Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1422 Candidates

When everyone saw the look on Thrax's face after Zach left the palace, they immediately knew about his decision without even asking him.

With his talent in the Law of Slaughter, the best way for Thrax to surpass his limits and grow stronger was to join the frontline battlefield. Moreover, the thought of joining the Magus Alliance Army was something that had lingered in his mind ever since he had fought and lost against the man in the Magus Tournament.

His thought came to a temporary halt when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. Apparently, Klea had walked up to him.

Taking a deep sigh, she smiled at him before saying, "You should do what you think is best for you, Thrax. Just that if you really have set your mind, please be careful. I don't think I can take any more bad news."

Thrax nodded his head firmly. "Of course!"

Finally, Thrax managed to release all the emotions he had been harboring since he returned to Terra Palace.

Now that Thrax had decided that he would stay and not return to Earth, Magus Rosia turned to her sisters. They locked eyes with each other, and as if they were all of the same thought, they approached Thrax.

Standing in front representing the others, Magus Rosia spoke to the Thracian.

"You are indeed the best candidate to receive our Lord's Legacy. As such, we will assist you in every way we can until you become the strongest magus worthy of our Lord's name."

All four of Lord Izta's five wives were experts in warfare. Their statement meant that they would spare no effort in teaching, training, and guiding Thrax. They would prepare him to be the best he could be before he began his service for the Magus Alliance, and watch over him accordingly every step along the way.

"Since you will be joining the army officially, you will start from the bottom as a foot soldier. Don't let your guard down even after going through our training. If you are not careful, you might not survive past a month."

Fortunately, Thrax was not an amateur. Although young, he had many battle experiences in his time on earth and also the 5 months that he served in  Lord Izta's army. The Thracian was confident. In fact, he couldn't wait to enlist right away.

Klea couldn't help but smile when she saw such a sight. Even though it was indeed dangerous, the battlefield was arguably the best path for Thrax's development in the future.

However, it also meant that now she was on her own in preparing for what was to come.

Understanding what she was thinking, Fuxi spoke to her, "Don't worry. I will help you,"

After that, the two parted ways as Thrax was about to get preoccupied with his preparations. Apparently, the enlistment was due to start in a week, meaning the Thracian did not have much time to hone his skills under the tutelage of Lord Izta's wives.

As for Klea, the girl was currently with the Eastern Sage as the two of them prepared for the rest.

If not delayed, she should have a month before her return to Earth. One month wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either. Foreseeing the challenges that would await them, she knew she needed to use the time she had wisely.

To guide her in her multi-elemental cultivation, Klea had the Eastern Sage. Of all the powerful figures she had met at the academy, Fuxi was arguably the best master one could have for improving their proficiency in the 5 elements. At the same time, the man also planned to teach her further on the [Hexagram Formation].

Aside from her situation, they also discussed the four candidates that would fight in the battle against the Kronos faction.

Looking at the four exceptional female magus, all available on Terra Palace, Klea couldn't help but say out loud the thing that had been bothering her.

"I still don't understand why it has to be those born on Earth."

As if expecting the question, Fuxi quickly explained about the threads of fate that connected every living being in one way and another. The fact that the candidates were part of the Earth's lineage would enable them to connect with the planet itself, becoming a better caretaker.

This was also the reason why the Magus Alliance was willing to give an opportunity to a generally weaker new faction to become the caretaker of their own world.

As for the candidates, Fuxi couldn't help but become slightly emotional when he spoke the name Ashaka. The famous warrior, turned king and then became an Abbot.The man was, after all, his disciple – one that met terrible fate.

"I might have a way to cure his illness, and if given time, he could make a breakthrough to the magus realm." said Fuxi.

The other main candidate was none other than Fjolnir, the Norse King.

"These past hundreds of years, I have been constantly inquiring and searching about his mysterious lineage, but my efforts have been unsuccessful so far."

Klea had of course seen the legend about Fjolnir, about how the northern people actually originated from another planet and came to Earth two thousand years ago.

As they started to live and become one lineage with Earth's locals, their power inevitably and gradually degraded over the years, bringing them more in line with the other humans. There was also Fjolnir's unusual ancestry link that lay within his bloodline. The impact or powers of this bloodline however had been lost to time.

Other than those two people, they needed two more candidates.

At this, Klea thought about the people she had fought against at the Abbot temple. However, although they were undoubtedly skillful, those people were still far from reaching the magus realm.

Even the High Priest of her Egyptian Kingdom Ihmotep, whose magic instilled fear in anyone in Egypt, was no match for even the current Klea.

In fact, the most powerful person she ever found on Earth – that was the closest to their level – was the old lady Emery killed on Britain island.

At this line of thought, Klea couldn't help but think about a certain pack of female wolves, especially about the one who was the most powerful of them.

Maybe…

Either way, before returning home, Klea was determined to find a way to help those potential candidates for the battle that would take place in twenty years. Fortunately, Terra palace currently had no shortage of spirit stones, which she planned to use to purchase and bring home various items.

However, before she put too much thought into these people, she needed to check on the one not yet recovered, Chumo.
