Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 2566  Journey to the North

Several massive flying ships cut through the skies like ancient leviathans reborn in steel and spellcraft. Their colossal hulls shimmered with layered enchantments, glowing faintly with runes of protection, speed, and silence. These were no merchant crafts or ceremonial processions—these were ships of war, forged in the crucible of conflict, reinforced with layered defensive arrays capable of withstanding cosmic spells and assaults.

Each vessel was brimming with power—within their holds stood thousands of elite troops, lined in disciplined formations. Rows of gleaming armor caught the midday sun, casting reflections that danced across the decks like shards of starlight.

Among them were Magus realm warriors, seasoned and battle-hardened. Interspersed throughout were hundreds of cosmic-ranked experts—each one a veteran in their own right, handpicked from across the Alliance for a singular purpose: to bolster the warfront in the north and prepare for the incursion into the unknown realm that lay beyond.

Emery stood silently on the observation platform at the front of one such vessel, a uniquely crafted command cruiser. Cold mountain air rushed past him as the scenery below gradually shifted—from the soft green of Pardera's heartlands to a harsher world of towering cliffs and snow-blanketed forests. He wasn't alone on this particular ship. With him were four other high-ranking alchemists, selected specifically for this expedition

Two figures stood out for their reputation alone—Ada Velace, the Rose of Aether, and Galael, the Ember Sage. Both were Grade 8 alchemists, long-standing figures in the alchemical world.

The third was Horus of House Kreed, dressed in tailored armor and a permanent scowl.
