Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1166 Sabotage

Emery could feel his heartbeat becoming increasingly faster as the two elves in front of him continued their conversation.

Unfortunately for him, since he was unable to use his Spatial Gate spell to enter this facility, he couldn't use it to get out as well.

Knowing that he would be forced to fight one way or another, Emery began to assess his situation.

One elf magus with a cultivation of at least Crescent Moon stage as well as more than two dozen saint-level elf fighters.

To be honest, the circumstance truly wasn't in favor of Emery. One wrong move, and he could certainly lose his life in this place.

On the other hand, the call from the Nexus space station had interrupted the magus.

Seeing it as a chance, Emery quickly joined the conversation saying, "Yes, that call must be regarding the trouble we are having."

The dark elf magus glared at him, but didn't do anything. He told his men to keep an eye on Emery before he went into one of the rooms.

Now was definitely the time if Emery wanted to get away. However, he decided not to leave just yet.

There was something that held him back from running from this place, the large formation created by the dozens of elves and mechanical drones.

Whatever the elves were building was bound to be bad news for him and the others, hence he couldn't help but feel that he had to find a way to stop, or at least, sabotage whatever it was they were doing.

Looking at the Replicator machine in front of him, Emery realized how the elves seemed to rely heavily on it to make the components of what they were building. With this crucial information, his mind was set.

Not wasting anymore time, Emery swiftly took out his [Savage Blade], thrusting its tip deep into the dark elf who was ordered to watch him before the latter could react.

Spllaaattt!!

The sudden attack quickly made the elf fall to his knee. The floor was dyed red as blood splattered from the gaping wound in his chest.

At the same time, he activated his innate ability [Twilight Transformation], and with the enhanced spell power it brought, he summoned a hundred [Jade Warrior] to charge at the nearby elves and created as much destruction and havoc as possible.

While the mob of Jade Warriors he had summoned created distractions for him, Emery swiftly pulled the Replicator machine out of the wall with his enhanced strength and quickly stored it within his Spatial Space.

'Time to leave!'

Even though he was unable to use [Spatial Gate] to instantly exit the facility, Emery could still use it to travel within the facility, which was exactly what he did next.

In the midst of the chaos, he cast the spell and the familiar swirling blue portal quickly took form in front of him. Stepping into it, he arrived at the corner of the facility near right where the exit was. A thick metal door that would lead to the warehouse up on the surface.

By this time, the sound of sirens had resounded throughout the entire facility, and instantly all the dozens of mechanical drones who were in vicinity deemed him as an intruder, aiming their weapons and shooting at him.

Multiple blasts sped towards him, forcing him to parry with his sword.

Knowing he couldn't afford to stay here, to quickly finish them, Emery didn't hold back and immediately used his battle art [Chain Slash].

His figure disappeared as his sword charged towards the drones, bouncing off the killing machine to make his way into another at unprecedented speed. An explosion occurred as one of the drones was destroyed, which was quickly followed by another.

Within seconds, Emery was able to destroy several of them. However, a dozen more quickly arrived at the premises.

"Intruder! Intruder!' Loud synthetic voices echoed along with sirens, alarming anyone inside the facility about his presence.

"I can't waste my time here; I need to escape now!" Emery said to himself.

Without even activating his Spirit Reading, Emery could tell that all the dark elves were already on the move, hunting for him.

Knowing that he had no time to waste, Emery released [Blade Claw] and forced open the closed metal door in front of him. Then, he quickly climbed through the passageway where the metal container had descended previously, making his way to the surface.

Swisshhh!!

Loud sounds echoed through the passageway as he broke through the metal layer that stood in his path. Regardless of the noise his actions made, the only thought in Emery's mind was to get out of this place as quickly as possible.

It was a mile away from the surface and just as he was about to reach it, he suddenly felt something holding his leg. Turning his eyes downwards, he could see dark metal chains had wrapped around his ankles.

Emery stabs his claw into the wall trying to pull himself and break out from the metal chain. However not just it didn't break, but he felt a strong tug forcing him to release his grip on the wall. His body fell rapidly as the force on the chain increased, until he finally crashed to the bottom floor.

BAAAAMMMM!!!

Despite feeling the pain from his fall, Emery quickly returned to his feet. His face turned grave when he saw the dark elf magus standing close in front of him.

"Well, what do we have here? A human rat? Why are you leaving so soon?"

Facing the dark elf magus, Emery calmly said, "I am a wolf. As for why I'm leaving, I have no time to play with you guys right now."

Without waiting for a response from the other party, Emery cast [Blind] in hopes of buying time for him to cast the Spatial Gate to the surface.

Now that he was near the passageway that was a direct access, he could use the spell to travel directly to the surface.

Unfortunately for Emery, things didn't go well for him.

The magus didn't even blink by such a spell, and once again dark chains shot toward him, entangling his limbs and entire body as if they were alive.

"You're not going anywhere, not after making such a mess!"

From their brief exchange, it was apparent that the magus overwhelmed him in strength. Realizing this, Emery quickly used [Immortal Gate] to boost his strength to finally break free from the chain.

Howwllll!!!

"Not bad! Not bad at all for a human rat!"

Looks like Emery needed to face this dark elf magus first before he could escape.
