Earth's Greatest Magus

The moment the fifth gate swung open, it revealed a vast chamber teeming with celestial constructs, numbering 2,000 in total. The Order of Avalon, guardians of the fifth layer, comprised a diverse array of celestial beings. Among their ranks were heavily armored knights, agile archers, a multitude of formidable mages, and several priestesses, All were identical to the one they faced at the fourth gate.action

However, what differentiate was the central figure on the celestial side, their commander standing at an imposing ten meters in height. In its metallic grip, it held a staff adorned with intricate designs.

As the gates parted, the magus and elves organized themselves into their respective formations, mirroring their previous strategies. The elves, known for their precision and unity, created a tight-knit formation. On the other side, the human magus formed their ranks within their factions.

Despite the formidable opposition they faced, the magus and elves were resolved to confront the celestial army with only half their previous numbers. The tension in the air was palpable as they readied themselves for the battle that lay ahead.

As the battle commenced and the celestial forces clashed with the magus and elves, the Mage Lord, their formidable commander, wasted no time. Raising its staff high, it channeled its celestial power into a devastating spell, conjuring a dozen colossal fireballs in the air above. This was the dreaded [Meteor Fall], a spell of catastrophic proportions.

Each massive rock, measuring an astounding ten meters in diameter, hurtled down from the sky, targeting the formations of the magus and elves. In a frantic bid to defend themselves, hundreds of magus launched their offensive spells towards the incoming meteorites, attempting to shatter them before they could make landfall. However, only a handful of these spells found their mark, managing to break apart a few of the falling rocks. The majority of the magus were left with no choice but to rely on their protective barriers and spells.

Among the groups, the arcane magus had established a robust protective formation, as had some of the elves. On Emery’s side, it took the combined might of Uria’s potent spirit attack and Neo’s formidable [Sword Sanctuary] to successfully halt one of the falling meteors. However, for the other group that failed to prevent the collision, the consequences were dire. Those directly struck by the meteorites were instantly reduced to nothingness, leaving no trace behind. The lethal impact also claimed the lives of several individuals in the vicinity, adding to the grim toll exacted by the celestial forces.

In the opening moments of the battle, dozens of magus fell victim to the devastating spell their lives extinguished within mere minutes. However, this high casualty rate did not deter the remaining magus and elves. They stood their ground with unwavering determination, holding back the relentless advance of the celestial forces and fiercely pushing them back.

Recognizing the Mage Lord’s formidable power, some of the magus from the top factions had been forewarned and sent their most skilled magus to bypass the celestial army, aiming to reach the Mage Lord directly. They seized the opportunity during the cooldown phase of its devastating [Meteor Fall] and exploited the commander’s relatively lower defenses.

The dark elves, who raced against the dark magus of the Oculus faction, were the first to seize the opportunity, dashing through the celestial army with the goal of reaching the Mage Lord. However, the ten champion knights, forming an impenetrable shield around the Mage Lord, thwarted their attempts.

Recognizing that the champions were fully engaged in battling this elite magus, Emery took decisive action. With Jinkan’s confirmation, he led the group of 30 magus. He harnessed his teleportation abilities to transport them directly into the midst of the celestial formation. With unwavering determination, they positioned themselves in close proximity to the Mage Lord and unleashed an unrelenting onslaught of their most potent attacks, seeking to exploit the commander’s momentary vulnerability.

With swift and coordinated efforts, Emery’s group made the most of their opportunity, quickly accumulating points and securing positions within the top 100 rankings. As the cooldown period for the Mage Lord’s abilities ended, Emery swiftly disrupted it using his [Anti Magic] spell, buying them valuable additional time to continue their relentless assault.

In mere minutes, they managed to deplete half of the commander’s health pool before it shifted its tactics, unleashing a barrage of magic missiles so powerful that it could obliterate even a full moon defensive barrier.

In response to the imminent threat, Lambert and his knights promptly formed a protective barrier to intercept the deadly missiles. Despite the formidable strength of their shields, the sheer power of the magic missiles managed to breach their defenses and pierce the knights’ bodies.

“Pull them back!” Emery shouted urgently, recognizing the dire situation.

With the arrival of reinforcements, including Olivier Arkaland on his flying sword and the Fate Child, the Mage Lord’s defenses began to crumble under the combined onslaught. The addition of these formidable figures tilted the balance decisively in favor of the magus.

[You have destroyed the Mage Lord]

Without the Mage Lord, the celestial army lost its central command and real threat. The magus could now methodically dismantle the celestial forces, gradually chipping away at their numbers. It took a grueling two and a half hours, but eventually, all the celestials were defeated and lay defeated on the ground.

[Rank 1 – Emery Ambrose – 782 points]

[Rank 4 – Uria Alabaster – 722 points]

[Rank 6 – Olivier Arkaland – 701 points]

[Rank 30 – Mahinder Nieves 596 points]

[Rank 38 – Lambert 577 points]

[Rank 42 – Zephyr Nephilim -560 points]

As the gate to the sixth layer opened, all the magus hurriedly rushed through. However, just as Emery and the others attempted to follow suit, they were obstructed by a group of a hundred dark elves led by the familiar Khan.

“You dare kill my kin! You are going to pay with your life!” the Khan of the dark elves declared with anger in his voice.
