Chapter 1117: 1118 Celestial

Emery's consciousness returned and he was awakened with a vigorous body, as well as lots of questions in his mind.

After spending some time recollecting his thoughts and bearing, Emery stood up and approached the figure who was currently leisurely sitting on the dead body of a Mythical creature.

"Elder.. What just happened?" He asked the female grand magus.

Hearing the question, the grand magus smiled as she said, "We managed to break open one of the remaining celestial soul shards. It was buried behind a pocket of space, and you young acolyte… your proficiency in space magic help me and contribute a lot in this endeavor."

When she saw the confused look on Emery's face still remain, Grand Magus Lilith gave a brief explanation about how Hyperion was a planet that formed through an ancient battle between celestial beings.

Apparently, there were hundreds of shards like the one they had broken through. These remnants of celestials were hidden deep within the planet's core area that were only accessible to authorized personnel.

Emery recalled that he had heard half of this story from Magus Ramona in the past, and this was evidently the other half which was also the secret behind the mist.

It turned out that the land of gray sands he had spent a few weeks on was just one of the many scattered across the planet.

Next, Emery asked the female grand magus about his unexpected advancement, wondering if the latter had an idea of it. Instead of answering his question with words, Grand Magus Lilith instead showed him a small glass jar. A shimmering black liquid could be seen within it.

"This liquid here is a Celestial Essence, extracted from the celestial that we have uncovered earlier. I gave some to you while you were unconscious just now, and luckily your Rank 8 bloodline was able to accept and assimilate it."

Emery's gaze immediately focused on the glass jar. He had heard about it, as Celestial Essence was considered one of the rarest materials for apothecary in the universe.

At the same time, Emery was taken aback by the words Grand Magus Lilith spoke. He was dumbfounded by the word 'luckily' she had said.

It showed her lack of concern for his well-being, since she didn't seem to think about the possible consequences if his body was unable to assimilate the essence. It was the same apathy she showed when she forced him to the brink of literal death in order to break the crystal.

Seemingly noticing Emery's change in mood, the grand magus suddenly threw the glass jar containing the Celestial Essence at him. Despite being caught off guard by the abrupt action, he reacted swiftly and caught it into his hands.

"That's a portion for your troubles" Grand Magus Lilith said, seeing Emery's confused look. "Just do both of us a favor and don't mention this to King Alduin or any of the academy officials."

Hearing such words, Emery couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Unexpectedly, an annoyed expression appeared on the grand magus' face as she said, "Huh.. You are not very bright, aren't you?" She then took a round of deep breath and heaved it out before saying, "I did just tell you that only authorized magus can harvest this, right..? So… we, or rather I, are not exactly authorized to.."

Emery was startled when he learned this vital information. Such things could give him trouble with the academy, and with him already consuming essence he might not be able to get away with it.

On the other hand, Emery couldn't help but be mesmerized by the sparkling black liquid in his hand.

A drop of this precious rare ingredient was able to create wonders to many recipes, and its potency was proven by the changes it had brought to his mutated bloodline. Even now, Emery could clearly feel the overwhelming strength flowing through his entire body.

In the end, Emery just heaved a sigh as he accepted the situation he was in. He swiftly stored the glass jar away in his Spatial Space and tried to stop thinking about it anymore.

Seeing Emery's decision, a smile appeared on Grand Magus Lilith's face. She stood up from the dead body she was sitting on and walked over towards him. Once again, Emery felt her gaze probed into him.

"I see you have progressed well.. I think you are ready."

"Ready?"

Grand Magus Lilith smiled wickedly as she leaned her face closer to his and whispered, "I want you… to beat up Zach." Her eyes staring straight at him, the grand magus said, "Can you do that?"

Instinctively, Emery pulled his face away from the female magus. At the same time, he was startled. He really couldn't tell whether the words the other party spoke were serious and what she really wanted.

Before he could contemplate anything, Emery suddenly sensed a figure at the edge of his Spirit Reading range, dashing towards them from the distant horizon. It only took him a moment to realize that it was the dragon protege himself.

At this, Grand Magus Lilith turned her head towards where the Dragon protege was coming from and simply chuckled. "Here he comes.."

Zach descended from the sky and threw a brief glance at Emery before giving respect to his master.

On the other hand, Grand Magus Lilith only looked at the Dragon protege for a second before throwing her gaze away. "Huh! One month, and still no progress." She remarked. "I think I have chosen the wrong disciple."

The Grand Magus walked away from the two of them saying, "No more sparring. I want results right now." Stopping a distance away, she looked at them and continued, "I want to know which one of you is champion, and which one is trash."

Emery looked at Zach who was currently staring at him with a cold gaze. Without saying a single word, the Dragon protege drew the large sword on his back and pointed its tip towards him.

Surprisingly this time he received a notification on his privileged bracelet and found out that this time Zach had sent him a formal challenge.

[You have been challenges for a duel]

[Rank 4 - Zach Talon]

A formal challenge meant that Zach no longer thought of this as friendly spar. After all, in this setup, even if one were to be seriously injured, there would be no consequence for the winning party.

Seeing the Dragon protégé's cold gaze and the emotions hidden within, Emery decided what he thought was appropriate in the current situation.

"Yes"

Once again, the wolf was about to clash with the dragon.
