Chapter 1861 Knight Lord
The aftermath of the battle against the celestial army was a grim scene. The chamber was strewn with the wreckage of over 2,000 humanoid celestial constructs, their once-imposing forms now reduced to lifeless debris. The magus, both humans and elves, had paid a heavy price for their victory. The clash had claimed the lives of over a hundred magus, and several hundred more were left wounded and in need of immediate medical attention.
Despite the casualties and the chaos of the battle, the surviving 2,000 magus were now focused on extracting as many points as possible from the remaining celestial forces. It was a frenzied race to accumulate points from the surviving celestial constructs, with magus from various factions competing to land the decisive blows.
[Knight Lord]
[1,113/5,000]
The celestial Knight Lord, still standing defiantly amidst the wreckage of its fallen comrades, presented a formidable challenge. It had endured a barrage of spells, attacks, and relentless assaults, yet its health remained substantial. Its massive swords swung with terrifying force, capable of taking lives with each swing. The magus charged in bravely, casting spells and launching attacks on the remaining celestial champions and the formidable Knight Lord.
Emery, having defeated a champion knight he had been engaged with, decided to temporarily withdraw from the intense battle. He retrieved his trusty [Rampant Staff], and tapped into his improved proficiency with the law of light.
With precise control over his spell, Emery cast an upgraded version of his [Rejuvenating Mushroom]. Multiple glowing nodes appeared, forming a network of healing energy that covered the area. These nodes radiated restorative magic, providing aid to the numerous wounded magus and granting an extra burst of vigor to those who were fatigued from the prolonged battle.
Emery's actions weren't solely driven by compassion; Whether the magus on the battlefield needed or appreciated the healing didn't matter to Emery. What was important was that their actions were considered a valuable contribution to the battle. As expected, the spell proved to be a significant boon, quickly elevating Emery's rank within just a few minutes.
[Rank 4 - Emery Ambrose - 625 points]
With his rank climbing steadily, Emery continued to focus on aiding his fellow magus and supporting their efforts to secure victory against the remaining celestial constructs and the formidable Knight Lord. Victory was within reach, and Emery was determined to do everything in his power to achieve it.
As the majority of the wounded magus began to regain their strength thanks to Emery's [Rejuvenating Mushroom], the healing spell gradually lost its effectiveness. Meanwhile, the Knight Lord remained standing, with only 500 HP remaining, it cast a formidable spell that rendered it indestructible.
Spells, physical attacks, and energy weapons of all kinds proved futile in reducing the Lord's remaining HP. This development prompted all the magus who had previously surrounded the Knight Lord to quickly retreat to a safe distance.?They collectively decided to maintain their distance from the towering giant until the spell's effects wore off.
The battlefield fell into a tense standstill as the magus cautiously watched the Knight Lord, waiting for an opportunity to strike once the enemy's invulnerability spell had dissipated.
Emery conceived a daring plan and called his team to gather around him. With the group assembled, Emery opened a portal right beside the towering Knight Lord. As he summoned a massive jade root to restrain the giant, Emery placed both hands on the Knight Lord and unleashed a spell that depleted the last of his spirit pool.
The spell he cast was [Anti Magic], a highly demanding and potent ability. It successfully removed the indestructible effect that had been protecting the giant. Following Emery's lead, all 30 magus in his team launched their most powerful attacks, bombarding the Knight Lord with their collective might. Before long, the remaining magus from the other groups rushed in to join the onslaught, contributing to the creature's demise.

Six members of their group managed to break into the top 100, bringing a sense of accomplishment and joy to the entire team. When the battle finally concluded, Emery received five medium light shards as his rewards for his valiant efforts. These shards shimmered with an ethereal light, promising power and potential.
Emery's final rank garnered compliments from Jinkan and earned him numerous curious and envious gazes from other magus, both human and elves. Some congratulated him on his impressive performance, while others whispered in awe of his abilities. Emery's status was rising among the magus of the expedition, and his reputation as a formidable force was solidifying.
As the gate to the fifth layer opened, everyone eagerly rushed forward to secure the coveted gold medals. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation and competition as magus from various factions jostled to claim their prize. Jinkan was among them, her determination evident as she pushed forward.
However, Zach and a group of his enforcers appeared before Emery. Zach's imposing presence and the sight of his enforcers commanded attention.
"Don't stop me, Zach," Emery said, handing over the enforcer device to the dragon prince. His tone was respectful but firm, conveying his determination to proceed.
The dragon prince did not attempt to stop him. Instead, he simply nodded and explained that this was as far as the enforcers could accompany them. His next words held a weight of caution and concern: "Be careful."
With those parting words, Emery and his group of thirty magus turned away from the bustling scene around the gate and ventured deeper into the ruins.
