Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-1891

?1891 Celestial Battle 2

The chaotic symphony of magic and might continued to unfold as the magus battled relentlessly against the overwhelming celestial onslaught. The formation at the center of the chamber became the focal point of defense, with 300 of the most skilled magus of the era working in unison. As the minutes passed, additional magus joined the fray, contributing their unique spells and abilities to the chaotic dance against the celestial threat. Shatter Cross, leading a small party of ten, joined the desperate defense, though regret was etched on his face as he comprehended the gravity of the situation.

Amidst the celestial constructs, which seemed to multiply incessantly, an additional wave of reinforcements arrived in the form of hundreds of spiders. These arachnids, emerging from the massive arachnid queen attached to the ceiling, added a new layer of complexity to the already chaotic battle. Their swift movements and venomous attacks posed a constant challenge for the magus attempting to hold their ground.

However, the true test came in the form of the other two colossal celestial creatures. One of them, a 50-meter-long manticore, dominated the airspace. Its razor-sharp claws tore through the ranks of magus, leaving devastation in its wake. From its gaping maw, torrents of golden fire erupted, creating an inferno that melted magus bodies under the scorching assault. The defenders faced an uphill battle as they grappled with the overwhelming destructive force of the manticore.

The second colossal celestial creature, a massive 100-meter-

long Basilisk, exerted its immense might as it advanced menacingly toward the chamber's center. With each thunderous stomp, the Basilisk unleashed a corrosive breath, creating a toxic golden mist that enveloped the battlefield. Magus who dared to confront the creature found themselves either killed or gravely wounded by the virulent mist.

The magnitude of these celestial entities surpassed anything that could be halted by mere handfuls of magus. It took hundreds of skilled spellcasters to repel such creatures when they previously defended the gates. The realization of the daunting task ahead echoed in the urgent words of Jai Strider as he took charge, quickly appointing battle positions to organize a more effective defense.

It seemed as if the colossal celestial creatures were attuned to the defenders' concerns. The manticore roared in the air, its ominous cry heralding a dive toward the center of the chamber, intensifying the urgency of the defenders.

Emery poised himself to intercept the oncoming manticore, but a figure in gleaming white armor swiftly engaged the flying creature, preventing it from reaching the chamber's center.

"Who is that?!!"

The magus in question was none other than Eesho Nephilim, adorned in the renowned white-gold [Divine God Armor]. This formidable full-body armor, a treasured possession among the Nephilim, significantly enhanced Eesho's abilities. Six golden wings adorned his back, transforming him into a majestic figure resembling an angel.

Utilizing the extraordinary capabilities of his Divine God Armor, Eesho soared gracefully after the manticore. Employing his [Soaring Shuttle], he managed to impede the creature's flight temporarily. The defenders watched in awe as Eesho, despite his valiant efforts, struggled to completely restrain the colossal manticore. The creature's speed proved challenging for others who attempted to join the pursuit.

Just as it seemed Eesho might succumb to the overwhelming force of the manticore, a surprising turn of events unfolded. A second figure emerged, also donned in white-gold armor with radiant wings—a female this time. It was none other than Jinkan Nephilim herself. The two Nephilim, in perfect synchronization, skillfully cooperated to handle the threat posed by the manticore, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the dire circumstances.

The colossal Basilisk, its gargantuan form relentlessly stomping toward the chamber's center, proved to be an indomitable force. Imperium cannons roared, and arcane spells crackled through the air, but the beast pressed on with an almost supernatural resilience. Roland XIII, leading the Arcane magus, coordinated their efforts, hoping to find a weakness in the Basilisk's seemingly impenetrable defenses.

Meanwhile, Zetto, the Titan Bloodlone, unleashed his formidable strength, utilizing his unique ability to enlarge his body threefold. A half-goat blood magus, harnessing the power of transformation, joined forces with Zetto, contributing to the desperate struggle against the approaching menace. Golems, summoned by skilled magus, marched alongside the Titan Bloodlone, seeking to impede the Basilisk's relentless advance.

Despite their combined efforts, the Basilisk proved to be an unyielding adversary. The toxic cloud it emitted, combined with its devastating [Divine Pulse] attacks, wreaked havoc among the defenders. As the minutes passed, the defenders fought valiantly, each strike against the Basilisk accompanied by the ominous realization that time was running out.

In the midst of the chaos, the chamber echoed with the sounds of battle, magus coordinating their attacks, the roars of the Basilisk, and the desperate cries of those caught in its path. The defenders faced an insurmountable challenge, and the Basilisk, undeterred, continued its inexorable approach toward the vulnerable center of the chamber.

"It's getting closer!" cried out a voice, the urgency palpable as the defenders strained against the overwhelming force of the colossal Basilisk. The situation became increasingly dire, and a sense of desperation hung heavy in the air.

In the midst of the escalating chaos, Emery made a strategic decision. Swiftly, he return his swords into spatial space and retrieved a unique asset from his arsenal — his plant creatures. Twik, along with the five Chizpur brothers, had undergone significant upgrades since absorbing the celestial shard. Twik, in particular, was now brimming with an immense amount of light energy.

"Guys!! are you ready!?

"Kuang! Ku! Ku!",

United, all six plant creatures positioned themselves beside Emery. Seizing the opportune moment, Emery initiated the foundational technique, [One Mind], and subsequently unleashed [Plant Mastery - Fusion]. This time, the fusion extended beyond Twik alone; all six plants amalgamated with Emery, resulting in a colossal magus clad in formidable plant armor.

As the chamber quivered under the weight of the approaching Basilisk, Emery braced himself to confront the formidable adversary with his enhanced strength and newfound capabilities.
