Chapter 866

The group of five walked towards one of the corners and proceeded to sit down. They were about to have a little discussion about the information they had just obtained.

Annara and Atlas who did accompany Emery to the Sister of Fate earlier did not get a consultation themselves as they had had one in the past.

On the other hand, the Egyptian girl Klea did receive some guidance. Emery couldn't help but break a smile himself when he saw how happy the girl was at the moment for buying two Rank A spells.

[Recharge tier 4]

[Lightning]

[Store spirit energy into a medium to be used later]

[Spirit Explosion tier 5]

[Water]

[Increase spell power by flowing all spirit energy within]

Klea was so excited that she even showed Emery the two spells she chose. Emery smiled fondly at how cute she was when she boasted of the two spells she had purchased with all the spirit stones and contribution points she had accumulated.

With the addition of the two spells, the already formidable girl could now really become a bonafide powerhouse among her peers. This was because the two spells worked so well in tandem, where the latter would increase her spell power while the former would allow her to have an extra Spirit Pool to be used afterwards.

"That's really a good choice, Klea! I'm sure they will work well for you," commented Emery with a smile.

"You think so, Emery?"

"Yeah!" Emery nodded. "Moreover, I don't want to see what you did in the last game repeat itself.

What Emery meant was that time when Klea was eliminated from the game for using too much power on the [Storm Haze] spell and ended up exhausting herself. When Klea heard those words, she approached him and once again held his arm close.

This sight, however, brought an untold amount of irritation to the girl sitting in front of them. It was evident from the words she spoke next.

"Oh, come on you two. Go get a room already!"

Hearing this, Klea quickly turned her head to Annara, had a thoughtful look on her face, and said, "Well we probably should."

Annara snorted in response to the reply. She glanced at Emery and said, "It's actually... not that impressive, really"

"What is that supposed to mean?" reacted Klea as she raised her eyebrows. She couldn't help but be suspicious of such ambiguous words.

On the other hand, Annara shrugged. "I mean, a beautifull girl like you can get a more impressive guy than this one." She said while smirking.

Klea was stunned for a moment because she didn't understand right away. She stiffly shifted her gaze between the two of them before eventually stopping at Annara and saying, "You are exactly right! I think I'm starting to like you more, girl!"

Emery discreetly looked at Annara's wicked smile and inwardly heaved a sigh. Emery felt as if this Bat-bloodline girl truly enjoyed sucking his peaceful life.

Thus, in order not to give her more opportunities to stroke Klea's curiosity, Emery quickly opened his mouth.

"Alright let's get into serious matters, any ideas on which spell I should buy?"

Emery asked because he generally trusted Klea's judgment in things like this. As for Annara and Atlas, the two of them would be his teammate on the mid-test, so their opinion could definitely be taken into account as to increase their chance of succeeding.

But first, Emery had decided to take all Rank C spells so he quickly went into action and bought all of them.

[Regrow Limb] [Rejuvenating Mushroom] [Slipstream] [Undermaster]

The four spells cost a total of [74,000], and Emery believes that they would increase his mobility and overall performance.

Next, for the Rank B spells, Emery went ahead and chose [Dark Void] and [Strength Sap], both of which cost a total of [65,500]. Despite the fact that the two were not combined-type spells, they were still classified as Rank B spells which showed their quality.

However, the reason Emery chose the two spells was because he believed that they would be useful for him to obtain even more understanding of the respective element they were based upon and, hopefully, enrich his other spells.

Now that Rank C and B were out of the way, it was time for the more expensive Rank A and Rank C Divine spells Emery had his eyes on.

[Mineralized Warrior - 148,000] [Ruthless Nature -135,000]

[Aegis of Void - 325,000] [Land's Wrath - 420,000]

With the current amount of wealth Emery possessed, which combined his total spirit stones and contribution points, he only had a little over 700,000. Deducting the amount needed for the Rank C and B spells he decided to buy, Emery only had at most 600,000 to spend.

This meant he couldn't buy everything even if he wanted to. Hence the question to the people in his group.

"What do you think, Atlas?" Emery asked only to make his relationship with the always calm guy less awkward, therefore one could imagine his surprise when the latter answered his question.

The half-machine acolyte turned to Emery with a serious look and said, "More firepower is always better, so [Land's Wrath]."

Emery did need a strong areof-effect offensive spell, so he pondered Atlas' words carefully. Moreover, knowing that they would probably be fighting against hordes of monsters, the suggestion made sense.

Even so, he was still torn between the [Rank C Divine - Land's Wrath] and the [Rank A - Ruthless Nature]. He didn't know which was better for his situation.

It was at this time that Annara voiced her disagreement.

"We need spells that can complement our weaknesses because we will be cooperating with each other. Atlas here already has plenty of offensive spells, and so do I. What I and the robot lack is a protective-type spell. So in my opinion, you should take the [Rank C Divine - Aegis of Void]."

Emery was about to consider the red-haired girl's opinion when Klea also gave her opinion.

"I think you should focus on your future cultivation, Emery. You have to remember that contribution points are not easy to obtain, so don't spend it all for the mid-test. Moreover, there will always be better spells later in the future."

Klea's choice was the [Rank A - Mineralized Warrior], as the spell would still increase his combat potential and also could increase Emery's lacking cultivation in the Earth and Water element.

She also added, "If you really need an areof-effect offensive spell, you should get one of the more affordable Rank B Tier 5 spells. For example, [Dark Tide], [Ash Blast], [Seed Bomb]; Their prices are all only in the range of 30,000."

Emery naturally took Klea's opinion seriously, as it was clear that the girl really thought about what was best for his future. He was about to consider the opinion of the three people and make his own decision when Annara suddenly commented.

"So you decided to go down the path of a versatile magus don't you, Emery?"

The red-haired girl's sudden question reminded him of the vision, so it made him ask, "Why? You don't think that's wise?"

Unexpectedly, Annara didn't say anything. She just showed her stats to him.

[Annara Vermont]

[Acolyte Rank 9 - High stage - 8 Pillars Formed]

[Darkness Spirit - 6 Pillars]

[Fire Spirit - 2 Pillar]

Emery's interest was piqued when he saw that the girl actually had unbalanced pillars. He was about to ask why she had gone down this less desirable path, but the girl had already beaten him in that aspect.

"This is what my master suggested. I plan to sacrifice two of my Fire Spirit during my advancement, and aim for a full-fledged darkness magus."

"Sacrificed?"
