Earth's Greatest Magus Chapter 543 - Khaos Space

"Killgragah, I have returned!" shouted Ery, as he stepped into the Khaos Space.

Unexpectedly, the usually grumpy dragon didn't seem to be mad this ti. In fact, it also didn't seem to be interested nor excited about his appearance.

It batted one of its eyes at him and said, "I see you have managed to create the dual spirit core. Congratulations! It's a very exceptional achievent for a human" The dragon appeared to be laughing and said, "You can thank for that."

Ery knew the dragon had only wanted him to train the dark core. He severed his spirit core the first chance he got. It was a glaring truth between the two of them that the dragon never had supported his dual core idea, not even once.

Even though that was the case, what Killgragah said did hold so truth to it. In so kind of odd way, the dragon did have a hand in this matter.

To make the dragon's odd mood improve, Ery decided to praise the forr till kingdom co. "That's right. You are absolutely correct, Your Excellency. O, Supre beings. If it wasn't because of your greatness, all of this would never have happened."

"Hufff!" Unlike usual, the dragon only seed slightly appeased by his flattery, which was apparent from its response. It seed this ti it was really disappointed with him.

Realizing that, Ery knew it was ti to use his back up strategy,

"Killgragah, I have good news!" He said 'excitedly'. "I will fight that witch in five days!"

There was still no response from the mighty dragon after Ery said that. However, that indifferent attitude it displayed would not fool him, as he saw the slight movent the other party's lips did. The dragon was definitely amused by the news.

Confident with his guess, Ery continued on.

"Alas, it's such an unfortunate fact the witch is much stronger than . It will be a pity if your student here dies in such a fight. Don't you think so?"

Finally, he managed to incite a reaction from the dragon with the words he just said.

"Huh?!! If you lose against the witch again, I will never allow you to enter the Khaos Space again!" He scoffed. "Heh! And If that's the case, death will be the best case for you!

Ery was silent as he heard Killgragah's words, but he really was waiting for another reaction from the dragon and a few seconds later, Killgragah really did open his mouth.

"Co closer! Let see your spirit core!"

Like the usual, the dragon bead an aura at Ery, causing him to hover in the air a little. Ery himself proceeded to check in his current stats.

[Ery Ambrose]

[Battle Power: 73 (55)]

[Spirit Force: 567 (418)]

[Spirit Core of Darkness – Stage 5]

[Spirit Core of Nature - Stage 1]

[Fey Bloodline – Rank 3]

[Acolyte Rank: 8]

Ever since his journey from Gaya temple, which was 2 months ago, Ery had managed to raise his spirit force by 34 points. This was actually a pretty satisfactory improvent

It took the dragon a re minute to basically understand his current condition.

"Hmm… Your dual spirit core has indeed improved your cultivation trendously. It even allows you to pass the limit of rank 8 acolyte. But this also ans it will be harder for you to reach rank 9 now..." Killgragah said with a complicated tone.

On one hand, the dragon was happy Ery's cultivation had greatly improved. But on the other side, the aftermath of this improvent left a sowhat bitter taste in its mouth.

Killgragah was about to say more when he noticed sothing. "Hmm!? Your aptitude also increases! Huh! About ti!"

Ery could only smile wryly when he heard the contempt in the dragon's words.

In the anti, Killgragh had been mumbling words as he read through Ery's stats. After he was done, he told Ery to cast all the spells he knew.

[Whiplash], [Water Breathing], [Stone Skin], [Soften Earth], [Mud Wall], [Entangled], [Fragntation], [Black Smoke], [Shadow Step], [Hidden in Shadow], [Enfeeble Blade],? [Dark Matter], [Blink], [Spatial Gate], [Spatial Storage]; every spells in Ery's repertoire, both from nature and dark elent, that he regularly and rarely used were all casted in succession in front of the mighty dragon.

After what seed to be a spell performance ended, Killgragah could be seen nodding his head.

"Your spells have certainly undergone a substantial improvent of their own... I can even see you manage to create a bridge between your two cores!" Killgragah groaned. "Urrghh!! Your spirit cores are too complicated for !"

Ery could understand Killgragah's limitation. Even though the dragon was a mythical being and had lived a very long ti, the dragon was still a beast after all.

