Earth's Greatest Magus-Chapter 1502 Cave In

As the cave continued to be shaken by violent tremors, Emery and his group were met with a rain of falling rocks from the ceiling above them. Even though those rocks were hard and sharp, they were not threatening for Emery and the magus guard. However, the same couldn't be said for Yoro and the other saint-level guards.

While all pairs of eyes were occupied by the sight of falling rocks and trying to dodge them, Emery's attention focused on something else. His eyes watched as a group of Sky and Saint realm miners came charging in their direction: they were rioting.

Immediately, Emery grabbed Yoro and dashed away from what appeared to be a calculated ambush by the miners.

Due to the falling rocks, a total of three saint-level guards were rendered helpless. Meanwhile, the other guards who were distracted by the rocks were unable to react until the miners drew near, by that time they were quickly overwhelmed.

On the other hand, the magus guard was able to deal with the group of miners that were attacking him. However, while he focused on protecting the middle-aged man, more and more guards were put down by the miners.

"These crazy bastards! You will all regret this!" The thin man shouted in panic.

To Emery's surprise, the man and the magus decided not to stay and stop the miners. They swiftly shot for the mine entrance, leaving the half a dozen surviving saint-level guards to fend for themselves.

As time went on, more and more miners joined the rebellion, causing the commotion to become extremely chaotic as more guards arrived in the area and joined their colleagues to stop them from advancing.

Unfortunately for the miners, now that the guards knew and were prepared, with their relatively stronger force and better weapons, it would take a while before they could break through the defensive lines the guards set up.

At this moment, Emery had two options to choose from. To continue to run and escape the mine or to stay and help the guards quell the rebellion.

However, there was also a third option which was much riskier than the other two. With the thought of inflicting some damage to the Corvin, Emery decisively decided to take it.

"Stay close to me," Emery said to Yoro, before he activated his Fey Transformation and dashed towards the ongoing fight.

The miners tensed up when they saw Emery approaching, a Magus-level figure. But to everyone's surprise, he actually went and attacked the guards. Caught off guard, the guards could do nothing to react.

In a matter of seconds, Emery helped the miners take all of the guards down by injuring them enough to be quickly overrun by the former. Before long, the commotion within the cave died down as all the guards were dealt with.

A few miners who seemed to be the leaders of the rebellion turned their gazes towards Emery, worry apparent on their faces. They were anxious because they weren't sure what kind of attitude they should show toward Emery.

Realizing this, Emery quickly said, "I am here for a different reason, and I will not stand in your way. Just get out of here quickly before more guards get in your way."

What happened next was Emery, followed by Yoro, walking behind the waves of the uprising as they moved through the mine from chamber to chamber. In just the span of a few minutes, several hundred miners joined the initial rebel group of dozens of people.

As the miners spread their uprising throughout the mine, Emery watched closely for any White Fang members among those who joined. Occasionally, he would go and grab one of the miners from the newest addition and question them.

"I am looking for one name, Andrei, huge guy, white fang clan!"

Unfortunately, his efforts did not bear much fruit.

When the uprising finally reached the main chamber, Emery could see about a hundred guards standing in a row, blocking their way toward freedom. All of them were equipped from top to bottom as their weapons were brandished at the miners; among them there were also six magus guards.

Striking in his sophisticated, though slightly tattered attire, the middle-aged man stood in the center of the formation with such confidence as he shouted, "You all ungrateful Bastards! Don't worry, I won't kill all of you. But after this over, I'll make sure you wished I did!"

At the moment, there were three thousand or so miners in the main chamber and even if only half of them were rebelling, they should still have enough force to forcibly break through the ranks of one hundred guards.

However, just as the fight was about to start, Emery saw the thin-looking man drinking a pitch-black potion. To his surprise, a different aura could be felt from the man's body a moment later – an indescribable one.

"You all deserve to be punished!"

The man shouted those words repeatedly and Emery noticed it seemed to have an effect on the rebels as they started to fall to their knees and were unable to do much when they were beaten by the guards.

The middle-aged man was seen chuckling as he finished the potion and started shouting out different words. This time, towards the other miners who had been keeping their distance from the rebels.

"All of you have been given the privilege to help punish their wrongdoings. Go beat them all up!"

As soon as those words resounded in the air, the other half of the miners decided to join in, but instead of helping, they attacked the miners who had rebelled instead.

Watching all this hidden behind the crowd of rebels, Emery could feel the urge arise within him. At glance, it might have looked like mind control, but Emery knew better what it actually was.

The potion must be some kind of an enhancer to give an ability of an Alpha, allowing the man to compel all these blood pact half-bloods to follow his command. Unfortunately for him, it has zero effect on Emery.

Seeing the pain and suffering of these miners, Emery was reminded of how his Patriarch's despicable actions led to the death of his master. Eventually, the urge within him resurfaced once again.

As his body began to transform, Emery told Yoro to sneak out the cave when he had the chance. As for him, his gaze fell on the thin-looking man.

The next second, his figure disappeared leaving behind only an afterimage, his target was none other than the man in charge himself.
