Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 2565  Detach

Emery found himself in his soul form, floating weightlessly, disembodied and detached from his physical self. The figure of Soltz began to change. The grand magus's form began to age rapidly as he reverted to his true form.

Soltz, helpless now, could no longer resist. His body quivered under the control of the four experts standing above him. "I'm sorry, old man… we failed…" Emery muttered to himself. His words were not directed at anyone in particular but rather at the situation that had unfolded. The Moon Guardian seemed to understand Emery's thoughts. "Don't worry," she said softly, her voice reassuring. "We won't hurt him."

She paused for a moment before the quiet melody of her tune played once again in the air, weaving a gentle rhythm, before she added, "That thing, however, has to stay."

Emery's heart sank as he saw the dark smoke pouring out from Soltz's body, swirling into a menacing form. The primordial wisp, the being he hadn't seen for a while, materialized in the air before him. The wisp seemed trapped, struggling to break free from the magic that held it in place. It blinked in and out of existence, flickering with each failed attempt to escape, but it was bound by the very formations that trapped Soltz.

The sight was unsettling. Emery's connection to the Khaos Gate was his lifeline, his sole means of returning to his main body.
