Chapter 1835: Arachnids

As two hours passed since the gate had opened, the situation in the guardian chamber had evolved. Now, nearly everyone had the capability and the antidotes to enter the toxic cloud and launch an attack on the massive spider guardian.

The status of the Celestial Arachnids had significantly declined during those hours:

[Celestial Arachnids]

[4,932/10,000]

Emery had been working tirelessly, continuously selling his anti-poison pills. He had even adjusted his prices, lowering them from a medium shard for 20 pills to a single pill for 10 pieces of the tiny shards. This price reduction had proven effective, as he successfully sold a total of 600 pills. In return, he had acquired 35 shards and a pouch filled to the brim with tiny shards.

Emery couldn't help but grin widely as he observed the shiny crystals that now filled his pouch. The rewarding sight was a testament to his shrewd business acumen.

Although he still received the occasional purchase from latecomers who had just entered through the gate, Emery felt that it wasn't worth his time anymore. It was time for him to join the fight, and with newfound resources in hand, he was ready to make his presence felt in the battle against the Celestial Arachnids.

As Emery prepared to join the battle against the Celestial Arachnids, he decided to take a moment to check the rankings. To his surprise, he discovered that he was now ranked 72nd, with a total of 221 points. It was a significant jump in the rankings without even directly engaging with the celestial creatures. His contribution in helping those 600 magus deal with the toxic gas had been recognized as a significant contribution by the ruins. It was a revelation that opened up new possibilities for him.

"This is great!" Emery thought to himself.

With this newfound knowledge, Emery devised a plan to earn more points without risking direct combat with the hundreds of elves in the air. Drawing upon the power of Khaos, he summoned Jade Warriors, clones of himself created from the celestial ruins' earth. These semi-crystalline versions of Emery wielded swords infused with Khaos energy.

He began summoning them in waves—

10 summons

30 summons

50 summons

128 summons

and stop at an impressive 256 Jade Warriors.

While each summons didn't possess the power to match a magus-level creature, they made up for it with sheer numbers and coordination. Their primary objective was to focus on eliminating the swarms of young spiders that threatened the magus.

Emery watched as his army of Jade Warriors descended upon the crystal spiders, engaging them in combat. With their combined strength and strategy, they proved to be a formidable force against the young spiders, working together to thin their numbers and reduce the threat to the magus in the chamber.

His Jade warrior strategy proved to be highly effective. With each passing minute, he managed to eliminate 40 to 50 young celestial spiders, steadily climbing up the rankings.

[Rank 68 - Emery Ambrose - 236 points]

However, Emery was not content with this progress. He knew he could do more to contribute to the battle. With determination, he retrieved his [Rampant Staff] and began using his [Jade Root] technique to help his Jade Warriors. With hundreds of roots helping limit the spider's movement, the jade warriors were able to defeat the spiders even faster.

As a result, his rank began to soar at a much faster rate:

[Rank 57 - Emery Ambrose - 319 points]

[Rank 48 - Emery Ambrose - 454 points]

[Rank 39 - Emery Ambrose - 571 points]

Emery's actions not only increased his point but also played a crucial role in easing the ground battles. With his 258 Jade Warriors supporting the magus on the ground, more of them could now focus their efforts on combating the massive celestial spider in the air. The tide of the battle was slowly turning in their favor, thanks to Emery's relentless efforts and strategic use of his abilities.

Taking a brief moment to study the list of contributors, Emery noticed something remarkable. Half of the top 50 contributors were humans.

[Rank 1 - D'Mal - 748 points]

[Rank 3 - Nael Nephilim - 727 points]

[Rank 8 - Loriel Starwind - 701 points]

[Rank 31 - Zephyr Nephilim -689 points]

[Rank 33 - Uria Alabaster - 685 points]

[Rank 36 - Emery Ambrose - 670 points]

Nael Nephilim, the faith child, continued to mesmerize everyone with his impressive balls of light, showcasing his extraordinary abilities. Alongside him, the two spirit masters, Uria and Zephyr, engaged in a fierce rivalry, each contributing significantly to the battle. 

Emery also notices a group of dark magus who summoned a specter-like creature to attack the celestial spider. Three of these magus of the Oculus faction had managed to reach the top 50 ranks with their formidable abilities.

There was also a notable group of Imperium Techno magus who had set up a massive cannon to blast the massive creature from the ground. Their unconventional approach added diversity to the battle.

Seeing these humans among the top contributors filled Emery with pride and motivation. They were proving that humans could not only hold their own in the magus world but also excel in the face of adversity.

[You have destroyed the Celestial Guardian]

[Rank 34 - Emery Ambrose - 680 points]

[Your current points are: 1,991 (2,671)]

After three grueling hours of battle, the combined efforts of the 3,000 magus had finally paid off. They had managed to defeat the celestial spider guardian, and Emery's impressive contributions had propelled him to rank 34. As a reward, he received four medium cores, adding to his growing collection.

With the guardian vanquished, the gate leading to the fourth layer of the ruins was opened. Just as before, a rush of magus poured into the gate, eager to continue their expedition.

Emery, however, knew better than to let his guard down. He wisely chose to stay close to Zach and his group of enforcers, ensuring that the presence of the dark elves wouldn't lead to any trouble.

Zach directed his concern toward Emery, his tone stern. "Give back the enforcer tracker," he demanded, his focus solely on Emery.

Before Emery could respond, Jinkan arrived on the scene, and Emery seized the opportunity. With a hint of excitement, he spoke up, "Good news, Zach said I can rejoin the expedition."

However, Zach quickly intervened to clarify, his tone still resolute, "That's not what I was saying at all."

Jinkan stepped in to mediate the situation, her voice calm but determined. "The second phase of the ruins has started now, Zach. We will be needing him this time."

The dragon prince remained firm in his position. "No, I don't think that's a good idea."

While the two leaders engaged in a heated debate, they suddenly realized that Emery had opened a portal, leaving them behind with nothing but a faint whisper. "Let's talk again at the next gate."

"Dammit!! He's gone!" Zach exclaimed, his frustration evident in his voice.

Emery had his priorities well-defined as he ventured into the fourth layer of the ruins. While he had initially joined the expedition to assist Jinkan and her faction, the allure of gathering more shards had become impossible to resist. Layer 4 represented the final area for his friends to access the ruins, so Emery aimed to amass as many shards as possible and find the time to hand over some to his Earth friends before delving deeper into the competitive layers.

With these intentions in mind, he once again delved into the enforcer tracker, scouring it for information on rogue magus. His objective was clear: find these rogue elements and use their desperation to extort shards from them.

At this stage, it was increasingly difficult to come across careless rogue bandits. Most of them had taken precautions, were adequately prepared, or possessed hidden cards that bolstered their confidence when attacking other magus. As a result, Emery frequently found himself facing off against more formidable groups of magus. In some cases, the odds were stacked against him, and he had no choice but to stand down, allowing the enforcers to step in and take charge of the situation.

12 hours had passed since Emery had been scouring the fourth layer, exploring various vaults such as the Plant Vaults, Water Vaults, and Earth Vaults. His goal was to acquire more shards to further his mastery of the nature law. Despite his best efforts to remain cautious and discreet, someone had eventually caught on to his patterns and laid a trap.

Now, Emery found himself confronted by a group of 10 rogue magus bandits who had prepared a specialized item called [Spatial Distortion]. This item rendered him incapable of using his spatial magic, leaving him at a disadvantage.

"Finally, we've caught ourselves a big fish," one of the bandits remarked with a sinister laugh.

To Emery's surprise, he sensed the arrival of a group of powerful magus entering the vault, and their energy signatures unmistakably belonged to the elves.
