Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe
chapter-509

Hearing his words, everyone standing atop the wall could feel the intense emotions coursing through their veins-even the two mortal mercenaries.

Beneath them, close to a hundred wolves had now been trapped and covered in grease. On one side was the Great Wall, and on the other side was the Weeping Woods.

Their only escape route was in the direction of the dark woods. However, they would never be able to make it out alive.

The people standing atop the walls threw a Potion of Explosion each. With bated breaths, they watched the round, crystal vials slowly descend toward the wolves.

Soon, the first vial shattered on the ground and resulted in a fiery explosion. The other vials followed suit and went off one after the other.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A tremendous chain reaction was formed as the explosion from one potion compounded as it came in contact with another potion.

Nine Potions of Explosion went off at the same time, resulting in the formation of an enormous mushroom cloud of flames.

The ground trembled violently as all the beasts that had gathered at the clearing turned thier heads in the direction of the explosion.

It was a scene of utter pandemonium as the beasts went into a frenzy. Even the four werewolves stepped out of the dilapidated manor, gazing at the explosion with fearful eyes.

They were shocked to see a wall surrounding the explosion that bore the brunt of the flames. Despite having such an intense blast, the wall remained standing.

Fear was soon replaced by bloodlust as they simultaneously howled toward the sky, commanding all the wolves to dash toward the Great Wall.

The wolves, although unwilling, had no other choice but to oblige. Their eyes gleamed with insanity as they advanced toward the wall.

But right at the moment, another explosion went off. However, this one originated from the other side of the clearing.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Another series of explosions occurred on the perimeter of the clearing, drowning dozens of wolves.

The other Magi and mercenaries of Stratford had finally made their move!

Several groups, each containing nine to ten people, emerged from the Weeping Woods, hurling Potions of Explosion at the wolves.

A visible ring of flames gradually surrounded the wolves. The flames spread out and fenced in the large clearing, making it nigh impossible for the beasts to escape.

A burly figure riding an enormous white tiger slowly emerged from the woods. The beast's jaws were dripping with blood and flesh, suggesting that it had just mauled through a horde of wolves.

Gore gazed in the direction of the enormous mushroom cloud of fire in the distance. Specifically, he was looking at the Great Wall that was containing the flames.

His eyes narrowed to a slit and he thought to himself, I can sense the energy waves of a Rank 2 spell emanating from that wall!

Could it be the result of an artifact?

Or is there another Mana Liquefaction Magus here...

Gore's plans to claim all the treasures inside the Howlett Manor would become useless if there was another Rank 2 Magus here.

But on second thought, he believed that this was very unlikely to be true. He wasn't able to sense any Mana Liquefaction Magus in the town during his stay there.

His expression turned grim as he contemplated, It is unlikely that there is another Magus with the same strength as me here. But on the off-chance that this is true...

I must be prepared!

Having already come to a decision, his countenance turned ruthless. He raised his arm and bellowed, "Warriors! Slaughter them all!"

"OHHH!!" The people around him roared with a bloodthirsty aura and brandished their weapons. Then, they began massacring the wolves in front of them.

Meanwhile, Gore wielded his spear and swung at the wolves, killing effortlessly as he made his way toward the manor at the center of the clearing.

The white tiger he was riding was even more ferocious. It swiped its claws at any wolf that came in its way.

Gradually, the man and beast approached the ruined manor, leaving a trail of corpses in their wake.

While the Magi and mercenaries at the perimeter of the clearing also started killing the beasts and slowly closing in.

The sound of steel clashing against the flesh, spells flying through the air, and explosions ringing out every few moments mixed together and formed a symphony of terror and chaos.

...

The Great Wall gradually started to disintegrate into specks of dust as Adam canceled the spell. All the ferocious wolves that were trapped within the wall had been reduced to nothing but mere ashes.

Everyone then standing atop the wall jumped and landed on the ground. But the sight that greeted them was terror-inducing. A massive horde of wolves was approaching them with unmatched killing intent.

Even veteran warriors such as Kenley and Ragnar couldn't help but become anxious seeing such a large number of beasts coming toward them. Their grips around their weapons tightened as fear crept into their beings.

But none of them chose to flee! For they knew just what was at stake here!

Adam ignored the wave of beasts in front of him and turned around. He glanced at the two Acolytes of the Brotherhood and then at his students.

"Scared?" He asked with an amusing smirk.

None of them replied, their eyes glued to the incoming beasts whom they had to fight.

Getting no response from them, Adam rolled his eyes. "You guys are no fun."

"P-Professor!" Art blurted out in panic. "T-This is no time to crack jokes!"

"Y-Yeah, please be serious!" Aiden chimed in.

Eleiney looked at him and asked, "Professor... are you really not going to be fighting with us?"

"Nope." Adam casually shook his head.

Then, he glanced at his students and smiled, "Plants confined to a pot may thrive, but they will never know the strength and resilience of those born in the wilds."

Eleiney lowered her head and spoke in a trembling voice, "But I'm scared..."

Art and Aiden didn't say it, but they too shared the same sentiment. After all, they had never faced such a circumstance before.

Adam gently patted Eleiney's head and said, "Good! It means you have fulfilled the

conditions to be brave."

He then turned around and started walking toward the incoming wave of beasts. "Survive this battle, and you will come out stronger than before."

The raven-haired youth weaved a series of hand signs, opening a small portal to the Spirit

World above him.

Out of this portal, dozens of shadows shot up and vanished into the clouds!

Adam's body slowly started to dissipate into shadows. Before he completely disappeared, he turned around and looked at his students with a smirk.

"Don't die, my foolish students."

After he had disappeared, his squad members remained rooted on the spot for a few moments. Suddenly, Kenley called out to them, "Did you... see those things come out from

the portal?"

"Y-Yeah." Ragnar nodded. "They looked like... birds?"

The squad members simultaneously raised their heads and looked at the sky. The scene that

greeted them next, took their breaths away.

THUNDER!
