Chapter 1854 30 VS 1

Emery's versatility was on full display as he deftly navigated the battlefield. His battle power alone was formidable, but his proficiency in various elements allowed him to adapt to a wide array of situations.

Despite the spatial distortion's limitations on his space magic, Emery found other ways to outmaneuver his opponents. He executed short-range [blink] spells with ease, allowing him to shift positions rapidly. He would also cast [void mist], enveloping the area in a thick, disorienting fog that impaired the dark elves' senses. Alternatively, he could employ [repulsion] to keep his enemies at bay.

Emery's strategy didn't revolve around causing harm; rather, he saved his energy to remain elusive. He darted around the celestial guardians, using them as shields, while letting the knights and archers guardians be the ones who deal the damage for him.

This tactic proved highly effective. Within just a few minutes inside the temple, five of the dark elves found themselves badly wounded due to Emery's cunning maneuvers.

Observing Emery's evasive tactics, the dark elf Khan decided it was time for a change in strategy. He ordered 20 of the dark elves to concentrate on clearing the temple's guardians, diverting their attention away from Emery. Meanwhile, the remaining 10 dark elves zeroed in on the elusive magus.

With the guardians now engaged on the other side of the room, Emery found himself in the crosshairs of the 10 dark elves. Fireballs and lightning bolts rained down upon him, leaving him with no choice but to employ [Aegis of void] to create a protective barrier against their onslaught.

In the midst of this magical barrage, the Khan transformed his body into molten lava, his body rippling with intense heat, Emery braced himself for the impending clash. The temple chamber was bathed in an eerie, reddish glow as the Khan closed the distance with incredible speed.

With a powerful lunge, the Khan's hand shot toward Emery's void shield, his fingers resembling fiery tendrils seeking to pierce through the magical barrier.

Emery struggled to maintain his composure, channeling all his concentration into reinforcing the shield with chaos energy, but it still cracked under immense pressure, small fractures spreading across its surface like intricate patterns.

Emery couldn't help but remark, "Impressive."

As Emery's void shield began to break apart, he knew he had to act swiftly to evade the Khan's relentless assault. With a quick burst of spatial magic, he employed [Repulsion] to forcefully push the Khan back. The sudden force propelled the Khan away from Emery, creating a brief respite for the agile magus.

However, the Khan was not deterred. He swiftly regrouped with his fellow dark elves, and together they initiated a highly coordinated bombardment on Emery. Fireballs and lightning bolts rained down on him, making it increasingly difficult for him to evade their attacks. With each strike, pain coursed through Emery's body, and his movements became restricted.

Simultaneously, the celestial guardians that had been protecting the temple were falling one by one, their forms crumbling and shattering as they succumbed to the onslaught. Half of the guardians had been destroyed, and Emery could see that things were becoming dire.

Realizing that he needed to change his tactics, Emery sheathed his sword and decided to take a risk.

As the group of dark elves charged toward him once more, Emery reached into his storage rings and retrieved a few of his [Cthulhu bombs]. With a quick, precise throw, he launched the bombs toward the approaching dark elves.

KABOOMMM!!!

The explosion created a chaotic scene. The dark elves were thrown apart, their formation disrupted by the blast, and thick smoke billowed around the area, obscuring their vision.

Before the disoriented dark elves could regroup and regain their bearings, Emery had already executed a [Blink]. In an instant, he closed the distance to a solitary dark elf who had been badly wounded by the explosion. With precision and swiftness, Emery thrust his [blade claw] deep into the dark elf's chest.

"Urgghh!!" The dark elf let out a pained cry, unable to break free from Emery's vice-like grip. Emery wasted no time, immediately invoking his?[Spirit Devor]The dark elf's spirit energy was forcibly drained into Emery, leaving the dark elf weakened and vulnerable.

Despite enduring lightning strikes and fireball impacts during the process, Emery held onto his [blade claw] with unwavering determination. When the Khan closed in on his position, Emery swiftly used [Blink] to teleport himself and the incapacitated dark elf away from the danger zone.

Once at a safe distance, Emery didn't waste any time. With a swift and precise motion, he split the dark elf's body apart, finishing him off completely. The dark elf's life force and energy were absorbed by Emery's [Spirit Devour], revitalizing him and accelerating his healing process.

"Who's next?" Emery's voice rang out confidently. With his unique ability to devour spirits, Emery had turned the tables on his opponents. He could incapacitate or eliminate them, effectively removing them from the fight, all while replenishing his own energy and vitality. It was a daring and unconventional tactic, but Emery had the power and skill to pull it off.

After 15 intense minutes of battle, the dark elves had managed to clear the temple of celestial guardians, but it came at a steep cost. Half of their forces were defeated, with another five dark elves left badly injured. The situation infuriated the Khan, who was growing increasingly annoyed by Emery's resilience.

Emery, despite his appearance of pain, continued to taunt them, "Your dark elves always provide the best energy."

Unable to tolerate the insult, the Khan made a decisive call for an all-out attack, determined to put an end to Emery's defiance once and for all.

As Emery prepared for the impending clash with the dark elves, he was taken by surprise when he sensed one of them suddenly appear behind him, completely undetected. Before he could react, the dark elf struck with a swift and deadly motion, plunging a dark dagger powerful enough that could pierce his shield and stab his back.

With a whisper the dark elf uttered, "We meet again, half-blood."
