Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1576 Crazy

?

Emery didn't know how long he had been asleep. What he knew was that he woke up feeling refreshed. He then discovered that he was currently in a luxurious bedroom. The place was decorated with beautiful ornaments and ornate furnishings, and a wide balcony overlooking the Silvermane City.

His mind quickly started working and deduced the possible location he was currently in.

"I… I am in the Silvermane Palace? But how… why?"

A question popped into his mind as his brain went to full drive, trying to figure out what was the last thing he remembered. His head was spinning as he could somewhat remember a certain figure talking to him before he woke up. 

Before that, it was all a chaotic battle that eventually brought him and Morgana into a situation of extreme danger where they were trapped, having to give their all to survive in the Primal Beast's pool of blood.

"Morgana." Emery muttered under his breath as he looked around, a hint of panic when he couldn't find her figure. "I need to find her."

However, his steps suddenly came to a halt when his eyes met the huge mirror inside the bedroom. His eyes widened when he saw not the face of Evan Valerious, but instead the face of Emery Ambrose – his real face.

Apart from catching him off guard, this situation made him wonder if anyone had recognized him apart from the old wolf and the king.

Thinking about the Alpha King, Emery could feel his head spinning again before the door to the bedroom suddenly opened. A lady who seemed to be the caretaker of the place entered and was shocked to see him awake.

Before Emery could say anything, she had already dashed out of the room to most likely to inform others.

Emery, of course, was increasingly mystified by such a reaction. Fortunately, the second person who entered through the door and approached him managed to make him relieve.

"Morgana, you… are you alright?"

The question seemed to make the red-haired girl took a deep sigh. Thanks to their bond, Emery quickly realized what happened.

It was him who actually has been recovering for long and she has been waiting for him to wake up.

"I have been unconscious and recuperating for two weeks?"

The revelation came as quite a shock to Emery as he honestly had no recollection of having had any treatment at all. What's more, right now he didn't feel weak at all like someone who had just recovered; on the contrary, he had never felt so fit in his entire life.

On the other hand, Morgana, who was supposedly in the same situation as him, apparently had woken up a week earlier and she has been keeping an eye on him ever since.

Morgana's thoughts made Emery confused. It was apparent that he had missed a lot of things while he was asleep, or as she put it, unconscious.

It didn't take long before a group of people appeared and entered the room. Emery was extremely surprised when he sensed that these people were all grand magus figures, with one whose power felt unfathomable and far above the others – a supreme being.

"Should we leave?" Emery asked the girl who supposedly know more about the situation.

Morgana however shook her head, told him to wait.

Before he could process his current situation, the arrival of several familiar faces made him somehow speechless. Warwick, the right hand of the Alpha King, General Talbot of the Silvermane Army, Grand Master Reikun of the Apex faction, and the last person whose presence shocked him the most, King Alduin of the Zodiac City.

The sight of the man brought mostly pleasant memories that made him happy to meet the man. But the situation he was in compelled him to stay calm. On the other hand, the Dragon King seemed to have reacted the same when he saw him, if the slight change in expression on his face was any indication.

Grand Master Reikun made his way over and swiftly carried out several tests using the tools he had on him. The room was silent as those who arrived watched the former.

Not only that, what made Emery a bit anxious was the fact that he noticed that all of these prominent figures appeared to be treating him differently, not how they should act toward a young magus like him. It was as if he was someone important.

Emery wondered what he had done to deserve such treatment. Unfortunately, he couldn't seem to find the answer in his memory, which made the confusion within him even greater.

"He is in complete health," said the Apothecary Grandmaster before stepping away. Knowing this was his opportunity, Emery quickly filled the cue by asking, "Could someone tell me already what is going on here?" 

Emery perked up his ears and listened intently as Warwick briefly explained what had happened in the chaotic incident, the Primal Beast, the arrival of the Zodiac King, and then the death of the Alpha King.

When he heard the mention of the latter's death, Emery surprisingly felt sadder than he thought he would. But then, the next piece of news that the old wolf revealed gave him even more of a shock.

"The King has named you as his successor."

"...."

"He what?!"

Emery's first reaction was amusement, thinking these people must be crazy. However, seeing the serious expressions on their faces made him suppress the laughter that was about to escape.

When he realized that these people were waiting for his response, Emery understood that it was not a joke. The Alpha King had appointed him as his successor. The revelation was so sudden and unexpected that Emery was left speechless. 

"Why... Why me?"

The old wolf Warwick stepped in again saying, "You are the most famous and strongest Wolf of your generation. But still, that really isn't enough to explain such a decision; you are, after all, still too young. However, our mind changed after we monitored your condition."

"My condition?"

This time, Grand Master Reikun stepped forward, showing one of the tools he had brought with him, an electronic display. Inside was shown the results of his examination just now, and apart from a few numbers indicating the state of his health, what surprised him were his stats.

[Emery Ambrose] 

[Battle power 295]

[Bloodline Gene - Royal Twilight Fey]

[Gene Classification - Mythical Bloodline]

[Bloodline Limit: Rank 9]

[Current Rank - Rank 7 - Fey Paragon]

[Royal Fey wolf gene essence - 33%]

Emery rubbed his eyes and looked at the numbers again. He could barely recognize his own stats. Not only had his strength grown tremendously, he had also upgraded the limit of his gene.

"What the hell happened to me?" Emery asked himself.

The old wolf explained,  "We believe that you have received the legacy of our King. Do you not remember any of it?"
