Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1276 Decisive



Even though he had absolutely no intention of prolonging his fight against Mahinder, Emery still ended up with one as the fight had been going on for almost an hour at this point.

The battle was a contest of skill. Emery with his swordsmanship against Mahinder, who uses palm and fist martial arts. The two of them showcased their weapon of choice to the best of their ability as they put on a blood-pumping spectacle.

His [36 Dao Divine Sword Technique] clashed against whatever technique Mahinder used; from attack, defense and even movement technique, the two of them were on par with each other.

[Omega Strike]

BAAAMMMM!!!

A flash of light lashed out in the arena as Emery unleashed a powerful downward swing at his opponent. However, the light swiftly dissipated, revealing its true form of a black sword, as Mahinder blocked it perfectly with his [Iron Fist].

The clash was not without repercussions however, as the two were pushed back by each other’s strength. Both quickly recovered their balance and took the opportunity to take a breather.

“You are not a master swordsman like the Sword Saint aren’t you?” Mahinder said with a little glint of smile on his face, as if he knew his guess was correct without confirmation.

Shaking his head dejectedly, Emery responded, “Unfortunately, I’m not… not yet.”

“Very good,” remarked the Monk. “That makes me really want to see you two fight.”

Hearing the unexpected comment, Emery was slightly surprised before he responded, “Well, if you surrender now, you will definitely get to see me fighting him tomorrow.”

The Monk smiled slightly at the jab before he said, “The Sword Saint? Not the dragon boy? He’s hurt really bad, isn’t he…?” With a slight trace of disappointment, he said, “It’s unfortunate. I really looked forward to fighting him.”

As soon as Mahinder said those words, he shrugged his shoulders a little as if to say the warm-up was over. Immediately after, he started chanting words that Emery still couldn’t understand.

“I manaakitia ahau e tou kaha.”

Moments later, the illusionary form of a golden figure appeared behind Mahinder. Following the appearance was the sharp increase in his spirit power.

Emery’s face changed the moment he felt the pressure his opponent put out rose to a new level. Realizing it was the same move his opponent used on his duel against Olivier before, Emery immediately took action.

After all, this was the moment he had been waiting for.

In the last 45 minutes in which they clashed through physical strength alone, Emery had slowly replenished the spirit energy he drained from his spirit pool by passively gathering the natural energy around him with his [Nature Grasp].

Even though carrying out the process while he was still fighting was far less efficient than using the spell while complimented by an undisturbed meditation, Emery still did it anyway because he knew every drop of spirit energy he managed to recover could prove crucial in the fight against his current opponent.

Thanks to that, Emery found himself with two-thirds of his spirit pool refilled. He knew this was his chance.

Without further ado, he retracted his Night Transformation and returned to his Twilight form, preparing for the final decisive clash.

Howwll!

At the same time, dozens of golden arms appeared behind Mahinder, jutting out like a fan from his back. Along with the manifestation, a blinding light similar to the sun appeared, emitting a powerful aura that made Emery’s legs buckle slightly.

He slowly approached Emery as his figure glided across the air, when he got closer, Emery could vividly feel the pressure become much more oppressing before eventually the former launched his attack.

[1000 Blossom Sacred Strike]

Baaaamm! Baaaamm! Baaaamm!

As another dazzling light manifested itself, Emery was bombarded by massive palm strikes. They barraged him without mercy and relentlessly, each one far more powerful than its predecessors.

Emery was still able to deal with the first few strikes, but he was soon proven to be incapable of withstanding the ferocious attack. His grip on his sword quickly became numb and loosen as the weapon was battered by the golden arms.

Eventually, it reached the point where he decided it was better for him to plunge his sword in the center of the arena and fully focus his efforts on avoiding the rain of palm strikes. Regardless of Emery’s actions, the golden arm continued to dish out attack after attack.

Even though he was rendered unable to attack, Emery refused to use his [Blink] to escape. Instead, he decided to remain as close as he could to Mahinder, using the new trick of going in and out of the void, evading the palm strikes at an inch distance.

As a result of this decision, Emery took some hits and some other palm strikes grazing all over his body. Despite the fact he would most likely be lost if he made a single mistake, he continued to stay focused on his goal.

While Mahinder kept blowing out all of his power at him, Emery continued to secretly prepare both of his cores. The spirit energy within the two opposing cores churned as they cooperated together to create the greatest Dao Matter he had ever made.

To maximize its destructive effect, the plan was not as simple as striking the spell into his opponent. Rather, to unleash the spell at the perfect moment, which he determined was right after Mahinder finished using his Divine skill.

Hence, Emery still held onto the spell, for the many close dodges and taking some hits voluntarily.

Baaaamm! Baaaamm! Baaaamm!

Emery could feel some of his bones breaking, but he still held on, waiting for that opportune moment. Finally, after taking dozens more hits, the opportunity arrived.

In the midst of the unrelenting barrage of attacks, Mahinder came to a brief pause to catch his breath. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Instead of dodging the attacks heading his way, Emery shot forward instead. He took several full blows from this action, but it allowed him to arrive right in front of his opponent. Without the slightest hesitation, he struck back.

KAABOOOOOOMMMMM—!!!

A deafening sound rang out in the air as the sound of bones breaking and blood splattering was covered by it. Emery could feel his attack landing right on the target, but to make sure he got the job done, he directly executed another attack he had prepared.

As Mahinder’s body was flung back uncontrollably, Emery promptly gave chase and grabbed his sword along the way. A glint appeared on the blade as he swung it, during which a crescent-shaped energy was released.

[Shadow Edge]

Immediately after he sent the first and quickly followed with another. The two struck squarely at the Monk, creating a deep gash on the latter’s chest.

Splllllaattt—

“Arrghhhh!”

All the audience, even the senior magus were taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Meanwhile, regardless of the reaction shown, Emery was ready to swing his sword again, this one even more severe than the previous two. However, at the last split second, a powerful energy arose from within the monk.

The figure tattoo on Mahinder’s chest suddenly opened his eyes, emitting a terrifying overwhelming spirit force. Within that moment, the monk’s speed increased significantly as he dodged Emery’s attacks and countered with a powerful palm strike without Emery being able to react.

BAAAAMMMM!!!

Emery was flung back dozens of meters, hurtling across the ground. His chest was deformed, caving inwards with his internal organs crushed by the palm strike, as he lay there vomiting blood all over the place.

The arena fell into silence when they saw no follow-up attack, All of them turned their heads and saw Mahinder on his knees, in a similar state as Emery. Both of them were seriously injured.
