Earth's Greatest Magus

The Agnor family proved to be exceptional hosts, ensuring Emery’s comfort by providing him with his own residence adjacent to theirs.

The dwelling took the form of a magnificent mushroom-like construct, boasting three spacious floors that afforded each of them the privacy they desired. Emery was delighted to discover that the residence even included a dedicated space for his apothecary practice, complete with shelves lined with jars filled with various herbs and ingredients. The room was bathed in natural light that streamed through a wide window, offering a picturesque view of the verdant forest beyond.

As Emery settled into his new abode, he marveled at the progress he had made in his Katra training.

Half a year had passed since his breakthrough to the fifth stage, and he had since mastered the utilization of his [Nature Grasp] ability, even in the deepest states of meditation. With heightened sensitivity, he could feel the vibrant energy coursing through every living thing surrounding him—the trees, leaves, roots, and even the smallest creatures. The interplay between the different elements of nature became a symphony that resonated within him, an exquisite harmony that only those attuned to the essence of the world could perceive.

Truthfully, it wasn’t just the elven technique itself that helped him make his fast recovery, but it was the planet itself that was filled with the high energy of nature. Each breath he took seemed to infuse his being with vitality, as if the very air was charged with life force. The planet’s energy acted as a catalyst, accelerating his soul’s recovery and allowing him to regain his strength at an astonishing pace.

Katra help him identify the nature around him while the unique spell thought by Gaia itself allowed him to absorb this energy into his soul. This synergy accelerated his soul’s recovery, allowing him to heal and regain his strength at an astonishing pace.

After a week of living in the vicinity of Canta City, the vibrant energy of the city gives him another edge to his understanding of the law of nature and pushes him for another breakthrough

[You have a new comprehension in the law of nature]

[Law of Nature – 13% (14%)]”

This breakthrough not only enhanced his understanding of the law of nature but also fortified his soul force, further strengthening his spiritual essence. Eager to assess his progress, Emery took a moment to review his current standing:

[Emery Ambrose]

[Battle power 312]

[Soul force 177]

[Magus realm – Crescent Moon]

[Bloodline Gene – Royal Twilight Fey]

[Current Rank – Rank 7 – Fey Paragon]

[Law of Nature – 14%]

[Law of Light – 4%]

[Law Comprehension – 17%]

“Just a little bit more,”

Emery whispered, a sense of determination fueling his daily training routine.

Over the past two years on this mystical planet, his understanding of both the laws of nature and light had grown exponentially. He couldn’t help but hope that, once his soul fully recovered, he would surpass the 15% threshold, propelling him back to his former half-moon magus stage. 

Emery’s thoughts drifted to his dark soul, the missing piece of himself that lingered beyond his reach. Although he had reached new heights in his understanding of the natural law, he knew that his journey would never be complete without the return of his dark soul. It was an integral part of him, and only its reunion would restore the balance within his being.

In an attempt to gauge the extent of his newfound strength, Emery decided to test his abilities. With a subtle movement of his finger, the tranquil surface of the pond began to ripple, and a stone emerged from its depths, forming a stone figure.

Emery focused his concentration, shaping the figure into the likeness of a woman, the one he dearly missed. Every detail, from her eyes to her flowing hair, was brought to life with a masterful touch. The form of Silva Ouroboros.

The combination of earth, water, and plant roots formed a mesmerizing sculpture that showcased Emery’s advanced ability to bend the laws of nature. However, as he gazed upon the creation, a bittersweet ache tugged at his heart. With a single sweep of his arm, the sculpture crumbled into the ground, its ephemeral beauty fading away.

Refusing to dwell in melancholy, Emery sought to push the boundaries of his abilities even further.

He cast the same spell manipulating nature under his arm, however, this time he called upon another power into the mix. One that did not generate from his core.

Emery whispered the name “Chututlu”

As if breathing new life into the stones and roots, a new form was sculptured, this time in the form of a magnificent serpent. However, there was an obvious difference within the elements, making its darkened exterior pulsate with a mesmerizing green glow.

It was Emery’s show of Emery’s old spell [Jade Roots] one he managed to conjure with the help of the Khaos Guardian that reside in his chest.

Emery was currently able to channel the power of Khaos Guardian to his command. While he couldn’t cast space or gravity spells, he had found a way to channel this unique power into creating his combination spell.

A smile of satisfaction adorned Emery’s face as he witnessed the majestic serpent rise from the center of the pond. However, his joy was short-lived as he noticed the lifeless bodies of the small swimming creatures floating on the water’s surface. A chuckling voice echoed in his mind, a reminder of the price that came with wielding such potent forces.

“,” the voice taunted.

The power of Khaos that he borrows has the signature of Chututlu, the guardian of the Pestilence gate and one of his feats was the mastery of poison making the spirit energy itself highly poisonous.

Emery sighed heavily, Emery swiftly dispelling the spell and severing the connection to the Khaos space. Refocusing his energy, he shifted his attention to a spell rooted in an entirely different comprehension of the law.

[Rebirth]

As he cast the spell, the lifeless bodies of the swimming creatures began to stir. One by one, they regained their vitality, swimming with renewed vigor within the pond. Emery’s mastery over the spell had grown, allowing him to restore life without the need for a light artifact.

The pond returned to its serene state, as if the recent events were mere ripples on the surface of its existence.

“That’s enough for today” Emery declared, his voice carrying a sense of contentment

Satisfied with his training session, Emery rose from his meditative position and began to walk away from the pond. Just then, he noticed a figure approaching—Helena, the beautiful elven girl with pale skin and ashen hair. She carried a cup filled with an aromatic elven hot drink made from scented flowers and honey.

“Please have a drink,” Helena offered, her voice warm and inviting.

Emery graciously accepted the cup, expressing his thanks, and took a sip of the rejuvenating elixir. The taste danced on his tongue, a delightful blend of floral sweetness. Helena stood before him, hesitating for a moment before gathering her courage to speak.

“Master Merlin, I wonder if I can assist you with the Potion Master Forum,” she asked, her eyes filled with a mix of eagerness and trepidation.

Emery smiled kindly at the young elf and replied, “Of course, Helena. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.”

Having worked together on previous occasions, Helena’s expertise as an apothecary apprentice made her an invaluable asset. It was customary for master potion masters to bring assistants to such events, and Emery was pleased to have Helena’s support once again.

However, Emery was surprised by her joyful response as she left the pond.

ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm Amidst the aftermath of their conversation, Morgana, the red-haired woman, approached Emery with a sigh of exasperation.

“You really can’t help flirting around every beautiful girl that comes your way can’t you?!”  Morgana exclaimed, her voice laced with playful annoyance.

Emery, taken aback by her accusation, quickly protested, “Flirt? No, no, it’s not like that. Helena is offering her assis…”

Morgana appeared disinterested in his explanation, interrupting him with a dismissive wave of her hand. “I know you don’t mean any harm, but let’s hope you don’t unintentionally hurt this one.”

The following day, Emery received an official invitation from the Grove.

[Master Merlin, We are honored by your interest in participating in the forum. You are cordially invited to be part of the Junior Potion Master panel, and we will be expecting three of your original potions to be exhibited at the forum.]
