Chapter 819: It's Alright

A smash from the warden's flaming whips was more than enough to turn Emery's dark roots into ashes within a matter of seconds.

The group of blazing whips flew around and moved at unpredictable angles as if they were alive.

Emery noticed the form of a snake beast within the whip, he quickly guessed the serpent formed came from either a high-rank spell or the magus bloodline innate skill.

Either way, Emery's [Shadow Binding Root] was not able to go toe to toe against the magus' spells. He decided to place the girl's body on the ground, before kneeling and touching the ground with his hand. With a loud rumble a wall covered in a faint green glow rose all around him, before expanding and covering both of them.

[Jade Wall]

The glowing stone slab was able to stop the flaming whips, moments before the whips were about to hit Emery.

Baammm! Bamm!

Even with the increase of spell power from the [Day Transformation] ability, each strike of the warden's flame whips was still strong enough to create noticeable cracks on the green stone wall.

Of course, Emery had expected this, after all, his opponent was a magus and a half-blood kind at that. This guy should be at the same level or, perhaps, even stronger than Hades.

Bammm! Bammm!

With one hand, Emery channeled more spirit energy to the [Jade Wall] to fix and reform the wall, while his other hand still hovered over Gennette. He was using his nature core to continuously channel [Nature's Blessing] into the girl.

"Just a little more…" Emery muttered under his breath, as he perceived the state of her inner body.

Unknown to him, however, the warden outside was pissed. For a rank 8 acolyte to be able to hold the attacks of a half-blood full-fledged magus was certainly an embarrassment for the warden, especially with his subordinates watching everything unfold.

Unwilling to let this go on any longer, the warden finally decided not to hold back and proceeded to unleash his second element.

The flaming whip turned into a metal chain within a second, before the next moment a flash of light ignited it from within. The warden swung his whips downwards and cast his strongest attack, [Molten Serpent], turning the metal whip into a glowing, melted metal mass.

The whip didn't just smash through the [Jade Wall] Emery had created, it quickly wrapped itself around the wall and melted it down much more rapidly than Emery could repair it.

It didn't take long for the terrifying heat to start seeping inside. Emery quickly realized he only had a few seconds left before the wall was completely destroyed.

He glanced at the girl and whispered, "Wake up!"

Baaammmm!!

A loud boom reverberated in the air, as the [Jade Wall] spell was finally destroyed. The explosion that occurred due to the reaction between the two spells caused the pieces of shattered wall to splatter into burning mud everywhere.

However, as soon as the smoke cleared away, what greeted the warden and his subordinates was not the sight of two burning corpses. Instead, there was nothing among the rubbles, as Emery was no longer inside.

He had cast [Blink] on himself at the last moment.

"Argh! Space magic?!" The warden clicked his tongue and shouted, clearly in rage.

A few hundred meters away outside of the facility, Emery held the girl gently in his arms.

"Gennette, please wake up." He whispered softly.

There was a miraculous moment as the girl's eyes fluttered open and stared at him. "Ah, master… I…Where… "

Emery stared at the girl, but he wasn't feeling relieved at all. Instead, a drop of tear slipped from the corner of his eyes. After all, he knew he had failed.

The girl's human physique was too weak to start with, and from her condition, he could tell her body was on the verge of collapsing. Her physical form right now was only held together by his spell, but she wouldn't be able to last long.

"I am sorry… I caused this."

The girl only gave him a sincere smile, which made Emery's heart ache even more.

"It's… alright… master... Its..."

Before the final words even left her lips, her body had started to crumble, slowly turning into ashes scattered away by the wind.

Emery was silent, before heaving a deep sigh that couldn't describe his current emotions. His heart was in pain, she had lost her life because of him.

However, in the next second, the warden and the other saint guard had arrived.

"Don't you dare escape! Surround him!" The warden shouted as he quickly entangled the molten chain around Emery's body restraining him, so he would not escape again.

Emery had his [Jade Skin] spell activated from the start and although it quickly started to melt, He just stood still, unmoved while watching as the ashes flew away. Now that the girl has died, he had no more reasons to resist capture.

He was ready to surrender.

However, the warden, who had successfully captured him, eyed him in derision and said, "Cih! You're a half blood yourself, why do you care so much about the death of a filthy human?!"

That word made something within Emery rise. The flames of his anger were stoked, he stood up, turned around to glare at the bald magus

"She was a kind girl… and now she's gone."

Emery started to channel his strength, intent on breaking away from the molten chains.

[Immortal Gate - Stage 5]

[Battle power increased by 32 points]

[Battle Power 214 (246)]

The magus could feel the sudden increase of power, and quickly tightened the molten chain to ensure Emery would be unable to escape.

The spell was a strong one and it was cast with the power of magus. Even some magus would have trouble breaking through it, let alone a rank 8 acolyte.

The green layer on Emery's skin started to crumble away, he could feel the burning metal straight in his skin. The attack didn't just hurt him physically but also affected his spirit core. It was definitely the next stage of fire element found by reaching a very high stage in the understanding of the law of fire.

"Urgrghh" Emery was in pain as the burning flame enter his body.

"Tell me who you are!? And why are you here!" The warden shouted.

Emery looked at the warden in sheer disgust and anger. If he wasn't distracted before, if he could focus and heal Gennette slowly, perhaps she might have survived this ordeal.

The bald magus standing in front of him now became the target of his anger. The rage Emery felt added some fuel to the explosion of emotion that built up within.
