Earth's Greatest Magus

Inside the dark, open space, two figures of completely different stature could be seen together. The smaller figure appeared to be doing its best to please the bigger figure, as one could see the latter nodding its head at the former's words.

It took Emery more than a dozen dragon ass-kissing words, as well as all of his prepared treats to calm the dragon down.

After making sure the dragon had completely calmed down, without further ado, Emery once again picked a corner in the open space, sat down in the lotus form and began feeling the Khaos energy that flowed through his surroundings.

Not long after, Emery could feel the thick spirit aura gradually entering his body in a rapid manner. Feeling the familiar sensation, he swiftly directed it towards his spirit core and filled its entirety.

At the moment, Emery sat staunchly, while his mind was in full concentration mode, channeling all the spirit energy that flowed into his core to all of the nerve points of his body.

This time, Emery was truly committed, as he vowed he would focus on nothing and think nothing other than his cultivation.

Faint glimmers of lights could be seen all around Emery's body, as his spirit force gradually increased in a slow and steady manner.

…

[Spirit force increased]

[Spirit force increased]

The wonderful train of notifications in his mind motivated Emery to continue and persist on what he was doing at the moment. He kept his eyes closed, while his thoughts were focused on cultivation.

…

[Spirit force increased]

[Spirit force increased]

Emery opened his eyes, as another notification appeared in his mind. A faint smile could be seen on his face as he thought of his gain.

A total of 4 spirit forces increased within one week. With him fully concentrating on absorbing the Khaos energy, Emery managed to exponentially increase his rate of improvement.

After filling his stomach with the supplies he had brought, Emery once again fell into a meditative state.

…

[Spirit force increased]

[Spirit force increased]

…

[Battle power increased]

After two weeks of constant cultivation, Emery was finally able to reach the milestones he had set for himself, which was an increase of 8 spirit forces.

Without further ado, he swiftly checked the symbol on his hand to see his current stats. In an instant, a familiar window appeared in his mind.

[Emery Ambrose]

[Battle Power : 50 (35)]

[Spirit Force : 225 (150)]

[Plant Spirit – Mid-Foundation]

[Water Spirit – Mid-Foundation]

[Earth Spirit – Mid-Foundation]

[Spirit Core of Darkness – Stage 4]

[Fey Bloodline – Rank 3]

[Acolyte Rank: 7]

Emery could clearly feel that with his current situation, where he once again had 150 spirit force, his dark core could pump a out stronger force, which automatically translated into stronger spells.

Two weeks worth of sitting caused Emery to assume he would receive severe cramps when he tried to move, but no such a thing happened which was good. Immediately after getting up, Emery tried to cast his Tier 4 spells.

He drove all the spirit energy in his dark core into its maximum and channeled it into one of his arms, as he was casting the spell.

[Dark Matter - Tier 4 Darkness Spell]

In an instant, fogs of shadow swiftly materialized before they coalensed into a pure black energy sphere that floated above his palm.

Afterwards, Emery gave his best to maintain its current form while trying to compress it into the smallest size he could possibly do at the moment. This was because the more the spell was compressed, the stronger it would become.

The fluctuations the spell caused obviously piqued Killgragah as it eyed Emery, or rather, the shrinking sphere on his hand with interest.

"That looks like one strong Dark Matter spell, kid." the dragon commented. "Hahaha… I told you this cultivation path was the best for you and now you can see by yourself how correct my words were."

Moments later, Emery was no longer able to compress the spell, which could either mean the spell had already reached its peak or he wasn't strong enough to push it further. Seeing that, Killgragah told him to throw the spell at it, as the dragon wanted to test its prowess directly.

Hearing that, Emery was naturally glad, as he also had the same intention to test the spell.

"Alright! Get ready!"

Since it was a short to medium range spell, Emery dashed towards the dragon, before pushing the sphere when he reached a distance of a few steps away from it.

The black sphere rapidly shot through the air towards the dragon. But then, unlike Emery's expectation, the sphere immediately disappeared into nothingness the moment it reached one step away from the dragon.

The spell couldn't even touch the latter, much less hurt it.

"Still far from being useful, that spell..." Killgragah commented with a sigh, clearly disappointed by the result.

On the other hand, Emery also released his own sigh. It was indeed disheartening to see firsthand that his strongest offensive spell had no effect. However, he didn't wallow in it for long, as he immediately casted his second Tier 4 spell.

Being once again able to cast tier 4 spells, he was much more confident to fight Meave again.

This time, it took Emery quite some time to cast it as it was more complicated than [Dark Matter], because it was a combination spell of three different elements.

Three streams of different elements surged through, before converging in his dark core as Emery's body glowed dark green colour.

[Jade Skin]

The appearance of this particular spell caught Killgragah's interest again, even more than when Emery casted [Dark Matter].

"Alright boy! You are probably not as stupid as I thought!" the dragon said as it watched Emery's body slowly being covered. "Now, go and stand in the middle. Yeah, in front of me."

Upon hearing the instruction, Emery instantly knew what the dragon intended to do.

"I am in trouble am I?"
