In the guardian chamber of the plant vault, the scene was a chaotic mix of magic and combat. As previously mentioned, the majority of the 700 magus involved in the battle were elves, with a total of 400 of them. However, what stood out was the dominance of the wood elves, numbering more than 200, while the remaining elves were roughly split between the dark elves and the high elves.

Wood elves, known for their affinity with nature and supportive magic, played a significant role in shaping the course of the battle. Their focus on creating defensive spells and providing healing support to their allies made them valuable assets. Emery observed the wood elves meticulously crafting protective barriers to shield their comrades from the relentless attacks of the celestial constructs. These barriers shimmered with the essence of nature, providing a resilient defense against the onslaught.

The humans, on the other hand, were struggling to maintain their positions on the battlefield. They faced the relentless advance of celestial constructs, trying to hold the line against the onslaught. While some human magus were skilled in offensive spells, the overwhelming numbers and power of the celestial army posed a considerable challenge.

As the [Meteor Fall] spell rained down from the celestial commander, the wood elves reacted swiftly, showcasing their mastery of nature-based magic. They joined their powers to cast a formidable combined spell known as [Sylvan Shrine]. This intricate spell created a magnificent crystal tree that blossomed above the wood elves, enveloping them in its protective aura. The spell wasn't the work of a single magus; instead, it was a collaborative effort involving several dozen wood elf magus, each contributing their magical energy to create a massive protective shield.

Leading this impressive display of magic was a renowned young magus from the Vanyar clan named Tilues Ganger. His name had been mentioned previously by the Agnor Family, indicating his significant reputation within the elven community. Tilues Ganger's mastery over nature magic was evident as he coordinated the spell's intricate weaving, transforming it into a colossal barrier that shielded the hundreds of magus beneath it.

Among the wood elves, there were notable fighters from various clans, each known for their unique magical talents. The Celedon clan, for instance, was famous for their ability to nurture and command insects, using them in combat and reconnaissance. Additionally, the Onari clan had gained recognition for their exceptional healing spells, providing crucial support to their comrades in the heat of battle. The diverse skills and abilities of the wood elves contributed to the overall strength of the elven forces in the guardian chamber.

Acknowledging the predicament at hand, Emery proposed a familiar solution that had proven successful in their previous encounters. Jinkan swiftly concurred, recognizing that defeating the Mage Lord would swiftly resolve the challenge while also yielding them the highest number of points.

With Jinkan's consent, Emery summoned a portal directly adjacent to the celestial commander. This time, the entire contingent of 70 magus, along with Jai's team of 10, followed suit. Emery assumed his Twilight form and led the assault, orchestrating a relentless bombardment on the Mage Lord.

The culmination of their combined efforts bore fruit as the message echoed through their minds: [You have destroyed the MageLord]

With the celestial commander vanquished, the tide of the battle began to shift in their favor.

The battle raged on for an additional half-hour before the challenge was ultimately completed. Having inflicted the most damage on their commander and wreaked havoc among two dozen other celestial constructs in the aftermath, Emery successfully secured a place in the top 100 rankings, earning himself 2 plant celestial shards as a reward.

With the challenge concluded, the gate finally swung open. Some magus wasted no time and leaped through the gate, eager to progress further. However, in stark contrast to the previous confrontational attitude displayed by the dark elves, this time, a group of wood elves approached Emery and his companions, expressing their gratitude before proceeding through the gate.

The crowds were predominantly composed of wood elves, a race known for their pacifist nature. Additionally, there were fewer than 800 magus in total competing for the 500 gold medals available, making the situation considerably less competitive.

"Good choice, excellent tactic," Emery commended Jinkan for her decision.

As they prepared to enter the gate, Emery suddenly sensed a familiar energy signature emanating from a small group of 10 magus.

"Half-blood!" Emery exclaimed.

He turned to see a man with long white hair who was able to unsettle his mind. The Nephilim's information confirmed that the man who gazed at Emery with a certain level of anger was Vizla of the Ouroboros faction.

Despite the mixed feelings that accompanied the gaze, Emery approached the man and paid his respects. "Senior Vizla."

"Huh, I see the famous Savage magus still recognizes me," Vizla responded.

Being a new magus and proficient in plant elements had led the prince of the Ouroboros faction to this place. However, from his reaction, it was clear that he still harbored blame towards Emery for what had happened to his sister.

At the same time, Jinkan approached him. "Ahh, the Ouroboros," she said the words with a hidden meaning, hinting at the connection Emery had with the faction. Jinkan extended an offer for them to join their group and continue the expedition together, but Vizla quickly refused.

"Don't mind us, we are just a simple third-grade faction, not worthy of the invites," Vizla replied with frustration. He then ordered all his magus to leave.

During this exchange, Emery's attention was drawn to a red-haired female magus among the Vizla group who wore a mask. There was something oddly familiar about her, but before he could probe deeper, the female had vanished, leaving behind a distinct scent that he recognized.

Jinkan inquired, "Your friend?"

There was a tone of curiosity in Jinkan's voice, as both she and Emery had received the same information from the Nephilim device about the mysterious figure. A name was attached to the person, but the Nephilim's information quickly tagged the person's identity as fake.

Looking at Emery's expression, Jinkan said "She is only a half-moon, nothing to worry about. Let's go."
