Earth's Greatest Magus - Chapter 1893: Celestial Battle 4

?1893 Celestial Battle 4

As the intense chase between the Manticore Beast and the two Angelic-looking couples unfolded, the air crackled with multiple blasts and the whooshing of powerful spells. The godly suits of the Nephilim couples radiated divine energy, but with most magus focusing their attacks on the Basilisk, there was limited assistance for the celestial skirmishers.

The nimble movements of Eesho Nephilim and Jinkan Nephilim, clad in their divine armors, clashed against the Manticore's agile maneuvers. Bright flashes illuminated the chamber as golden wings beat against the air, leaving trails of divine energy in their wake. Despite their valiant efforts, the Manticore's health remained robust, and it was evident that the Nephilim couple couldn't keep up with the relentless pace for an extended duration.

Meanwhile, the Arachnids, the ceaseless progenitors of spiders, continued their assault, creating a frenzied dance of eight-

legged horrors. Magus were forced to dodge and weave through the horde, their attention diverted from the Manticore battle.

Amid the relentless battle that persisted for a grueling 20 minutes, the chamber became a grim tableau of sacrifice. Over a hundred magus, encompassing both humans and elves, lay fallen on the celestial-stricken ground. Among them were Olvos Stormbringer and Claris Ainsworth, revered leaders of Jinkan's team, their formidable full moon souls extinguished in the face of overwhelming odds.

As the relentless onslaught continued, the entire chamber became an unforgiving battlefield, saturated with celestial constructs and spiders. The magus found themselves trapped, unable to push back the overwhelming tide. Their perseverance in the face of such adversity hinged on the pivotal contributions of the Arcanum Arcane Magus and Imperium Techno Magus.

The Arcanum Arcane Magus maintained a stalwart defense through superior formations, erecting barriers against the ceaseless onslaught. Magus rallied behind these protective structures, clinging to the dwindling hope that their resilience could outlast the relentless celestial forces.

On the technological front, the Imperium Techno Magus donned specialized power armor equipped with high-grade armaments, including Ionic beams, reunite bullet rounds, and thermal cannons. Their advanced weaponry unleashed a relentless barrage, momentarily holding back the celestial onslaught.

Yet, the situation grew dire. The number of arcane Magus dwindled steadily, their once-complete arcane predictions now faltering. The Paladins, reliant on ammunition, depleted their stockpiles in the relentless battle.

At the precipice of their endurance, one final push threatened to overwhelm the defenders, casting an impending sense of doom. The chamber, already filled with an unrelenting horde of celestial constructs and spiders, witnessed the emergence of a new threat through the crack in their defensive formation.

"Kill that creature!" echoed Loriel Starwind's urgent command within the minds of all the magus. Protected by the entangled tentacles, the pitch-black worm creature gradually transformed, growing into a humanoid form. By the time Emery reached it, two massive arms had already materialized, efficiently blocking his ferocious claw strike with a formidable barrier.

As the creature continued to evolve, the anxiety among the defenders intensified. Witnessing Emery, whose strength had proven unparalleled, struggling against this enigmatic foe raised concerns and questions.

"What is that thing!!" rang out in collective disbelief.

"You really are something, aren't you!!" Emery exclaimed, channeling his strength to pierce his claws into the creature's neck. Yet, the creature's head slowly materialized, unveiling a familiar face—it was the Oculus dark magus leader. The revelation left the magus both astonished and unnerved, as they grappled with the implications of this unexpected adversary.

Oculus dark magus leader.

"I…have been reborn… My God has chosen me.. me Kasius!!"

The dark magus, shattered into pieces just half an hour ago, had now been resurrected in a new form. Standing at three meters tall, covered in pitch-black scales and adorned with multiple horns, Kasius resembled his dark magus Demonic Transformation. However, this form was more alien in nature, with a purplish aura glowing along its body.

As the transformation finalized, Kasius's face slowly contorted into an inhuman visage, and its voice underwent a chilling change as it proclaimed, "I am Demon Lord Kasius!" With newfound strength, Kasius pushed back Emery's massive form, creating an unsettling ripple of shock among the defenders.

From the creature's back, Dyoo, the Demon Nunchaku, and Kael, the fire team leader, emerged. Dyoo wielded his nunchaku to strangle Kasius's neck, while Kael, in his flaming nova form, directed all his incinerating power toward the creature's head. Blue flames erupted from the facial openings of Kasius, who laughed within the fiery inferno like a demon. Undeterred, Kasius effortlessly shattered Dyoo's nunchaku and swiftly seized Kael with his two arms, tearing him apart like a mere piece of cloth.

As blood from the fallen magus streamed down Kasius's face, Dyoo leaped forward, fueled by rage. "You bloody monster! Fight me, Dyoo!!" he shouted, channeling the spirit from his broken artifact into his body. With all his might, Dyoo unleashed a single, powerful strike with the shattered nunchaku piece, aiming for a vital point on the creature's neck.

BAMMMM!!!

Purplish blood spurted from the wound, accompanied by Kasius's groans of pain, diverting the demon lord's attention toward Dyoo.

"Dyoo!! Get back!!" Emery shouted, fully aware of the grave danger his friend was in. Despite Emery's urgent warning, he could only witness Dyoo's shoulder being split apart.

"Arrghhhh!!"

Swiftly, another figure emerged, chanting words and delivering multiple palm strikes, each strike carrying the weight of a mountain. Mahinder's light-based attack, known as [1000 Blossom Sacred Strike], proved effective in pushing the creature back and saving Dyoo's life.

The intense barrage of strikes effectively pushed the creature back, creating a momentary reprieve.

Seizing the oppprtunity, Emery unleashed his roots to ensnare the stumbling creature, and with the swift execution of [Bloodhound Step], he deftly maneuvered around Kasius. In a powerful display of clawed strikes, Emery relentlessly attacked, forcing the demon lord back away from the critical formation.

The creature bore multiple large wounds on its chest, but to Emery's dismay, they swiftly regenerated. Kasius, undeterred, wore a smug smile.

"It's no use! You cannot stop me!! The time of Magus is over; the resurgence has arrived!!" proclaimed Kasius with an air of ominous certainty. The echoes of his declaration reverberated through the chamber, creating an unsettling atmosphere. The magus faced not only a formidable adversary but a looming threat to their very existence.

In that critical moment, Emery witnessed Eeshoo received a critical blow in the air while assisting Jinkan. As the Nephilim genius crashed to the ground, Jinkan found herself becoming the primary target of the Manticore.

Jinkan cunningly led the creature toward the gate, appearing to flee. However, a figure of immense power emerged from the gate – a half-man, half-dragon wielding a massive sword samshing the manticore back to the ground.
