Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1432: Soul

”No! I donʼt believe it! There has got to be another way!” Klea said frantically. ”T-Thatʼs right! You said that his soul is there, right? Then… then that means thereʼs still a possibility! There must be!”

It was apparent that Klea couldnʼt bear to hear the word no, as it would ultimately mean she would be giving up on Emery.

But such a reaction seemed to annoy the dragon.

”I said itʼs not possible… Itʼs only a tiny shard of his soul!”

Seeing Klea still begging for a way, the dragon grew increasingly annoyed. In the end, not wanting to deal with her anymore, he forcefully kicked her out to the outside world. With that, calm finally returned to the Khaos space.

Killgragah then finally turned his head to look at the other girl, who surprisingly still hadnʼt done anything despite hearing the terrible news. It seemed she was so shaken by the revelation that she didnʼt know how to react.

”You got what you wished for, little girl. The boy has returned.”

The dragon glanced at the unmoving body of Emery once again before saying, ”He managed to kill that woman did he? At least he returned with a large amount of Khaos energy… His departure is not a waste…” Looking at Morgana once more, he added, ”Nothing holds you back now. Accept the power of Khaos, it is your destiny!”

Morgana was still silent, which was certainly not the reaction the dragon was expecting. After a while, she suddenly took a deep breath before raising her head, looking straight at the dragon and saying, ”No…”

”What!? What do you mean by no?!” The dragon threw an incredulous look at the small human before him. ”This power is sought after by many, but you refuse?!”

There was a feeling within, one that she could still feel his presence within, hence she could not accept such an end.

On top of that, Morgana had been living with the dragon for almost a year now. When she heard those words earlier, something inside her gut told her that the dragon was hiding something.

She stared into the dragonʼs large eyes, and as she emotionally pointed at Emeryʼs body, she said, ”Iʼm assuming you also said the same thing to him, didnʼt you? That the power was his destiny?”

Her gaze fixated at the dragon as she continued, ”I bet youʼre just trying to get one as soon as possible, so you can be free from this place! Am I right? So no, I will not accept! If you canʼt save him, then just forget about ever getting out of this place!”

Killgragah growled in anger as he stared at Morgana and said, ”You are a stubborn one, arenʼt you, little girl?!”

Unfortunately for the dragon, Morgana was so dead set in her decision that not even threats wouldnʼt be able to make her budge, thus he reluctantly spoke, ”There is actually a way. It will not be easy and even if you succeed, it will still take years.”

”What is it? Tell me!”

The dragon looked at her again and, when he saw she was not wavering, he eventually decided to speak.

”Itʼs a technique called Soul Walking. As I told you, you are compatible with the Khaos power, so it is possible for you to look for the boy yourself and guide him back to the real world.”

Killgragah explained that not only would the process be difficult, it was also extremely dangerous for her. Hence, the reason for his reluctance to reveal this solution. After all, those who had compatibility with the power of Khaos werenʼt easy to come by.

However, despite the dangers and difficulties that had been so clearly described, Morgana didnʼt even need to think for a moment and immediately asked what she needed to do.

The dragon grumbled at her response before saying, ”I admit heʼs indeed a better candidate. However, I will only give you one year. If you still canʼt save him by then, that means you have to accept the will of Khaos.”

Morgana simply agreed with the dragonʼs words, because she only cared about saving Emery. The moment she accepted, the dragon began teaching her the [Soul Walking] technique. After days of countless attempts, she was finally able to connect with Emeryʼs soul that was hidden deep within his shattered core.

When she opened her eyes once again, Morgana found herself in a dark and gloomy place. She looked around, the landscape seemed to blur as she swiveled her head, she was in the middle of a dying forest filled with countless dead trees. As she wondered why Emeryʼs soul remained in a place like this, with no sense of direction and heavy fog to disrupt her senses, she started walking aimlessly.

On the other hand, Klea, who had been forcefully out of the Khaos space, could be seen furiously spewing out curses. to the extent that a storm was forming around the hill where the stone formation was.

”I thought you said you were an all-powerful being! If so, why canʼt you save him!”

Knowing there was a window that would allow those within the Khaos space to see the outside world, Klea tried her best to provoke the dragon. She evidently didnʼt even care what would happen to her as long as the dragon changed their mind. 𝑅ΑＮŎᛒЁs

Alas, minutes swiftly turned to hours and there was still nothing. It was as if the dragon didnʼt think she was worth his time.

Not only that, even the wolf girl didnʼt come out either.

Irritated by the treatment she was given, Klea shouted, ”If you really canʼt do anything, give his body back to me! I will find someone who can!”

By this time, the Fey sisters had arrived at the edge of the clearing. However, they didnʼt approach and only observed from afar. When they found out about what happened from the curses that the raven-haired girl screamed out, they also felt despair.

Night fell yet Klea still refused to leave the stone formation, not without Emeryʼs body. The expression on her face showed she was determined to wait no matter how long it took. At the very least, she needed to hear an explanation from the dragon.

With that, time flew by and unknowingly three days passed. Silence still filled the clearing. At this point, a group of people came to visit. They were the knights of Camelot, and with them was their Queen Gweneth Lioness.

Having heard the news about Emery, to be precise, his body that had returned to Earth, the queen of New Britain quickly made her way to this place. When she saw the familiar girl in such a state at the stone formation, she couldnʼt help but understand her feelings.

After observing for a while, Gwen finally decided to approach Klea. ”I have heard what happened. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Klea turned her head and chuckled mockingly at the offer before saying, ”I donʼt think so… Unless you keep a spare of his soul around.”

Such remarks made Gwen heave a long sigh before saying, ”Please donʼt be unkind. Youʼre not the only one who loves him.”

Still angry because of the cold treatment the dragon gave her, Klea snapped at her. ”Donʼt you have a husband king waiting for you at home?”

This time, it was Gwen who chuckled mockingly as she said, ”Thatʼs funny coming from you. I remember that the queen of Egypt seems to have a husband brother waiting at home.”

The unexpected comeback from Gwen evidently caught Klea off guard, so much so it made her smile.

The days continued to pass, until it was finally a week since Klea had come to the stone formation. The two girls waited, hoping for an answer.
