Chapter 1818 Teams
Emery's performance during the challenge had not only defied expectations but also left everyone in awe. His power and prowess far exceeded that of any other magus under 30 years of age, a fact that was not lost on the expedition commander.
Once the test was concluded, the scarred man, Neo, approached Emery with a serious and appraising gaze. "I am Neo," he stated, "welcome to the team. I expect great things from you."
Emery responded with the same friendly courtesy, genuinely impressed with Neo's skill and strength.
Noticing the positive interaction, Jinkan stepped in and added, "Great, now that everyone is here, we can finally begin training properly."Over the course of the next day and the one that followed, while Emery's friends were putting forth their best efforts to secure a place in the main team, Emery was undergoing intensive training with the special team, preparing for the upcoming expedition.
In the celestial ruins, the Avalonian construct and the drones turned out to be among the least problematic obstacles. Inside the ruins lay an array of deadly traps and intricate defense systems that could spell doom for any magus who triggered them. Furthermore, as the magus ventured deeper into the ruins, they would encounter even more potent adversaries.
One of the most feared opponents was the Order of the Avalon, a guardian of the Celestial Ruins. These constructs were created to near perfection in terms of humanoid design, standing at an imposing three meters in height. Forged from tier-5 Avalonian steel, they possessed the power of a Halfmoon magus. The Order was divided into six types: Knights, Archers, Spearmen, Warriors, Wizards, and Priestesses.
As Emery and his fellow trainees soon discovered, their training room had its limitations. While they could only create 80% projections accuracy of the constructs, they were still faced with an arduous challenge. These powerful adversaries were incredibly difficult to defeat, especially when they attacked in groups. The journey into the celestial ruins was bound to be filled with peril, with each layer harboring its own unique dangers and mysteries.
Emery's training with his new team, consisting of Neo, Eeshoo, Mahinder, and Jinkan, was intense and comprehensive. They focused on developing strategies and techniques to effectively deal with each type of construct and adversary they might encounter in the celestial ruins. Emery and Mahinder took on the roles of the powerful frontline, utilizing explosive close-range attacks and defense. Eeshoo assumed the backline position, relying on ranged attacks and spells. Jinkan played a crucial support role with her mastery of multiple elements and various artifacts. Neo, positioned announced.

In addition to battle training, the team delved into the intricacies of the celestial ruins by studying the vast database maintained by the Nephilim faction. This database included documented information from hundreds of previous expeditions into the ruins. Although the ruins were akin to an ever-changing puzzle, the Nephilim's extensive knowledge and resources enabled them to identify recurring patterns and develop strategies to navigate them.As the third day of training came to an end, the results of Emery's friends' performance in their respective element teams were announced.
