Chapter 1070 New Warriors

Closing his eyes, Emery delved into his body and focused his mind on how [Mineralized Warrior] was a combination spell formed from earth and darkness element. Now that he was completely comfortable combining the two elements, it was time to bring the whole nature element into the fray.

A few hours later, Emery opened his eyes. He then extended his hand and touched the ground in front of him, materializing the concept he had and gradually built the new summon of his [Mineralized Warrior] spell.

A chunk of gleaming green jade rose from the ground and began to form a humanoid figure. However, as soon as it seemed that it would finally be perfect, it crumbled into pieces and fell to the ground.

It was a failure.

Klea, who observed the process from the start, encouraged Emery to try again. However, it turned out that the latter didn't need any encouragement as he was so determined to see this through.

Emery mulled over what went wrong, before arriving at a possible conclusion.

"There's not enough spirit force!"

Without further ado, Emery attempted to create another one. This time, he funneled double the spirit energy he used earlier into the spell. Unfortunately, again, it was destroyed at the last moment before success.

Emery was dumbfounded. Even with twice and then three times the amount of energy, it was evidently still not enough. There seemed to be something missing. He knew that he had figured out 99% of the spell, and only lacked that single but crucial equation.

It was at this time that Klea gave her opinion. "I think the power is more than enough.. The thing is, instead of a summon, it felt as if a lump of spirit energy was being infused merely for the sake of it."

Hearing Klea's words made Emery realize where he had gone wrong. He finally knew what was missing – what he had forgotten.

The inherent nature of the summoning spell was about adding some sort of will, or consciousness, into the spell to make it over. Hence Emery needed 'life' into the equation. Fortunately, he had one that could help him.

After rectifying his mistake, Emery took a deep breath and attempted the spell one more time. This time, he put a strong emphasis on his newfound Light Pillar to add the last touch needed for the spell to be completed.

This time, unlike the two earlier attempts, the humanoid figure went past the moment where it failed. A bright smile crept onto Emery's face as he saw the gleaming, green humanoid figure without features standing in front of him – a sign that he had managed to upgrade his spell.

[Jade Warrior]

[Jade Soldier - Type 1]

[Battle Power - 135]

It was a success!

Striking while the iron was still hot, Emery swiftly made use of what he had just learned from the creation of the spell to design the second type of the spell. One that focused on agility.

When he once again roused the spirit energy within his core, he put his hands on the ground and willed for the concepts within his mind to come into existence. Slowly but surely, the rough shape of the green jade chunk disappeared as it changed shape.

A few moments later, a gleaming green figure that was different from the humanoid emerged from the ground – a wolf. He picked the same form as his [Mineralized Warrior] spell for the second type, for obvious reasons.

[Jade Soldier - Type 2]

[Battle Power - 155]

Both summons were, technically, the enhanced version of his Rank A spell [Mineralized Warrior]. Hence he couldn't help but wonder whether this new spell of his could be considered a Divine Spell or not.

On the other hand, Klea got excited seeing the two summons. In fact, she seemed even more excited than Emery. Seeing her cute reaction, a fond smile couldn't help but appear on Emery's face.

"Let's go back now! It's payback time!" said Klea passionately. However, Emery stopped her.

"Wait, Klea. I'm not done yet."

Before they went back to the caves and took revenge on the Naga, Emery wanted to test his summons first.

Due to the fact that [Jade Warrior] was superior to [Mineralized Warrior], the spirit energy needed to cast the spell also increased. With the amount of spirit energy that could summon 100 Mineralized Warriors at once, he could only create 30 Jade Warriors.

However, a Jade Warrior had three times the defense power of a Mineralized Warrior and easily triumphed over the latter with its speed and strength being twice as strong.

On paper, this might seem like a loss. But reality proved otherwise.

To better know the difference between the two, Emery ordered the two forces to clash with each other. And as a result, the 30 Jade Warriors were able to defeat all 100 Mineralized Warriors, only losing a third of their number.

It was from this experiment that Emery was once again able to see the glaring flaws of the Mineralized Warrior against stronger summons.

To put it simply, no matter how strong and skilled his Mineralized Warrior would be, if their structure could be destroyed in one hit, they couldn't really give and bring many benefits to the battles.

Klea entered the arena and walked around the 20 surviving Jade Warriors, observing them from top to bottom. Having seen the battle earlier, a look of fascination could be seen on his face.

"Honestly, I'm impressed"

Emery smiled at her complement. Now he was ready to venture into the caves once more.

As the two of them appeared in front of the entrance, Emery cast [Jade Warrior]. 100 Jade Warriors was the maximum number he could make at once and not completely cripple his personal fighting ability.

Entering the caves, they didn't make a beeline towards where the Naga was. As a warm-up, they searched for a group of Lizard beasts, and upon finding one, Emery immediately ordered his army to charge forward.

Watching the ongoing fight made Emery realize one other benefit of the Jade Warriors. With fewer numbers, it took less concentration on his part to control them which in turn allowed him to do other things if necessary.

As the army of green figures was fighting the pack of Lizards, Klea suddenly exclaimed, causing Emery to turn his head with a questioning look.

"Emery, hear me out! Now that you have a fewer summons to control, you can try getting them to fight in formation! That would definitely increase their fighting force tremendously"

An interested look appeared on Emery's face.

"What kind of formation?"
