Earth's Greatest Magus - Chapter 1894: Celestial Battle 5

?1894 Celestial Battle 5

Zach Talon descended from the sky with a resounding roar. With a mighty swing, Zach brought the Executioner sword down upon the Manticore, flames erupting from the point of impact. The air crackled with the heat, and the Manticore roared in pain as the fiery assault battered its enormous frame, causing the winged giant to crash to the ground.

The Dragon Prince, adorned in dark and crimson scales, showcased his formidable dragon transformation. Two massive dark dragon wings adorned his back, expanded to their full span, casting a menacing silhouette signifying the completion of his new transformation, the stage 7 of the Mythical dragon blood known as [Zero Bahamut].

As the Dragon Prince continued his assault, the air crackled with an aura of intimidation. With a flourish of moon magus prowess in the law of flame, he invoked [Draconic Mega Flare]. The unleashed flames danced with a life of their own, enveloping the massive Manticore in a sea of scorching heat. The vivid spectacle not only showcased Zach's prowess but also served as a rallying point, instilling a renewed sense of hope in the beleaguered defenders of the chamber.

Jinkan swiftly flew alongside the half-blood Zach, providing a concise explanation of the situation. Within moments, the group witnessed the arrival of a few dozen magus just behind Zach. These weren't ordinary enforcers; they constituted Zach's special half-blood unit. With a decisive command from the Dragon Prince, they swiftly separated, strategically positioning themselves to join the unfolding battle.

The tiger magus moved with predatory grace, the goat magus displayed steadfast resilience, the bird magus soared above the skirmish, the bat magus weaved through the chaos with uncanny agility, the wolf magus struck with primal ferocity, and the turtle magus provided a stalwart defense. Their collaboration formed a seamless tapestry of diverse abilities, creating a synergy that fortified the defenders against the relentless celestial onslaught.

As the seasoned enforcers, their collective presence bolstered the efforts of the beleaguered defenders, buying them precious additional moments against the relentless celestial onslaught.

Empowered by the newfound reinforcement, Emery redirected his focus to his formidable adversary – the self-proclaimed Demon Lord, Kasius. The dark magus had been deflecting Mahinder's palm strikes with ease, countering with a powerful punch that sent the divine monk crashing to the ground.

Swift as a shadow, Emery intervened before the second punch could land, blocking it with his massive claw.

BAMMM!!!

The clash of Emery's massive claw and Kasius's powerful punch reverberated through the air, creating a shockwave that disrupted the celestial constructs in the vicinity. Despite the forceful impact, both combatants quickly recovered, locked in a fierce exchange of strikes. Each move displayed a combination of raw power and refined skill, creating a dance of aggression and defense.

The combatants engaged in a fierce dance of blocks and hits, each blow leaving its mark, yet both combatants swiftly recovering. Despite appearances, Emery felt the strain of maintaining the fusion form for an extended period. With each strike, it seemed as though his body was on the verge of breaking apart.

"Hahaha! I can see you are at the end of your power!" taunted Kasius with a wicked laugh.

"Perhaps, but not until I turn you into pulp!" Emery retorted defiantly.

Just in time, Mahinder returned to the fray, chanting prayers that appeared to influence the creature's mind and momentarily ease its relentless assault on Emery. Seizing the opportunity, the creature redirected its attention towards the monk.

"I will kill you first, then!!" threatened the creature with a menacing growl.

Emery unleashed a ferocious assault on the creature, attempting to draw its attention away from Mahinder. However, the creature remained fixated on the monk, seemingly determined to end his life. Mahinder, displaying remarkable calmness, channeled his power and conjured a massive figure behind him—a skill that had made him the champion of the Magus tournament. This ability, lost when the high elves' souls departed, was now revitalized through Mahinder's accumulated comprehension of the law of Holy.

"My holy strikes are made to destroy demons like you!" declared the monk with unwavering determination.

Despite Mahinder's efforts, the power disparity between him and the demon proved too great. The creature's counterpunch shattered the monk's ribcage, and just as the fatal blow was about to land on his skull, a flash of a blade intervened, saving Mahinder's life.

"My turn!!'

Olivier, the Sword Saint, sprang into action with a dazzling display of swordsmanship. His [Motion Stream] technique unleashed a rapid barrage of strikes, the blade moving with unparalleled speed. The strikes were so swift that they left only superficial scratches on the creature's body, showcasing the prowess of the Sword Saint's incredible swordplay.

"Huh!! Annoying pest!!" grunted the Demon Lord as he concentrated his power, generating multiple dark energy blasts that he hurled towards Olivier, Mahinder, and the wounded Emery. The assault wounded the two magus and forced Emery to his knees, blood trickling from his mouth.

Unexpectedly, instead of delivering a finishing blow, the Demon Lord gathered an even more potent energy blast, one aimed directly at the magus formation. "Let the resurgence begin!!" he declared with malicious intent.

Emery refused to let the powerful energy blast breach the formation. In a swift maneuver, he used [Blink] to position himself directly in the path of the impending explosion, bracing for impact. With all his might, he held the blast with his two arms, a desperate attempt to shield the formation. A scream of determination escaped his lips, "Not while I am here!!"

As the energy blast threatened to overwhelm him, help arrived just in time. Descending from above, Zach executed a powerful sword rotation, smashing into the energy blast. His attack managed to block half of its strength before propelling both him and Emery backward.

"Took you long enough, Zach!!" Emery exclaimed.

"I am joining this fight!!" Zach retorted.

Side by side, Emery and Zach stood ready, with Mahinder and Olivier behind them. The four Magus tournament finalists united, fighting together with a singular purpose – to prevent the Demon Lord from breaking through the formation.

"Fight!!!"
