Chapter 1851 Third Gate

Chapter 1851 Third Gate

Three thousand magus had congregated in front of the Light Vault's third-layer guardian gate, anticipation coursing through their ranks. As the moment of the gate's opening drew near, a group of magus grew increasingly anxious, eagerly awaiting someone's arrival.

"Where is he? Why isn't he here yet?"

"Could something have happened to him?"

Then, a murmur of relief spread through the group as a figure came into view.

"Ah, there's Zach! He's here!"

Jinkan Nephilim approached Zach "Where is he?" she inquired, referring to Emery.

However, Zach, the Magus military commander, wore a peculiar expression "I... we do not know where he is, nor do we have any parts or knowledge on what he's been up to."

Perplexed and concerned, Jinkan pressed further, "What happened? What did he do?"

Apparently, Upon reaching their compromise, Emery had acquired enforcer tracking devices and set out to address various rogue magus-related issues. In just twenty-four hours, he had resolved thirteen problems, employing methods that teetered on the borderline of morality. Now, it seemed that he had become one of those problems himself. Unfortunately, with the enforcer's devices and his exceptional spatial abilities, none of the enforcers had been able to stop him.

Zach gazed at Jinkan with an obvious confusion "Is that scoundrel really is him?"

Jinkan chuckled softly at Zach's reaction and remarked, "Well... he's been through quite a lot in the past eight years."

As the timer for the gate's opening chimed, Loriel the high elves priestess once again opened the gate and over three thousand magus surged into the guardian chamber, their eagerness palpable.

"He didn't come!" Jinkan said she showed no intention of waiting and led her group of magus into the room.

What awaited them was a sight to behold - a colossal crystal spider creature with eight razor-sharp legs that reached skyward, its towering form soaring to a staggering height of three hundred meters.

[Guardian: Celestial Arachnids]

[Mythical Creature: ???]

[Battle Power: ???]

The battle commenced with a burst of frenzied spells and attacks. The massive spider guardian retaliated by unleashing a cascade of crystal webs that blanketed the chamber. These ethereal strands proved resistant to even tier 5 weapons, making it difficult for the magus to cut through them. The sticky webs restricted their movement, adding to the complexity of the battle. n//O.(v/(ε(.L(/b(.I(/n

Adding to the challenge, the guardian laid hundreds of eggs in rapid succession. These seemingly innocuous orbs quickly hatched, releasing one-meter-long crystal spiders into the fray, one that has the power to rival magus. The chamber became a chaotic battleground as magus struggled to fend off the relentless assault.

Emery didn't immediately join Jinkan in the fray. Instead, he observed the situation carefully.

[Celestial Arachnids]

[9,978/10,000]

With this type of opponent, It seemed that the battle was destined to drag on for hours. After all, most of the 3,000 magus present were preoccupied with battling the small spiders, and only a few hundred dared to venture through the poisonous smoke.

What concerned Emery was that most of those who braved the smoke were elves. The idea of fighting inside the poisonous haze surrounded by elves made him uneasy. He contemplated engaging in long-range combat when a familiar group of magus approached him – it was Shatter Cross and his 20 magus.

"Emery, I see you have the antidote for this. Give us some!" Shatter Cross requested.

Emery's smile widened, and he responded, "Of course, for old times' sake. Twenty antidotes for two shards."

"..."

"What!! Emery, how could you do that? We even stood with you against the dark elves before, we risked our lives for you!" Shatter Cross protested, his voice edged with disappointment.

Emery, however, remained composed in the face of Shatter's complaints. He replied calmly, "Yes, Shatter, and I will do the same for you. That's also why I came to save you from that dark elves planet years ago"

Shatter Cross grumbled in frustration, clearly torn between his desire for the antidote and his frustration with Emery's greed. Ultimately, he was pressured to get more points for his faction, hence he reluctantly handed over two pieces of celestial shards.

"Now give it to me, I'm in a hurry!" Shatter Cross demanded impatiently.

However, Rather than immediately providing the antidote pills, Shatter was stunned seeing Emery pulling out an apothecary cauldron and setting it up on the battlefield.

"What the hell, Emery? You're going to make the antidote now?" Shatter Cross exclaimed, his frustration palpable.

Emery maintained his calm demeanor and offered a nonchalant response, "Well, did I say I had the antidote ready? Don't worry; I can have it finished in a few minutes."

In truth, Emery did still have a few dozen toxin pills on hand, but he intentionally decided to make a spectacle of the situation. As he began setting up an apothecary cauldron, magus from various factions, intrigued by the prospect of obtaining antidotes, started to gather around him.

"We need antidotes too! Trade us some!" called out one magus.

Emery's smile widened as he responded, "Don't worry! Line up, everyone! I have enough for everyone!"

The magus formed an orderly queue, each one eager to secure an antidote. Emery worked efficiently, brewing batch after batch, all the while collecting celestial shards in exchange.
