Earth's Greatest Magus

As a basic facility, the magus guild only had low-tier spells available for purchase. So after buying all the spells just like Klea suggested, Emery said his goodbye to Aeon and left the building, heading to the Three Sisters of Fate for higher tier and rare spells.

Emery of course knew that he should learn the easier, low-tier spells first before buying the higher tier. However, since he was in the Golden City and didn't know when he would come back again, he might as well drop by and purchase a few of them to learn later.

As the three of them walked towards the Sister of Fate's place, Emery checked his spirit stones and contribution points when he recalled how expensive those high-tier spells, especially the Divine ones.

[Contribution points: 1,430,274]

[Spirit stones: 292,624]

Those all were everything Emery currently had –  the contribution points originated mostly from the recent mid-test, while the spirit stones came from selling materials to the dwarf master and also from the ones he collected from the numerous beasts he had killed.

Klea leaned her head over, and as soon as she saw the number shown, she exclaimed. "Wow, we are rich!"

The use of the word 'we' somehow meant that the money was also hers, but Emery didn't bother to correct her as he didn't mind at all, especially with how much the girl had done and helped him the last few weeks.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the Sister of Fate from the magus guild, whereupon they entered the shop area of the place.

Just like his previous time here, before he could do any purchase, Emery was appraised once again in order to receive an appropriate list of recommendations.

"Here is the list available to you," said the lady attending to him.

###

[Divine Rank B - Sacred pulse]

[Light and Earth]

[Boosted spirit reading extensively by accessing the pulsating power of the Earth]

[Price: 1,950,000]

[Divine Rank C - Celestial sphere]

[Powerful offensive light magic]

[Price: 850,000]

[Rank A - Blade Ray]

[Tier 5 - Light]

[Using the power of light to create high energy blade]

[Price: 350,000]

###

Emery's eyes opened wide when he saw the price of the high-tier spells. It was at this moment that he finally realized that light elemental spells were truly the most expensive compared to the other elements.

Because of that reason, plus knowing that high-tier spells were much more difficult to learn, Emery ended up only buying the mid-tier ones that might be useful for him, both in short and long-term prospects.

[Rank B - Wings of Light]

[Tier 4 - light]

[Price: 50,000]

[A conjuration spell that creates wings from light energy to help the caster float through the air].

Emery chose this one because it could really help increase his mobility if he somehow ended up needing to prolong his fight in the air.

[Rank B - Light Whispers]

[Tier 3 - Light]

[Price: 35,000]

[A spell to send messages remotely. The range is dictated by the amount of spirit energy channeled into the spell]

Finally, a spell that allowed him to send messages to someone over long distances. Unfortunately, unlike the privileged bracelet which used the Magus Alliance's network, it couldn't send messages outside of the world the caster was currently in.

Even so, Emery still bought it because he could think of several scenarios he had experienced in the past where such spells could come in handy. With this Emery can finally communicate with his friends through spells

Since he had no plan to buy the other spells recommended to him, Emery decided it was time to leave. However, before leaving the place, he took a peek at the past divine spell that was offered for him to buy.

[Divine Rank A - Void Dragon]

[Darkness]

[Summon a mythical creature to abide by the caster's creature. level subject to caster spell power.]

[Price: 2,800,000]

Even though Emery couldn't honestly see himself summoning a dragon during a fight, he couldn't help but be excited to delve and figure out how intricate a top-tier divine spell was. However, he still won't buy it as he was confident he would be able to get a similar tier spell from being in the top 5.

He just had to be patient and make sure he was in the top 5 before graduating.

[Divine Rank B - Demon Eater Sword]

[Darkness]

[Summon a powerful sword with the ability to devour spirit]

[Price: 1,350,000]

At first glance, this spell seemed similar to the [Spirit Devour] spell he had. For that reason, he believed that learning this spell would be able to elevate, or even transform his devour ability to the next level.

Unfortunately, the price point was still a bit too high for him at the moment.

Seeing the sky-high price, Emery planned to leave as he was satisfied with the two Rank B spells he had just purchased. However, Klea managed to convince him to buy one Rank A spell.

[Rank A- Anti-Magic]

[Tier 5 - Darkness]

[Creating a space that blocks the use of all spirit force]

[Price: 212,000]

This spell could be a very useful utility-type spell considering his way of fighting, and Klea seemed to have the same opinion. She thought that if used right, it could really be a lifesaver spell.

Emery ended up not buying any of the divine spells, but he still came out of the place with zero spirit stones left on him.

"I'm officially and completely broke," Emery said to no one in particular, which made the girl laugh.

Now that his shopping round was over, Emery wanted to return to his spirit cave as he now had many spells he had to learn. However, just as he was about to head to the portal leading back to Hyperion, Magus Shena stopped him.

Facing the questioning look, she calmly said, "Since you just recently learned a new element, I advise you to visit the Light Institute and spend a few days in their origin stone chamber. While it won't give you much of an increase in spirit power anymore, the stone will still help strengthen and solidify your foundation.

This was a good idea. Emery was grateful for the magus' advice as this was something that had slipped from his mind because of how many things had happened and how long it had been since he had last visited one.

However, since the institutes were restricted to only those with an affinity for their respective elements, it meant that Klea and Magus Shena would not be able to follow him.

"I guess I could use a few days to visit my master for her to check on my progress," Klea said, seeing the look on Emery's face.

On the other hand, Magus Shena was also not without plans as she was thinking of returning and reporting to the Zodiac city king. However, before they parted, the Dragon magus reminded Emery again.

"Remember, it has been almost a month since your last devour urge was unleashed. Take care, and let's meet again in Zodiac City three days later."
