Chapter 1405 Let Go

In the span of less than a minute, the vortex forming around the black hole in the air had become much larger, expanding by ten times its original size. By this time, the entire domain was on the brink of utter destruction as the intense pull devoured everything in sight.

As the black hole continued to grow, Emery had to pierce his root limbs into the ground to keep his body from being pulled into it. However, when he felt violent tremors shaking the ground his roots were clinging to, he knew that he would not be able to stay on the ground for long.

Nevertheless, Emery still continued to tightly entangle the female grand magus' body, not letting her go in order to devour every last bit of energy Zenonia had.

Feeling the dreadful sensation of having her energy sucked out, the female grand magus once again screamed at the top of her lungs, extreme fury evident within her.

"LET ME GO!!!"

Unfortunately for her, Emery ignored her words. In fact, her scream only made him tighten his hold even more.

He continued to hold on; even as the flesh of both of their bodies began to be torn apart by the extremely unstable gravitational force emitted by the black hole, he still did not budge.

His rapid regeneration immediately started to do its work the moment Emery received his first injury from the black hole. The healing rate was still somewhat inferior compared to the total damage he received, but fortunately thanks to the immense soul force he had devoured, Emery was in a much better state than the female grand magus in his grasp.

"You're crazy! Let go of me NOW!!" Zenonia screamed hysterically.

"Never!!" replied Emery resolutely, firm determination flashed in his eyes.

"You little Bastard!!"

As the black hole continued to grow. Emery eventually got to witness sheer despair blooming on Zenonia's face as she watched herself be destroyed by the gravitational force of her creation which crushed her body so thoroughly that it turned to specks.

For Emery, to be able to see such a sight; it was a rewarding experience. Something worth sacrificing his life for.

But just like all who reached the Grand Magus realm, even with the body having disintegrated into nothingness, the soul still had some power remaining; and due to her ethereal form, Zenonia was finally able to escape from Emery's grasp.

"You little shit! You just cost me my physical form! That's hundreds of years worth of setbacks!"

It seemed that without the restraint of her physical body, Zenonia was able to escape the gravitational force from the black hole much easier as Emery could see her moving about with rather ease. However, to his surprise, the next thing she tried to do was actually retreat.

"You shall rot in this place!!"

Hovering in the air, the grand magus' soul seemed to be trying to make a portal to make her way out of this place. Unfortunately for her, Emery would not let her leave just like that.

"You are not going anywhere!"

Rousing his spirit energy, Emery cast [Aegis of Void] and isolated the surrounding space. Thanks to the fact the spell had been greatly enhanced, and his target only had half her strength, Emery managed to restrain the slippery grand magus.

On the other hand however, he was also at the end of the rope as his entire body was about to be crushed like hers.

Within seconds, the black hole had turned akin to a huge moon in the sky. The gravitational force it emitted finally shattered the ground beneath Emery's feet, throwing him into the sky as several explosions subsequently occurred.

The whole planet, the dark plains was destroyed and pulled what was left, including both him and Zenonia into the Vortex.

Emery closed his eyes with a smile on his face. He knew that his end was here. Even so, he had no regrets. After all, he was ready to do the same thing over and over if it allowed him to bring her down.

Still, before everything finally came to an end, Emery couldn't help but think of his friends. He really wished he could do and enjoy more things with them, but it was clear that he wouldn't be able to anymore.

Then, it was at this time that the supreme magus' voice, which had been silent the entire time, suddenly sounded again. "I can help you, there won't be much remaining after."

Without even needing an explanation, Emery accepts the offer and right after he could feel that the supreme magus took over his body as Emery was watching from the back.  His mouth began chanting words, spirit energy surged out of his body as he, or rather, the supreme magus cast a powerful spell â€" a supreme level one, a Tier 9 spell.

[Stellar Divine Light]

Unseen from all prying eyes, the soul hovering between Emery's two cores shone brightly like a star flooding the entire chaos, erasing the huge black hole alongside everything inside the domain as if they had never existed.

Everything was covered by the brilliant light, not even a shadow could be seen. Enveloped by the light, all that remained of Zenonia's soul was a sliver of dark flame floating in the empty white space.

Still in the back seat, Emery saw his body hover towards the dark flame while saying, "It's over now, Zenonia. You have had your chance and you have lost.. Now let it go..."

Emery could feel a gaze coming from the dark flame, directed towards him. Answering his suspicion, Zenonia's voice sounded in his mind.

"This brat, he does not know the true extent of Khaos' power... I... can't let it go Master, I am so close to achieving it... I can't"

There were no other words, but Emery could feel feelings of hopelessness and regret before the dark flame became smaller and dissipated completely; with that, the end of the grand magus' life.

"She's really gone... master... Ii did it"

Emery took a breather and looked around him, there was nothing else but a white expanse of light.

The supreme magus' voice sounded in his mind. This time, however, his voice was like an echo, a bit incomprehensible, as if he was using his last bit of strength.

"This is the last thing I can do for you... good luck."

At those words, the supreme magus' soul gradually dissipated into nothingness. With the last of his strength, he helped reopen up the channel between the two cores and consolidate all the energy Emery had devoured.

Moments after, notifications rushed into his mind.

####

[Soul force increased exponentially... 20... 60... 100... 150...]

It was the power of Khaos, Emery could not comprehend all of them, but still he received such an extreme amount of it. On the other hand he also received some of the last of light energy from the supreme magus that boosted his other core.

[Integrating comprehension of law...]

[2%.. 4%.....]

[You have succeeded in comprehending the Law of Space by 26%]

[You have succeeded in comprehending the Law of Gravity by 10%]

[You have succeeded in comprehending the Law of Light by 6%]

[Emery Ambrose]

[Law of Space 26%]

[Law of Gravity 10%]

[Law of Nature 12%]

[Law of Light 6%]

[Comprehension of the Law - 54 %]

[Magus Realm - Half Moon]

[Soul force: 542]

Although the system states him as a halfmoon magus, having none of his laws reached the 30% mark for full moon stage, Emery knew he was more than that, much more.

Channeling his now stronger understanding of space, with a slight movement of his arm Emery was able to get out of what was left of Zenonia's domain.

Right after what was waiting in front of him was the fierce battle between the two grand magus.

One was fighting fiercely with his claws and one tried to keep his distance and fought with multiple flaming spells.

Emery's arrival was quickly noticed by the two grand magus.

The dark elves didn't think much of him other than seeing an above-average magus, the patriarch, however, was distracted enough by the extreme changes of his junior that he recklessly received a blow that knocked him to the ground, leaving a crater in his wake.

The wolf patriarch after all had fought multiple strong opponents before; Shan the tiger grand magus; Zenonia, and now this grand magus elf.

The dark elf finally saw an opportunity to land a finishing blow and he charged like a comet into the ground.

KABOOMMMM!!!!!

A large crater was created leaving no trace of the wolf's grand magus, but not because he was annihilated without a trace, but because Emery managed to pull him out of danger at the last seconds with his space magic.

A distance away, the wolf patriarch stood up ready for another round, but before he gazed at Emery with confusion "How...?"

His question however was met with a gaze full of resentment as Emery was ready to enact revenge for his master Xion. However, when he was tempted to hurt the grand magus, Emery received a sight from one of his plant creatures.

The ship where his friends were had just crashed into a building, surrounded by the dark elves reinforcements.
