Chapter 762 - Who Is It?

The ship flew towards the island at speed and stopped right above the shore, several meters away from the stone house. The intensity of sand that flew to their faces lessened, as the spaceship toned down its engine and slowly descended to the ground.

Emery decided to take precautions and prepare for the worst by immediately employing all the skills that gave him buffs.

However, at this exact moment, Silva suddenly shouted something that made him stop his actions.

"Wait! The spaceship is my clan's, the Oroboros."

The words that came out of Silva's mouth certainly had the intended effect, giving a sense of relief for the two nervous people and ending the tense atmosphere between them.

When the ship finally landed its keel on the shore, the door on its back opened and a total of three people came out of the spaceship. Every single one of them was a magus-level figure, who wore a green-colored uniform with what appeared to be the Oroboros family crest. 

However, when this group of people finished their sweep and was about to approach the three youths, an undulating wave of powerful energy suddenly could be felt by everyone. The unexpected was, it wasn't from the ship, but from the direction of the ordinary stone house.

Roaaaarrrr!!

Following the ear-deafening roar, the stone house bursted from inside and was instantly destroyed as a dark figure, covered in black fur, came out and charged towards the group while roaring in an unbridled rage.

The black figure was obviously none other than the Demon Wolf, Magus Heorgar, who for some reason had woken up from his coma. If that wasn't unpredicted enough, the man had also appeared in his highest, most powerful transformation form.

From a simple gaze, Emery knew the magus had come out ready to fight anything standing in his way.

"Wait, Senior! They are our allies, stop!"

The word managed to stop the magus for a second, but Emery then realized the Demon Wolf's condition was far from normal. In fact, his current condition was much less similar to him when the Night Wolf took over: chaotic and uncontrolled, but worse, as the man was at least ten times stronger than him in that condition.

HOWL!!

A loud howl reverberated through the air, shaking Emery and the two girls' eardrums violently. It was the battle cry of a wolf ready for slaughter.

Seeing and realizing what was about to happen, both Silva and Annara swiftly took a few steps back, as they clearly understood this was not a fight that they could be involved in. They could only stand at the sideline, helplessly and unceasingly shouting Magus Heorgar's name in hopes that would awaken the man from his madness.

On the other hand, Emery became very worried and prepared for the worse. He was not sure if this group of three magus could stop a peak rank 7 magus in a berserk state like Heorgar. However, when Magus Heorgar was about to pounce on the group, another figure walked out from behind the three Oroboros magus.

The energy signature that Emery picked up from this figure was even stronger than a magus, clearly declaring their status as a grand magus level figure.

When the three youths saw the figure's face, the concern on Emery and the two girls' faces immediately disappeared. It was quickly replaced by relief, as they knew who the figure was. In particular, Silva's face beamed widely in joy.

In an instant, the figure disappeared from where he was and shot towards the berserking wolf magus at breakneck speed. Then with a spell, he managed to restrain the demon wolf by conjuring a powerful shadow rope that bound the latter completely.

Now that the raging Magus Heorgar had been put under control, the figure then turned to Silva with a nonchalant smile on his face.

"My lovely niece. Thank Oroboros. I am so glad that you are safe."

Silva was so elated that she quickly ran to him and hugged the man. "Uncle Sirye! I'm also glad you are fine."

The figure was no other than Duke Sirye, the grand magus of the Oroboros family that both Annara and Emery had met during the unexpected battle against the elves on Kurltumak Planet.

The man, however, appeared a little shocked to see Silva hug him so tightly. Stroking her white hair with his hand, Duke Sirye spoke.

"What's wrong, niece? I have never seen you act like this since you were seven."

After saying that, the grand magus gently pulled Silva away from his body and looked at her with fondness in his eyes. In response, the girl shook her head and beamed a wide smile at her uncle to assure him she was fine.

Understanding what her niece meant, Duke Sirye did not insist on knowing and just continued stroking her head. While doing that, he also gave an order to the three Oroboros magus.

The group took out a syringe filled with orange liquid, and they quickly approached the restrained Magus Heorgar. From the looks of it, it was clear they were about to inject the syringe into the wolf magus.

Seeing this, Emery moved towards them and quickly shouted. "What are you going to give him? Please Stop!"

Hearing this, the grand magus turned to Emery with an interested look and said, "I believe we know Magus Heorgar more than you kid. So step back and just watch."

Emery could only quietly watch the three Oroboros magus' actions and after the liquid was injected into Magus Heorgar's body, Emery watched as the latter's wolf body slowly turned back to his human appearance.

Then, it took Magus Heorgar a few minutes, before he managed to be fully conscious.

Regaining his clarity, the man looked around to assess his surroundings. When he saw Duke Sirye, he immediately walked towards the grand magus and went to give proper respect to the latter.

"My sincerest thanks to Lord Duke for helping me again."

After waving his hand to instruct Magus Heorgar to stand up, the grand magus then looked towards Annara, "What about the girl? What should we do to her?"

The words were simple, but cold-blooded ones. Emery was sure, depending on Silva's answer, this could be the end of the red-haired girl. Annara was also aware of this and could only be sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Silva spoke for the girl. "She's my friend"

"I see," Duke Sirye responded, while nodding his head, retracting the cold gaze he threw at Annara's direction.

Seemingly unaware of her uncle's actions, Silva spoke. "Uncle, let's go home."

Moments later, Emery and the two girls boarded the Oroboros ship.

As they went inside, the group could see several acolytes were getting off the ship together with a magus. Apparently, they were ordered to stay to take care of the broken ship.

However, Duke Syre had no plan to wait for the group, as he quickly orders the ship to take off and leave. It appeared that for some reason the duke was in a hurry. 

Emery could see Magus Heorgar acted very politely towards the Duke, almost to the point of deference. This was actually the same scene he had seen when Duke Sirye asked Heorgar to protect Silva on his stead in Kulturmak planet. It was clear there was a deep relationship between the two people.

"My lord, esteemed Duke, can you tell us what happened to the others? Heorgar asked carefully.

This was a question Emery also very much liked to know.

However, instead of answering right away, Duke Sirye kept quiet for a while. A few moments later, the man finally opened his mouth.

"There are some who returned to Oroboros with us. You will see them there."

Emery suddenly had this feeling that he was not going to go back to the academy just yet.
