Chapter 572: Fighting a Magus 2

Emery clearly could see and hear the commotion, as the four Fey sisters were busy fighting against the abomination. They might not be able to kill it, but to just hinder the abomination while keeping Morgana safe - that should be doable for them.

As much as he was worried about them, Emery couldn't afford to divert his attention to another fight, as this time he had to fight a bonafide magus. He knew he needed to put his entire focus on his own opponent, otherwise his already small chance of winning would become even smaller.

"Hahaha, brave indeed?" the Nephilim said arrogantly. "Alright… If you insist, I will let you die a slow, gruesome death."

The man then raised his hand, and this time, a ball of flames materialized before it was thrown towards Emery. Although the attack hadn't arrived yet, the latter could taste the smell of air being burnt.

The spell the Nephilim cast was a normal tier 3 fire elemental magic, [Fireball], but Emery knew the strength of the caster could tremendously affect the strength of a spell. He could faintly tell this was probably the strongest [Fireball] he ever faced.

Even so, Emery could still easily evade it by utilizing [Blink] like usual. However, he decided that he needed to measure the enemy's strength. Therefore, he planned to receive the spell head on.

Emery could feel his nature core gleaming with power, as he gathered a large amount of water element from the surroundings with a gesture from his arm. Then, with the other arm, he performed a pulling motion and the coalescing water quickly turned into spear-like projectile.

This was the conclusion of the spell [Steam Lance] as Emery threw it toward the incoming fireball.

BOOM!

The blast of the explosion from the two spells colliding in the air, filled high into the sky with dust and dirt, dropping the visibility to the lowest level. It seemed the two spells were on par with each other, as there was nothing else happening after the initial explosion.

At first, it looked like Emery managed to stand toe-to-toe with the Nephilim, but he knew better than that. He would have to give some well-deserved credit to the fact that water spell was a perfect choice to fight against fire spells, as nature decreed. His tier 2 spell also wouldn't be this powerful if not because of the enhancement brought by his shaman form.

"Interesting!!" On the other hand, the Nephilim was unfazed by the failure of his spell. Instead, he strangely became excited. "Now try this one."

As he said that, numerous small sized flames could be seen flying all around his palm, as if they were dancing. Emery didn't have the chance to wonder what those flames were, because the Nephilim waved his hand and they all rushed toward him at breakneck speed.

[Fire Artillery - Tier 4 Fire Spell]

Emery quickly cast and sent another [Steam Lance] to greet the spell launched at him. Unfortunately, he was bound to be dissapointed.

Even though the spell the Nephilim chose this time appeared smaller than the previous one he used, each of the small flames had the same power of the tier 3 [Fireball]. This was proven by the sight of his[Steam Lance] only being able to stop two of them, before the remaining flames continued their journey to Emery.

Knowing he had no time to cast enough [Steam Lance] to extinguish the tier 4 spell, Emery quickly cast [Blink].

"Are you dodging already?" The Nephilim asked, as he saw Emery's figure disappear and reappear several meters away. "This is not fun!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A sequence of loud explosions took place at where Emery stood before. When everything calmed down and one could see clearly, they would certainly be surprised to see the place where Emery was before had turned into a five meter wide crater filled with debris.

Emery didn't have much time to be shocked by the destruction, because the Nephilim cast another [Fire Artillery] and sent it over to him. Seeing the same devastating heading in his direction again, he quickly cast his own spell to combat it. Emery tried to use his [Whip Splash] and [Enfeeble Blade], but neither of them were effective against such levels of bombardment.

With [Whip Splash] and [Enfeeble Blade] out of the table, Emery had no long-ranged spells to match the other party's spell. Hence, he decided to depend on his wits and resort with another tactic.

[Shadow Mist]

Following the activation of the spell, several images of Emery appeared. This spell was supposed to confuse the enemy, but Emery knew it was not enough. He was sure a magus level figure wouldn't be easily fooled by it.

His main objective was actually to hide his actual attack.

As the [Shadow Mist] took effect, Emery swiftly took out his [Moon Dagger] and secretly cast a small [Spatial Gate], which the dagger plunged straight into.

