Earth's Greatest Magus

"Alright now for the main item!"

Emery's reverie was broken by Thrax's loud voice, who was excited to see the main course of the event. He returned his attention at his four friends whose attention was fixed on a gleaming black ring.

All were excited to see what was inside the last ring, the one owned by Full Moon magus. After seeing what they found in the previous storage rings, they all could not help but imagine what kind of fortune lay within this last storage ring.

The moment Klea touched the Full Moon spirit soul, her body suddenly recoiled back. This unexpected situation caught the four boys off guard. It turned out that she was assaulted by a powerful spirit attack.

The glowing spirit soul then seized the opportunity when Klea let go of her grip to try to escape from them. Unfortunately for it, Emery was quick to react. He promptly cast [Blink] and [Void Aegis], successfully containing the spirit soul.

"Please don't go anywhere.." said Emery to the spirit soul

After capturing the Full Moon spirit soul, Emery, together with Klea who had recovered, swiftly attempted to manipulate the spirit soul. Alas, their efforts resulted in no success. Not only was the Full Moon magus' soul much more resistant, but there seemed to be another layer of special protection on the storage ring.

A few minutes later, with a forehead covered in sweat, Klea spoke after trying her best. "I can't. Sorry, guys. The current me simply can't do it."

When they saw Klea unable to open the storage ring as she did before even with additional help, the group was faced with the decision of whether they should destroy the spirit soul in order to access the ring.

"Yes! Destroy the spirit soul!"

Thrax swiftly voted to destroy the spirit soul. Emery, however, disagreed and revealed how he heard that the said Full Moon magus was a certain important princess of a significant elven family.

Hearing such words, Julian quickly supported  Emery's argument.

"It would be wise for us to be careful in dealing with this matter, especially if it involved a powerful family," said Julian. He then added, "Besides if what Emery heard is true, then it means she is more valuable if she is still alive."

With this thought, the group decided to set the spirit soul aside for now. They planned for it to be checked with the alliance when they returned to the academy before deciding its fate.

Excluding the Full Moon magus storage ring which was still a mystery, the group gathered all the loot so that it could be tallied.

5,9 million worth of spirit stones, 35 Tier 4 artifacts, 18 Tier 5 artifacts, hundreds of miscellaneous items, and most importantly, one Tier 6 weapon. The group's eyes shone when they saw the mountain of wealth they possessed.

"How should we plan to divide this?" said Klea, asking the important question.

The easiest way was of course to sell them all and divide the money; all the 32 Tier 4 artifacts were valued at roughly about 1 million, while 18 Tier 5 items should be worth about three million. A single Tier 6 was at least another million.

That totalled around 11 million worth of spirit stones, giving them about a share of 2,2 million spirit stones each.

A wide smile appeared on everyone's mouth when they heard the total number. Even though it was only an estimate, it was still a staggering number.

Since not all items could be easily purchased even when they had the money, the group unanimously decided to select the items they wanted and needed first before dividing the rest to sell.

Emery was very much interested in the Tier 6 weapon and he didn't hesitate to show it. Even though it was not a sword, the weapon itself was able to drastically increase his offensive capabilities. He could use it to cut through things that his Savage Sword couldn't

When Klea and the others saw how much Emery wanted the dagger, they agreed to let him have it at the cost of a million of his share.

It was a very lucrative deal for him as the dagger would definitely sell for more if it were auctioned off. However, no one protested because they knew Emery deserved it for the things he had done.

But then, remembering Chumo's interest in dagger weapons, Emery couldn't help but hesitate – which was noticed by the former.

"No, Emery. You can have it." Chumo smiled as his hands brought up something. "I decide to keep these ones instead."

Emery saw four identical Tier 5 daggers dangling on his friend's hands, which cost the latter his share of 600 thousand. Although he was still a little uncomfortable,  Emery nodded his head and thanked Chumo.

In spite of the fact that the weapon landed in his possession, it would not bring immediate benefit. Like most Tier 6 artifacts, Emery wouldn't be able to use the dagger before he subdued the sentient spirit residing within it.

As he held the deadly weapon in his hand and showed the intention to wield it, a certain sensation of pain ran down his arm, forcing him to let go of the dagger. A frown made its way to his forehead.

"Don't worry, Emery. Don't rush and give it some time. I believe you can do it!" Klea said, encouraging him.

Emery smiled at her before turning to the others, seeing what their choices were.

Julian got himself a brand new Tier 5 shield named [Titan Shield]. Based on the description provided by the privileged class bracelet, it was an extremely durable shield specifically made for those with proficiency in the metal element.

Meanwhile, Thrax covered his body with his new Tier 5 cloak [Heroic's Will]. Despite it fluttering in the wind, the cloak was quite resistant. Not only could it be useful to protect his back, its enchantments also greatly improved his mobility. It even gave him the ability to fly for a period of time.

While contemplating the choices of his two friends, Emery's attention was distracted by Klea waving her hand in front of his face. The beautiful girl chose an elegant Tier 5 sword with a lavender-colored blade. It was apparent that it was something to replace the Tier 4 weapon she was currently using.

Now that they had each chosen an artifact for themselves, the group progressed to the distribution of the miscellaneous items. It didn't take them long to come to a unanimous conclusion.

Each of them would receive a life-saving item before dividing the rest equally. As for the herbs and potions, everyone without exception decided to leave them in Emery's hands. The reason was obvious.

"You are our apothecary guy, so you can keep everything. Just think of it as an investment for our future's wellbeing," said Klea with a cheeky smile, which was promptly supported by the other three.

Knowing they were right, Emery swept all the apothecary-related items into his Spatial Space. He of course took the [Orc Breeding Manual] as well as the notes Magus Kasin wrote during his research and experiments

Now that they were done, all the remaining items were packed together ready to be sold, and the one being asked to take care of the job was none other than the charming member of the group – Klea.

"I can't wait to sell all this stuff!" She said with a smile that sent shivers down the four boys' backs.

By the time Emery and the others finished their loot distribution, it seemed the Magus Alliance had finished determining their verdict.

The group headed together to hear the alliance decision that would decide the Nexus faction's future.
