Earth's Greatest Magus

The audience was all cheering and giving various comments about the ongoing battle of summons. The spectacle of two summoners clashing head-on was something that was rare to see, after all.

"Did you see that? Those things the savage acolyte summons are so weak!"

"That's just to be expected, isn't it? If Jai had recharged all his metal humanoids, even the dragon boy wouldn't be able to have won."

"Yes! The savage acolyte is a fool to play the puppeteer's game!"

Even though Emery managed to defeat Taylor Haze with rather an ease, most of the audience did not think he would win against Jai easily. Some even thought Emery would lose after seeing the miserable display of his summons against the metal puppeteers.

One healer, two defenders, and eight fighters; Jai's summons had formed a solid configuration of elite summons where each complements the other, making it very difficult to deal with.

In just a matter of minutes, Jai's 11 metallic humanoids were able to rip apart Emery's hundreds of Mineralized Warriors, destroying nearly half of them.

Still, wanting to defeat Jai at his own game, Emery quickly cast [Mineralized Warrior] and summoned more warriors at his maximum capacity. Within seconds, hundreds of Mineralized Warriors emerged from the ground.

When he finished, Emery's gaze was completely filled with his summons. A congregation of Mineralized Warriors standing in front of him. Including the ones from the previous summon, there were 200 Type 1s that possessed 55 battle power, and 50 Type 2 which had 80 battle power.

At the end of his time on the planet Andora, Emery only managed to create and maintain 200 Mineralized Warriors at the same time. Now that he underwent another upgrade, he was able to create this many while still being able to spare 30% of his spirit pool just in case.

Of course, this number of summons was not something to be underestimated, and the audience understood this fact. Expectations sparked in their eyes, as the army of Mineralized Warriors once again clashed with the metallic humanoid squad.

The two defenders that Jai had conjured, who played a huge part in the previous confrontation with their towering and sturdy bodies that seemed indestructible, quickly tried to stem the attackers like before.

Alas, the number of enemies they had to take on was simply too much. Thanks to that, several Mineralized Warriors managed to slip through the defenders and attacked the metallic fighters.

Soon enough, a few metallic fighters were destroyed by being ganged up and the lone healer started to get overwhelmed.

If the situation continued like this, the metallic humanoids would definitely lose.

However, as if he was unaware of the situation, their summoner still had a confident smile on his face. Seeing such a reaction from his opponent, Emery did not relax. He was sure the man still had something up his sleeve.

Moments later, his hunch was proven correct.

"Good! Very good indeed!" Taking out more metal balls, Jai smiled at Emery and said, "Don't worry! It's just starting to warm up!"

Three metal balls floated in the air before starting to transform like their predecessors. One expanded and transformed into a slender humanoid figure, an extra healer while the other two transformed the same as metallic fighters but instead of two human-like legs, they had eight long, spider-like legs.

"Now you shall try to fight my knights!"

The two spider-like metallic humanoids shot forward at Jai's command. They moved at a speed that was twice faster than the wolves – Type 2 Mineralized Warrior, a standard that was comparable to the privileged acolytes' speedsters.

Within seconds, they managed to destroy dozens of Mineralized Warriors who surrounded the metallic fighters and healer, giving room for the second healer to start doing its job. Emery's Mineralized Warriors quickly tried to surround the two metallic knights, but they were powerless against the latter's superior speed.

As a result, the metallic fighters who had fallen earlier were revived by the healers. Then, to Emery's surprise, the two healers brought out a weapon – a long metal chain, which allowed them to attack from behind the defensive line.

"Amazing!"

Emery was very impressed with Jai's abilities. With merely 14 summons, he was able to fight his 250 Mineralized Warriors.

Inspired by what he saw, Emery summoned more Mineralized Warriors and quickly sent them to the battlefield to replace those who were destroyed. He then passed down a series of orders, causing the warriors to form and fight in a better, more structured formation.

It didn't take Emery long to discover that it would take a lot of control – which he currently lacked – to make the hundreds of Mineralized Warriors fight with the specific timing and discipline he envisioned. Hence, within a few minutes his army was once again destroyed.

Still not giving up, Emery once again summoned his army of Mineralized Warriors, which caused Jai to raise his arm in the air to reveal the oversized bracelet there, showing the glowing green crystal within.

"If you're thinking of depleting my spirit pool, think again. This baby of mine is the best charger for my boys." A smile on his face, he continued, "It will allow them to fight non-stop for an entire day, something I'm sure not even your unique spirit pool will be able to match."

Emery believed the man's words; however, he had thought of another way to fight them.

Apart from the 250 Mineralized Warriors he summoned, he still had one more fighter at his disposal.

Himself.

[Immortal Gate - stage 6]

[Fey Transformation]

[Night Transformation]

With most of his spirit pool used to maintain the 250 Mineralized Warriors, Emery would have to use his raw physical strength in order to support them. Hence the transformations.

Emery, who had transformed into a dark-furred wolf, shot forward. He arrived and grabbed one of the metallic defenders in an instant, before mustering all the strength he had to slam the summon into the ground. A huge crater formed while the defender itself broke into pieces.

Hooowwwllll–

The sight of Emery instantly taking down the stout defender sparked reactions from the crowd, but Jai still had a confident smile on his face. Under Emery's predatory gaze, he took out his last metal ball.

It quickly expanded and began transforming. Four human-like limbs formed as it grew past the height of a normal human and reached the two and a-half meter mark. As its head began to form, wings made of metal sprouted on its back.

In the next second, Emery saw its figure disappear and his instincts warned him of an impending attack. He managed to bring his hands together before a strong impact struck his body, causing a grunt to escape from his mouth.

Jai's voice rang in the air.

"I introduce you to my guardian queen!"

Emery was inwardly shocked by the power of the summons his opponent summoned. Prior to this fight, he had never thought that there would be a summons capable of stopping his 400 battle power.

Howwwwlll!!!

The dark fur figure pushed back screaming "Not Strong Enough!", as he was able to overpower the so-called guardian queen and grab both of its hands ready to split it apart.

But then, suddenly another 3-meter humanoid appeared behind him.

"Another one!?"

Before Emery could do anything, it threw a punch so powerful that it instantly made him vomit blood. The attack also forced him to release his grip on the guardian queen.

"Argh!"

As his body was flung aside, Emery turned his gaze to the humanoid that had just attacked him. Turns out that it wasn't a metallic humanoid, but Jai who was covered in full metal armor he summoned.

Jai smiled and said, "Now you've seen it all; my family! Can you defeat us?"
