Earth's Greatest Magus

After an hour of break, the day's second match finally started.

With the tournament reached its pinnacle with 8 matches remaining, the arena went through another change.

This time the stadium has been turned into one single space, half a mile in diameter, leaving the whole 3 million audience and dozens of flying drones to just focus on one fight at a time.

The first match began with a bang.

The battle between two fierce fighters, Demon Nunchaku Diyoo and Zetto the Berserker, put on a brutal sight raising the expectations for the rest 7 fights to follow.

Dyoo excelled in his agility, and tried to set the rhythm of the battle to his favor; unfortunately, he failed short, unable to break the Titan's, Berserker Fury.

"Feel the wrath of God!!"

Shout Zetto as he went on a full assault. His eyes sneered at Diyoo, almost mocking his opponent's inevitable defeat.

Dyoo still tried his best burning the last ounce of energy left in him but finally came to a stop with the wailing sound of his spirit beast.

"You… will not…. Defeat me… Me! Dyoo!"

The Demon Nunchaku was still spurring for another fight, but his standing bloody figure was unable to move another muscle.

"Zetto the berserker wins!"

Announced the referee and brought the spectators from their trance as they stood clapping for such a spellbinding fight before once again they welcomed the next match.

"Shatter Cross versus Mahinder Nieves"

The previous rank 5 of the privileged class, high Noble of the Cross family came into the arena with a gloomy look and cursing endlessly.

"Urrghh!! This is a fucking setup! My father will hear about this!" complained the Noble as he looked down on the spectators, referee, and his opponent with a fiery glare.

He was still unable to accept having to face the current rank one so early in the tournament.

"Fuck!!"

Having the title of the strongest offensive attack, the man didn't disappoint as his fingers [fusion bolt] were strong enough to break through the monk's defensive barrier.

However, to his horror, the monk effortlessly created more barriers to withstand the salvo of attacks from Cross Prince, while he quickly enough used up all of his finger shots.

"Fuck!! Fuck!!Cunt!!" Met with failure to hurt the monk, the young Noble's movements turned rushed and clumsy.

Enraged, he ended up using his [fusion blade] attack; unfortunately, all nullified by the monk's palm strike.

As the battle proceeded to close-quarters battle skills, the Noble of Cross family failed to keep up with the monk's years of martial art training.

Each exchange between the acolytes resulted in Shatter bearing the brunt of Multiple palms. Bruised and bleeding, Shatter admitted his defeat, unable to bear the humiliation anymore.

"Mahinder Nieves wins," announced the referee, making the result official just as everyone expected.

The crowd showered the monk with praises and glory of the victor, as the previous number 5 ranking acolyte was shunned aside, accompanied by his own curses as he left the limelight.

Two names were already engraved to be in the top 8 rankings, and the tournament continued for the third one.

"Emery Ambrose versus Mera"

A pale and skinny-looking female looked at Emery with a welcoming smile and introduced herself before saying.

"My master Yvere mentioned good things about you.." she stated as her voice contained a sense of warmth.

Emery got nothing but a good impression on her master, grand magus Yvere of the plant institute, especially with the timely help he received regarding Twik and the plant creatures last month.

With a friendly tone, Emery replied

"I Hope I didn't trouble the elder too much,"

The female acolyte gestured and acted in a friendly way, but her eyes and uncontainable sly smile said otherwise.

"I most probably will not win against you… but my hope is that we can compare our proficiency in nature elements. I would like to know who among us is the better acolyte in nature spells"

It was a request for a duel with only nature spells.

​ Realizing he hasn't been depending on his nature spell for a while made a silent agreement about his willingness.

To challenge himself further, Emery was interested and decide to accept

"You can start first," Emery said in a confident tone

"Alright, I will"

Leaving no second to spare, Mera cast her first spell, which resulted in the whole half mile arena being seized by the greenery of trees and grass.

Not getting overwhelmed by the spell, Emery countered as he cast his [Jade Root] to create a defensive area of his own.

As the two spells collided with each other, they felt the subtle familiarity and differences between the nature of their spells and the plant they created.

The girl let out a deep gratifying sigh and said with a genuine smile.

"The plants you created are so vibrant and strong... it's perfect for my children"

As she said so, the plants she created turned into an overgrown, thick forest at the fickle of her fingers.

"I will start now!" she declared with unbridled confidence. As she cast her second spell.

[Forest Curse]

Fruits bearing the curse took birth among the trees and burst to release the spores they bore throughout the arena.

It was the same spell he used to weaken the Titan Sigurd.

To tackle the spell, Emery summoned multiple [Rejuvenating mushrooms] that would neutralize the dangerous spores by washing them with positive energy.

"Very good counter! now feel the full strength of my plants!"

Mera's plants were mutated into much more potent versions while the tree roots aggressively moved around the place, entangling and feasting over Emery's mushrooms and slowly eradicating them.

Emery quickly sends his multiple jade roots to challenge, and it quickly becomes a battle of plant roots, all trying to entangle and break apart each other.

Although Emery has stronger and more dominating roots, Mera's has multiple fruits that keep showering poisonous spores, gradually weakening the Jade roots until it withers and dies.

Seeing such ability, Emery realized the extent of the female acolyte's power. She was a talent who had proficiency in both plants and darkness. Someone who was walking on the path of Disease.

Being an apothecary expert, Emery realized that Mera was using dangerous organisms, a virus that could destroy any living thing, which means countering with a living plant was not the right move against her.

Emery analyzed and prepared a few ideas to counter her spell, but he was limited in the ways to deal with her just using his nature spells.

He wonders if he should just admit his loss and start using his other element instead.
