Earth's Greatest Magus

Emery had used a quarter of his Celestial Essence on the new seeds.

Looking at the little creatures running about in the garden, he couldn't help but feel that it might have been a waste of the valuable ingredient. Even after observing them for a while, the 30 new Chizpur creatures still showed no changes other than losing their chubby shape.

But on a different note, he got to experiment with the essence thoroughly and was able to confirm that it was safe to be used on plant creatures.

With all the information he had discovered, Emery took out another oz of the Celestial Essence and began to concoct another batch.

Hours later he ended up with ten Masterpiece-quality Metamorph Potions with 110% potency strength.

Looking at the row of completed potions, a broad smile appeared on Emery's face.

"All right, let's try one first."

He proceeded to sit in the lotus position. With a gesture of his hand, one of the potions was pulled out of the batch and slowly floated toward Twik. When it arrived in front of the little guy, the lid that sealed the potion bottle opened on its own.

Following his guidance, the potion flowed out of the bottle and approached the small body of Twik. Emery then used his [Nature Grasp] as multiple root-like strings of spirit energy entered the plant's body, all of them connecting to the tiny golden core in Twik's chest.

After that, he immediately cast the [Photosynthesis] spell to finally begin the long-awaited metamorph reaction.

However, how things were going was clearly different from its predecessors; as soon as the spell entered his body, Twik instantly showed an intense reaction. His small body began to tremble on its own.

The Metamorph Potion and the spell had indeed synergized with each other and rapidly built up spirit energy within Twik's core. However, the converging swirl of spirit energy seemed not sufficient.

It took Emery a second to realize that the potion synchronizing with the spell was not powerful enough. Without a moment of doubt, he simultaneously threw two more potions at the rooted plant.

When the two Metamorph potions seeped into Twik's body, Emery's face changed as he could feel the balance rapidly shifting. Now, it was his Photosynthesis spell that lacked strength, forcing Emery to use all the energy in his dual core for the little creature.

Even the little plant creatures that were running around fell silent at one point. All of them were watching intently what was happening.

...

Hours had passed since it started and the effects of the Metamorph Potions were starting to fade off, but even so, the metamorphosis process was still not complete. Realizing this, Emery quickly threw another two to the rooted creature, fueling the process once more. He was so immersed that he didn't notice his body was drenched in his own sweat.

"Kuang... ku-kuang..."

"Hold on, Twik"

His words of comfort didn't lessen the pain, but they were enough for the plant creature to continue holding on with all its strength as long as possible.

Looking at Twik's appearance, Emery couldn't help but worry.

At the same time, he became more determined. No matter what, he couldn't allow his buddy's struggle to be in vain.

After a few more hours passed, the core finally seemed to have built up spirit energy to its maximum. As soon as it was filled to the brim, a golden glow enveloped Twik's entire body and brightened the surrounding area.

With Spirit Reading, Emery was able to sense the spirit power within Twik's body beginning to rise at an unprecedented speed; and at the same time, with [Analyze] he could clearly see the changes taking place.

[Flora Colossi - stage 7]

[Legendary creature level 90]

[Creature just gained another level...]

[Legendary creature level 91]

[Creature just gained another level...]

With the increase in level, Emery was feeling excited inwardly since it meant that he had done something right.

Although it was consuming a lot of his spirit energy, Emery has to hold on. He started to consume his [Spirit Pill Potion] to replenish his depleted spirit energy, while at the same time giving Twik more of the [Metamorph Potion].

[Creature just gained another level...]

The last time Twik increased to the next stage was with the help of the Primordial Wisp's offspring, hence it was no wonder it required an enormous amount of spirit energy to complete this next stage of metamorphosis.

What Emery didn't expect was how Twik's metamorph process was such an exhausting activity. In fact, he would not have been able to continue this long had it not been for the [Nature Grasp] spell, and the fact that he was currently in one of the richest places with nature spirit energy.

[Legendary creature level 99]

Twik's level had already increased nine-time, but the process still didn't seem to be ending anytime soon. At this point, all ten Masterpiece-quality Metamorph Potions had gone except one.

Gritting his teeth, Emery just threw the last [Metamorph Potion] toward Twik. He could only hope this last one would be enough as he couldn't let go to create more at the moment. Instinctively, he knew this was the most crucial moment.

"Just a little bit more Buddy!"

An hour after, Emery was already at the end of the line, if he didnt let go, his core might be getting a serious injury. However, it was also at that moment that Emery's eyes lit up with joy while a wide smile emerged on his lips.

An emergence of spirit power!

[Flora Colossi is evolving to the next stage]

Just when he thought it was over, the energy that previously filled Twik's core was spreading out throughout its body making changes.

Emery saw glowing green runes appear, followed by Twik's root body that started to gradually enlarge. A sign that Twik was evolving to the next stage.

Unfortunately, it was followed by a demand for more energy, one that he can't give anymore.

In a panic, he started to look for help elsewhere.

"Maybe ... maybe I should ask Magus Shena outside... But she has no affinity for plant elements."

Not receiving any energy supply for a while, what happened next was that Twik began to forcefully draw Emery's energy.

The sudden situation caught him off-guard and to Emery's surprise, the plant creature hurriedly pushed him away.

"Twik, what's going on?!"

Twik's body started to change as its roots moved and pierced the ground beneath. It then grew so quickly and thickly, filling up the garden to the point of entangling the other little creatures as well.

"Ku ku! Ku ku!"

The situation has abruptly turned for the worse, but Emery who was pushed to the ground unable to do much with his entire spirit pool consumed.

In such chaos, Emery hurriedly sat back to the lotus position and once again repeated his connection to the cave with his [Nature Grasp]. Not just to regain his spirit energy but also to probe the disaster that was emerging in front of his eyes.

At the center of the previous energy turbulence, Twik stood still like a tree. Through [Nature Grasp], Emery could feel his roots keep growing and spreading across the entire cave like a wave of locust.

All the little creatures, although entangled, appear to be unharmed. Then suddenly, Emery could sense rich nature energy flowing through them.

At that moment, he could only assume that Twik was absorbing the spirit cave's natural energy for itself, and even channeling it to the other plant creatures

Knowing that there was not much else he could do, Emery decided to give the current situation some time, monitoring closely how it would develop.

The situation left him both anxious and hopeful.
