Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 737 - Air Fights

The hideout, which was completely made of durable metal, was continuously bombarded until it finally couldn't take it anymore and the walls were cracking apart under the sheer burden it bore.

Fortunately, just as the wall of the hideout was about to collapse entirely, two flying ships managed to get out of the hideout safely, that was until they were given a greeting gift.

The elf cruiser-type spaceship that hovered right above the hideout and had been bombarding it with its energy beams had clearly been preparing for the appearance of the two ships.

As soon as the two ships came out and flew above the surface, not only did the spaceship launch the largest bombardment of energy beams at the former's direction, it even dispatched several smaller ships towards them.

Duke Sirye of the Oroboros, who was flying above the gaps between the two escaping ships, quickly drew his spirit force within his body and employed it to create a wide dome-shaped barrier strong enough to withstand the overwhelming bombardment.

However, as he had to stop the energy beams, Duke Sirye didn't have the capability to handle the smaller ships. As a result, despite successfully destroying several of them, at least two dozen pyramid-shaped enemy ships managed to pass through and chase the two ships escaping without facing any obstruction.

The situation suddenly turned into a contest of speed, leaving the grand magus to take care of the elf spaceship by himself.

"Will your uncle really be alright?" Emery asked in a concerned tone to Silva.

She turned her head slightly at him before nodding. "Yes, he is the slimmest grand magus I have ever seen. That old man will be fine."

Silva's words were filled with confidence, however, they did not match the gestures and expressions her body was showing. Emery could even faintly hear the words she muttered under her breath over and over.

"He will be fine... He will…"

One of the benefits of breaking through to the magus realm was the ability to take off from the ground and fly in the air. However, when it came to outer space, magus still had their own limitations.

It was only grand magus level figures, who were able to rule over the law of space in their surroundings that could freely travel back and forth between planets.

This was one of the reasons why Silva was less worried about her uncle: the fact that grand magus, after all, didn't really need a ship to escape from this kind of situation. Despite that being the case, it was normal for her to worry about her uncle's well-being, as he was one of the closest people she had in his life.

Emery turned his attention to the window, which gave a view of the fierce battle that was taking place. From the edge of the horizon, he saw Silva's uncle, Duke Sirye, still resisting the relentless onslaught of energy beams, while countering with what appeared to be a tier 8 spell, creating havoc and holding the large spaceship in place as planned.

Due to the Duke's actions, the two escaping ships only had to deal with the 22 triangular ships bent on pursuing them.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Loud consecutive sound resounded in the air, as the ships began to fire attacks towards each other.

This was the first time Emery had the opportunity to see how airborne ship battles unfolded with his own eyes. He had to say it was very fascinating, despite the dangers they were in.

Numerous beams of destructive energy shot out and swiftly flew through the air, as their ships were shot from behind by the triangular ships.

Heorgar, who was currently controlling the White Fang ship naturally tried to outmaneuver and dodge the attacks, but of course some still managed to land and were able to deliver a strong wave of tremor through the entire ship.

"The other side is too fast! It must be a newer model!" Magus Leon shouted, when he saw how fast their pursuers were moving, looking more frantic than usual.

Seeing the situation, Magus Jasper quickly volunteered to take over the control panel from Heorgar's clutch, as apparently flying was not in the list of expertises the renowned Demon Wolf's had.

However, even after Magus Jasper took over and their ship began to move more smoothly and nimbly, the group quickly discovered they were still unable to rid themselves of their pursuers.

The medium ship, which had more defensive weapons installed on board, quickly started a counterattack by firing a series of attacks at its pursuers. However, it was clear this was far from sufficient, as the 20 plus ships were still following behind at a fairly close distance.

It was at this time Emery saw three familiar figures coming out of the medium-sized ship. The two other enforcers, Magus Michela and Magus Laban, with the White Fang leader Chief Beowulf right behind the two.

The three of them stood on the fast moving ship. Emery saw Magus Michela launch a powerful lightning spell that hit one of the triangular shaped ships. On the other hand, Magus Laban used a combination of spells and his shield to block the energy beams coming from the chasing ships.

The powerful tier 6 lightning spells cast successively by Michela were enough to disperse the neatly packed group of pursuing ships, and even send a few of them down to the ground. However, those ships would quickly reassemble and begin firing their weapons once again.

Half a dozen shots that Laban received were enough to break his shield apart. Losing his defensive artifacts, the man started to use his ax to deflect the energy beams and even his armor to block. It wasn't long before the magus got hurt and almost fell off the ship, the same happening to the female enforcer.

Chief Beowulf jumped in front of them, transform into his strongest forms, as he started smashing the beam attack with his ice claws and then casting a tier 7 ice spell, [Frozen Stream]. Cold flux of energy began to manifest around the whole ship, deflecting all incoming shots and destroying a few that chased them.

"They are in trouble!" shouted Emery when he saw this, attracting the attention of everyone around him. "Shouldn't we help them?!"

However, Silva said a word that had the opposite meaning.

"Now is our chance. Fly up!"

Magus Jasper turned to Magus Leon when he heard this. Seeing his leader nod in agreement, he also nodded his head back.

In an instant, a strong turbulence could be felt. The ship suddenly made a sharp upward movement and shot towards the vast sky. Before the two ships were too far apart, a familiar voice was heard from the transmitter.

It was the voice of Chief Beowulf.

[Let's see each other again back home, good lu...]

The transmission however was cut in the middle,

Of the 22 triangular ships that continued to chase them, six had already been blown up leaving only 16 remaining. The sudden maneuvers successfully made only 4 ships still chasing after them, while the other 12 chased the medium ship where the chief was.

Jasper was still trying to do multiple maneuvers, however another round of destructive energy beams rained upon them again, and the Ouroboros ship once again got hit and shook violently.

"It will be harder if they chase us in space!"

Said Magus Leon, as he gathered his spirit power and opened the airlock door that would give him access to the top of the ship. Immediately after, his figure shot towards pursuing ships, using his spell-enhanced blade to cut them in half one by one.

The peak full moon magus enforcer barely made it back to the ship, Just in time for the ship to leave the atmosphere.
