Earth's Greatest Magus

Gaizan D Reis, the notorious pirate chieftain and the youngest among the three rulers of the Turtle Rock pirates, had a dark history that spanned over 500 years. A mercenary turned pirate, he left a trail of planet-level massacres in his wake, earning a fearsome reputation that haunted the galaxies. Now, a hybrid grand magus, Gaizan's notoriety reached its peak, and he was driven by a singular focus – the annihilation of Earth Magus.

As the pirate chieftain continued to deflect the barrage of cannon fire from the moon base, his body bulged with the overwhelming power of his domain. His roar echoed through the vastness of space, causing even the fabric of the cosmos to tremble. Each energy beam that he ferociously deflected back toward the moon base left visible scars, damaging the once-imposing structure.

Fixing his gaze on Emery, Gaizan pointed at him with a menacing determination. "Your turn!! I will tear your body to pieces!"

The display of power prompted VIA to provide crucial analysis data on the formidable opponent.

In accordance with celestial standard measurements, the pirate chieftain Gaizan D Reis boasted an impressive [Cosmos Level 2], a rank surpassing even Grand Magus Perses of the Kronos faction. Gaizan's battle power was further elevated by his hybrid nature, incorporating the Law of Beast, granting him unparalleled physical prowess and the ferocity inherent in a beast.

In response to the overwhelming might of Gaizan, Emery initiated his Twilight transformation, tapping into the latent powers within him, and activated a series of buffs to enhance his combat capabilities.

The clash between the two powerhouses was imminent. Gaizan descended from above, his massive double-edged sword sparking with the essence of a two-headed tiger beast. In preparation, Emery readied his two swords, each imbued with the opposing forces of light and darkness.

A thunderous explosion echoed above the moon base as the two formidable forces collided, creating a shockwave that reverberated through the lunar surface. In the aftermath, Emery was sent hurtling down, defeated in the sheer battle of strength.

The aftermath of the collision had showcased the true might of a grand magus, where overwhelming physical strength, profound comprehension of the laws, and the power of domain harmoniously converged. However despite the explosive impact, Emery not only withstood the onslaught but rose from the aftermath, ready for the next phase of the battle.

The pirate chieftain, marveled at Emery's resilience after being subjected to such a blast. "Not bad!" Gaizan bellowed, his satisfaction evident. "Any magus would have turned into bloody pulp. This is good. I can slowly break your bones one by one!"

Undeterred, Emery responded with a calm smile, concealing the ace up his sleeve. With a subtle gesture, he commanded Chututlu to lend him the power of Khaos. As the dark shadow formed behind him, Emery's power surged exponentially.

Launching from the ground, Emery sought a rematch with the pirate chieftain, who eagerly accepted the challenge. This time, the clashes were shockingly matched, with neither side proving stronger than the other.

"Hahaha, very good!!!" the pirate chieftain was amused.

The battlefield transformed into a symphony of clashing swords and pulsating blasts as Emery and the pirate chieftain engaged in a relentless rematch. Each swing of their weapons met equal force, and a dozen clashes unfolded, their intensity resonating through the moon base and the surrounding space.

Emery's versatility came into play as he utilized his space magic, employing deft dodges with [Blink] and strategic blocks using [Aegis of Void] to navigate the fierce onslaught. However, every countermove he executed came at the cost of sustaining blows from his formidable opponent. Just as he had his overwhelming regeneration, the hybrid grand magus held his own.

The cosmic duel reached an equilibrium, and with each pulsating blast, the sheer intensity of their clash reverberated.

Chumo, observing the battle on top of the Moon base, stood with unwavering trust in Emery abilities. On the other hand, the other magus pirates found themselves bewildered by the spectacle.

"How... how could he match our chieftain?"

"Who is he? Is he really only a half-moon magus?"

Attempting to reassure the puzzled group, a female full moon magus—trusted aide to the chieftain—dismissed their concerns. "Huh! Even if he has the same power as a grand magus, no one can survive a prolonged battle with our chief!"

The cosmic clash between Emery and the pirate chieftain unfolded with relentless intensity. As the battle pressed on, the grand magus's command over the Law of Lightning began to exact its toll on Emery. A numbing sensation slowly crept through his veins, a paralyzing reminder of the formidable power wielded by his adversary.

However, any sense of celebration from the pirate chieftain was short-lived. Darkened veins on his arm exposed a complication he hadn't anticipated—a malevolent poison coursing through his system.

"Urghh!! You are playing dirty!!" roared the grand magus in a fit of rage.

Emery responded with a sly chuckle, "Funny, I didn't know a pirate could whine about chivalry."

The poison coursing through the pirate chieftain's veins was a malevolent side effect of Chutulu's power. Designed to be lethal to any magus, it proved to be an effective annoyance even for a grand magus of such caliber. In a fit of anger, he channeled his formidable power to force the poison out of his system.

"You will repay for this!!"

Emery, on the other hand, displayed a calm demeanor in the face of the battle's intricacies. Without missing a beat, he retrieved two pills from his ring and consumed them with calculated nonchalance.

One was the [Etheric Vitality Pill], a high-grade elixir designed to maintain his spirit pool, ensuring his endurance in the prolonged duel. The other, a rare tier 6 [Stormward Immunity Pill], provided him with enhanced lightning resistance, a strategic choice given his opponent's proficiency in the Law of Lightning. Both were potent concoctions he didn't create himself, but with his current wealth and connections in the apothecary community, acquiring such rarities was a simple matter.

As the pills took effect, Emery felt the surge of vitality and the alleviation of the numbing effects caused by the pirate chieftain's lightning-infused attacks. His body regained its responsiveness, and Emery's readiness to face the grand magus was evident, showcasing a meticulous approach to combating this particular adversary.

"Ready for round two!" Emery proclaimed confidently.
