Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 206 Forbidden

Chapter 206 Forbidden

As time passed by, Kurdan's expression continued to darken. What he was witnessing was simply unbelievable. Despite being augmented by the spell, Alleviation, and ganging up on Adam, the latter still had the upper hand!

This guy is a monster! Tumultous waves were rising in his heart. Is this really the strength of a Rank 1 Magus? Impossible!

Adam's physical strength was on par with his. Kurdan thought that it was even greater than his. And not just that, the youth's speed was also extremely swift and ghost-like. His movements were too unpredictable to discern.

While Adam was blocking Kurdan's attacks using his own hands and feet, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure approaching him from the side.

He first hurled a powerful front kick to Kurdan, sweeping him off of his feet and throwing him in the distance. Following that, he weaved hand signs at such great speeds that it took him barely a moment to finish it. Finally, he completed the model component and cast his spell.

Rank 1 Spell: Amplify Gravity!

With the gravity in a ten-meter radius sphere around him now multiplied by two, the shadowy figure that was approaching him from the side suddenly lost balance and tripped.

Who else could it be but Gordo?

"Heh, you stupid pigface," Adam snickered and delivered a flying knee to the lanky orc's face.

"Kuaggghhh!" Gorgo felt as if his head would be yanked out of his neck from the impact of Adam's attack.

He flew backward as blood spurted out from his broken nose. However, before he even landed on the ground, Adam had already appeared beside him like a specter.

How is his speed still this fast under such gravity?! Gorgo couldn't help but scream inwardly in absolute shock. It was as if gravity didn't affect the youth at all.

With a wide grin on his face, Adam raised his hand and viciously hammered his elbow down on Gorgo's stomach.

"Ugghh!" Gorgo slammed against the ground and his eyes rolled back from the sheer pain. He felt like his intestines were turned to mush and his spine separated in two.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the spell you guys used is not bad." Adam was quite impressed. With the amount of beating he had delivered to these two orcs, they should have already died.

However, they were still up and running. Suffice it to say, he quite enjoyed this feeling. If they died too quickly, it would have been boring.

Adam turned to look at Edward and Daneli's battlefield and his expression turned grim. He was enjoying his fight so much that he ended up losing track of time.

By now the two Unseen Servants that he had summoned had already been heavily damaged and already returned to the Spirit World.

Moreover, Edward and Daneli were in an extremely precarious situation. If he didn't intervene, things would take a turn for the worse for sure.

"Alright, time to wrap things up. I got too carried away with you pigs." Adam raised his fist as he gathered a ridiculous amount of mana.

His expression turned extremely solemn and his cold eyes spewed unbridled killing intent. Just when he was about to attack, he sensed Kurdan approaching him at a monstrous speed through his Sphere of Resonance.

He's different! Adam thought in alarm as intense warning bells rang inside his mind. He hurriedly turned around and crossed his arms, blocking the incoming attack.

BAM!

Adam was shocked! This was completely out of his expectations. He grunted in pain as he was hurled into the distance. He flew for dozens of meters before landing on the ground and miserably rolling for another few meters.

"Ugh… that hurt!" Adam's forearms turned numb. He looked over to see just what hit him, but when his gaze landed on the person responsible, he was stunned. "What in the world?!"

Kurdan had transformed into something completely different. His skin had turned from a light shade of green to a dark red. His height had increased by double and so had his muscular build.

The current Kurdan looked extremely frightening!

"K-Kurdan, you…" Gorgo glanced at his leader with tearful eyes. He screamed in anger, "Why did you use that forbidden spell?! Are you out of your damn mind?!"

Kurdan turned to glance at Gorgo, his eyes filled with madness. But from time to time, clarity could be seen flashing in them.

"Grrr!" Kurdan growled like a menacing beast. The next moment, he spoke through gritted teeth. "Gorgo… you must survive!"

Tears streamed down the lanky orc's eyes as he roared, "Why?! Why did you have to do this?!"

Kurdan remained silent for a brief moment, seemingly fighting his inner demons. He then took out a large animal skull, almost as big as his head, and handed it to Gorgo.

"Take this… Survive… Bring this back… to the chief."

Gorgo glanced at the ivory skull in Kurdan's hand. The skull had deep ridges and its nasal openings were large. Moreover, the teeth on its jaws were sharp and jagged, especially the four canines that seemed to be gleaming with an ominous glint.

This was exactly the artifact that their chief had instructed them to bring back. Although acquiring it was purely a matter of luck, fortune was on their side this time.

Gorgo's eyes lit up as he saw the skull. He looked back at Kurdan and said excitedly, "Let's use this! We can definitely kill that human scum with this. And then I'll take you back to the tribe's healers—"

Kurdan interrupted him by tightly clasping his shoulders. His face distorted as he struggled to contain his bestial instincts.

"Go… before I don't recognize you… anymore."

Gorgo completely broke down seeing his leader in such a state. "Kurdan… please…"

"Leave now… my friend." Kurdan smiled faintly. "This is my… last order as your… leader."

"...Yes!" Gorgo reluctantly nodded as he wiped his tears. He carefully kept away the skull and turned around to leave. He turned back around to cast one last glance at his friend.

Kurdan was no longer the person he used to know.

The forbidden spell, Berserk, burnt the caster's vitality and spiritual power and gave them great strength. The caster would become exponentially stronger than they used to be.

However, in exchange, they would gradually lose their sanity and eventually their life!

Gorgo cried uncontrollably as he ran away from the battlefield. He momentarily glanced at Adam who was facing off against Kurdan, his eyes filled with hatred and fury.

Without wasting another moment, he sped off into the depths of the forest. He was not going to waste Kurdan's sacrifice.

ROOAARR!!

Kurdan bellowed like a crazed beast as he charged toward Adam. By now, he had lost most of his sanity. In exchange for great power, he had to sacrifice everything.

All this just to kill the man in front of him.

Adam had a grim expression as he saw Kurdan recklessly rush toward him. He got into the fighting stance of the Phantom Dance and coated his fists with mana.

"You have my respect, orc," he said sincerely, his eyes brimming with a blazing fighting intent.

The next moment, he shot toward the orc, putting everything on the line.
