Earth's Greatest Magus
chapter-873

"Follow me, young acolyte." The grand magus Yvere said.

Even though Emery had no idea why the grand magus wanted to speak with him personally, he followed him without a second thought.

With gentle guidance, the grand magus led him to one part of Elder's respite place, a garden outside that received a lot of natural light and air.

In the next moment, he walked towards one corner and came to a complete halt right in front of a certain type of flower with some purple petals. The grand magus looked at Emery, while pointing to two saplings among them.

"Can you grow the sapling with your best spell?" Asked the grand magus. Emery nodded and immediately proceeded to do what was asked.

He had the [Acell growth] spell to grow the sapling, but if he wanted to give his best, that would be the [Photosynthesis] spell. He just needed to control the spell, not to make drastic changes to its cell. Right after, the sapling grew to be 2 meters tall.

The grand magus smiled when he observed this.

"That is an interesting spell indeed."

Seconds later, he told Emery to try to cast the spell one more time to a different sapling. Following that, Emery began to grow the sapling in a similar way as he had done previously.

This time, on the other hand, as soon as Emery's spell entered the plant's body, the grand magus suddenly raised his finger and channeled his own spell. Emery was startled to notice another energy entering the plant at the same moment.

It amazed him to discover that after the magus casted his spell on the sapling, not only the plant grew to 3 meters, but the plant's green leaves and purple petals were considerably more vibrant as well.

Emery was surprised by how different the two plants grew. It looked different, and it felt different.

In a way, Emery also felt a different kind of nature spell from the grand magus, yet he was incapable of putting his mind to it.

As if the grand magus could read the confusion on Emery's face, he calmly gave him enlightenment by saying, "I spray a little Law of Light into it."

It should come as no surprise Emery found it hard to understand since he had no affinity for light elements.

The grand magus proceeded to ask another question to Emery, which made him a little taken aback.

He pointed at Twik who was still attached to his arm, "This little fella, what are you feeding him?"

"Feeding?" Emery appeared to be perplexed by the question. To be completely honest, he had never thought about feeding them. He was well aware they were after all plants, but after going through the metamorphosing process, they certainly were no longer considered plants.

After realizing what he had been thinking all along was wrong, Emery quickly became anxious with an image of bad parents, who did not feed their babies.

Seeing Emery's reaction, the grand magus chuckled a little and went on to say, "Every plant needs good fertile soil, enough water and an abundance of light, which in most cases is sunlight."

"Although this is no longer a normal plant, all these elements are necessary for its health and clearly what this fella misses is the essence of light."

The grand magus was fascinated when he fixed his gaze on Twik. He then continued to say,

"This little fella must be coming from a planet or a place that lacks light energy or genuine sunlight, doesn't he?"

Hearing this, Emery took a moment to realize the Alfa Station did not actually have real sunlight, but rather just an artificial one. He then nodded to confirm the grand magus's guess was right.

In light of that fact, the grand magus then added, "Young acolyte, I can tell from the way you raised this little fella that your Nature Magic is really lacking in light element. Instead, it is influenced by much negative energy."

The grand magus told him that, just like the plant, a magus of nature needed to be filled with enough positive light energy. The grand magus advised him to seek a place or other sources that had a high concentration of light energy. It was in the hope to balance the strong dark energy within him. The grand magus believed this was the most effective way to his current condition.

"You shall create a much better balance by then and this little fella will certainly be in better health as a result," the grand magus added.

Emery paid close attention to the grand magus's words and took them seriously. Even if it was such a simple demonstration, it provided answers to a lot of his questions. For that, Emery expressed sincere gratitude to the grand magus, who was handing Twik back to him.

For a moment there, Emery and the grand magus had connected through Twik, and Emery suddenly felt energy channeled into his body that refreshed him deeply.

The grand magus smiled, "I understand now… It's your bloodline that made such a thing possible. Interesting…" The grand magus patted Twik once again. "Take good care of him, will you?" The grand magus said; Emery could only respond with a nod.

That was the last word the grand magus said, before leaving Emery alone in the garden thinking.

After the conversation he had with the grand magus, Emery had a much deeper understanding of the nature elements within himself. It all came back to his fey bloodline. Emery now believed the key to his Magus advancement was not just from Khaos itself, but definitely from Gaia as well.

Before he left, Emery stared at the little wood creature, who was now swirling on his arm.

"I am sorry little guy, I hope you're ok now."

"Kuang kuuu kuu."

There was a slight emotion of happiness that came from the little creature which certainly made Emery feel relieved.

"Great! Can you enter the spatial space now, to join the other?"

"Kuu kuu kuu kuang."

Emery didn't need to understand what it meant, as Twik had already attached itself again to his arm, turning into some kind of wooden armguard.

With only a little over an hour left before the mid-test meeting, Emery made the decision to quickly dash toward Golden city and straight into the Sisters of Faith temple, where he came to make his purchase.

His decision on the spells was solidified after the two visits and this time Emery made the following choices with confidence:

Rank C spells: [Regrow Limb], [Rejuvenating Mushroom], [Slipstream] and [Undermaster].

Rank B spells: [Dark Void] and [Strength Sap].

Rank A spells: [Mineralized Warrior] and Divine spell [Aegis of Void].

All eight spells were purchased for a total of [612,000].

With the combination of contribution points and spirit stones of [723,250], Emery ended up with only [111,250] left.

After purchasing the spells, he knew he needed more offensive spells. Emery then decided to spend the rest of it on the three Rank B offensive spells: [Dark Tide], [Ash Blast], and [Seed Bomb], which cost a total of[105,500] leaving him with only [5,750].

Every purchase was made with the intention that he would improve his understanding of all 4 elements within himself and prepare to comprehend the Law of Nature, Space, and maybe, Devour.

His collective buy did cost him all of his savings. Seeing such little spirit stones and zero contribution points left, Emery was motivated to gain more contribution points at the mid-test. He left the temple with 11 new spells and was actually a little late for the mid-test meeting at the Harlight family designated location.
