Ery stood in the center of the training ground, the sun casting long shadows across the yard. On either side of him stood two formidable grand magus: the purple-haired Fantas, a fierce female warrior of wolf bloodline, and Anpu, the dark-skinned jackal hybrid. The crowd around them watched in anticipation, sensing the tension in the air.
Anpu, a loyal follower for the past four years, had proven his worth during the pirate campaign. He bowed deeply to Ery, his respect and allegiance clear. Fantas, however, was different. She had been forced into service by the Silvermane faction. While she displayed courtesy toward Ery, it was more out of respect for the Alpha King than genuine reverence for Ery himself.
"Lord, I think it's unwise to fight both of us," Fantas said, her tone respectful but her eyes challenging.
Ery responded with a casual, confident smile. "Don't worry, Please, do your best. Let's not embarrass ourselves in front of this audience."
Unlike the female grand magus, Anpu knew more about Ery's strength. He had sparred with Ery several tis and had co to both respect and fear Ery's hidden power. Without hesitation, he pulled out a pair of tier 6 weapons, one in each hand, and summoned the power of his domain. A dark aura began to engulf his body, a nacing shroud that sent chills through the onlookers.
Ery responded by drawing his savage blade. As he did, he activated the 8th stage of the Immortal Gate, enhancing his body with Khaos's power. Without Chututlu, he could only harness a third of its full potential, but even this partial power was formidable. The combination boosted his total battle power to just over 1000, equivalent to an average one cosmos grand magus.
Fantas watched them both, her expression a mix of curiosity and calculation. She had not yet engaged, but her presence was palpable, her own power simring just beneath the surface.
"My Lord, I will start," Anpu declared, his voice filled with determination. With that, he charged forward, his speed causing the ground to crack and break beneath him. The audience watched in amazent as Anpu dashed towards Ery, his movents a blur of power and agility. Yet, their astonishnt grew as Ery effortlessly matched Anpu's speed and strength, moving with a fluid grace that belied his imnse power.
Anpu was a formidable warrior, embodying the raw physical prowess typical of grand magus hybrids. His jackal lineage endowed him with a physique that had propelled him to the magus realm and, after centuries of honing his abilities, to the grand magus realm. Despite his physical advantages, Anpu shared a common limitation among hybrids: a lower comprehension of elental mastery, which restricted his spell repertoire. Instead, he relied on his innate skills and killer moves to dominate his opponents.
[Jackal's Might] boosts his battle power close to 200 points, reaching the 1200 battle power limit. [Shadow Drift], a movent technique that allows him to maneuver around the battlefield, and [Eye of Annihilation] shoots a ray of energy with destructive power.
To counter his lack of sheer battle power, Ery relied on his versatility in spells: utilizing space magic for swift movents and plant magic for supportive maneuvers. Empowered by Khaos energy, these abilities enabled him to deftly evade all of Anpu's attacks and respond with newly refined sword techniques.
"Our Lord can match the power of a grand magus! He's truly incredible!" exclaid one spectator in awe.
"Huh, you know nothing! Our Lord hasn't even transford yet," retorted another, scoffing at the spectacle.
Ery's display of strength not only astonished those who had underestimated him, like Fantas, but also surprised Anpu and his allies who recognized Ery's significant growth over the past few months. It was clear to them that Ery had surpassed re advancent to the full moon realm; he had transcended it entirely.
Ery's sword landed a decisive blow on Anpu, sending the hybrid staggering back several ters. He then turned his gaze towards the female grand magus with a challenging expression. Sheathing his sword, Ery began to transform into his Twilight form, a state that further augnted his battle power, now nearing 1300.
A fierce howl reverberated across the training ground as Ery's transformation intimidated even Fantas's wolf beasts. In response, she transford [Lilac Mirage Wolf], and invoked her innate ability allowing her to split into three identical forms. One with purple hair engaged in close combat with a weapon similar to Anpu's, another with pink hair wielded a long-range bow, and the third with bluish focused on spellcasting. Empowered by her domain, each of Fantas's forms nearly Anpu's formidable strength.
The training ground erupted into a chaotic four-against-one showdown as Ery found himself surrounded from multiple sides. Spectacular clashes echoed through the area, each strike and spell resonating with raw power that stunned the audience into silence.
Despite being outnumbered, Ery fought on with unwavering persistence. He skillfully utilized his [Spirit Devour] ability to disrupt the grand magus' reservoir of spirit energy, evening the playing field. However, Fantas's strength exceeded his expectations. Her profound mastery of the law of transformation and illusion granted her exceptional control over her stamina and cosmic energy reserves. Combined with her wolf-like physique, Fantas could be considered at the pinnacle of one cosmos grand magus realm, a figure at a similar level to Ramos the Blazing Wind.
The battle between Ery and the two grand magus intensified into a spectacle of flashing spells and thundering clashes. With every strike and counter, sparks flew and arcane energies crackled through the air, creating a chaotic scene on the training ground. Spectators, realizing the intensity of the fight, hastily cast protective spells to shield themselves from stray magical blasts and debris.
As the confrontation stretched on with more than a hundred clashes, the training ground beca a battleground strewn with remnants of magical impacts and scorched earth. Ery, despite his skillful maneuvers and strategic spellcasting, found himself unable to defeat the two combined strenght of Fantas and Anpu. Sensing the escalating danger and unwilling to reveal his full power or primal form to the watching crowds, Ery made a calculated decision to stop the fight.
He acknowledged the impressive strength of Fantas and Anpu, praising their skill and resilience amidst the intense combat. To demonstrate his respect, Ery generously bestowed each of them with a tier 6 artifact from his treasured collection, acquired from Mo Yan's loot, which earned him their sincere appreciation.
The sparring session concluded exactly as Ery had envisioned. The display of skill and camaraderie among the warriors of Terra not only boosted their confidence but also ignited a renewed excitent and dedication to train harder for the challenges that lay ahead.
