Earth's Greatest Magus-Chapter 1483 Rituals

Emery did his best to contain the urge raring to consume him, as he looked at the pitiful sight of Jason as he squirmed frantically on the ground.

In fact, he would have lost control if it was not for the words of the old grand magus beside him that were able to shake his mind out of the struggle.

"Stop! That's enough."

After taking one last glance at the young Corvin, Emery slowly stood up and sheathed his blade claws back into his hands. He then took a step away from his now unconscious opponent before raising his head to look at the Alpha King watching from the terrace, bowing respectfully.

The king only gave a casual nod in response to the gesture. But then, as Emery's gaze moved to the two blonde figures next to the king, he saw one had a deep frown, and the other one, Lucius, was smiling at him.

It took the silent crowd a few seconds before another round of thunderous applause could be heard. As Emery made his return to the crowd, he was greeted by many eyes giving nods of approval at his victory.

On the other hand, Annara was staring at him with a sharp gaze as she whispered, "You're really crazy, aren't you?!! You are going to give away our cover!!"

"Hmm…" Unfazed by her words, Emery nonchalantly said, "We will see about that."

After his fight, the center area was quickly visited by another pair. In the next hour, several more fights that were no less bloody than their predecessors ensued, before eventually the Alpha King decided to pull out the stop.

"It's time."

While saying those words, his eyes stared at the full moon above. Raising the staff in his hand as he stood from his seat, his mouth began to recite words – something about gratitude to the wolf god of the old and offerings of blood for blessings bestowed upon them.

The moment the Alpha King finished, Emery was surprised to see the blood that had drenched the garden suddenly started to rise and swirl in the air. It remained in the air for a few moments before unitedly going in one direction, towards the staff in the king's hand, where they were all absorbed without a trace into the ruby gem that was at the end of the staff.

Soon after, everyone watched as the Alpha King began to transform.

Powerful aura erupted from the man as dark crimson fur appeared on his body, his eyes turning scarlet and emitting a terrifying glow that sent chills down the spine. Everyone couldn't help but flinch slightly as the extraordinary strength of a supreme magus swept the area, followed by a loud howl into the night sky.

As all the wolf half-bloods instinctively looked up at the sky above, the white full moon slowly glowed blood red.

Emery was of course no exception to this. The mystical phenomenon pierced deep into his mind, stirring up the blood that dwells within him, as he involuntarily let out a guttural growl.

Without any wish from him, Emery's body began to transform, and to Annara's surprise, the same thing apparently happened to every other wolf half-blood in this place. Everyone raised their heads in unison before letting out howls following Alpha King's lead, one after another.

The series of howls continued for quite some time until the Alpha King came to a stop, prompting everyone else to return to their normal selves. 𝙛𝒓𝚎𝙚w𝑒𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝚎l. cｏ𝙢

Returning from his trance-like state, Emery was fascinated by the mystifying experience, especially the incredible changes that have taken place in his body.

[You have received the blessing of the Blood Wolf]

[Your bloodline just went through a purifying process]

[Gene purified]

[Twilight Fey wolf gene essence percentage increased to 45%]

[Battle power increased]

[Battle power: 263 (267)]

The experience not only brought him one step closer to his goal of recovering his former strength, it also made him recall a fragment of memory about a certain event in the past that was very familiar.

It was also a Rave held by and for the Wolf bloodline. Several packs of wolves huddling their members shoulder to shoulder as they howled together.

It was the memory of the White Fang packs that returned to Emery, along with their victories and tragedy. Everything that led him to place trust on the golden-haired Corvin in the first place.

Just as he was about to get sucked into the swamp of memories that had just resurfaced, the whispering voice of the woman next to him managed to snap Emery out of his reverie.

"Hey, you okay?" When she finally received a nod from Emery, Annara looked at her surroundings and chuckled as she said, "For a second there I thought you all were going to feast upon all the non-wolf in this place."

Emery thought that the completion of the offering ritual meant the conclusion of the festival; he was quickly proven wrong. The event wasn't over as the Alpha King had a few words he wanted to say.

Apparently, the Blood Moon Festival was an event that was usually held once every five years, and since there were so many prominent figures of the Wolf bloodline attending, it was certainly a good opportunity if one wanted to make an important announcement.

Showing much more vigor than before, the Alpha King started by talking about the increasing tension in the war with the elves. He followed it up by mentioning and commending some of the clans that in particular had made significant contributions to the Silvermane faction, as well as to the Wolf bloodline in general.

One could imagine Emery's surprise when he heard the man mention the Magus Academy's kidnapped acolytes mission, to which he gave the credit and applaud Lucius and the Corvin family for their involvement in it.

Hearing this Annara teased him with a smile "Your name should be right up there. You did so much more than him."

The King not only announced the war that took place but also about an affair of peace where several major clans managed to make peace with each other. There was also the announcement of someone who had achieved a notable accomplishment in blood research which specially made Emery and Annara look at each other with interest in the news.

Finally, after ending the announcement, the King left the terrace and entered the palace together with the grand magus from the three families.

It was quite a beneficial event for Emery, as not only did he gain an increase in his strength and recall memories he had forgotten, he also managed to see the key figures of the Wolf bloodline in the universe.

The two were about to leave when the old grand magus stopped him.

"Don't leave just yet, the King wants to see you."
