Earth's Greatest Magus
Earth's Greatest Magus - Chapter 1875: Chaos

Navigating through the tumultuous energy fluctuations in the area, Emery's portal abilities proved to be less effective, prompting the coalition to rely on full-speed flight to reach their destination. Uria Alabaster assumed the lead, utilizing his spirit reading skills along with Jinkan's guidance to pinpoint the location of the battle.

After an intense five-minute journey, they arrived at the scene, only to be confronted with a grim reality that exceeded their worst expectations.

It wasn't merely a confrontation involving the Azazel Nephilim, as they had initially assumed. Instead, they beheld a chaotic battleground where more than a thousand magus were embroiled in a desperate struggle. Approximately one-third of them were human, locked in a life-and-death combat against a formidable assembly of elves, predominantly dark elves. Amidst this chaotic clash, hundreds of celestial beings added another layer of danger and complexity to the situation.

The shocking scene left the members of the coalition bewildered and deeply concerned. Jinkan vocalized the question that echoed in all of their minds, "What is going on here?"

As their large group arrived, they were met by several human magus who flew toward them in a state of panic. Linghao, leading what remained of his magus, approached Jinkan with urgency in his voice. "Sister Jinkan!! Those elves are going nuts! The treaty is over! This is war!!"

Jinkan, however, didn't rush into action immediately. Instead, she chose to wait for the rest of her coalition to arrive while carefully observing the unfolding situation.

Before them was an intense and chaotic battle, pitting humans against elves, with the celestial in between. Emery could discern that aside from the Azazel Nephilim, there were also Imperium Techno Magus and some Oculus dark Magus present, albeit in smaller numbers. Despite being outnumbered, these factions managed to hold their ground against the elves.

Above the battlefield hung a portal, which Emery deduced was likely the entrance to a light crossover. However, what caught his attention even more was the massive crack in the structure beneath them, leading to a gaping hole that extended deep into the celestial ruins. Surrounding the hole were dozens of vigilant elves, fighting against hundreds of celestial drones descended upon them. It was evident that something far more significant than the accumulation of points was transpiring in this tumultuous battleground.

Linghao, impatient and agitated, urged Jinkan to take action immediately. "What are you waiting for Sister!! Help me kill those elven bastards!!"

Jinkan, however, remained composed and asked for more information. "Not so fast. Tell me how the battle started. How could the agreement break? Who started it?"

Linghao's frustration was evident. "What the hell, Jinkan!! What does it matter!! The battle has started. Are you not going to help?"

Realizing that her stepbrother most likely did not have the answers she sought, Jinkan decided to dash toward where Prince Liam was located to both offer assistance and gain a clear understanding of the situation. "Let's go."

By this time, more elven magus were arriving on the scene, and simultaneously, Olivier Arkaland and the rest of the 100 magus under his command joined the fray. The battlefield grew even larger as tensions escalated.

As Emery and the others entered the chaotic battlefield, the air was filled with the explosive power of spells and the clashes of magus. It was a chaotic scene of destruction, with powerful spells flying through the air and magus from both sides engaged in fierce combat.

Emery observed the battle unfolding before him, noticing curses being hurled between the two factions as they fought relentlessly to kill one another. The death toll continued to rise as magus, both human and elf, fell into the relentless conflict.

Amidst the chaos, Emery's attention was drawn to a specific group. Liam Nephilim, the Nephilim golden prince, third in line to the Nephilim throne, was fully surrounded by a formidable contingent of 20 half-moon elite guards, each a formidable force in their own right. And there, by Liam's side, was Noel Nephilim, the Fate Child, who seemed to be responsible for much of the devastation being wrought by their faction.

Jinkan approached Liam with a mix of concern and frustration in her voice as she shouted, "Liam, what is going on?!!"

Liam, seemingly unfazed by the chaos around him, responded calmly, "They broke the cease agreement, they attacked the Oculus magus, and many died in their betrayal."

Jinkan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why?!"

The Nephilim prince pointed towards the gaping hole in the structure below and explained, "The elves are trying to do something big. Hundreds of them have entered that hole, and they're killing any human who tries to follow!"

After saying this, Liam looked at Emery and said, "You!! You're that space kid, aren't you? Go past them and find out what they're doing!"

Emery, slightly irritated by being given an order by someone with whom he didnt have any relation, glanced at Jinkan, waiting for her response. Jinkan, however, seemed hesitant. Liam, sensing the urgency of the situation, added, "Jinkan, you know what the faction wants. You better send your mercenaries down there, now!"

As they conversed, the structure beneath them started to shake once again, intensifying the sense of urgency. The tremors rippled through the crystalline environment, causing disconcerting vibrations in the air and underfoot.

More and more magus, both humans and elves, continued to pour into the area. They arrived in groups, each displaying their unique faction colors and symbols, adding to the cacophony of power surges and spells being cast.?Accompanying the magus were hundreds of celestial constructs. It was as though everyone had gathered here for a major event, and the battle was poised to escalate into a full-scale war.

Jinkan turned to Emery, her voice carried a note of urgency as she spoke, "Emery, it appears that the rumors about the 8th layer and the revival of celestials are true. We cannot allow the elves to gain access to whatever is down there before we do. We need your help!"

The truth was, Emery had no interest in being involved in such a matter at all, and he was on the verge of rejecting Jinkan's plea. However, before he could voice his decision, a mechanical sound echoed in their minds, instantly grabbing their attention.

[Warning]

[Unauthorized access detected]

[Security measures activated]

[Lockdown starting in 5 seconds]

Emery and the others watched in shock as the ominous countdown began. As they looked into the sky above them, they saw dozens of magus desperately trying to fly toward the portal above them, hoping to escape the impending lockdown.

5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

Inexorably, the massive portal started to close, sealing itself off from the outside world and leaving everyone trapped inside the ancient ruins.