There was no way he could expect guidance with a standard similar to that of Magus Academy's teachers and ntors.

"Alright. Now let's see if you are able to absorb the Khaos energy faster."

Ery nodded his head and quickly sat in lotus position. He imdiately focused his concentration as he dove into a deep state of cultivation.

…

It was the first ti he cultivated the Khaos Space energy with his dual spirit core and the results were amazing, he could feel a rush of energy filling both cores.

[Spirit force increased]

The familiar notification that ca to Ery's mind certainly felt the sa as lodious music to his ears. But after a while, it was followed by a little strain in the channel he created between the two cores.

"I see you are trying to balance the two cores! It was no easy matter, especially here!"

Ery nodded and understood, if Nature's Grasp could give him a slow wave of energy, the Khaos Space was like a fierce river. Ery started to chant the Dao cultivation to control the flow.

To his surprise, Ery could feel the dragon sending him an aura to show him how to cultivate the dark core better during such a sittuation.

[Spirit force increased]

It was the second increase today, which quickly excited him.

With the help of his [Nature Grasp], Ery prviously could only increase his spirit power by three to four points per week. But now, he had received two points increase in a re twenty four hours! A massive improvent!

However, the mighty dragon was still disappointed with this result.

"Huh?! Only two points? Still disappointing!" Killgragh comnted as he saw Ery's elated face.

The dragon might look disappointed, but the fact he still helped him just now really made him feel grateful.? He just couldn't help but wonder what kind of earth-shattering talents this dragon had seen before.

Taking his thoughts off the reverie, Ery once again gave the future a thought. He had about nine months left until the recall to the academy. And with his current rate of spirit force improvent, he might be able to reach or even go past the 1000 spirit force requirent.

But for now, he was more concerned about the duel he would be having in four days. Five to ten more points in spirit force would not bring much significance for the upcoming battle. Hence, Ery needed to bring sothing different to the table.

He looked upon Killgragah and smiled. "Kilgragah, it has been three years since we have known each other, right...?"

The dragon opened one of its eyes and looked at him. "...So? I am more than 3000 years old, kid. A re three years is nothing to !" He said. "Just blurt it out! What do you want?"

Ery bead his brightest smile at Killgragah as he said, "You see, the blink spell and spatial gate are amazing. So, I wonder if you have any other spells you can teach ." The smile turned into a grin as his true intention was revealed.

"Huh?! No!" Killgragah said with a grunt. "Kid, I am this close to killing you myself for making wait all these months. Focus on getting to rank 9 already, not only will the secrets of Khaos be open for you, I will even teach you a rank 5 spell. As for now, No! This great being has no desire in teaching low level spells."

What Ery was doing at the mont was truly the peak depiction of shalessness. Even so, he would rather be shaless now, than lose or at worst die in the battle to co.

"So, is there nothing at all you can do to help in the battle?"

Unexpectedly, Killgragah raised his massive body and said, "Of course, I do. How about… I co out of this place and burn all those barbarians for you… How does that sound!?"

"Wow! That's a bit too much, but YES!!" replied Ery energetically. "Please do! That should do the work!"

"Are you stupid, kid!??" Killgragah said loudly.

With his claw, Killgragah showed the chain that was tied to his neck. "I'll be honest with you, kid. If you are able to break this chain for , forget about those barbarians, I'll even let you ride as a reward!" He said, while laughing boisterously at Ery.

Ery, on the other hand, seed unperturbed by the dragon's laughter. In fact, he wasn't affected by it at all.

"It's a deal then!" He calmly said. "I will take your word for it."

This matter was naturally not possible to be resolved for the current him, but Ery would definitely make the dragon keep his word in the future.

The dragon then continued to babble that, if he had focused on the path of darkness, he would have receive the secret of Khaos now and all his problems would be easy to deal with.

At the mont, Ery still needed a way to help for the upcoming battle and the Dragon seed unable, or unwilling, to help.

He accessed his spatial storage and tried to think of ideas as he rummaged through its contents. Looking at his stats and the items in his spatial storage, Ery decided to try to do the one thing that should be able to quickly change the result of the battle.

Apothecary.
