Earth's Greatest Magus

"Who the hell are you?! Such arrogance!" exclaimed one of the magus emissaries, their expressions betraying a mix of shock and indignation. Another emissary turned a gaze toward Queen Soonhee, who appeared as surprised as he did. In reply the emissary shifted his gaze to Kasim, the sole magus of the Alvanic Kingdom, saying, "Don't blame me for this!"

Without hesitation, the emissary launched a powerful lightning punch at Emery. To his astonishment, Emery was able to block the attack.

"A magus!" he exclaimed, realizing that there was another magus present, and a young one at that. The other two emissaries shared in the revelation.

"Huh, a new moon and an old magus don't scare us!" declared one emissary, attempting to mask his unease.

Emery, maintaining his composure, wore a quiet smile. If he hadn't concealed his true strength, the three crescent moon magus would likely have fled in fear. With measured confidence, Emery calmly stated, "Did you say... two magus? Guess again."

To the emissaries' astonishment, another figure materialized, walking toward the throne with a thunderous voice that echoed through the hall.

"You three dare to come and make trouble in my home,"

It was none other than the supposedly ill King Jongsuk. Contrary to the information provided, the king not only displayed robust health but also exhibited magus-level strength.

The sudden appearance of the king prompted concern from Queen Soohee. "Father… you shouldn't be here… your health—" "Huh!! I am healthy enough to kick these three out of here!" King Jongsuk interjected, dismissing his daughter's worries with a confident wave of his hand.

The emissaries, now facing not one but three magus, found themselves in an unexpected predicament. In a moment of hesitation, they took a step back, only to realize that the young, arrogant magus was already standing behind them, undetected.

"What are you doing!! Do you dare to attack an emissary? Do that, and you will become the enemy of the whole six kingdoms!" one of the emissaries warned.

Emery, displaying a calm and collected demeanor, took a step away, opening a path for them. However, before they left, he delivered a message that hung in the cold air. "Kindly convey my message to others. I, Emery, will come to visit." novelbuddy .com

The emissaries, seething with rage, departed the Alvanic Kingdom with their entourage. The whole 10,000-strong army, a looming threat that had cast a shadow over the subterranean domain, began to march away from the Alvanic outskirts through the snowy plains.

As soon as the emissaries and their army left, King Jongsuk approached Emery with a respectful bow. "Savior, please accept my gratitude once again for your help," he expressed sincerely.

Emery had spent the last few days healing the king and aiding him in advancing to the magus realm. Now, with Emery willing to stand against the enemy and force them away, the king's gratitude deepened. Emery, ever modest, replied, "It's not a big deal at all."

However, the king's next words caught Emery off guard. "Savior, there is no need for such courtesy anymore. I have understood your intention and fully support your request."

Emery, still puzzled, asked, "You are?" The confusion lingered as he hadn't spoken a word about the orb. His bewilderment turned to panic when the king, smiling, added, "Of course, I agree to your request. I think Soonhee would not mind at all. I can see you are a very good match for her…"

"...."

Emery was left speechless. The king's assumption was a result of Emery's bluff to the emissaries about being betrothed to Queen Soonhee. Realizing the implications, Emery hurriedly clarified with an apologetic tone. This unexpected revelation prompted the queen to excuse herself in embarrassment, while Morgana's gaze conveyed a mix of hundreds of judgments.

The king took the misunderstanding with good humor, laughing off the unintended consequences. Amid the lighthearted moment, the king posed a question regarding Emery's last words to the emissaries. "You plan on visiting them?"

Emery nodded, maintaining his casual demeanor. "Just give them a few days."

With his commitment to help, Emery envisioned a comprehensive strategy that involved leveraging the existing tensions and dynamics among the kingdoms. Understanding the intricate history of the realms, he believed uniting the seven kingdoms would be the best solution, essential for their collective survival. The king, aware of Emery's intentions, was prepared to offer full support, mobilizing the Alvanic army of 5000 strong men. However, Emery had no intention of spilling a single blood in this endeavor.

As expected, three days later, the emissaries successfully rallied other magus powerhouses from the various kingdoms. Information was revealed about Alvanic possessing three magus figures, thereby tipping the power balance and establishing them as the strongest force in the seven kingdoms. A total of 10 magus convened to discuss the matter.

"We cannot allow this to happen!!"

A few quickly agreed out of fear, their apprehension evident in the furrowed brows and uneasy glances they exchanged. Some, unsure of the reliability of the information, hesitated in expressing their stance. Others outright rejected the idea, considering it unwise, especially since trust among the magus was a rare commodity, with some being more untrustworthy compared to the Alvanic.

In a surprising turn of events, Emery arrived unannounced at the meeting, using a spatial gate to bring King Jongsuk and Magus Kasim alongside him. The sudden appearance of the trio alarmed the assembled magus. Emery, maintaining his calm demeanor, remarked,

"A meeting between magus but not inviting us… this is not nice at all."

One of the strongest magus, a burly half-moon magus, rose to his feet, ready to display his strength. However, with a simple gesture, Emery effortlessly compelled him back to his seat.

"Gravity spell!!"

The rest who resisted discovered themselves similarly restrained by an unseen force, leaving the magus assembly in a state of momentary shock.

"You… you are not just a half-moon… who are you?!"

Emery, maintaining his calm demeanor, responded, "I will tell you all about me shortly. For now, I want to ask your opinion about uniting the seven kingdoms."

"What!? No! Never!" Four of the ten magus quickly rejected the idea, seemingly resigned to face whatever consequences lay ahead. Emery, however, calmly remarked,

"Good… honesty is the first step of trust." With a simple gesture of his hand, four more spatial gates opened, each revealing one of Emery's mighty allies. The intimidating presence of these reinforcements further unsettled the magus.

With a subtle smile, Emery continued, "I am optimistic that you all will eventually see reason."

The dance of diplomacy, persuasion, and the dynamics of power played out within the confines of the meeting chamber, setting the stage for the future of the seven kingdoms.
