Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-1203

The sudden, unexpected activation of the stargate certainly took the dark elves within the area by surprise. They all ceased their movements for a moment, looking at each other with apparent bewilderment in their eyes.

The face of the female magus commander who was still hovering in the air turned into that of annoyance seeing the unforeseen development. A deep frown was seen on her face.

"Fools! This could ruin everything!"

As the commander of an elven fleet, the female magus quickly realized that the humans had tinkered with the stargate, causing it to form a portal that connected with somewhere else. This could mean that reinforcements from the human side could be coming at any moment now.

Seeing the situation, the Half Moon magus next to her quickly said, "Should we destroy the gate, Lord Commander?"

Alas, his suggestion only earned him a scoff from his beautiful superior.

"Huh?! Did you leave your brain somewhere? We are currently behind the enemy lines; destroying the stargate would do nothing but compromise and endanger us. No, what we need to do is to regain control of the gate."

Saying those words, the female magus swiftly dispatched one of her men, entering the facility and accomplishing the task. She also sent another to return to the ship, giving an order to attack anything that came through the portal.

After delegating her subordinates, she then descended to the ground closing in on the wolf beast that had been shackled with chains. As the beast was still struggling furiously trying its best to break free, sweat covered the bodies of the six magus holding each end of the chains.

Emery, who was watching everything from within the rampaging beast, felt a sensation of relief welling up in his mind knowing that Klea was able to escape from this planet.

He can now start worrying about what would happen to him next, with the female magus landed just a few steps in front of him.

Staring down at the rampaging beast, the female magus said, "You must have a Rank 7 or Rank 8 beast bloodline, aren't you..? You also possess the devour power… Such a gift…" A cruel glint flashed across her eyes as her voice grew cold. "Unfortunately, you are going to die now!"

She then raised her right hand whereupon a fire with an ominous dark color suddenly appeared and blazed fiercely. It quickly landed on the wolf beast, slithered all over and swallowed it in its scorching heat.

The sound of the fire burning flesh and its distinctive smell could be smelled in the air, followed by a deafening howl of extreme pain.

The beast's miserable reaction was not completely unwarranted. The flame that the female magus conjured originated from a Tier 7 spell; it was probably the most intense and powerful flame it had ever experienced.

Howwwwll!!!

The wolf roared, and miraculously Emery could feel the searing sensation lessened as some of the dark flames had been reactively devoured by the beast.

The beast became even more ferocious in its struggle. All six chains shackling its body trembled as it slowly pulled them, surprising the female magus as well as the other six magus.

"Haha, you have my compliment for struggling this long. But it's all over now!"

This time, instead of only one, the female magus employed both of her hands to cast the Tier 7 spell. As a result, the surrounding temperature increased dramatically as the two flames merged with each other amplifying their lethality.

It was something far above what Emery's current power was able to handle.

The raging flames swiftly engulfed his entire body, some of them seeped through his skin to burn him from both inside and outside. If it was not because of his thick transformed body and his innate recovery ability, Emery would have already turned into a pile of ashes at this point.

In just seconds, the beast's power seemed to be drawn back, and gradually the wolf beast returned to its human appearance. Even so, instead of stopping, the female magus maintained her spell and even seemed to be strengthening it further. It seemed she really intended to turn Emery into dust.

An indifferent look was in her eyes as she stared at the burning body that was squirming back and forth.

"Arghhhhh!!"

On the other side of the galaxy.

The Headmaster Delbrand has stood on the academy's dock for hours, watching the acolytes return from their missions.

"Just go back and wait in your office already!" said the dark-skinned grand magus enforcer who had accompanied the man from the start.

Glancing at the other party, the headmaster pondered for a moment before nodding his head. After welcoming the next group of acolytes who got off the ship, he turned around and returned as advised.

It was at this time that the two of them saw a commotion within the academy's main portal gate.

Sensing that something was amiss, Delbrand immediately approached the nearest staff. As someone who was assigned to protect the academy, Griffith quickly followed suit.

"What happened?" asked the Magister,

"Magister, We have an incoming jump from an unidentified place."

In a situation like this, it was only normal for the people overseeing the place to stop and cancel the jump. However, the ongoing commotion would have meant that this matter was something out of ordinary.

The two of them looked at each other, wondering what it could be. Fortunately, their questions were quickly answered by the staff's words.

"Magister, the person who came has a marking of our academy student, a female from the Elite class. The problem is she's traveling with someone who possesses an elf signature."

The standard response would naturally be to reject and force the jump to return whence it came from, and that was exactly what the staff was about to do when Headmaster Delbrand suddenly spoke.

"Let them come through!"

Despite being confused, the staff didn't ask any questions and quickly did what was asked. Soon enough the two people appeared, and before the dark elf magus realized where he had arrived, Grand Magus Griffith swiftly took action, apprehending the other party with a single spell.

As for the female acolyte, after a brief period of disorientation, an excited expression appeared on her face as her eyes swept around. She immediately ran towards the nearby Headmaster Delbrand and grabbed the latter's sleeve while pleading.

"Headmaster, please help! My friends are in grave danger!"

Recalling the recent report about the Nexus planet's elf invasion, Delbrand quickly pieced the two together and his expression turned ugly. Seeing that he was still motionless, the girl pleaded once more.

"Please, Headmaster! Before the gate closes!"

However, before the Headmaster could answer, Magister Griffith who was in charge of the Magus Academy's security voiced his disapproval.

"No, I won't allow that! There is a protocol prepared for this kind of thing. We cannot send people without a clear understanding of the situation. As far as we know, it could be a trap set by the elves."

A look of despair appeared on the girl's face when she heard the master's words. It only got even worse when she saw the looks everyone around was giving her. Turning to the only hope in her eyes, she quickly said.

"No, no... Headmaster, it's the truth... Please."

Klea kept looking back at the portal as she said those words. She looked completely distraught as she really worried it would disappear. Her face paled when she thought of leaving Emery and the others behind. It was at this time that Delbrand approached and said to the girl.

"Let's go, lead the way," the Headmaster said.

"Delbrand, are you mad!? You are the headmaster! You can't go!"

The headmaster glanced at the magister for a second before saying,

"I haven't had my leave for years. Let me just go take a few strolls."
