Earth's Greatest Magus
Earth's Greatest Magus - Chapter 1618: Reunion

Even with his entire body covered in thick armor, Emery didn't even need a second to recognize who the man was when he saw his eyes.

He was supposedly someone he knew very well. One of his friends from Earth, Thrax.

A wave of memories flashed through his mind, about the person standing in front of him, and his heart knew that he was someone he dearly missed.

"I know you!" exclaimed the man with the glaive as he pointed his finger towards Emery, surprising everyone.

That of course quickly confused Emery as he was currently in a pirate disguise. But then, he quickly realized that Thrax was actually pointing at Armand who was hanging on his shoulder.

Unfortunately, the impression the Nephilim noble had on the man was far from positive. Because of that, he once again brought up his glaive, brandishing it towards them while saying, "Who are you people?!"

"Tell me now!" Thrax said fiercely, ready to launch forward at a moment's notice.

This situation could easily be resolved if Emery revealed his identity. However, he had absolutely no plans to do so in front of this many people so he quickly said, "We are friends of Terra…"

But before he could explain, a loud bang suddenly sounded in the air. His face immediately changed when he realized that it was coming from the direction of the Terra Palace.

Realizing that something must have happened in the battle there, Emery said, "I'll explain later."

He quickly left the injured Armand in the care of Tessa as he darted away towards the palace in the distance, not forgetting to take his captive with him. Seeing this, Thrax also made his move, staying close behind him to make sure that Emery was really not an enemy.

It didn't take long for Emery to reach his destination with his speed and upon arriving, he was quickly surprised to find an intense battle between a man and a massive wolf beast.

By taking a quick look at the situation, it seemed that the battle between the two was in a deadlock. Both man and wolf were riddled with wounds, breathing heavily from the intense fight. Meanwhile, the others – Tatyana, Andrei, and Aiko – were seen standing on the sideline unable to join the fight.

As for Emery, now that he was here and seeing that nothing precarious, he couldn't help but be interested to see the performance of Morgana's new form, which should be something that she obtained with her Rank 6 bloodline breakthrough, the Night Demon.

Although it appears this one was not comparable to Cyrus, Seeing Morgana able to go toe to toe with a Full Moon magus really filled him with pride.

Unfortunately, he was broken out of his reverie when the exasperated Cyrus suddenly shouted.

"Zachary, you are our last hope! Kill that…!"

Before the Raven faction master could finish his words, Emery punched him in the stomach, causing him to groan in pain. "Shut up! Do not disturb them!"

Emery's actions seem to have left an impression on Thrax. Not only that, now that he knew which side the chained man was on, he walked up to Cyrus and threw another punch at him.

"Urghh!!"

After doing so, he casually went next to Emery and said, "So which one do you think will win?"

"The wolf of course," answered Emery without even the slightest hesitation.

It went without saying that Emery would always root for his own pack, let alone Morgana who was his Luna Wolf. But even though he really wished she could win on her own, he could tell that she was already at the end of her strength.

The same thing seemed to be noticed by the Immortal Gladiator as well.

"I think the wolf will lose... We should help now."

However, just as he was about to move, Emery stopped him, which earned him a confused look from the former.

"Wait. Give her a little more time."

Saying those words, Emery activated his transformation ability, his figure gradually changing into his silvery wolf form once again. But contrary to expectations, he didn't move in to help the wolf beast, instead he let out a long howl.

HOWWLLLL

The howl that echoed in the air managed to awaken the dark wolf's spirit as it quickly rose back up for another round. Along with it was a shared innate skill [Battle Roar] and [Paragon's Blessing] which increased the wolf's battle power by 70 points in total.

The enhancement was apparently what she needed to cross the gap against the Full Moon magus' strength.

She managed to evade the magus lightning maces and when she found the chance, she leaped up and tackled the man to the ground, this time she forcefully kept her opponent's body restrained with her claws. Her muzzle then shot forward as it opened wide, her fangs tearing through the flesh of his neck.

"AARGGHH!! Get the fucking off me you BEAST!!"

The magus named Zachary used the last of his strength to fight back, blasting out another lightning spell after another. However, the wolf beast held on and continued to ravage the man with ferocity. Eventually, there was the distinct sound of bones cracking, followed by a snap at the man's neck.

HOWLLLLL

The battle was over and followed by an escaping spirit soul that was quickly caught by Aiko.

Such a sight seemed to have plunged the Raven faction master into desperation, as he immediately tried to break free from his shackles. Unfortunately, his actions only resulted in another beating, which was dealt by both Emery and Thrax.

"I think I like you. Tell me your name?" said the Immortal Gladiator

Since no one was really around and paying attention, Emery responded, "My name is Emery."

"...."

Thrax was baffled and his initial response was "You kidding me… how did you become this ugly"

####

Now that the crisis was over, the previous horrific battle quickly turned into a pleasant reunion. As the portal gate's control panel was destroyed and would need time to be repaired, all of the Raven faction captives were kept in Terra Palace.

Of course, the palace also welcomed the distinguished guests they didn't expect to have.

Tessa Karat expressed her gratitude to Terra's kingdom and promised to investigate the matter between the two kingdoms. She was determined to raze the entire Raven faction to the ground.

As for Emery, he took the time to hang out with his old friend from Earth.

"Tell me how are you?"

"No, no.. let's start with how strong you are now!" said Thrax as he brandished his glaives.
