Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe
chapter-475

As the first wave of wolves reached the wall, the Magi stationed atop it had already begun casting spells and massacring the beasts.

The clash was immediate and brutal.

Wolves ran over the corpses of the other beasts, clawing and biting at the towering stone wall. Their powerful bodies slammed against it in a relentless attempt to breach the defenses.

The wolves that had attacked now were just regular beasts with no mana coursing through their veins. These were the expendable forces. The real threat was posed by the handful of magical beasts that still hadn't made an appearance.

Only a few minutes into the battle and already hundreds of corpses lay at the bottom of the wall. Many mercenaries fighting on the ground were severely wounded, but thanks to the consumption of healing potions, they were able to continue the fight.

The corpses piled up over one another, making it the perfect platform for the second wave of beasts to use.

And then came the second wave. Hundreds of more wolves emerged from the Weeping Woods and dashed toward the town wall. Amongst these beasts, there were a few that were bigger and stronger than the others.

These were magical beasts, their strength equivalent to a Rank 1 Magus!

Arrows and spells flew from the ramparts, finding their marks in the writhing mass below. But the wolves seemed undeterred by their fallen brethren.

They used these corpses as a stepping stone and leaped in the air. At once, dozens of wolves landed on the top of the city walls, wreaking havoc amidst the Magi gathered.

A magical beast vaulted toward the city wall and just so happened to land near Adam's students.

Seeing such a sudden turn of events, the kids weren't flustered in the least. They were in the most optimal state of mind, after all.

After having trained with Adam for months now, they had learned to keep their emotions in check during intense moments.

However, this was the first time they were facing such a life-threatening crisis, and couldn't help but freeze momentarily. But that was all.

They began weaving hand signs and constructing magic circles, effortlessly casting spells on the domineering black wolf.

While Art and Eleniey used restraining spells, Aiden cast Lightning Streak and took down the wolf.

Their movements were fluid and their spells were efficient. Within half a minute, they had already killed the wolf before it had time to cause chaos on the rampart.

Kenley and Wagner were quite taken aback at this scene. They had initially thought that they would have to help the kids out since this was their first battle ever, but they realized that they didn't require any assistance at all.

The way they had taken down the wolf was quick and methodical. Kenley gave them a nod of approval before continuing to cast long-range spells at the beasts below.

Meanwhile, Wagner couldn't help but ask curiously, "You guys have fought before? I thought you all were rookies." He paused for a moment before adding, "Uh, no offense."

"Hehehe," Art chuckled smugly while cracking his knuckles. "We spar with our mentor all the time. This much is nothing for us!"

"Hmm!" Aiden nodded, his eyes flashing with excitement. "Our mentor is even more monstrous than all these beasts combined."

Art suddenly had an idea and he glanced at Aiden, whispering in slight excitement, "Hey, how about we go down there and fight like real men?"

Aiden's eyes lit up. He thought this wasn't a bad idea at all. With adrenaline pumping through their veins, the boys felt like they could take on a hundred wolves and conquer the Weeping Woods.

However, right at that moment, Eleniey doused them with a bucket of cold water. "Fight like real men and then die like real sissies, is that your plan?"

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes at her hot-blooded teammates, "Don't forget, this is just the beginning. We have to fight all night. Conserve your strength."

"Uh…" Art found himself unable to retort to his friend. "I guess you're right…"

Aiden also agreed with an awkward expression. The trio then got together and started casting spells at the beasts outside.

They're still kids, after all, Kenley thought to himself in amusement after hearing their interaction.

He then glanced at Eleniey with approval. It's a good thing the boys have someone like her to tie them down. Their team dynamic is quite amazing. As expected of his students.

Kenley then turned around and looked in the direction of the town, his brows creasing into a knot.

I wonder where Agent Adam is… What is he planning? Why hasn't he revealed himself as a Mana Liquefaction Magus yet? What's his motive?

He couldn't understand Adam's intentions at all. However, he fully trusted his decision-making.

In the end, he got rid of these distracting thoughts out of his mind and focused on the battle in front of him.

…

In the center of the town, stood the tallest building - the Stratford Public Library.

Standing on top of the library's spire, Adam calmly gazed at the chaos ensuing beyond the walls. However, he had no intention of helping them.

Not yet, anyway.

He was secretly observing everything that was going on around him. Ever since he had arrived at this remote town, something had constantly been bothering him, yet he couldn't quite put a finger on it.

Moreover, the peculiar feeling that he got when he ventured into the Weeping Woods, not to mention the feeling of immense danger he felt when he entered the abandoned Howlett Estate, made everything in this place seem extremely mysterious to him.

Last but not least, even Blackie, whom Adam assumed to be a being at the level of a Rank 3 Magus, mentioned that something was bizarre about this town.

All these things made Adam think several times before making a move. This was the reason why he had decided to remain hidden for the time being.

His eyes narrowed and his gaze seemingly traversed past the town walls and peered into the Weeping Woods. He could see a humanoid figure, concealed in darkness and manipulating the wolves into doing his bidding.

The youth's lips parted and he muttered coldly, "I'll start with you."
