Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

A few hours after that cataclysmic incident, a village next to a rocky mountain that was inhabited by around three hundred wolf half-bloods was no more.

Dozens of burnt huts and many of the corpses that could previously be seen had been immaculately taken care of, buried deep in the ground, leaving no traces of the bloodshed that had occurred or even a hint of a village's existence.

In a clearing dozens of miles away, the surviving villagers could be seen gathering around a bonfire for warmth. They all huddled together as they waited for their chief, whose consciousness should soon recover from his vital injuries.

Upon opening his eyes once again, Yori was greeted by the sight of his son and his village's guest magus staring at him. Confusion could be seen in his eyes before a trace of realization flashed by as he recalled the last memory he had.

Staring at his son, the old man slowly asked, "What… What happened?"

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Yori's condition, the son quickly explained to the former what their guest had done and how they agreed to his terms of leaving their land to find a new place further away from the Ironcrest clan.

Indeed, those were the conditions that Emery had asked for in order to save the villagers and their chief's life.

Yori looked at his son who had made such a decision himself with a smile on his face. "You did right, my son. We could no longer live there. The Sandune Wolf will never live in peace there anymore."

In response, the young man smiled for a second before he then explained that it was not the only thing that their savior had asked for. Looking at his father, he said calmly, "He told me that he wants me to follow him and become a member of his blood pack."

A blood pack would guarantee a total loyalty towards the pack leader, and coupled with the fact that Emery was a wolf half-blood with powerful bloodline meant that there was almost no chance he would be able to resist his command after sealing the deed, which basically meant that he would be forever bound to the latter.The source of this content is novelenglish.net .

It was a status not much different than being a slave, which was the matter that started their fight before in the first place.

There was apparent difficulty on the village chief's face as he turned to Emery and said, "Magus, can you please tell me what plans you have for my son?"

Hearing that, Emery was silent for a second before saying, "I prefer not to say."

The reason Emery chose not to reveal his objective was because he still couldn't guarantee that the Ironcrest clan would never find the Sandune Wolf, so he rather kept both his plans and identity secret until proven otherwise.

Seeing his father hesitating at the idea, the son knelt down and said, "Father, you said it yourself, that I have grown up, that I am a man now. Besides, I have to be true to my word, something that has always been your teachings."

The old wolf nodded his head at those words, but still he turned towards Emery saying, "Please esteemed magus, at least I need to know whether or not you will take good care of my son."

Since the young man would be completely loyal to him, Emery had no reason not to do so, so he nodded while saying, "I will."

Yori kept his gaze on Emery's face for quite a while before finally turning to his son. "Then son, you shall honor your word and follow this man, make sure to heed his words to the best of your ability."

With his father's blessing, the young man turned to Emery. He made a small cut in his palm and let the blood fall to the ground as he said, "I am Yoro, and from this day on, I am no longer of the Sandune Wolf and will forever follow you as my Alpha leader."

What Yoro had just done was merely an oath of loyalty. Even if it wasn't binding at all, it was more than enough for now as the current Emery didn't have the tools needed for the blood pact ritual.

With this, Emery had one Saint level wolf half-blood at his beck and call. In particular, one who knew his way around the sector and the ways of the wolf half-blood in the Silvermane Planet.

In all honesty, there was another reason why Emery decided to take the young man as his blood pack. Knowing how much the father, the chief of the Sandune Wolf, loved his son, if Ironcrest were to track down the clan, Emery believed his father would be willing to die rather than reveal his involvement and implicate his son.

With this, his secret was pretty much guaranteed.

When the two of them finally separated, Emery asked Yoro to reveal his blood gene and the young man happily obliged.

[Yoro]

[Battle power 145]

[Spirit force 375]

[Realm: Saint Realm]

[Bloodline gene - Sandune wolf]

[Gene classification: legendary Bloodline]

[Bloodline limit: Rank 6]

[Current rank: Rank 4]

To his surprise, the young man turned out to be a descendant of a Legendary wolf bloodline. It was no wonder that even in his Saint realm he was able to take on many people with the same strength as him at the same time.

Unfortunately, the young man had gone onto the saint realm path, hence his chance to reach the magus realm will be much more difficult to the point of impossible. Seeing his talent he understood why.

[Element Affinity: Earth, Wind]

[Spirit Aptitude: C]

Yori has almost similar stats to what Emery was, unfortunately, he didn't have access to the magus academy or magus master. Still, Emery believed the young man could be considered a diamond in a pile of rocks, with some help Emery hoped the Sanddune wolf could be a good member of his pack and then the Royal hunt.

After concluding the matter with the Sandune Wolf, it was time for Emery to continue his journey. He let Yori take his ride while he himself ran on foot, hunting whatever creatures he came across along the way.

With another day's journey, Emery finally arrived at the place he was looking for. A certain mining village near a rocky mountain. At a glance, the place seemed bustling with thousands of wolf half-bloods.

This was the place mentioned by Tatyana, where Andrei and the other members of the White Fang Clan were last seen.
