Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 700: Recovering

Magus Xion did not tell an ounce of a lie as he spoke to the three. What he said was just one of the Magus Alliance secrets.

He just told them that Emery would be joining a Rank A classified mission. Magus Ramora, being a guide to such privileged acolyte, could quickly confirm it through her network. 

Even though she didnʼt have the necessary level of authority required to know the missionʼs details, she could give confirmation that what Magus Xion said was legit.

This information made the two dwarves quickly panic, especially for Master Dulin, whose face could be seen turning pale from the shock. This sight only further increased the suspicion Magus Xion had on them.

On the other hand, the two dwarves recovered slightly from their shock, when they looked each other in the eye. Their concern wasnʼt much about the mission itself; rather, if Emery wasnʼt able to participate in such an important mission, his absence could bring an investigation that could lead to the revelation of their lies.

Knowing they couldnʼt and wouldnʼt be able to escape the consequences if they were busted, Master Grom quickly talked about how important it was to contribute their part to the mission. He and his brother quickly returned to Emeryʼs side and tried to find a way to fix the latterʼs problem.

The apothecary master brought two of his senior disciples and a single young disciple Cedric. The junior apothecary artisan, who went helping Emery to create the serum before. 

The laboratory room, where Emery was contained, suddenly became Master Gromʼs private workshop, as he tried to design a solution for the problem. As time went on and failure after failure occurred, the group had wasted amounts of rare and expensive ingredients trying to find the right solution.

While the two dwarves gave their best to free themselves from the predicament they were in, Emery, whose body was confined to the wall, was no better either. Being stuck in the wolf form was an agonizing torture to both his body and mind.

A few times a day, he would find himself locking gazes against two yellow eyes of the wolves in his mind. He even felt as if the longer he was in such trance, the more he would lose himself. Alas, he discovered he could not do anything about it.

With that, time passed by.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Four days. Thatʼs the time it took for the group to finally be able to awaken Emery from his trance and return him to his human form.

The moment Emery opened his eyes and returned to reality again, he discovered his body was floating inside a familiar tube used for recovery purposes. His eyes immediately swept the surroundings and he was greeted by the friendly faces of his master Magus Xion and his friend Cedric.

”Youʼre finally awake,” Magus Xion said with a hint of relief.

Still confused as to why he was in this kind of situation, Emery said, ”Master, Cedric… How…”

They proceeded to explain what the bewildered Emery had missed in the last 4 days, from achieving victory in his battle against Atlas, his loss of sense afterwards, and the eventual treatment that Master Grom created.

”Thank you, master; and also thank you, senior.” 

Emery would also like to convey his gratitude to his dwarf master, but the other party was apparently busy with other things. After all, it had been 24 hours since he recovered from the wolf form and he had been asleep since. ȑÁN𝔬𝔟ÊṦ

It took Emery a few hours until he was finally able to stand on his feet again. The two people were watching over him all the way through the rehabilitation process, to make sure that there wasnʼt any problem occurring. 

Emery was cleared to get out from the tube within the hour and start stretching his body.

He could still feel the strength he felt during the arena matches and couldnʼt wait to continue his training.

His master and Cedric were a bit worried when they saw Emery enthusiasm even after going through such an experience. Hence, they told him to take it easy for a few days.

However, even if Emery knew about their concerns, he could only wryly smile and continue to do what he was doing.

He couldnʼt just idly rest, everyday in this privileged class was very precious, there was also the dangerous mission that was delegated to him, which could come any time soon.

Hence, he couldnʼt waste time.

While he was still in the main building of the facility, Emery took advantage of this opportunity to test his body and see what he had become.

Arriving at one of the available rooms, where two staff members were already waiting, he decided to start the test.

With his physical condition, Emery decided to start with the spirit test.

Quickly finding himself in a familiar circular dome-shaped room, Emery prepared himself to withstand the intangible pressure emitted by the bright orbs that started appearing one by one. 

Thanks to sufficient concentration and effort on his part, coupled by the fact he had mastered [Soul Tempering meditation – stage 1], he managed to pass an additional level and break his previous results.

As for the physical test that he took after, Emery only used his raw battle power and his [Immortal Gate], without using any of his bloodlines and surprisingly still managed to reach level 8.

When the next level started he soon found himself getting overwhelmed.

Now that he was at the limit, he had to try his bloodline transformation. but when he tried to use his [Fey Transformation] to ampily his strength even further, he once again felt the intense rage rise up and envelop his thoughts. Hence, he immediately stopped and allowed himself to be knocked out of the test.

Below are the results that Emery managed to achieve.

[Physical score 86620 – rank 27]

[Mental score 7410 – rank 71]

[Your final test rank is 55]

As for the test details and comprehensive evaluation of him:

[Emery Ambrose]

[Privilege acolytes member ID: 83192008]

[Average stat comparison]

[Battle Power 148 (180) S]

[Strength 126 (158) – A]

[Agility 158 (185] – S]

[Endurance 160(187) – S]

[Spirit force 910 – B]

[Spirit Power  – A]

[Spirit Control – B]

[Spirit Pool – A]

Even though his total battle power after the series of buffs was the same as the second wolf form, Emery felt the difference in raw strength did bring an extra effect on the final result. 

He also realized his previous problem of lack of endurance had already been solved. It appeared the battle power he received from the body tempering mostly went to his endurance.

The test results also showed his physique and spirit core had fully recovered.

Now, Emery just had to take care of his bloodline, which naturally needed to be further tested.

Magus Xion, who accompanied Emery, understood his current condition and once again reminded him to take it slow, especially with his situation of not having anyone reliable of the Wolf Clan to give assistance when needed.

Seeing Emery had basically returned to his usual self, Magus Xion decided to leave, as he still had some things that needed his immediate attention. Once again, he wished for Emeryʼs wellbeing and reminded him to be careful during the mission.

Nodding his head at his masterʼs kind reminder, Emery was already thinking about the possibility of meeting anyone of the Wolf Clan or the Snake Bloodline on the upcoming mission. They might have something that could help him with his bloodline problem.

Hence, before the mission started, Emery planned to spend the remaining time available deepening his understanding of his own bloodline.
