Chapter 1818: Rank

With the successful creation of the Tier 8 spell by the high elf priestess, a surge of magus rushed into the battle. High elves, dark elves, wood elves, and humans alike all unleashed their most potent spells, bombarding the massive crystal creature. Even with its weakened state, it took nearly half an hour for over 500 magus to chip away at just one-third of the guardian's health points.

[Crystal Basilisk]

[67,880/100,000]

The relentless assault continued. Hundreds of powerful artifacts struck the creature, and a barrage of spells from various elemental affinities rained down upon it. However, the basilisk remained virtually unscathed. No real wounds marred its crystalline form, just superficial scratches on its surface. The magus couldn't be certain of the effectiveness of their efforts, given the lack of visible damage. The declining numbers of magus on the battlefield served as a grim reminder of the basilisk's destructive potential.

The top 100 list of contributions was entirely dominated by elves, with no human magus making the cut. This fact irked Linhao to no end. Despite the Amerhikss prince's losses, his remaining magus couldn't seem to break into the top ranks. Frustration and curses flowed freely from his lips as he pushed his men to perform better.

Emery, in contrast, adopted a more cautious approach in the heat of the battle. He wielded his Tier 6 staff, which enabled him to create multiple jade roots used for restraining the basilisk and cast his nature-combined spells [Ash Blast] and [Dark Tide], from a safe distance.

Emery's focus was divided. He not only targeted the basilisk but also kept an eye on his allies. Using his gravity manipulation abilities, he ensured the safety of fellow magus by pulling them out of harm's way when needed. Additionally, he utilized his roots to shield them from the basilisk's relentless attacks.

His dual role on the battlefield was motivated by a desire to evaluate the strength of the other magus present and, more importantly, to study the formidable creature firsthand. While the Nephilim had provided him with information about the basilisk, Emery's needed to verify those details for himself.

It was at that moment that Jinkan, the girl who always seemed able to read his mind, said, "Have you warmed up enough? Now, show me your worth!"

In response to the challenge, Emery decided to demonstrate his true power. He stowed his staff and initiated his [Twilight Transformation], a formidable ability that led to a notable change in his appearance. Dark fur covered his limbs, while his hair took on a silvery-white hue. A fang-shaped tattoo adorned his face, accentuating his transformation.

The enhancement was evident in the form of numerical notifications:

[Battle Power Increased by 80]

[Battle Power: 430 (510)]

Emery wasn't one to disappoint the princess, and he opted to go all-in with his abilities:

[Immortal Gate - Stage 7]

[Battle Power Increased by 64]

[Paragon's Blessing]

[Battle Power Increased by 50]

[Battle Roar]

[Battle Power Increased by 20]

Emery's body surged with power as he pushed past the limits of any other magus.

[Battle Power: 510 (644)]

With a powerful roar, Emery unleashed his might. However, instead of relying on his claws, he drew forth his newly enhanced weapon, the Tier 6 [Savage Sword]. He began the process of infusing the blade with his dark energy, but this time, it wasn't just his own spirit energy that coursed through the weapon. The essence of Khaos, the source of great power and unpredictability, also merged with the blade.

With his preparations completed, Emery took a deep breath, ready to unleash it in a devastating strike. 

As he lunged toward the Crystal Basilisk, Emery swung the sword down in a swift and calculated motion, letting out a fierce battle cry. The sword cleaved through the air, meeting its target with a resounding impact.

[Omega Strike]

The entire chamber seemed to shudder as the force of the blow sent shockwaves through the air. The Crystal Basilisk let out a piercing scream of pain, its crystalline form finally showing signs of weakness. A crack marred its once-pristine surface, and a silvery liquid oozed from the wounds.

Emery's powerful strike captured the attention of every magus present, human and elf alike. They watched in awe as Emery continued to press his assault, delivering one powerful strike after another.

ROOAARR!!!

The deafening roar of the Crystal Basilisk echoed through the chamber as it writhed in agony. The once-mighty guardian was now facing a formidable adversary, and the battle was far from over.

The colossal creature's aggression was palpable as it swung its massive tail with deadly intent. However, Emery was not an easy target. With a swift incantation, he executed his [Blink] spell, instantly transporting himself to the opposite side of the creature's body. He continued his relentless assault, striking with calculated precision.

Amid the chaos, the Crystal Basilisk prepared to unleash its devastating [Divine Pulse]. Most magus would instinctively retreat to escape the brunt of the attack, but Emery was different. His [Emperor's Focus] shielded him from the full force of the spirit attack, and he remained resolute, displaying an unparalleled level of determination.

Emery continued his relentless assault, hammering the guardian with his dark-enhanced sword. Every strike he delivered further chipped away at the creature's health and resolve.

Although Emery was just one individual among the hundreds of magus engaged in the battle, his impact on the Crystal Basilisk became increasingly evident. His contributions were reflected in the rankings, where his name steadily climbed among the top contributors. 

[Crystal Basilisk]

[32,521/100,000]

As the relentless battle wore on, the combined efforts of the magus chipped away at the guardian's health, successfully reducing it by another 40% within half an hour. Emery had become a prominent name in the rankings.

[Rank 1 - Loriel Starwind - 682 points]

[Rank 9 - Emery Ambrose - 610 points]

[Rank 58 - Uria Alabaster - 493 points]

[Rank 92 - Eeshoo Nephilim - 434 points]

[Rank 97 - Neo - 421 points]

Ten human names now graced the top 100 rankings, and four of them belonged to Jinkan's group. Emery's name had ascended to the top 10. His effective assault wasn't solely attributed to his raw power; rather, his strikes carried the element of darkness, which proved to be highly effective against the Crystal Basilisk. Consequently, the majority of the top 100 rankings were now occupied by dark elven magus.

When the guardian's health plummeted below 30%, the Crystal Basilisk entered a destructive rampage. This sudden escalation of aggression led to the demise of several incautious magus. However, Emery and his team were well-trained and disciplined, responding to the perilous situation with the skill and precision of seasoned warriors.

[Crystal Basilisk]

[1,211/100,000]

In the final half-hour of the relentless battle, the creature's health dwindled to a mere 1%.

[Rank 1 - Loriel Starwind - 1,012 points]

[Rank 2 - Emery Ambrose - 999 points]

Determined to secure the top rank, Emery drew upon the boundless power of Khaos, channeling it into his most precious sword art, the [Shadow Edge] a technique that held deep sentimental value. With a swift and fluid motion, Emery unleashed a torrent of dark energy blades from his new sword, directing them relentlessly at the creature's vulnerable neck. Each blade struck with precision, severing the basilisk's crystalline scales.

As Emery advanced with unwavering determination, the basilisk's crimson blood splattered against the cavern floor. With a single powerful strike, he delivered the final, devastating blow, [Omega Strike] The blade cleaved through the guardian's thick neck, separating its head into two distinct halves.

The chamber was filled with an air of anticipation and awe, and every magus in attendance was captivated by the magnificent sight of Emery standing triumphantly atop the fallen guardian. His momentous contribution to delivering the decisive blows earned him a significant boost in points.

[Rank 1 - Emery Ambrose - 1,015 points]

[Rank 2 - Loriel Starwind - 1,014 points]

Emery's eyes met Jinkan's, silently conveying a single question: "Good enough?"
