Earth's Greatest Magus

A distance away from the scene of catastrophe that was happening, another warship could be seen hovering in the empty void. It was a ship bearing the striking color of brilliant white with an eye-catching symbol that represented one of the biggest and most prominent factions in the Magus Alliance, the Nephilim Faction.

However, instead of rushing to stop what was happening, the warship did not move for a while. It remained still and only watched from afar as the two elven warships made their descent and wreaked havoc on the Magus Academy.

Inside the bridge, a young acolyte was seen throwing a tantrum as he screamed at the captain of the ship.

"Please, Captain! What are you waiting around for?! The academy needs your help!"

However, the said captain was currently having his eyes upon the two grand magus seen on the bridge. Beads of sweat could be seen rolling down his face as he waited for an answer from the two powerful figures.

"Elder, all forms of communication are definitely jammed by the enemy. It's definite that we will not receive a reply from the faction any time soon." Taking a deep breath, the captain spoke the question. "Should we join the battle, and help those people?"

There was silence for a moment, before one of the elders gave a response.

"No, Captain. Not until we know for sure what happened to the princess."

The other elder turned around and walked up to the young acolyte. Without any sign, he grabbed the latter by the throat and in a cold tone said, "What happened to her?! Where is our young miss!?"

Despite the pain he was currently feeling, the young acolyte tried his best to get his words across. "Please.. It has to be a recalled spell done by the elves; …please! help the academy, and we might be able to bring princes Jinkan back!"

The young acolyte was none other than Julian. He went and visited the Nephilim to persuade them, which proved successful, as they had arrived at the vicinity of the academy for quite a while.

But then, both him and the Nephilim's young miss Jinkan Nephilim, proceeded to receive the surprising recall notification.

Fortunately for Julian, the recall on him was canceled just seconds away from reaching zero. However, the same couldn't be said for Jinkan, and without the master of the ship, none of these Nephilim were apparently willing to jump into a risky battle.

"Please!! This is what your princess Jinkan wants!! Help them!!"

Unfortunately, his words just fell on deaf ears, as they all ignored him.

"For all we know, joining the battle will only endangered the princess, No, we will wait"

******

It had only been thirty minutes since the first elf stepped foot in the magnificent arena of the Grand Assembly Hall, yet in such a short span of time, the situation had devolved into a state that was unthinkable before.

An all-out battle of magus and grand magus; which not only destroyed countless buildings in the academy, but also started affecting its foundations.

The structure that was built over four thousand years ago atop an orbiting asteroid now seemed to be shaking violently. Cracks could be seen forming all over it from the utter destruction  created by the ongoing battle.

Unusual gusts of wind, unending ground tremors, and decreasing quality of air began to worry those who knew.

Emery who at the moment managed to fully access the blue crystal artifact was able to feel all of this happening clearly with his enhanced Spirit Reading. The thought of the complete destruction of the Magus Academy terrified him.

Oblivious to his thoughts, Grand Magus Yvere continued to guide him all the way. His words were in a whisper, but Emery could clearly hear every word he said in his mind.

"You don't need the console for what I want you to do. Now, calm your thoughts, and I need you to start to identify all the civilians"

Knowing full well how important this task was, Emery immediately put aside all distracting thoughts and cleared his mind. Immediately after, he mustered all the concentration he had, and with the grand magus' help, he started slowly by selecting about a hundred people – humans below saint level – to be teleported away.

It took a few seconds before a notification finally appeared in his mind.

[Target Selected]

[Select Destination]

Now that the matter of destination was at hand, Emery had once again fallen into a quandary. It took him much longer to scope out the surrounding area around the Magus Academy, but eventually he found himself having his Spirit Reading towards the huge planet where Golden City was.

Unfortunately, even after a minute of scouring, he was still unable to get a proper lock on any location on said planet.

Emery couldn't help but feel immense mental pressure because he knew that every second pass meant thousands more deaths. Fortunately, as if knowing his predicament, Grand Magus Yvere once again guided him.

"Know this, The more familiar you are with the place, the easier the teleportation will be. So try to find a place with that in mind."

At that moment, Emery felt as if he had an epiphany. Without further ado, he chose a location that was both familiar to him and within his reach.

His Spirit Reading swept over the dozens of planets around the Magus Academy, and he finally found what he was looking for – the planet where the Terra Kingdom was located.

Arriving at the majestic palace overlooking the bustling city, Emery quickly selected the green meadow next to the palace and wished for the teleportation to begin.

Once he got locked, almost in an instant, one by one, the selected people disappeared from where they were in the academy.

Emery wasn't sure if it was because of the target, destination, or the fact he didn't require the console to access the symbol, but his teleportation apparently didn't require a countdown before it executed.

He couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing his first attempt succeed. Without waiting any longer, he quickly selected more people to teleport to safety.

With the help of Grand Magus Yvere and the blue crystal artifact, Emery was able to teleport hundreds of people from the academy every second.

As he continued to teleport people, he later found that the weaker the target, the faster the process. With this knowledge, he managed his priorities in a way that ultimately allowed him to save more lives.
