Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 2200 Unbreakable

Chapter 2200  Unbreakable

Ravi Karat's defeat was a significant blow to Hassa's side, casting a shadow of disappointment over his supporters. The wounded champion, overwhelmed by embarrassment, retreated from the battlefield with his head bowed, the weight of his failure evident in every step. The air was thick with tension as the announcement for the second duel rang out.

"Let the second duel begin!"

Emery stepped onto the battleground, his presence met with a heavy silence. Despite understanding the critical importance of this fight, most of Hassa's supporters lacked faith in Emery's ability to secure a victory. To many, he was an unknown, his presence was met with skepticism; many did not recognize him and assumed this match was intentionally being thrown. After all the opponent sent by Xavier's side was none other than the famous Izaak the Unbreakable, a name that sent ripples of awe and fear through the crowd.

Izaak's title was well-earned from his reputation in the renowned Magus Universe Infinity Arena, where he recently held the rank of the 9th strongest magus in the entire universe.

He was one of the faction's sought-after old Magus Academy champions. When Ravi had just become a champion 50 years ago, Izaak was already at the peak of the magus realm and had met the requirements to break through into the grand magus realm.

Izaak's extraordinary talent did not go unnoticed by the Karat Patriarch. Despite his refusal to officially join the family, he was granted access to the family's secret technique. This decision highlighted the Patriarch's recognition of Izaak's potential and his desire to cultivate such a powerful ally. Over the past 50 years, Izaak dedicated himself to helping the Karat family while perfecting his comprehension of their techniques. His relentless pursuit of power and excellence was evident in his unwavering commitment.

The man had a special bond with Xavier, as a closely related brother-in-arms, but it was still a blow to Hassa's side to see him willing to be involved in the duel.

With such controversy, the Karat elders allowed mercenaries to be called into the duel, unfortunately, none strong enough were available on such short notice.

Tessa saw this as an opportunity to let Emery participate, recognizing the potential value he could bring to the family. However, not all elders agreed with this decision. Some feared retaliation from the Nephilim, who had a vested interest in the outcome of the conflict. To mitigate this risk, Emery was forced to join the battle wearing a mask, concealing his identity.

This condition significantly restrained Emery's strength, as it prevented him from fully utilizing his abilities. Despite the challenging terms, Emery understood the risks and accepted the condition.

Emery saw the charismatic-looking man emerge from the ranks of the golden army. Izaak wore an intimidating golden plate armor, holding a sword in one hand and a large shield in the other. He stood tall a hundred meters away from Emery, exuding a formidable presence and ready to fight.

To keep his identity hidden, Emery decided not to use his transformation. Instead, he chose this moment to try one of the tier 6 swords he had taken from Mo Yan, the [Embernight Sword]. The weapon had similar darkness properties to his Savage Blade but was bigger and heavier. Its dark metal was intricately engraved with crimson runes, indicating a fire property that seemed unsuitable for him, which had made Emery reluctant to use it before. However, this duel provided an ideal opportunity to test its power.

"Killgragah, lend me your power" Emery requested mentally.

 <Huh… only because you ask nicely.>

Massive Khaos energy channeled through the Khaos Guardian and into Emery's body, enveloping him in a distinctive aura of darkness. Unlike the manifestation of Cthulhu, this aura took on the form of a dragon, accompanied by an intense heat that seemed to amplify through the Embernight Sword. It was a transformative persona that effectively concealed his true identity from onlookers.

The imposing aura immediately captured Izaak's attention. Anticipating the impending clash, Izaak raised his shield high, enveloping himself in a shimmering golden light—a technique known as Karat's [Golden Form], designed to enhance his capabilities akin to Emery's Immortal Gate.

"I see defense is your specialty," Emery remarked as he brandished the crimson sword. Without hesitation, he launched his attack, striking with all the force he could muster against Izaak's shield.

BAMMM!!!

