Earth's Greatest Magus
Earth's Greatest Magus - Chapter 1897: Clash

?1897 Clash

It was a lopsided battle, with 20 dark elves poised against the group of 8 human magus. The dark elves, known for their superiority, seemed to hold the upper hand in the encounter.

"Huh! Half Moon and crescent moon, what trash! Just take two of them and kill the rest!" sneered the monarch, instructing his group of dark elves to swiftly finish the fight.

On the opposite side, Julian cautioned his group to be vigilant, recognizing that these dark elves were far from ordinary. As the monarch's dark elves charged toward them, Julian swiftly enacted a defensive strategy.

Eight dark elves fiercely brandishing their weapons and spells closed in on the group. To counter the assault, Julian harnessed his Sovereign powers and channeled them into his newly acquired tier 6 shield and cast a divine technique.

[Majestic Wall]

This was a technique Julian had secretly dedicated considerable time to mastering, and the recent acquisition of the tier 6 shield from the Nephilim had finally allowed him to achieve proficiency.

With a surge of energy, he created a formidable force wall. This defensive barrier exhibited a light aura, radiating an imposing presence that repelled all eight dark elves. Seizing the advantage provided by the Majestic Wall, he swiftly signaled for a coordinated counter-attack from his allies.

Klea and Chumo, positioned at a distance, unleashed a barrage of ranged attacks, aiming to weaken their foes. Meanwhile, Heracles, Triton, Fjolnir, and Thrax leaped into action, charging through the fires ignited by their adversaries.

The battlefield erupted into chaos as elemental spells clashed, and the clash of weapons echoed through the air. The dark elves, despite their initial confidence, found themselves struggling against the coordinated assault of the Earth magus and his allies.

"It's time to show my new power!!"

With a resolute declaration, Fjolnir raised his axes, eager to showcase his newfound power. The celestial shards had recently fueled his breakthrough, propelling him to half-moon mastery in the law of lightning. As he swung his lightning-

charged axes, the air crackled with electric energy.

Triton, armed with tridents pulsating with the law of the sea, and Heracles, wielding an earth-shattering golden mace, joined in the onslaught. The combined force of their attacks created a symphony of elemental power, each strike resonating with the force of their respective laws.

Their combined might astonished the dark elves, as each human demonstrated the ability to match the dark elves' advantageous strength. The onslaught became so intense that they even managed to wound their adversaries.

Observing the situation, two of the dark elves decided to target the sole crescent moon among the four attacker. "Kill this one first!!" they shouted, planning to kill the weakest link.

However, they quickly regretted their decision.

With a bloodshot glare, Thrax, the gladiator, unleashed his formidable powers: [Immortal Gate Stage 8] and [Blood Rage], reinforced by the law of slaughter. In a shocking display of brutality, he swiftly decapitated one of dark elves with a single swing of his trusted dark spear.

"GaelBolg!! Another one!!!" Thrax roared, ready to claim another dark elf's life. However, his bloodlust was thwarted when the void stalkers intervened, saving the terrified dark elves with their space magic.

Seeing that the eight human magus were not as simple as they initially thought, the Monarch decided to send all of his forces to attack simultaneously. However, this time, Klea had completed her [Hexagram Elemental Formation], and together with the Abbot's [Sutra], they crafted a complex magical array that disoriented the senses of the attacking magus.

"Attack the girl first!!" shouted Cole, instructing two of his void stalkers to locate Klea.

However, Chumo lay in wait, seamlessly transitioning into his [Nightwalker] form. The three void stalkers found themselves unable to close the distance on their elusive target. Seizing the opportunity, Klea employed her tier 6 rods to freeze one of the dark elves from the neck down, and then, using spirit illusion, she compelled the captive void stalker to reveal information.

"Tell me! Where is he!!?" Klea demanded, her penetrating gaze delving into the captive void stalker's essence.

The battle waged on for another five intense minutes, and instead of achieving victory over the human magus, three dark elves had fallen, and one void stalker had been captured. Faced with mounting losses and terrifies to waste any more time, the dark elf Monarch made a tactical decision to call for a retreat, leaving Cole and the remaining five void stalkers behind.

Knowing he was unable to win the fight anymore, Cole, standing amidst the fallen comrades, made a desperate request, "Release my men, and I will tell you about your friend."

Klea, understanding the critical importance of information about Emery's whereabouts, swiftly weighed her options. With Emery's safety as the top priority, she was more than willing to accept the terms presented by Cole.

Cole briefly explained the dire circumstances on the eighth layer and concluded with a somber warning, "It's too late for him. You all should leave this ruin right away!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Klea decided. The memories of leaving Emery alone on the elven planet surged within her, and she was not prepared to repeat that mistake. Not when it had taken so long for them to be reunited.

With determination in her eyes, Klea addressed the others, saying, "I am sorry, but I must see him." Without waiting for a response, she hurriedly descended to the deeper layer. The decision was clear for the rest, and, except for the two Kronos Magus, all Earth magus followed her, hoping they were not too late.

As Klea and the others left, Cole and his remaining void stalkers continued their journey back. However, they were suddenly ambushed by a magus—a dark elf master in shadow.

[Gravity Slash]

The powerful and abrupt attack instantly split one of the void stalker magus, enraging the others. "You!! Kieran!"

Kieran, the other champion of Khaos, approached what was left of the void stalker with a smile. "Now you will tell me everything about your master."
