Chapter 1396 Loss

In just one strike, one that was decisive and ruthless, a glaring hole was created in Magus Xion's chest. Emery could only watch in horror as his master stumbled backwards in shock, hands grasping at his chest. Helpless, the man could do nothing as his body eventually crashed to the ground, blood flowing like a river.

"No!… no… Master!!"

Emery screamed hysterically when he saw the bloodied sight of his master; rather, he desperately wanted to, but was unable to do so as his mind was overwhelmed. The two opposing thoughts fiercely clashed, both aiming to trounce the other.

He was suffocated by the strife in his mind. So much so that he struggled to breath.

In the end, he also fell, bending on his knee. Indescribable pain appeared in his eyes as he gazed at the wolf patriarch with bloodshot rage.

Seeing that, Lucius bared a massive grin on his face. Unfazed by the anger Emery was showing.

"Yes! Anger! That's how you get stronger, Emery. Cultivate it and you might become the strongest among us!"

Looking at the pool of blood that was forming around his master's writhing body, Emery could only grasp the ground beneath his feet, his fingers clawed into the ground. He was furious, extremely so. Yet he was just unable to unleash it; his whole body went against his will and simply did not allow it.

At this moment, the wolf patriarch turned his gaze to the north and his expression turned sour. "An elf grand magus… coming this way; we can't delay any longer!" The man ordered sternly, "Hurry, create a portal now!!"

A growl escaped Emery's mouth. "Urrghhhh!!! No!! NO!!"

To his shock, Emery did not act as he was commanded.

Emery might still not be able to do what he wanted, but at the very least his anger had given him the strength to fight back, to resist doing what the patriarch told him to do. Off course, this did not please the latter at all.

"Huh!! Still resisting, aren't you?!! You really need to be trained!"

Not waiting anymore, Lucius was about to grab both Emery and his master when a sudden distortion of space occurred near them and a figure arrived out of thin air. Said figure who appeared was none other than the master of space, Zenonia.

As soon as she arrived she glared at the wolf patriarch with a wicked smile.

"So it's you Lucius! I should have guessed." The female grand magus sneered. "Dogs are the most loyal indeed, always starving for their master's attention"

The wolf patriarch's face instantly turned ugly. He was deeply annoyed at Emery because his antics had allowed this to happen, but that was quickly pushed aside as his loathing for the female half-blood standing in front of him was far greater.

"How dare you do such despicable things to our Master!! You deserve to die!!"

Knowing that they wouldn't be able to get away with Zenonia around, Lucius decided to take care of her first. His body began to expand as he transformed into his Golden Wolf form, and without wasting time, he drew out his claws and shot forward, striking the female grand magus.

The earth violently shook as the two powerful grand magus clashed against each other, causing multiple deafening explosions to appear throughout the area. All things were blown away by the aftermath of their fight.

On the other hand, not caring about the battle that was unfolding nearby, Emery was fully focused on using all of his willpower to crawl towards his dying master. Even when the supreme being on his back fell, he did not stop and kept moving.

Tears flooded his face and anger overwhelmed him as he reached out to the pool of blood that is his master.

Xion was still alive, but it's easy to realize that life was coming out of him, the man whispers.

"Eme..ry…. You.. can resist him… you can… and go…"

Emery's heart broke when he saw that even the last bit of energy his master had was still being used to think about him. Memories of the past flashed through his mind, of the time he had with his master.

The man who was more than a master. One that was a family. A big brother. A father figure for him.

Gritting his teeth, Emery gave his all to get to his feet. Either it was because of his sheer will or the fact that the wolf patriarch was currently occupied, either way, Emery managed to open his Spatial Space and took out the [Advanced Lightsaber].

He then placed one of his hands on his master's chest while the other gripped the sword, fiercely channeling energy into it. The weapon quickly shattered apart which revealed the small stone within – a Divine Light artifact. He caught hold of the stone and immediately made his wish, wishing it to come true.

"Please… god.. If you really exist… Please help my master…!"

Emery waited, and waited. Unfortunately, even when his nature core had reached its maximum capability, still nothing happened. Even so, he still did not give up. Again, he tried, screaming loudly.

"Help my master!!! Save him!! Rebirth!!"

Emery's eyes turned to joy when he saw the stone dissipate into ashes. Immediately, he turned to his master. Hope filled his voice.

​ "Master… hang.. On.. master.. you.. you will be fine… Master."

However, a few moments had passed and nothing seemed to be happening. The spell was supposed to be successful, as evidenced by the disappearance of the stone. His wish should have been granted, but there was still nothing.

"No… no… what's wrong… no Master!"

Emery was devastated. In the meantime, the battle between the two grand magus seemed to be in the hands of the wolf. The female grand magus could be seen overwhelmed, battered by the latter's relentless attacks.

After sending Zenonia smashing into a massive piece of boulder, Lucius jumped towards Altus' unconscious body while shouting at Emery, "We need to leave now!"

Unfortunately for him, another figure came charging down from the sky like a falling meteor. This was the dark elf grand magus he had sensed earlier, the one who fought against Eeshoo, the lord of the compound.

"You are not going anywhere with my prisoner!!"

Once again, the wolf patriarch was forced to engage in another fight with a grand magus. He was struck on the body which sent him hurtling hundreds of meters through the sky, destroying everything in his path.

Still, everything that happened could not make Emery take his eyes off his master.

"Emery… just.. Go…"

"No, Master, No!!, I will get you away from here!"

At this time, Emery chose to activate the vest he was wearing, his hands tightly gripping his master. He could quickly feel the space around him fluctuate, indicating that the teleportation was about to occur.

But then, he suddenly felt the space around him distort, causing the process to fail.

The reason for that was the figure of a woman, the female grand magus who had apparently already returned to stand a few meters away from him.

Emery could feel a chill run down his spine when he saw her eyes on him.

"You are not going anywhere, boy"

In an instant, the dark ruins area turned into vast dark plains, wth dark clouds covering the skies. Instead of being teleported out of the planet, Emery felt as if the area around him was replaced. He had been teleported into a different place with the female grand magus still staring at him.

"You are now in my domain. Give up already"

Zenonia made her way towards Emery while saying, "I've been delayed too long for this." Her form suddenly changed with her skin turning deathly pale, teeth elongated and sharp like fangs as she said, " I will take the Khaos that resides within you now!!"

With a gesture of her hand, Emery started to float, hovered close to her. Unfortunately, with most of his body still restrained by Lucius' control, there was nothing Emery could do but accept his fate.

It was at this moment that an explosion of dark light was suddenly seen from the dying body of his master. A shining spirit soul came out afterward, brimming with power, as it swiftly charged at the grand magus.

"Master! NO!!!"

A storm of explosion appeared and engulfed the female grand magus, discharging the last energy of the magus. It was the last aid given by a master to his disciple in the hope that the latter would make it out.

Unfortunately, the final sacrificial attack had little effect on the female grand magus.

"Huh!! Such a foolish disciple, useless until the end!!'

With an annoyed face, Zenonia pulled Emery forcefully and before he knew it, she was biting on his neck.  It wasn't his blood she was devouring, but the spirit energy within his dark core.

"I will take it all from you!!"
