Earth's Greatest Magus

Hordes of abyss creatures were on their way to attack both the transport and the helpless survivors in the underground caves.

Both of them were critical situations that needed to be quickly handled. They were equally important, and Emery could not prioritize one over the other.

The problem was, that the platoon barely had enough just to guard the base, much less cover two more areas. Hence, after a brief moment of consideration, Emery decided to inform Julian about the matter and quickly changed the arrangements as follows:

Main Gate: Squad Julian and Squad Ryan

East Gate: Squad Arcana and Squad Wage

West Gate: Squad Roran and Squad Rayne

They did not have much time; if he failed to be decisive, it would not end well for both the transport and the survivors underground.

Being the group of people previously in charge of creating the defensive structure around the transport, the Kaleos squad consisting of Anas, Sigurd, and Klea would be the best choice to handle the new threat.  To be sure, Orion squad was tasked to support them and the two squads of 50 plus acolytes quickly prepare to head toward the location.

Those two squads were probably the best among all the squads present, so Emery should not be concerned about their capabilities. 

What he was concerned about, however, was the fact that the base defensive lines had become much thinner as a result of sending those two squads away, increasing the risk of the base being breached by the horde.

Julian had carefully thought about the situation and their current defense capability. He decided that it would be best to call on a few thousand of Andora's strongest survivors to fill the second layer walls.

Although fully equipped with firearms these people would not be able to change the tide or anything of the sort, but they will still prove themselves to be of help by distracting the abyss creatures while the acolytes did their best to take care of the incoming creatures.

The help they provided was not much, and probably only bring unnecessary casualties, but they needed all they could get and in the end, these Andora natives should be given a chance to be involved in defending themselves.

Emery looked toward the base and the rush of people moving around the base.

He still could not help but be concerned. 

His eyes were directed toward a certain girl flying in the air on top of the bird and when their eyes met, from afar he said "Be careful," and the girl smile before leaving with her squads toward the transport.

Now that he have assigned people for the transport problem, Emery was ready to help the one in the underground caves.

The red-haired girl stop him and wished to join, but Emery rejected her offer.

"I need you to be my eyes around here. Look out, especially for the centipede monster. Call me as soon as you spot it, all right?"

It took a second before the annoyed red-haired girl nodded agreeing with the order, Emery then opened up a spatial gate to reach the underground caves where the defenseless survivor lies.

As soon as he arrived, he saw that the hundred thousand survivors had been told to move to the southern part of the caves. At the same time, 14 figures were standing tall facing the northern walls.

Atlas, Magus Bellaine, and her 12 saints were ready with their weapons raised.

"You came alone?" the magus turned to check and asked when she noticed Emery's arrival.

Emery shook his head and open up a spatial space and took out his little army. five chubby plant creatures stood in line, ready for battle.

"Ku… ku… ku!"

Atlas alerted, "It's coming in 5… 4… 3…"

Emery, Atlas, Magus Bellaine, and the 12 saints quickly braced themselves for battle.

Crackk!! Crackkk!!

One side of the walls breaks open, revealing a figure of the stage 5 Ravager creature.

With the creature's power, it was no wonder the stone walls crumbled so easily.

The ravager crawls out of the hole it created and behind it, dozens of other abyss creatures burst out from it and this quickly made the survivors at the back hysterically scream in fear and huddled together trembling.

Atlas calmly raises both of his arms toward the hole and said

"Incinerate!" 

Immediately after, the half-machine blew a powerful flame from one of his palms and multiple lightning bullets from the other, eliminating the creatures that were attempting to pass the rubble of the crumbled walls.

As for the huge stage 5 Ravagers were swiftly split in two by Magus Bellaine's [Wind Blade].

However, before they could finish taking care of the ones in front of them, more stage 5 Ravagers broke out from the other walls and in just a few moments, the rate of abyss creatures pouring into the caves increased rapidly.

The 12 saints fighters quickly used their buffs and raised their weapons and charged to kill the incoming hordes. 

Emery was ready to join the battle, however, with two-thirds of his spirit pool already used for the 200 summons on the walls upside, he had to rely on his other abilities.

[Immortal Gate - Stage 6]

[Battle power increased by 64]

[Fey Transformation]

[Battle power increased by 30]

[Battle Roar]

[Battle power increased by 15]

[Battle Power: 245 (354)]

He was about to march forward when to his surprise, he noticed something about the innate ability he just used.

The fey innate ability [Battle Roar] also affected the 5 Chizpur brothers.

[Flora Colosi - Stage 6]

[Battle Power - 125 (140)]

Seeing the unexpectedly great result, Emery cast another spell on his plant creatures to boost their battle power once again.

[Strength Sap]

[Flora Colosi - Stage 6]

[Battle Power - 125 (170)]

With this kind of boost, the plant creatures have become stronger than the saint fighters. However, the Chizpur brothers still needed one final touch.

[One Mind]

"It's time to show your ability!"

"Ku! Ku! Ku!"

With the One Mind ability, the six of them shared their sense of sight and hearing. This allowed them to be more aware of their surroundings and, most importantly, hear Emery's thoughts.

The five Chizpur brothers stood in line together with Emery, becoming the last line of defense protecting the survivors from the incoming horde of creatures.

The survivors who were previously in disarray were also beginning to calm down. The sight of the creatures crushing the walls terrified them, but seeing the powerful figures protecting them from those monsters brought them reassurance.

Emery pulled out his dark sword from his spatial space and positioned himself for battle.

"Fight!"
