warmly welcomed by his little plant creatures.

"Ku ku. Kuang kuang"

"Glad to see you boys again," he said, squatting in front of them.

Seeing those little plants, Emery felt much more relaxed. An instant smile appeared on his lips as he was talking with them.

A minute later, his attention fixed on Twik.

He straightly stared at him as he got a strong feeling towards this wooden creature. Something in him believed this little guy could be the solution to his problem.

Not only could the little guy help him master the Rebirth spell, but if Emery could successfully cast the Fusion spell once again, Twik could very well be the answer for him to become the number one.

"Don't you agree Twik?" Emery said with a smile.

"Kuang ku ku kuang."
