Earth's Greatest Magus

"Julian will not be coming with us, Senior."

Emery said when he saw the Eastern Sage arrive. To his surprise, the sage did not question his decision at all.

That said, the two of them quickly headed towards the Terra Kingdom's teleportation gate under the dark cover of night. Upon arrival, they were immediately welcomed by the guards; and since all the guards present knew the identities of the two, no one dared to question their reasons for leaving in the middle of the night.

After passing through two different teleportation gates, a man that the Sage knew led them to a secret teleportation gate which was not guarded by the Alliance and two more gates after, the two of them finally arrived at the destination where the meeting would be held. As requested by the dark elves, the two sides would meet at a neutral location.

The place that had been chosen by Emery as the meeting place was a place Emery had been to before, and with the history and current situation of that place, the dark elves of the Darkmoon Clan agreed to it.

Said place was none other than Kulturmak planet, or rather what remained from it. Since the decimation of the planet by the elves, the place was now an abandoned planet inhabited only by wild creatures.

Even though it had basically become a ghost planet, fortunately there was still one functional portal on the planet that was left behind after the native people used it to migrate. With that, the two of them could reach this planet. As for how the dark elves would arrive, Emery has absolutely no idea.

It was not an ideal place to make an exchange indeed. In fact, if Emery was being honest, he was actually willing to accept whatever location the elves chose if it allowed his plan to go through; he was currently at that level of madness. Hence, agreeing on a place that he was familiar with and close enough to was a fortune in and of itself.

As soon as they arrived, Emery couldn't help but feel his heart once again wallow in despair as he gazed upon a broken-down town that used to be the living place of the kobolds.

The abandoned dilapidated houses and the scorched ground, such a scene quickly added to the anger that had been building up the past few days, igniting the savage urge that resided within him.

"The place is indeed empty," Said the Eastern Sage.

With a simple use of Spirit Reading, Grand Magus Fuxi swept through the area and sensed there were no humans or elves within the 500 miles area, just monsters, and wild animals.

It was at this moment that Emery turned to this senior of his. Under the latter's gaze, he lowered his head in an apologetic manner and said, "Senior, I apologize in advance, but I must insist on a slight change of plans."

Saying those words, he immediately proceeded to elaborate on what he was planning, and the Eastern Sage heaved a deep sigh of concern when he finished hearing it. He looked at his junior with a serious look as he said, "That's not a slight change at all.."

Emery appeared to know that as well but wanted to continue anyway. He was determined as he said, "Please, Senior, please help me do this."

The Eastern Sage was silent as he thought deeply about this matter. The plan Emery just suggested is far more dangerous than the original plan, though it could also be far more effective; it was the kind he would immediately reject.

But then, he was once again reminded of the second generation acolytes, whom he was extremely overprotective of. Thus with a glint of resolve in his eye, he ultimately decided to let Emery take the risk as he saw fit.

"Alright, but to make this work, you must do this…"

Now that he had decided to let Emery have his way, as a senior Fuxi naturally provided as much assistance as he could. Together, the two of them came out with a more refined plan and quickly made the preparations for it.

After everything was completed, the grand magus carried out the first part of the plan which was to let Emery leave for the meeting by himself.

"Thank you, Senior, for allowing me to do this."

Emery took out his Orbiter, stepped on it, and quickly flew to his destination. The reason he didn't use the Spatial Gate or his flying spell like he usually did was because he intended to hide his strength.

The trees below became a blur as Emery flew across hundreds of miles of forest. As he got closer to the exact meeting location, he could start to feel that people seemed to be watching him from the shadows in the distance.

As soon as there were only a few hundred meters left before he finally arrived, Emery took out the metal crest. He held the artifact holding the soul of the dark elf magus spirit inside tightly as his eyes fixed on the approaching destination.

"We are almost there," Emery said to the female elf.

A response soon came.

<Don't worry, my clan will definitely keep their word. Even after the trade is completed, they will not harm you>  the female elf said confidently.

Emery said nothing to the claim and just smiled. Moments later, he controlled the orbiter to descend and landed in a clearing where three figures were already waiting for him. One was an elder who emitted the aura of a grand magus, while the other two were dark elves who had reached the crescent stage of the magus realm.

As soon as Emery landed and the old man saw him, a disgusted expression appeared on his face.

"A little mouse came by himself; is this a joke?!"

Emery said nothing, gave no response to the insult. To his surprise, the fact that he was standing in front of three powerful elven figures at this moment didn't worry nor perturb him in the slightest.

Because Emery still had the metal crest in his grasp, the spirit soul of the female magus could clearly hear and follow the situation. She quickly recognized the elderly elf and thus spoke to Emery.

<I know him, That's Agar, my uncle's right hand man> Emery could feel a hint of surprise in Lynna's voice, but she confirmed that the one standing in front of him was indeed a dark elf of her Darkmoon Clan.

After receiving this confirmation, Emery finally opened his mouth and said to the powerful figures. "I'm just a messenger, My master sent me to help with the exchange."

Emery lied to get the most out of the conversation, afterall none of them would believe that he was the one making the decision.

A sneer immediately sounded from the other side. "Hah! Humans, so cowardly." It was apparent that the grand magus did not wish to speak much to a messenger. Glancing to his side, one of the two magus standing next to him quickly took out a bag from his spatial ring – one filled with an abundance of spirit stones.

"Here's what was promised. five million spirit stones, Now where is the princess?"

Taking a deep breath, Emery stared at the other side and said, "Unfortunately, my master wants to change the terms. He doesn't want spirit stones for the princess's spirit soul, he wants information instead."

Those words immediately provoked a glare from the dark elf grand magus.

"Are you playing with me, insect!?"

In that instant, Emery could feel his mind and body tremble violently as an intense pressure that seemed enough to kill him enveloped his very being.
