Chapter 1052: Devour

Ever since they left the floating island and returned to the spirit cave, Emery had been sitting in his cultivation room. Not moving, in the lotus position.

Not too far from Emery, a figure of a beautiful girl was seen observing him intently.

Similarly, Klea had also been standing guard in the room, watching for any mishaps because she knew the hardships and risks of what Emery was trying to do. Repairing a broken pillar was something that wasn't simple to handle. One mistake, and everything could crumble down.

From what she had researched, failure could bring about a huge setback in one's cultivation, or worse, lose the opportunity to advance to the magus realm forever. Her worry increased when she recalled that Emery's pillar was not the ordinary kind of pillar at all.

It was the variation one, the [Devour] pillar. Still, even though she was worried sick, there was actually nothing Klea could do. She could only place her hope on her man's ability and the fact that Magus Heorgar knew what was best for Emery and his future.

In the end, due to her worry, the girl approached closer and ended up sitting opposite of him. A small distance of one meter separated them two. Because it looked like it was going to take a long time, she quietly went on with her own cultivation.

As the two of them delved into a bottomless abyss called cultivation, outside time passed by like a flash. Before long, a day passed. Then, five days. Eventually, ten days had passed before a sign of movement was detected in the cultivation room.

Emery spent the last 10 days cultivating the foreign energy that had been filling up his broken [Devour] pillar. The deed was anything but easy. His entire body had been drenched in his own sweat while his breath ragged like a dog all these time. However, a smile bloomed on his face because he knew today was the time.

The foreign energy within his body had all gathered and reached its peak, and it was time for him to release it.

In that instant, his dark core trembled while his nature core swiftly followed suit moments later. Emery, whose consciousness fixed on what was going on within his body, could see beams of brilliant light coming out from the Devour pillar.

Following the appearance of light, the cracks that were visible everywhere on the surface of the pillar gradually closed, leaving a flawless surface without any blemish. Excitement grew within Emery as he watched the pillar gradually refine to perfection.

The moment the last crack seen on the pillar disappeared, Emery felt a deluge of powerful energy rushed out causing ripples in his dark core.

[Pillar formed - Devour]

[Spirit force has increased exponentially]

It was as if a full dam had finally burst, the energy that was previously kept was released all together. Following right after was the sight of Emery's spirit force rising at the speed of a falling meteor.

[1560…]

[1570…]

[1580…]

[1590…]

Emery had his share of experience of having a surge of energy. Many, in fact. However, this time felt different. Extremely so.

He had expected pain wrecking in his core. But this time, it wasn't just his core that experienced pain, but also the entire nerve systems of his body. It was like a massive flood that destroyed the ecosystem.

Moreover, the rapid and tremendous increase of spirit force apparently caused a reaction with his blood, and Emery knew precisely what was coming next…

The urge.

In the past, Magus Heorgar had repeatedly warned him about the savage nature of the Devour pillar, and this was definitely what the man meant by it. The urge to consume anything and everything.

With much difficulty, Emery mustered the energy he had to open his mouth.

"Klea… leave…"

At first, the girl was happy to see that Emery had opened her eyes. But she quickly became anxious hearing his words.

"W-why?" She asked with apparent worry. "What happened? What can I do?!"

Again, gritting his teeth since the urge began to go out of his control, Emery said, "The urge… GO!"

The next moment, without his consent or command, Emery's body began to transform to his Fey form.

"Urrghhhhhh!!"

The sudden event quickly alarmed the girl in front of him. "No… I'm not leaving. There's no way I'll leave you when you need help, Emery."

After saying those words, Klea's quickly cast her Tier 4 healing magic [Restoration] on Emery's body. When she saw that it seemed to have no effect, she quickly switched to the new spell she recently learnt, a Tier 5 healing spell [Body and Mind].

It was a spell she learnt after the mid-test event that left her helpless when Emery was unconscious.

The spell was supposed to help calm the mind of those who were affected by mental attacks in physical or mental form. Surprisingly, it managed to make Emery, who had been growling ever since, slowly calmed down.

"This is working!" Klea said excitedly.

Unfortunately, the effect seemed to only be effective for a while before Emery's body suddenly turned bigger. His figure started to hunch while dark fur began to appear not only on his hands, but all over his body as well.

"W-what… going on… Emery." Klea was terrified to see Emery's body transforming without his control.

Mustering the leftover energy he had after resisting the urge from taking over him completely, Emery rotated his finger, trying to cast a spatial gate, but he wasn't able to.

Emery grounded his teeth and said what he wanted to tell her. Due to his transformation, the word came out half roaring.

"GOOOOO!!!"

Instead of heeding his words, Klea still stood her ground and cast [Ice Prison]. Pillars of ice quickly rose from the ground, shackling Emery's body with extreme cold. However, it didn't take long for cracks to appear everywhere.

It was at this moment that five small figures burst into the room where Klea and Emery were. As if knowing their creator's chaotic state, Twik and the 5 Chizpur brothers came at an opportune time and quickly cast their protective spell to stop Emery. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain.

Seeing that the plant creatures could be in danger, Klea quickly shouted, "Run!"

Before they could escape, however, the ice shackles Emery's body shattered apart. From within, a huge beast with jet black fur walked out. The beast had two long blades in its arms, its sharp fangs bared ready to ravage anything in its path.

Seeing the beast turning its attention on Twik and the 5 Chizpur brothers, Klea quickly shouted, "Emery, stop!"

The beast was about to attack when suddenly a wind blew inside the cave with an appearance of a figure in front of Klea.

"You all get back!"

The new arrival was Magus Shena who appeared in her dragon form. She looked at the transformed Emery and said, "This is a side effect from forming the devouring pillar. I have seen this before."

"Then, what should we do?" Klea asked anxiously.

The female magus didn't answer the question. She just took out her crystal spear, her eyes fixed on the beast. The sight immediately made Klea worry as a bad feeling welled up within her.

"What are you doing?"

Before Klea could realize it, the magus's hand was empty and the spear had pierced through the beast's chest. A deafening roar shook the entire spirit cave.

ROAAARRRRR!!!

"Come fight me!" Magus Shena said before her figure shot out of the cave, whereupon the dark beast immediately chased after. Worried about Emery, Klea also quickly chased after the two of them.

What greeted Klea upon stepping out of the cave was the devastating sight that resulted from the fierce battle between the unbridled Night Wolf and the female Dragon magus. Powerful attacks occurred between the two, causing the beautiful scenery of the island to be shattered.

Having summoned her thunderbird, Klea watched the fight from above with a worried expression on her face.
