Chapter 1087: The Institutes

Emery followed Magus Urix and walked out of the Grand Magus's chamber. As he walked through the stairs, he couldn't help but ask what he was confused about.

"Senior Urix, what was that just now?"

The blonde-haired magus wearing a white robe glanced at him before answering, "Nothing to worry about, Emery. My master will explain if she thinks you need to know; and since she didn't, let's talk about why you're here instead."

Emery inwardly heaved a sigh and started to explain about his newfound element affinity and his objective coming here which was to learn more about the light element, and specifically to visit the origin stone room of the Light Institute.

The magus was stunned hearing Emery's words that he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"A new element..? Then that makes you have… five elements?" A look of disbelief on his face. "..How could you even make that work?"

Emery could do nothing but give a wry smile at the other party's question. He himself had no words to answer such a question. Noticing that he wouldn't receive an answer, Magus Urix just shook his head before turning around and continuing to walk.

Walking across the long corridor of the building, the two of them came to the central area of the Institute of Light building, where Emery could see a large crystal that was the source of the pillar of light soaring high into the sky.

"Interesting, right?" Magus Urix said as he stopped for a moment to also admire the mesmerizing sight.

The crystal was fully protected behind a glass etched with protective runes all over. The ceiling of the room was opened revealing the azure expanse beyond, and seeing it directly from below it, Emery could see that the beam of light was actually headed towards a moon-like object in the sky.

Seeing Emery staring straight at the moon in the sky, Magus Urix said, "Try to look further and tell me what you see."

What Magus Urix requested was certainly something that couldn't be done with normal human's eyes, but for a Rank 9 acolyte like Emery, he could see multiple times further than a normal human could.

Focusing his eyes, he saw the real shape of the moon gradually becoming clearer in his vision.

"T-that's… that's the Magus Academy!" Emery exclaimed, a look of surprise showing on his face.

Confirming what he had just seen, Magus Urix said, "That's right. It is the academy."

The Magus then explained how the planet they were currently on was placed closest to the planet where the Magus Academy was located.

In fact, all the other institutes were the same; Varuna of the Water Institute, Animus of the Earth Institute, Elder Respite of the Plant Institute, Atrum of the Darkness Institute, Ignis of the Fire Institute, Ventus of the Wind Institute, Glacies of the Ice Institute, and Kinzo of the Metal Institute.

All ten institutes were actually ten small planets that orbited around the Magus Academy, with the Light Institute and Darkness Institute being the two nearest to the others.

Emery had heard about that in the past, but seeing it directly was certainly one of a kind experience. Seeing the moon-like planet in the sky made him realize how close these planets – institutes all together.

"So what I want to explain to you, Emery, is this crystal in front of us."

Hearing that, Emery quickly shifted his gaze from the 'moon' where the Magus Academy was and observed closely the huge white crystal that was filled with rainbow-like light deep inside. It didn't take long for him to feel the powerful energy dwelled within, a light element-based power.

"What you currently see here is called a God Crystal. The one in front of you is one of the biggest owned by the Magus Alliance. Its function currently is to provide the power required to constantly maintain the barrier formed around the Magus Academy."

Emery looked at the crystal in awe as Magus Urix gave an explanation about it. He was amazed by how a crystal that was not bigger or taller than a normal adult human could provide a tremendous amount of energy to allow such feats.

Then, out of nowhere, the magus asked an unexpected question. "Do you believe in God, Emery?"

Even though a bit taken aback by the question, Emery quickly went into contemplation and thought for a while before opening his mouth, "I used to in the past, senior. But.. I don't think I am now."

The reason Emery said those words was because he now knew that the so-called Earth Gods were all existences behind the Nephilim faction, a group of magus whose strength in the eyes of the ordinary beings was extraordinary.

Magus Urix smiled at his answer and said, "Then why do you think this crystal is called God Crystal? Where do you think such a powerful crystal is coming from?"

Emery was once again stunned. Ignoring his stunned state, the magus continued his words.

"This is the basic knowledge that you must know first if you want to cultivate the light element." Turning his gaze to the crystal, he said, "It was, after all, called a divine element. A god-given element."

Magus Urix once again proceeded to give an explanation – a history lesson about creation that Emery had heard a few times in the past. However, this time he could feel there was a certain profundity within what Magus Uris explained.

When Magus Minerva explained it, it sounded like a myth that didn't seem real, but when Magus Urix did it, it was as if it was a reality that just happened yesterday.

What surprised Emery was the part that wasn't in Magus Minerva's class. Magus Urix explained more details, reaching some parts that were not given to the normal class as it was a belief that was held as the truth for the Light Institute.

"A battle between God and Goddess that gives birth to the creation of the elements was actually a simplified version of the truth. The actual truth was one and only almighty God that held the power of Light battled the nine Elemental Celestial beings, the conflict between all primordial energies was what birthed the uncountable galaxies."

Magus Urix continued on, with much more confidence and conviction in his words.

"This one small difference in history was a version that was never liked by the other element institutes for obvious reasons. But it was the truth. Light element was the absolute supreme compared to the others, this is something you need to accept if you want to comprehend the Law of light"
