C1256

Multiple dark green roots broke out of the arena floor and spread all around Emery, their hideous-looking fruits began spraying dangerous spores to the surrounding area without discrimination.

Seeing the aggressive movement of his opponent's plants, Emery went ahead and also upgraded his jade roots, turning them into ferocious creatures that bite and crush the incoming roots into pieces.

[Primal Flora]

By destroying his opponent's roots, Emery managed to stall the fruits from continuing to spray the dangerous spores. However, he couldn't stop all of them at the same time with only his flesh-eating plants, hence one by one they began to wither as well.

Seeing such a situation, there was a thought that popped into his mind, tempting him to use other skills in his repertoire to deal with the situation. After all, he had quite a bit of option to choose from.

He could use spatial spells to dodge, gravity spells to push them back, his sword to cut all the roots into pieces, or even using his transformation to wreak havoc and rain destruction upon everything,

However, Emery quickly pushed away such thought and proceeded to cast the most powerful plant element spell he had.

[Seed Bomb]

Without the slightest hesitation, Emery threw the dozen of green orbs he had conjured toward the plants that surrounded him in all directions, manifesting a series of explosions that brought about devastation upon the forest.

Kabooom!! kabooomm!! kabooom!!

Emery was slightly surprised to see the sheer degree of destruction he was currently capable of.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Now that his spirit force had improved once again, as well as the breakthrough he had recently gone through, the spells he cast had become much more powerful.

With [Seed Bomb], he decimated more than half of the plants Mera had conjured, turning them to pile of ashes, and along with it was the annihilation of the spores.

The pale-looking female acolyte was seen with a deep frown on her face as she saw the destruction around her. She stared at her opponent and said,

"Is this all you can do? Mere destructive spells? You dare not fight me with plants?!"

Hearing the girl say such words made Emery sure that Mera indeed tried to manipulate him at every possible opportunity in order to win.

From bringing the grand magus' name out and luring him into a disadvantageous fight.

However, Emery thought of a way that might be the best solution to win this match

He casually walked towards one of Mera's plants that were dying because of his spell.

With [Nature Grasp], Emery channeled his spirit roots to try to obtain and comprehend as much understanding of Mera's plant structure and its spores.

Seeing such unexpected action from her opponent, Mera saw it as a chance. Without further ado, she mustered all the power she had and poured it out to create more of her roots. These roots were much thicker than its counterpart, with dozens of similarly hideous fruits ready to spray their deadly spores.

Emery, however, continued to stay calm, even when the roots began surrounding him and the spores they unleashed started to engulf him. He ignored all of those as he had just found the way and it was time to give it a try.

Emery touched the poisonous roots and cast his special spell.

[Photosynthesis]

A brilliant light like that of a sun shone from Emery's hand that touched the roots.

Just like the others, this spell also received significant enhancement with his breakthrough, especially with the formation of the second Light Pillar.

With basically double the power and the fact that the spell was the bane of Mera's harmful bacteria, in a matter of seconds, all the plants and spores turned to ashes.

He had managed to fully nullify Mera's poisonous plants that surrounded him.

"Y-You! You lied to me!! That's not a plant spell, isn't it?!"

[Photosynthesis] was certainly a plant element spell, but Emery had no responsibility whatsoever to explain it to her.

Now that he knew how effective it was, he confidently used the spell to open a path, destroying every plant he touched, and arrived right in front of Mera.

"You lost. Admit it."

Knowing that there was nothing she could do anymore, the girl decided to accept her defeat. It didn't stop her from showing her displeasure, however.

"Alright, I get it. You are indeed just like my master said." Frowning, she said, "You better win the championship, you hear me!"

After saying those words, she said her surrender and walked out of the arena.

"Emery Ambrose wins!"

With all the thick forest that obstructed vision, Emery's battle was not a popular one. However, the grand magus and magus instructors who were unaffected by such a thing couldn't stop nodding in surprise at Emery's versatility.

"A dual cores acolytes, nature and darkness"

This display, however, brought the much concern they have with Emery if he could ever form his core and break through into a magus stage.

As soon as Emery left the arena, all his friends immediately swarmed and congratulated him. Even though the result was something to be expected, everyone was still excited that Emery made it into the quarterfinals.

However, it didn't mean that Emery could relax. After all, the opponent he had to face next tomorrow would be the winner between the two people who were currently facing each other at the arena.

Eeshoo Nephilim and Atlas III

Two figures, one was the famous Nephilim protege known to have SS talent, and one was a half-machine acolyte.

Unbeknownst to most of those present, the two figures had a very interesting past together. Both were childhood friends, but now they had turned into rivals. At least that's what Atlas thought of Eeshoo, while the same couldn't certainly be said for the latter.

The Nephilim Prince himself had never had one friend figure ever since his extraordinary talent was discovered.

Now the two of them finally get to fight each other.

There were many words that they wished to say, but none were able to escape from their mouths.

Amidst the silence between the two of them, Atlas' half-machine body started to light up, signifying his preparation for the upcoming fight.

Worth it, Atlas finally speaks his mind.

"10 years, and now I finally caught up to you Eeshoo, I will show you what I have become."

The Nephilim prince appeared indifferent as he said, "I applaud your perseverance, but you will not defeat me, Atlas.. you never did and never will."

Atlas gives a little smile before finally charging fiercely to fight.
