Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe
chapter-250

The moment Adam jumped off the earthen platform, it could not take the pressure and instantly broke into countless pieces.

Meanwhile, the youth soared through the sky like a black streak of light and instantly appeared in front of the dark vulture. Pure mana surrounded his fist and ignited it with brilliant-colored flames.

The Five Elemental Codex allowed the user to extract the mana from the five fundamental elements that made up the world, making their mana take the characteristic of the fusion of the five elements.

However, there was something more that Adam learned as he continued to practice this mana extraction technique - he was able to use the mana from each of the five elements separately.

At his current stage, the youth was only able to coat his fist with the mana from the five elements. As he progressed in this mana extraction technique and advanced in ranks, his resonance toward the five elements would significantly increase.

Meaning, that he would gain extreme efficiency when using magic spells or magic combat techniques that directly utilized the five elements.

Coating his fist with only a layer of fire mana was the most basic step.

As Adam gradually closed in on the dark vulture, he increased his mana expenditure and his fist lit up in even more intense flames. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached in front of the vulture, much to the shock of the latter.

His eyes narrowed and a grin slowly formed on his face. The muscles on Adam's body tensed as he launched a simple punch to the vulture's torso.

There was nothing fancy about this technique, but the devastation that it caused sent shockwaves throughout the sky.

BOOM!

The surrounding clouds parted as a visible wave of fire spread in all directions. The dark vulture didn't even have any time to react, much less counter-attack. Nothing was left of this beast, to say the least.

Chunks of burning flesh that fell from the sky served as the only evidence that this magical beast had even been here.

When the people on the flying serpent in the distance witnessed this scene, they were flabbergasted.

"No way!"

"A-Amazing!"

"Senior Adam is that strong?!"

"He killed the beast with a single punch!"

The young students couldn't help but be mesmerized when they witnessed the scene of Adam taking down the vulture. It was like a spectacular display of fireworks. The ring of fire produced from the impact of his punch was still visible for all to see.

Professor Kimberly was also the same. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. However, it wasn't Adam's punch that shocked her, but the way he utilized mana.

Such fine precision of mana... is he really only a Rank 1?! She thought to herself incredulously. Even my control over mana couldn't be that accurate!

"Oh no! Senior Adam is falling!"

Suddenly, one of the first-year students screamed in panic as she pointed into the distance.

Adam, after having taken care of the vulture, did not have his momentum from earlier stopped even one bit. He was like a blazing arrow that tore through the clouds and continued to fall.

Seeing this everyone was panicking. Everyone except Edward and Lisa. They had full confidence in Adam's abilities.

According to them, if he had decided to fight in mid-air without the support of a flying mount, then he surely must have thought it through. That's how much faith they had in him.

Not good! Professor Kimberly hurriedly commanded the flying serpent to increase speed and fly toward the youth.

Meanwhile, Adam was free-falling from the sky, however, there was not even a trace of nervousness on his face. Instead, he was greatly savoring the joy of battle.

He had just confirmed that the soul of the dark vulture had been absorbed by the lotus and he couldn't help but lick his lips in delight.

Food should never be wasted, he chuckled inwardly.

The next moment, he willed it in his mind and the second earthen platform that he had created atop the flying serpent shot through the clouds, thanks to the assistance from Magus Hand, and arrived before him.

Adam somersaulted in the air and gracefully landed on the platform!

"Whoa! Did you see that?!"

"So that's what the second one was for."

"So cool!"

The students standing atop the flying serpent were full of praise, their eyes shining brighter than the stars. Professor Kimberly's expression, however, was still grim as she controlled the beast to fly even faster.

Of course, she had already known what the second platform was for. But the reason she was so nervous was because the flaming crow had now directed its full attention on Adam and was crazily closing in on him.

This flying beast was surrounded by flames. Adam would not be able to take the brunt of it if he fought the beast directly.

She had already begun casting hand signs to assist the youth, but suddenly her hands paused as she looked on at the spectacle unfold in shock.

By the time Adam had landed on the other platform, the flaming crow had already arrived before him, its eyes spewing unbridled fury. It opened its mouth and launched a large fire sphere at the youth.

However, Adam was able to nimbly dodge the attack as he leaped away from the stone platform. The fire sphere didn't even manage to touch the hems of his clothes, but it completely obliterated the platform.

Now, the youth had no footing!

As Adam fell from the air, he glanced at the flaming crow that was recklessly chasing after him. Seeing this, his lips curled up into a sneer. He weaved a series of hand gestures at such speed that his palms appeared to be a blur.

Then, he pointed at the incoming flying beast and finally cast his spell.

Rank 1 Spell: Magic Missile!

Dozens of magic circles lit up around Adam and from them, a barrage of orbs made of pure mana bombarded the flaming crow.

Adam's lips parted and he coldly muttered, "Die."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

After the flaming crow was battered with dozens of Magic Missiles, nothing was left of this body. When the students saw this, they were stunned. But no one was more surprised than Professor Kimberly.

She couldn't help but think in sheer disbelief, That certainly exceeded the limits of dual-casting! How is this even possible? And what's with his abnormal mana reserves?!

But the next moment, when she saw the youth falling to the ground, she recalled his parting words.

Make sure to catch me!

Realizing this, she urged the flying serpent to increase speed yet again. She couldn't help but curse this troublesome child.

Meanwhile, as Adam fell from the sky, he couldn't help but lower his head and glance at the fast-approaching land. He was no longer scared of falling. He had a plentiful experience, after all.

Instead of freaking out, he calmly activated the magic artifact that he always wore on his finger. He rarely used it in the past, but today it really came in handy.

It was the same one that he had looted back when he fought the vampire in Hannes City.

Ring of Light Fall!
