Chapter 858 Fire Magus
Bradley Raven threw another high-level fire spell [Fire Artillery] towards him, as the previous attack he hurled didn't give any impact. However, once again, Emery was quickly able to create a [Jade Wall] and blocked all the powerful fireballs away resulting in his opponent's strike failing to inflict any damage for the second time.
Emery could sense the enemy's spell power from each blast. He actually expected the magus to cast a much more powerful spell. However, he was surprised to find it actually felt much less intense than the flame he felt from the Ouroboros warden.
He wondered if it was his opponent who was a weak magus, or whether he had become too strong that now tier 5 spells no longer had much effect on him.
Emery managed to block every attack from his opponent, without much difficulty.
"Arrgghh! You're an annoying rank 8 dog!"
Bradley yelled at the top of his lungs irritatedly. Atlas, who was standing at the back, finally said a simple sentence.
"He's rank 9."
Hearing such simple information made the man startled.
"What! Err… huh! It seems like you are lucky to have upgraded before I came or else you will have already been burnt by my flame."
As for Emery, he could only shake his head, when he realized that his opponent kept on nagging every time he failed to hurt him. He was perplexed as to why such people like to talk so much during fights.
Emery wished for a more thrilling fight from his opponent. In light of the fact his opponent's strike could only cause him a little trouble, he then said,
"Do you have a magus rank 6 spell? You can use that one instead!"
As the way things were going it was quite a legit question. The man was not his match without those spells higher tier spells. However, Emery's words quickly made his opponent even angrier.
"You little piece of shit!" He yelled at Emery, while his face started to turn red.
The man was furious, and just by seeing his reaction, it could actually mean he didn't have any rank 6 spells. Emery assumed he was probably just a new magus.
Nevertheless, Bradley swiftly used a new spell that completely covered his body in flames. Not only that, it also suddenly increased his battle power by a lot.
[Tier 6 - Armor of the Flame]
It was a magus level buff, a level higher than [Fire Aura]. This particular spell was possible to be cast and achieved when one had understood the law, in this case, the Law of Fire.
As a magus, Bradley received the immortal body, which gave him a default boost to at least 200 battle power, so with this fire buff, Emery assumed the man's battle power would also increase significantly.
The man took out a large sword as tall as himself and swung it around, as if it was a feather. At his position, he was prepared and seemed confident to fight him at close range.
The man's initial assumption was he had at least intimidated Emery, yet the man was badly mistaken. However, to be sure, Emery used his [Immortal Gate - Stage 5] to increase his physical strength.
[Battle Power increased by 32 points]
[Battle Power 244 (306)]
Right after, Emery calmly opened up his spatial space and grabbed out the pitch-black [Savage Blade] and was ready to let the man play with him a little, so that the fight did not seem too intrusive.
"Huh! I am gonna break that tiny sword of yours!"
Shouted the man as he jumped and swung the huge sword towards Emery. On the opposite side, Emery swiftly swung his sword up to block the man's attack. It had now turned into a sword fight.
Clank!
Bammmm!
The ground shook as the two swords collided and created cracks on Emery's feet. It was such a heavy swing, but Emery was able to accept it calmly and even pushed Bradley back, throwing the man a few steps back.
"Arrgghh!" Shouted Bradley, becoming more irritated.
Not willing to accept defeat, Bradley dashed towards him again and swing his big sword fiercely.
Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!
Unfortunately for the magus, all his swings were easily blocked.
"Darn it! I am a magus!"
The wilder the man attacked him, the more openings were shown. Now that Emery had mastered the basics of sword attacks and learned the [36 Dao divine sword technique] he realized how unskillful his opponent was. Emery could perfectly read Bradley's moves, who simply fought using his combat sense.
He let the man spar a few more clashes, before Emery decided to give him a round kick to the face.
Bammm!
Bradley threw back a dozen steps, with a bruise on his cheek and deep rage in his heart.
The fact everyone on the scene was a privileged acolyte meant they all could realize the difference in their strengths. From previous spell attacks and then the sword fights, all of Bradley's powerful moves were easily blocked by Emery without a single drop of sweat.
Emery realized the sudden change in the expression of most of the privileged acolytes at the back and decided not to make things escalate, therefore he said,
"Fellas... why don't we just call it a draw?"
Unfortunately, instead of getting a positive response, Emery didn't realize those words only infuriated Bradley even more. It was at this moment when Armand suddenly interrupted,
"Brother Bradley, the kid really looks down on you. Let us help you to give the dog some lessons."
Armand had been defeated in public by Emery twice. The most recent setback was particularly very humiliating for him. It appeared it still annoyed him until this moment, so he came for a payback.
Bradley was so angry that he was actually considering this.
"Come on, brother Bradley. You don't want to be known for being beaten by a lower realm kid just a week after your magus advancement, do you?" Armand convinced him once again.
The situation quickly changed and when Emery realized it, he thought of the idea of escape. However, he was startled to see the dark skin acolyte had already gone and was able to sneak behind him.
Emery was taken aback and now his feet were locked into the ground that has suddenly turned into mud leaving him unable to move. As if it was the perfect timing for them to beat Emery down, Armand quickly shouted,
"Let's all attack him now!"