Splat!!

Caught off guard, he successfully cut the Nephilim's shoulder from the latter's blind spot. Unfortunately for Emery, even his enhanced [Moon Dagger] was not enough to deal a severe result. The cut was made, but the wound wasn't deep enough.

In order to truly hurt the other party, Emery had to actually swing his weapon in person to deal a blow that contained all his strength. Alas, that was easier said than done.

Seeing that his attack gave a meager result, Emery quickly used his new spell [Granite Wall] to attack the Nephilim. The ground beneath the Nephilim shook as a wall of granite rapidly rose upward.

The Nephilim, of course, had noticed the abnormality in the ground below him and had already taken a side step to avoid the granite wall that threatened to send him into the sky. Emery saw the opening and immediately took advantage of it.

He quickly cast [Blink] and appeared right behind the Nephilim whose attention was still at the granite wall. After mustering all the strength in his body, Emery immediately pushed the dagger that gleamed a dangerous light in his hand toward the Nephilim's nape.

[Hidden Blade]

Time seemed to slow down, as Emery watched the sharp tip of the dagger get closer to its target. Anticipation bloomed in his face, as the dagger only an inch away from the Nephilim's nape.

Clank!

At the last moment, the Nephilim used the staff in his hand to block the [Moon Dagger]. What surprised Emery, besides the fact that the other party had managed to stop his ambush, was the fact the latter did not even turn his head in doing so.

Head still facing where Emery previously was, the Nephilim laughed and said, "Your move is too predictable…"

Immediately after he said that, the Nephilim's other free arm was engulfed in flames. However, instead of their usual red colored flame, this time it was enveloped by a dark haze of smog.

"Now you shall try this!!"

[Hell Flame]

Emery could clearly feel the scorching heat emanating from the black flame in Nephilim's hand. The latter, however, didn't blast the spell at him. Instead, he stretched his flame covered hand and grabbed Emery's shoulder, burning it with the tier 5 fire spell.

An excruciating sensation of pain instantly surged throughout Emery's entire body the moment his shoulder got into contact with the ominous black flame. Emery immediately tried to struggle free, but the Nephilim wouldn't let him go.

Realizing his struggle would take some time, Emery quickly cast [Granite Skin] to resist the flame for now. His dark core and nature core pumped spirit energy to their maximum capacity to stop the flame from reaching into his bone. But even then, the [Granite Skin] seemed powerless against the sinister flame, as the latter gradually swallowed the former.

All of a sudden, Emery felt a reaction from the tattoo on his chest. It shone brightly and he could feel the pain from the flame that was burning his shoulder considerably weakened.

Even though he didn't know the specifics, he knew the shaman form had once again saved his life.

Now that the pain had subsided, Emery quickly stabbed his dagger into the Nephilim's hand and jumped a few steps back as the man released his shoulder.

Surprisingly, the Nephilim laughed as he watched Emery retreat. The laugh the man let out was extremely wicked.

"Hahahha!! Your dog transformation is the same as that ancestor of yours! Even he couldn't defeat us, so why do you think you can?!" The Nephilim mocked him. "Just give up already! You cannot win against me! Hand over the stone and maybe, just maybe, I will let you live. Hahaha"

Emery let out a deep sigh. He knew the figure standing in front of him was a few levels stronger than him. But he couldn't just give up. He couldn't let this Nephilim get his way.

There was one more tactic Emery still had up his sleeve, something Gaia had prepared for him. But while he was still contemplating, he suddenly noticed something.

The Nephilim's also turned toward the eastern sky.

"More coming! This is getting more interesting..."

From the easterm sky, there was a storm of lightning that brightened the darkness of the night.

Dear Reader

Thank you for your support for the Novel. The last two weeks my family and I went on a road trip, with me driving 1000+ miles I could only do single daily chapters. Now that I have reached my destination I should be able to do double chapters again.

Sadly, because of it, the novel failed Win-win highest reward last month, hence the novel could really use more coverage by helping the novel with your golden tickets. Help the novel reach the top 15 for continuous double chapters. If by some miracle we can reach top 10, on that weekend I will give two more extra.
