Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 839 - Physical



Chapter 839 – Physical

[Hyperion]

Within a dome-like place with porcelain white finished, a figure was moving forward at an impeccably fast speed. Dark stones shot from all around the figure, yet none of them managed to land a scratch on his body.

“He makes this look so easy!” a female magus exclaimed from behind a panel of glass, her loud voice and expression clearly displaying her amazement. Around her stood a few members of the academy staff and a red hair acolyte, each of them observing the scene on the other side.

“He hasn’t even transformed yet!” the magus then muttered to herself in disbelief. The more she paid attention, the more she could not believe what she was seeing, prompting her to pay extremely close attention to the figure breezing through the obstacles.

At that moment, a beep followed by a message directed to everyone in the room appeared.

[Level 8 will soon begin.]

[Gravity space activated 30 times, gravitational force applied.]

The wall instantly opened and 10 instruments were added to the previous 30, quickly filling the entire dome with the projectile weapons shooting the white stones.

However, the figure inside the dome suddenly roared.

Howl—

[Fey Transformation]

The figure was none other than Emery. Five months ago, he went to the test room to check his physical and mental rank among the other acolytes, and today, he repeated the same chore as soon as he returned to Hyperion privileged center.

These seven levels were his limit last time. This time, as soon as he successfully went through these levels, he immediately used his innate ability, first-stage transformation.

[Battle power increased by 30.]

[Battle Power: 238 (268)]

Emery barely reached 200 points of battle power last time. However, unlike then, his first transformation now allowed him to move at a speed fast enough to dodge all those projectiles with ease.

[You have passed level 8.]

[Your physical score is 9,000 – Rank 33]

He looked around, and to his surprise, there were actually more acolytes who were able to pass the level, whereas he previously failed in rank 27. Looking at these numbers, Emery realized that it was not just him who significantly progressed in the last five months.

[Level 9 will soon begin.]

[Gravity space activated 50 times, gravitational force applied.]

At this moment, 20 more instruments came out of the wall. With the addition of those instruments, the place quickly became crowded with weapons that rapidly shot sharp stones.

With the seemingly endless barrage of stones from all sides and the increase in gravitational force in the dome, Emery quickly got hit by one of the stones from the side.

Bamm!

The stone was small, but it caused him to feel quite the pain.

“He finally got hit!” Upon seeing this, Magus Ramona, the female magus who had been closely observing him from behind the glass, suddenly exclaimed full of excitement.

Even after spectating for quite a while now, the magus was still amazed by how much Emery had improved since she last saw him. She even suspected that it was a different acolyte, but no matter how she looked at it, it was indeed the kid who was practically a nobody from the lower realm.

While watching Emery swiftly and agilely go through the barrage of stones, the female magus was unconsciously rooting for him to get hit by more of the stones. Her posture even slowly leaned more and more toward the panel of glass as she glued her eyes to his figure.

Unfortunately, that one hit was the only one she got to see at this level.

[You have passed level 9.]

[Your physical score is 10,000 – Rank 19.]

The magus’ eyes widened.

“He’s crazy!!” the magus muttered. She really could not believe her eyes. She blinked her eyes a few times and immediately looked at Emery’s figure on the other side to check if her eyes were deceiving her, but it only filled her with more disbelief.

“Even some crescent-moon magus can’t pass that level! What is he really?” Magus Ramora turned to look at Annara next to her and asked. To her disappointment, even Annara looked almost just as surprised as she was.

Although Annara last saw Emery more recently than Magus Ramora, the last time she saw his full power was during the fight against the beholder. Even so, that incident only happened less than two months ago.

‘What actually happened to him in the last two months?’ the girl silently thought, a little dazed.

[Level 10 will soon begin.]

[Gravity space activated 100 times, gravitational force applied.]

“There’s no way he’ll be able to pass this level!” Magus Ramora confidently said to herself. Still, her eyes were already glued to Emery even before the level started.

A moment later, the gravitational force instantly increased even more and a total of 100 instruments simultaneously came out of the wall. Even more powerful stones swiftly bombarded everyone inside, and in just a few seconds, one of those stones managed to hit Emery.

These stones were, in fact, metal piercing projectiles with the capability to tear apart even saint-level combatants.

“See, he can’t do it! Hahaha, of course he can’t!” Magus Ramora happily laughed with satisfaction. However, her expression immediately changed when Emery’s body began to change.

[Night Transformation]

[Battle power increased by 40.]

[Battle Power: 238 (308)]

[Battle Howl]

[Battle power increased by 15.]

[Battle Power: 238 (323)]

Howl—

The two ladies were stunned. The large wolf creature did not only dodge, but also crushed all the incoming projectiles. Even when the metal projectiles injured Emery’s body, his [Undecaying Flesh] quickly kicked in, making him unstoppable in this environment until finally, all the machines stopped shooting and a message appeared.

[You have cleared all 10 levels of the physical test.]

[Your physical score is undefined – Rank 5.]

With this, Emery had basically cleared the test. The dome simply had no capability to measure someone with higher battle power than a half-moon magus.

However, it seemed that four privileged acolytes cleared the stage before him, making him the fifth place by default.

It did not strike him as a surprise that there were four more privileged acolytes that could pass half of the magus’ physique test. After all, these people were the best of the best in thousands of worlds.

Magus Ramona was speechless. In contrast, Annara was so excited that it was clear to hear when she asked, “Are you ready for the mental test!?”

With his transformation came the primal urge for more challenge. Hearing the girl’s question, Emery glared in Annara’s direction.

“Bring it.”
