Looking at the three powerful figures that were intent on taking him down, Emery knew that he couldn't hold back anything. That said, he immediately brought out everything he got.

The surrounding air trembled, and a flurry of multicolored energy burst out of his body as he unleashed every buff and skill in his repertoire.

HOWLLLL!!!

The faces of the three magus changed as they felt a sudden explosive increase in the aura Emery emitted, especially when they saw the form he had transformed into.

"Half-blood! Both of you, attack together!" shouted the leader of the three.

Right away, adhering to the order they received, the figures of the bald man and woman disappeared as they shot towards Emery. The latter were holding a pair of razor-sharp daggers, while the former gripped a huge hammer in his hand.

Seeing the two incoming attacks, Emery immediately fought back. To stop them, he had to use both swords in his hands; with Lightsaber in his right and Savage Sword in his left, two distinct mesmerizing lights manifested as the attacks were parried beautifully.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

The five weapons clash, creating a spark and booming noises. With his high battle power and adept swordsmanship, Emery managed to deal with the attacks of the two. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to feel relieved because the two magus weren't just fighting with weapons.

The female magus pierced her pair of daggers on the floor. In the next instant, a tremendous surge of ice elemental energy erupted and froze Emery's feet to the ground.

At the same time, a dazzling light appeared as the bald man made a 360-degree horizontal spin with a loud bang, sending the huge hammer in his grasp at breakneck speed. With his legs immobilized and the speed with which the hammer moved, Emery could only watch as it hit him squarely in the chest.

BAMMMM!!!

Emery felt like he had lost his breath the moment the hammer landed. The momentum it was carrying was enough to forcibly break him out of the ice shackles and send him hurtling backward.

When his legs steadied again, a groan of pain escaped his mouth and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Despite the excruciating pain on his chest, Emery quickly regained his composure and readied himself for the follow-up attack. However, contrary to his expectations, the two magus didn't immediately strike again and instead inched closer to him in a cautious manner.

p<anda> Unlike the ones Emery had fought against, these magus were evidently much more cautious. Not only that, they seemed to have much better cooperation with each other, which naturally made them even more difficult to deal with.</anda>

The gears in Emery's brain rapidly moved while the two magus continued to gradually draw closer, one step at a time. He knew that he had to take the initiative if he wanted to stand a chance.

A moment later, not wanting the flow of the battle to be dictated by his opponents, Emery gathered his spirit energy into his Savage Blade and threw his most powerful [Shadow Edge] at the female magus, forcing her to retreat. Meanwhile, his figure shot forward towards the bald man.

The two swords of contrasting affinity in his hands moved, crossing each other in harmony, and bombarded the bald magus with an onslaught.

CLANK CLANK CLANK!

After launching half a dozen strikes in a matter of seconds, Emery shot his sword upwards and brought it down with peerless momentum, unleashing [Omega Strike] upon the magus.

A deafening sound boomed through the air as the hammer clashed with the powerful attack. Despite being blocked, it was enough to force the man off balance, whereupon Emery quickly ducked and swooped another attack in for his real target – the bald man's leg.

Swisshhh

However, before he could connect the attack, Emery caught a glimpse of an object shooting toward him out of the corner of his eye.<sub></sub>

Realizing that it would hit him at the same time his sword landed on the bald man, Emery decided not to risk it and backed away. Even so, he grunted in irritation because the sneak attack cost him the opportunity to injure the bald magus.

Suppressing his annoyance, Emery looked at the object that ambushed him. It was a high tier ball of metal, which quickly made him realize that the magus named Wilf was a metal element user, and apparently a long-range fighter.

Two melee combat and one long range – a well-rounded team, composed of all magus at that; it was plain to see that Emery's chances of winning this battle dropped much lower upon this realization.

Realizing the current situation was against him, Emery decided to take a step back. Since Otto's efforts to stop the stargate were of paramount importance, Emery lowered his weapon – did not put them away, and tried to buy time once again.

"Senior Wilf, you have been at the frontline all this time. Are you fully aware of what your Principal is doing? Do you actually condone what that man did?"

The white hair man didn't answer the question immediately. In fact, Emery noticed a slight change in the other party's expression before his question was answered.

"I am a soldier, following the decisions of my leader is my duty."

"No matter how wrong the order is?" Noticing the change in mood, Emery decided to push his chances further. "Are you set to betray the alliance and harm the 30 million innocent lives one the planet for the sake of a few?"

Instead of answering, the man turned the question back with a half smile on his face.

"Then let me ask you…. If the alliance made an unfavorable decision to your world, would you still follow the guidelines of the alliance or would you defend your people's belief to the end?"

The question surprisingly struck deep, becoming something to ponder in his head.

If the alliance decided to be in favor of the Kronos faction, would he lower his head and accept the alliance's decision? Would he still follow the alliance guideline then?

Taking a deep breath, Emery looked at the magus and said,

"Senior, you are one of the strongest individuals among your people, it's your duty to lead them through adversity to the best of your abilities, and that includes stopping them from creating their own demise… so my answer is… I will not choose either path but only what I believe to be the right one"

The man appeared a little surprised with Emery's answer and then, he said, "You are not wrong young acolyte, however, it's still my duty to stop you first… Again, stand down and I promise you I will talk some sense to the Principal about this matter."

It was certainly a good offer that might have ended this trouble. However, there was too much at stake to believe the words of someone he had just met.

With that said, Emery took a step back which placed him inside the science lab before saying, "Sorry, but unfortunately I can't do that, senior." Not waiting for an answer, he immediately cast [Aegis of the Void], closing access to the lab.

The magus of course quickly attacked the barrier he created, trying to destroy it. But with him channeling spirit energy constantly, the spell should be able to hold out for a while.

Approaching the minister, Emery said, "Are you still not done, minister?"

Otto, however, turned to look at him saying, "..I'm sorry. Apparently, I have lost my access… the principal must have found out what I am trying to do… There's nothing I can do from here."

A dumbfounded expression appeared on Emery's face when he heard that. But before he could say anything to the man, the metal ceiling above him was suddenly torn apart. A ferocious gale immediately swept over as all the air inside the room rushed into space, dragging Emery and Otto with it.

Emery was sucked into a vacuum of space and he must now fight the magus in it.
