Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1414 Failed

The spear that pierced him deeply through the neck and the high-tier net artifact that cut and dug through his flesh caused the wolf to struggle more and more in an attempt to break out. All of this alongside the powerful lightning spell that the high elf grand magus continued to unleashed upon him.

"Arrgggghh!!!"

Emery's roar of agony echoed loudly through the air.

Although the lightning spell that coursing through his body scorched his organs inside and out, causing indescribable amounts of pain,. There was a silver lining though, ironically it was also the reason why Emery was still alive from the injuries he received.

The high elf grand magus raised his eyebrows as he noticed what was happening.

"Huh!! You even dare to devour my lightning?!"

However, instead of stopping the spell so that Emery couldn't devour it anymore, the proud high elf decided to do the opposite as he increased its power and intensity even further, causing Emery to writhe in pain even more furiously.

"Let's see how long your body can withstand this!"

[Lightning Domain]

As the full extent of the high elf grand magus' power was unleashed in its entirety, Emery's entire body was completely engulfed by ferocious lightning. The nearby magus felt their hair stand on end as it sent waves of intense pain through Emery. The intense lightning scorched his flesh and boiled his blood, causing damage faster than his extreme regeneration could heal.

Nevertheless, the wolf beast still continued to struggle. In fact, instead of weakening, it became even more vicious. It was trying to break free even if it could tear its body apart in the process.

Unbeknownst to the high elf grand magus, his spell had actually become the conduit that filled up the third power standing in between his two cores. The power which had also been restrained by the two.

It was a drop of blood. The accumulation of his bloodline genes. One which carried the immense true power of his Wolf ancestors. Unbeknownst to the grand magus, through this predicament, Emery underwent another miraculous transformation.

Amidst the excruciating pain that tormented his mind and body, Emery could hazily see multiple notifications appear in his mind.

[Your Bloodline went through changes.]

[Genes purified]

[Twilight Fey gene essence percentage increased]

[46%... 48%... 50%...]

Before he even realized it, Emery found himself facing a familiar sight. It was the vision of the two wolves, Dark and Light, standing tall facing each other, more powerful than ever. However, before the much-awaited breakthrough arrived, the entire world in the vision quickly darkened, shadow consuming the landscape before everything went completely black.

[Bloodline Breakthrough failed]

The single drop of blood that was supposed to spread and permeate throughout his body was being pulled in by the strongest core present within Emery's body. One that assumed the form of a pitch-black stoneâ€" the Primal Core.

The black stone hungrily devoured the drop of blood and as if the missing piece had finally returned home, an unexpected notification popped up.

[You have succeeded in comprehending the Law of Devour by 3%]

It was precisely at this moment that Emery felt a different power rising from within him. A complete integration between his ancestral bloodline and the accumulation of the Khaos power within him.

[Primal Transformation]

What happened next was the advent of something more than a wolf beast. It could only be described as a being borne from darkness itself. The Primal Harbinger.

However, its powers soon proved to be too extraordinary and overwhelming for Emery to control. As it became the source of energy that flowed into his blood, Emery's body once again underwent a profound change.

It was no longer human-like skin nor beast-like fur. Instead, pure darkness energy enveloped Emery's entire body, radiating an aura so intense that it caused all the dark elf magus' faces to contort. It was so strong that the high-level net artifact corroded and dissipated into the air.

The high elf grand magus and his entire group of magus stood frozen in shock as the change that had occurred to Emery also came with an explosion of power that forced them all to take a step back.

"W-What.. What is this?!!"

Standing before them was a luminous dark creature that grew beyond five meters, continued on, and passed the twenty meters mark before eventually stopping.

A thirty meter tall creature of darkness. One that had some of the characteristics of a wolf as it could be seen having fangs and claws, yet standing on two legs.

Besides its dark body that shone brightly, there was a contrasting crimson horn on top of its head. The moment he laid his eyes on the very conspicuous horn, the high elf grand magus' face completely lost color.

"S-Star!!! It's a Star devouring Beast!"

The moment its transformation was complete, the creature opened its jaws and let out a sky-rending roar.

ROOAARRR!!!

Not only was it ear-deafeningly loud, it also carried an invisible power that sent all the dark elf magus flying while also negatively affecting the flow of their spirit energy.

Knowing what they were up against, the high elf grand magus immediately ordered his men to stay away from it.

"All of you back off!"

However, the running figures only caught the creature's attention as it stomped the ground and leapt to the air. It pounced and caught two dark elf magus in the middle of their flight, holding one in each arm.

If the initial pounce still didn't kill them yet, the squeeze that followed afterward would surely put an end to the two magus as it crushed their flesh and bones, turning them into a pile of unidentified mush.

Seeing this, the high elf grand magus beckoned his men to strike back. A moment later, the sky was in chaos as numerous spells and weapons shot through the air. All of them landed on the creature, but it didn't even budge.

ROAARR!!!

Letting out another deafening roar, It spots three magus who were casting their spells on top of a building and decides to smash the building down before grabbing one of magus into its arms.

With their comrade caught, the other two managed to fly away in horror. Alas, they didn't realize the creature didn't stop chasing them. One was horrified to see that the other flying in front of him had been caught and ravaged by the creature's fangs.

"What are you all doing?!! We must kill him while we still can!!"

Soon, dozens of elven fighter ships came swooping down from the sky and started shooting at the creature. Using their maneuverability in the sky, they managed to harass the creature by shooting from out of its reach.

But just when they thought everything was going smoothly, the creature suddenly roared and opened its jaws wide. From within, appeared a powerful vortex and gravitational force that pulled everything in.

A black hole from its mouth.

The surrounding building brokes apart and forcefully pulls into it, together with all the elven spaceships and several dark elf magus. Those who survived could only remain hidden, terrified as the creature continued to rampage through the area.
