Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-1146-30041322

Emery, Julian, and the old marshall dashed through the underground cave tunnel, leaving Thrax having fun alone with the mechanical soldiers. However, that didn't mean their progress was not without obstacles. Along the way, the three of them fought dozens of saint-level warriors that stood in their path.

A barrage of laser beam attacks was shot at them, but thanks to Julian, who charged in the front with his shield, those attacks were unable to deal any damage to the group. Emery, who took cover behind Julian, was responsible for counter attacking the shot when the opportunity arose.

[Light Missile]

Emery had been trying to get used to casting a spell through an artifact, hence why he had been using the magic staff since he fought in this place. Unfortunately, even with his powerful spirit core, the tier 2 light spells were not effective enough to blast through the [Solar Armor] these rebels were wearing.

He needed to cast multiple missiles in succession to handle the group of rebels and it took him two or three hits before he could break through the protection those armor offered and heavily wound the rebel warriors.

On the other hand, the old marshall, who was just a saint level, could break through and send each of the rebels flying through the air with only one blast of his unique, distinct-looking [Solar Rifle].

"Yes, my rifle here was custom made for me," said the marshall as he proudly showed the long barrel rifle that unfortunately could shoot only one shot every few seconds.

Before long, they managed to deal with the rebel warriors in the tunnel and quickly resumed their chase. They soon arrived at another large room and Emery could quickly sense three powerful figures were waiting for them.

Three males rank 9 mages, all in the middle stage with 4 to 6 pillars formed.

"Stop right there!" one of them shouted to stop Emery and his company's steps.

Right after, firewalls were created surrounding them blocking their way

"You will have to fight us, the three flaming brothers, if you want to meet our boss!"

"That's right, first brother!"

"I am with you, third brother!"

These three figures, although they did not look identical at all, acted and spoke in similar manner.

Though the three mage figures stood in their way, Emery, Julian, didn't see this as a big problem at all. Emery only heaved a sigh and turned to Julian saying, "What do you want to do?"

After thinking for a moment, the Roman said, "You handle these three yahoos, we two will chase after their leader."

Hearing the suggestion, Emery couldn't help but be worried, as it meant Julian would be facing a magus opponent.

"Are you sure?" he asked with a worried look on his face.

Julian gave a convincing smile, "It's not only you who has improved, you know... but if you are really worried, deal with them quickly and come help."

Thinking it made sense, Emery nodded in agreement, "Alright."

The three brothers who were listening to their conversation became annoyed that Emery and Julian were talking as if they weren't in the room with them.

"Did you hear that?! They are talking as if we are nothing, first brother!"

"Second brother, they are calling us yahoos! How dare they!"

"My two brothers, stop talking! They are running already!"

"What!"

Before they could realize it, Julian and the old marshall had already left the room toward one tunnel where their leader was.

Each of the three brothers quickly casted fire spells toward the escaping Julian and Shane. However, a wall of dark green stones suddenly raised up from the ground blocking all of the attacks.

The fireball bombardment eventually managed to destroy the wall, but by then, the two had already gone.

"What the fuck! Boss gonna get mad!"

"First brother, that's an earth spell!"

"Yes, third brother. This one knows the earth spell too!"

"Doesn't matter, kill him fast and bring his charred body to the boss!"

"Alright, brother."

A fourth voice chimed into the conversation of three. "Alright brother one, two, and three, come give me your best attack!" Emery challenged the three.

"Huh! Arrogant! Let's go, brother, use attack formation number three!" shouted one of the fire brothers.

Emery saw one swiftly channeling one powerful ball of fire with both hands, while two used buffs that made their bodies engulfed in blazing flames – it's the [Fire Aura] spell that increased battle power, mostly agility.

Not willing to accept their attacks passively, Emery quickly casted [Jade Root] trying to entangle them three. Unfortunately, the two with enhanced speed were able to dodge his attack, while the third one had finished his spell and casted a powerful tier 5 spell [Fire Wave].

Emery quickly moved to avoid the fire blast, by then, however, the spell managed to burn his roots to crisp.

"That's quite amazing," commented Emery casually.

When Emery was amazed by the destructive wave of flames, one of them took a chance to attack with both hands enhanced with a fire spell [Fire Fist], a skill that combined martial art and fire element.

The flame-cladded figure attacked pretty fast, yet, although it had an enhanced speed, it was still barely enough to hit Emery. However, the other party proved to be tenacious as he relentlessly continued his attacks.

To Emery's surprise, suddenly both of his arms were entangled by a burning chain, [Fire Chain] that came from behind.

"Hahaha! We got you!" one of the brothers exclaimed and laughed proudly.

All the series of attacks launched by the three fire brothers actually had their respective purposes. The first spell aimed to render his sights, the second attack was a distraction and the third was the real intention, to hold him down.

By this time, the first attacker already casted another [Fire Chain] to entangle Emery's body. Emery was trapped as he didn't expect the fire brothers had planned this to get him.

"We've got you!"

"Attack formation three is a success!"

"Hahaha, a range caster like you, once captured, will fall to our mercy!"

Although it was unexpected, Emery was amused by the three and wished to play with them more. However, he was in a hurry.

When the martial artist threw his powerful fist on the chained-up target, Emery said, "Who said I am a ranged caster." With a smile, Emery activated his bloodline power.

[Night Transformation]

The fire fist hit Emery's chest in the midst of his transformation, but the man's face changed as he felt his fist hitting a strong metal. All three brothers were quickly shocked as they saw his opponent's body suddenly enlarge and break their chains apart like clay.

Howwllll!

"No...no! Brother... Help!"

"Mama!"
