Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1713 Last Stand
The cavern's ambiance swiftly shifted from eerie silence to an unsettling cacophony. As the Driders swarmed in, they found themselves equally targeted by these aggressive spider creatures. The scene was chaotic, with both sides forced into combat against these creatures since their escape route was sealed.
While the smaller Driders were somewhat manageable, the appearance of the [Phantom Drider] changed the game. This larger creature's presence seemed to bring order and coordination to the spider horde, hinting at a deeper intelligence.
Emery has taken the risk into consideration. He figured that with a higher number, the dark elves would naturally draw more attention from the Driders. Looking to tip the odds even more in their favor, Emery sought out his comrade, Atlas.
Finding Atlas amid the tumult, Emery quickly moved to his side. As the limping half-machine magus clambered onto Emery's back, the latter took out a special egg they had acquired. Cracking it open, Emery doused a group of pursuing elves with the egg's contents.
The liquid emitted a distinct aroma, which had an immediate effect on the [Phantom Drider]. Drawn to the scent, the creature lunged at the now-marked elves with newfound vigor.
Caught off guard, the group of nine dark elves rallied together. Each showcased their unique magical abilities, attempting to fend off the Driders that now threatened to overwhelm them. In their focused efforts to combat the [Phantom Drider], they inadvertently became more vulnerable to Emery's subsequent moves.
With the battlefield ensnared in a web of chaos, Emery, bearing the weight of Atlas on his back, seized the moment to engage the dark elves. Harnessing the agility bestowed by his [Bloodhound Steps], he weaved effortlessly through the skirmish. A vulnerable dark elf caught his eye, and within moments, Emery had downed him and left another grievously injured – the latter left to the merciless designs of the spider creatures.
"Seven more to go!" he mentally tallied.
As Emery adjusted his tactics, Kieran's quickly discerned the human's intentions. Without a moment's hesitation, he rallied his team, formulating a counterstrategy on the fly. He divided his forces with precision: one group was tasked to deal with the immense threat posed by the [Phantom Drider], while the others, swifter and more agile, zeroed in on Emery with murderous intent.
As Kieran's strategy was set into motion, an enigmatic Dunmer mage stepped forward, weaving an incantation that rapidly transformed the battleground. The already dim chamber grew even darker, engulfed by an abyssal void that seemed to consume everything. The atmosphere became oppressive, sucking away sound, smell, and air. The resultant silence was not just an absence of noise; it was a palpable force, pressing down on everyone present. The pre-existing gravitational anomalies only exacerbated the situation, further dampening their already limited spiritual perceptions.
While the sudden void put most at a disadvantage, the dark elves thrived. They moved seamlessly, demonstrating the eerie prowess of the Hashashi Assassins. Their movements were fluid, graceful, yet deadly in the disorienting gloom. It was evident to Emery that the elves had honed this strategy over countless battles, giving them a significant upper hand in these conditions.
But Emery had tricks of his own. Drawing upon his affinity with nature, he summoned a sprawling network of roots. These roots didn't just anchor him to the ground; they became an extension of his senses, granting him a unique awareness of his surroundings.
Using this unconventional sight, Emery danced around the dark elves, deftly evading their blades and spells. The roots allowed him to sense their approach, giving him just enough time to counter or retreat, always searching for that brief moment to retaliate.
However, even with his enhanced awareness, Emery could see the balance tipping in favor of the dark elves. The once teeming horde of Driders was now significantly diminished, their numbers waning with each passing moment. Even the formidable [Phantom Drider] appeared to be on its last legs, its movements growing sluggish from numerous injuries.
Recognizing the desperate situation, Emery's resolve solidified. Instead of retreating, he charged, choosing a high-risk, high-reward approach. Each clash was a whirlwind of motion, Emery trading blow for blow with his opponents. Although this aggressive tactic resulted in more wounds for him, his unyielding spirit drove him forward, ensuring that each injury he sustained was matched by damage he dealt to the enemy.
Amidst the chaos, Kieran emerged as Emery's most formidable foe. Every time Emery tried to gain the upper hand, Kieran's light blade would flash, slicing through the air and Emery's defenses with equal ease. It was a dance of blades and spells, and with every wound Emery sustained, it seemed the dark elves were inching closer to victory.