The sound of impact reverberated across the sandy expanse. Emery quickly realized that his initial assault was insufficient to breach Izaak's formidable defense. Undeterred, he unleashed his [Immortal Gate] and continued to barrage his opponent with relentless sword strikes. Each blow was aimed with precision, testing the limits of Izaak's defense and seeking any weakness that could be exploited in their duel.

[Stage 4… Stage 5… Stage 6…. Stage 7]

CRACKK!!!

The culmination of Emery's relentless assault finally pushed Izaak back, creating a noticeable fissure in his defense. Instead of pressing the advantage, Emery raised his sword and issued a challenge, "Show me your real strength!"

Izaak responded with a confident smile, raising his shield once more. A second layer of golden aura materialized around him, augmenting his [Golden Form] with an additional protective barrier. To the surprise of onlookers, this was quickly followed by a third layer, forming a triple-layered defense that seemed impregnable.

Without hesitation, Izaak launched a swift counterattack, his strikes landing with precision and force.

BAMM!! BAMM!! BAMM!!

"Interesting!" Emery exclaimed, his excitement palpable.

Pushing himself further, he elevated his [Immortal Gate] to Stage 8, boosting his battle power beyond the 1000 mark, just enough to match Izaak's formidable strength. Intrigued by Izaak's capabilities, Emery called upon VIA, his analytical tool, to assess and analyze the combat prowess of his opponent.

[Izaak]

[Magus Realm: Full Moon Magus]

[Battle Power 625 (985)]

[Soul force 595(630)]

[Law of Metal 40%]

[Law of light 21%]

[Law of Shield 8%]

[Star Level - 10]

The celestial system's ranking revealed Izaak's exceptional status in the magus realm, boasting statistics that rivaled even some grand magus Emery had encountered before.

Unfortunatly, Despite their comparable stats, Emery's mastery of technique, especially with the unfamiliar sword and its fire element, was not as refined as his opponent's.

To compensate without revealing his true identity, Emery employed his [Spectral Gaze], a spirit attack that halted Izaak's critical strikes in their tracks. The unexpected nature of Emery's attack caught Izaak off guard, eliciting a grunt of frustration as he struggled to break free from the spiritual intrusion.

"Spirit Master!!!" Izaak roared as he successfully broke free from the mental assault.

Emery was impressed; Izaak had not only honed his physical prowess but also possessed remarkable mental defenses, truly living up to his title of "the Unbreakable."

Though Emery's spirit attack was not fully effective against Izaak, it was enough to unsettle him, turning the duel into a closely matched contest that captivated both factions. The battle unfolded with each move and countermove, drawing awe and respect from the assembled forces.

As Izaak's confidence began to crumble under the pressure of Emery's relentless attacks and mental attacks, his initial calm facade gave way to visible signs of strain. Sweat beaded on his brow as frustration and confusion clouded his expression.

"Who are you?!" Izaak demanded, his voice showing disbelief. But Emery remained silent, focusing solely on the battle unfolding before him.

Sensing the urgency and the need to turn the tide decisively, Izaak summoned his true power: [Indomitable Blessing]. The air crackled with energy as this top-grade, tier 7 spell enveloped him, enhancing his defense to unprecedented levels and completely dispelling Emery's lingering spirit attack.

"Whoever you are, You cannot defeat me!" Izaak declared defiantly.

"Alright then, let's see if you can hold this one!" Emery activated his [Immortal Gate Stage 9], pushing his battle power beyond previous limits. With the Embernight Sword in hand, its crimson runes blazing with fiery determination, Emery unleashed the full force of his Axis Mountain sword technique: the [Hill Cleaving Slash]. This devastating sword strike was not just a frontal assault; concealed within its arc was his [Void Blade], a spell capable of penetrating even the strongest defenses.

BAMMMM!!!

The combined attack was a spectacle of power, an overwhelming force that shattered Izaak's formidable defenses in a single, decisive blow. The impact echoed across the battlefield, leaving a stunned silence in its wake.

As the dust settled and the reality of Emery's victory sank in, both forces stood in awe, processing the swift turn of events. Tessa's voice shattered the silence, her shout of triumph igniting cheers among the Hassa faction forces.
