Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-595

With the aid of his enhanced [Nature's Blessing] Emery was able to dislodge the blockage preventing her from regaining consciousness. He shook her body and called out.

"Morgana!"

He shouted as loud as he could, hoping the girl would somehow hear it from behind the veil of her own mind. However, the girl showed no sign of stirring. There was no reaction whatsoever.

Emery checked on her body with the aid of the healing vines, making sure nothing else was out of place. Everything was fine, yet she did not move at all.

He did another check and realized In a normal human brain, there should usually be a minimum activity, at least to control the basic reflexes. But in hers, there was none.

Even though the blockage has been dislodged, whatever part of it hurt her had already affected her brain. Or at least, that was the only hypothesis Emery could come up with. After all, Emery was first and foremost a potion master, not a medicine specialist with real knowledge.

Once again, he stood next to the girl and stared at her with a helpless gaze. There were only 4 days left. He had worked hard in the last 9 months, but the girl showed no signs of improvement, let alone stir even slightly.

Stage 5 nature core was the only thing he could depend on for hopes of her recovery, and now it had failed too. Emery had no other means to help her. At least, there was no way he could procure something to help her within the span of four days.

Emery held the girl's hand, intertwining his fingers with hers and said, his words full of regret and pain.

"I am sorry, I have failed you again… it appears I keep breaking my promises … I am so sorry…"

Emery took a seat next to Gaia and started using his [Nature's Grasp]. Roots and vines from the ground moved and restrained his body, before showering him with motes of green energy that was quickly absorbed by his skin.

With his new stage 5 nature core, his Nature's Grasp ability could quickly recover the energy he spent moments ago with the aid of the ambient natural energy in the air. As such, there was no need to worry too much about energy, as long as he was not too tired or wounded to recover it afterwards.

Afterwards, he closed his eyes and used his [Nature Sense] together with spirit reading. With the two techniques working together, Emery was able to feel every inch of the Forbidden Forest. Even the tiniest movements from the smallest creatures did not escape his notice.

As he reached the new stage, his spirit reading ability has been multiplied yet again. Now, Emery could sense the presence of anything and feel any place as far as 100 miles all around him, enough to reach halfway to Camelot City.

As he thought about Camelot, he realized something. There was actually a quickly way to increase his power.

"Why didn't I think about that before!"

Emery quickly stood up, opened his [Spatial Gate] and arrived in front of Camelot's gates.

As soon as he arrived, he used his spirit reading to look for one certain person: Arthur Pendragon. He found the king sitting in a room of the Camelot Castle, surrounded by several knights.

Emery opened another spatial gate and arrived out of thin air right in the middle of the room.

With his sudden arrival out of thin air, the knights surrounding Arthur stood up, alarmed by his presence.

In contrast to their wariness, however, Arthur looked at him in elation and shouted. "Merlin!"

As soon as he saw Merlin, Arthur ran towards him and gave him a warm hug.

"My friend! You finally came."

Gaious, who stood next to the king, was also smiling at Emery's arrival, and for once, Emery was relieved Gwen was not standing among them.

"Did you just come out from training? How powerful you must be now… " Arthur mused, while looking at him from top to bottom.

On one hand, Emery was glad for the warm treatment, but on the other hand, he was pressed for time. However before he could say a word, Arthur suddenly said

"Merlin, How is Morgana? Is she alright?"

Emery was taken back surprised by Arthur's question and said.

"Actually that is why I am here, I came to borrow the sword... it might help her" Emery said.

The one thing he stupidly did not think before was using the Divine Sword Excalibur as a power enhancer. The sword able to boost 200 spirit force during his last fight with the Nephilim Hades, with that much added power Emery may have some hope in restoring Morgana's consciousness.

Hearing Emery's question, Arthur was stunned for a second but he gave his answer with no trace of hesitation in his voice. "Yes, of course"

But, Arthur quickly added. "Now that you are here, I actually wanted to show you something. The sword is there as well… come, walk with me."

Arthur led him towards the familiar hallways leading to the throne room. As they walked together, Emery noticed there were a few changes to the interior, some of the rooms were changed as well. Even the usual red and gold banner of Logress had been changed into blue and silver; the symbol embroidered on them had been slightly tweaked too.

When they reached the throne room, Emery saw the throne was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a large round table with a dozen seats surrounding it, and each seat except one had a knight standing in front of it.

There were a few friendly faces among them; Sir Yvain, Sir Gawain, Sir Galahad, Sir Bor, Sir Dagonet, Sir Percival. And 4 new young knights one of them was Sir Tristan, the young archer he beat in the competition.

All of them have placed their swords on the round table, their tip pointing towards the center.

As Emery and Arthur entered the room, the knights all turned around to face them and gave them a salute by knocking their blades' handles on the stone table.

"Merlin, you might not yet have heard about it, but many things have changed since the end of the battle 9 months ago…"

"Yes, I can see that..." Emery answered, implicitly asking Arthur to continue.

"In short, the seven kingdoms of Briton are no more. Now, there is only Brittania and us, the Knights of the round table."