Atlas, the half-machine Magus, wasn't one to stand idle while Emery faced overwhelming odds. Weighing the situation, he calculated the most effective way to turn the tables. With a swift motion, he disengaged from Emery's back, burning every ounce of his remaining energy, and cast his most powerful spell [Flare Tempest].
A torrent of brilliant flames surged forth, illuminating the entire chamber and consuming everything in its path. The Dunmer elf, who had cast the debilitating void spell earlier, was caught in the fiery maelstrom, reduced to mere ashes within seconds.
However, in war, moments of triumph are often fleeting. Just as the roaring flames began to subside, a chilling scene unfolded. Kieran, seizing the opportunity, swiftly approached Atlas. With a precise swing of his luminescent blade, he cleaved the Magus in two.
The sickening sound of metal and flesh being torn apart echoed in the chamber:
CRAAACKK.
Emery's heart dropped. His roar of anguish and despair resonated in the chamber, "No!!!" Rushing over, he cradled the remains of his dear friend, the weight of the moment heavy on his shoulders.
With the death of the Dunmer spellcaster, the void that had blanketed the chamber dissipated, revealing the harrowing aftermath. Bodies lay strewn everywhere – human, drider, and elf alike. Only Kieran and three of dark elves remained standing, seemingly triumphant amidst the devastation.
Emery cast a somber gaze upon Atlas. The once formidable half-machine Magus now trembled with evident malfunction. Tenderly, Emery whispered promises of vengeance to his fallen comrade, "I'll take care of the rest of them for you." Without hesitation, he hoisted the damaged Atlas onto his back, ensuring he was secured.
Kieran, the dark elf leader, seemed to relish the scene, despite his evident exhaustion. Catching his breath, a smile of twisted satisfaction crept onto his lips. "You've been quite the thorn in our side, human," he said with a mocking tone. "Tell me your name, so I may ensure your human allies learn of your brave end."
Emery's response was filled with defiance, "That's a generous offer, but you won't need it, It is you who will not leave this place."
The odds were undoubtedly against Emery. four on one, and each of the dark elves was a half-moon magus. A power, not even a full-moon human magus could hope to challenge.
However Emery's new confidence didnt come only from rage, but also from the fact that just a few seconds ago, he has finally sensed the presence of the entity within him.
"You show up too late," Emery murmured, seemingly to himself.
The cryptic words puzzled Kieran and his magus cohorts. Their confusion only deepened as a grin formed on Emery's face. "You must be hungry?" Emery addressed the entity inside him. "Feast upon the three, but leave the scarred one to me."
What happened next was a sight none present would ever forget. As Emery charged forth with renewed energy, massive tentacle-like arms sprouted from him, catching the dark elves off guard. One by one, they found themselves ensnared, being pulled inexorably towards Emery's chest.
Kieran watched in horror, his voice rising in disbelief. "What is this!! what are you!!?!"
As the third elf was on the verge of being consumed, Kieran, displaying his immense skill, managed to slice through the tentacle with his blade of radiant light. But Emery was relentless. He descended upon the momentarily freed dark elf, crushing him beneath his heel and delivering a fatal blow with his own claws.
Within moments, the once daunting group was reduced to one: Kieran.
Emery, with a blend of fatigue and resolve evident in his eyes, squared off against his final adversary. "Now, it's just you and me," he declared, each word underpinned with an iron will.
He lunged at Kieran with unprecedented ferocity, and as he did, the dormant spirit of the Khaos guardian rumbled to life within him. This ethereal entity amplified Emery's magical prowess manifold, allowing him to execute a combined spell. The sheer intensity and complexity of Emery's spellcraft left Kieran struggling to parry and counter.
However, even in the face of such overwhelming force, Kieran maintained his composure. "You truly are full of surprises. My interest in you has only deepened, human. Whatever power you possess, I desire it." With those words, and before Emery could react, Kieran invoked a spell, vanishing into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
Stunned, Emery gazed at the spot where Kieran had just stood. Recognition dawned upon him "Spatial magic?!"
