Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 9 Magus’ Might

Chapter 9 Magus' Might

HOWL!

The wolf leader howled and commanded the pack to attack the three Magi who had dared to cross the blockade and obstruct them. However, the wolves were afraid of getting close to the Magi. In the end, they could only reluctantly attack.

"Hmph!" The female Magi scoffed. She had silver hair and cyan-colored eyes. She crouched down and placed both palms on the ground. A bright magic circle lit up underneath her palms!

Rank 1 Spell: Spill Water!

A few seconds later, water was generated from the ground beneath her and it quickly spread toward the wolf pack. This level of water didn't do any damage to the pack, neither did it impede them in any way.

If anything, the water only made the ground a little wet.

Next, the burly Magus with a buzz cut stepped forward and stomped on the ground. A magic circle had already materialized underneath his foot and the moment it touched the ground, the earth rippled and the waves spread toward the wolf pack.

Rank 1 Spell: Shape Earth!

At once, the ground had turned into an extremely muddy terrain. The majority of the wolves fell down as they lost balance. However, this was still not enough to defeat the pack.

Finally, the blond Magus with bright blue eyes weaved mysterious hand signs and then raised his right arm. The next moment, blue lightning crackled on his palm.

Rank 1 Spell: Shocking Grip!

He viciously punched the muddy ground with his lightning-infused fist. Following that, the land in front of them turned into a sea of lightning! The three spells combined in harmony resulting in a devastating attack.

Instantly, a large number of wolves were electrocuted. Their fur was charred and they struggled helplessly until they died. With a single move made by the three Magi, close to a hundred wolves died.

"Whoa!"

"Amazing!"

"This is the might of a Magus?!"

The children who had gone through a hellish battle saw this scene and their eyes lit up in amazement. For most of them, this was the first time they had seen a Magus in action.

Even the experienced mercenaries were visibly moved. The teamwork displayed by the three Magi and their spell combo was truly a sight to behold. It left them awe-struck.

Adam wasn't all that impressed. After all, he had seen a much more grand and spectacular battle when he had acquired the white lotus. However, he still couldn't keep his eyes off of the sea of lightning.

The yearning in his heart intensified as he subconsciously clenched his fist. One day I'll become a Magus and wield such power as well!

Suddenly, he felt his soul tremble and his eyes glazed over.

On the other side, the alpha wolf was furious that so many of his brethren had been killed right in front of its eyes. It howled to the skies, and one could feel its pain and anger. The next moment, it opened its mouth and conjured an energy ball of absolute darkness!

The ball of darkness got bigger and bigger until finally, it shot towards the three Magi at an extremely fast speed.

The burly Magus stepped forward, weaved hand signs, and loudly clasped his palms together. Following that, the ground around him trembled and then two thick and sturdy walls were erected in front of him.

Rank 1 Spell: Mold Earth!

The ball of pure darkness collided against the earthen walls. A deafening sound was heard as dust and debris scattered in all directions. In the end, the ball of darkness had completely dissipated. At the same time, the two walls had also been destroyed.

From within the dust and debris, the female Magus along with the blue-eyed Magus rushed out and sprinted toward the alpha wolf. Overcome by rage, the alpha wolf also rushed toward them as it prepared to launch another ball of darkness.

However, before long, the two Magi had already come close to the wolf. They both cast spells simultaneously and combined them.

Rank 1 Spell: Thorn Vine!

Rank 1 Spell: Acidic Splash!

A green vine as thick as one's arms materialized in the female Magus's hand and she whipped it toward the alpha wolf.

Before the whip had coiled around the wolf, the whole whip had already been coated with a layer of purple acid. This was the spell cast by the blue-eyed Magus. The ease at which both spells had combined showed how efficient their teamwork was.

The purple vine ferociously wrapped around the wolf, instantly restricting its movements and at the same time melting its fur and poisoning its skin with acid. Even the ball of darkness that was about to form inside the wolf's mouth had vanished.

Completely restricted, the wolf showed a hint of panic as it glared at the two Magi.

Suddenly…

The ground behind the wolf cracked open and a figure jumped out from underneath. It was the burly Magus!

Right now he was wielding a heavy war hammer that seemed to be made out of some kind of black material. He lifted both his hands and imbued mana into his weapon. Then, he swung the war hammer down on the wolf's head with a wide grin on his face.

"Hah, gotcha!"

BOOM!

The wolf was instantly pulverized by the hammer. All that was left was a mangled mixture of flesh, bones, and innards. Seeing their alpha die such a gruesome death, the remaining wolves all ran away with their tails tucked between their legs.

"It's a pity. We could have sold the corpse for some money." The female Magus pouted.

The burly Magus, Ivan, looked at the alpha's corpse, or the lack of one, and smiled embarrassedly. "My bad, Kelley."

The female Magus, Kelley, shot one last glance at the mangled corpse of the wolf and then turned around and left.

"Nicely done, Ivan. Don't mind her." The blue-eyed Magus gave Ivan a thumbs up.

Ivan looked at his teammate and laughed. "Haha, you too, Alex. Come, let's get back to the carriage. I need your help understanding a spell model from the School of Invocation."

"Alright, let's go." Alex nodded and then went back to the carriage with Ivan.

The surviving children and the mercenaries cheered for the victorious Magi as they came back to the campsite. The fight earlier was simply breathtaking. Even the mercenaries, who were always fighting with their lives on the line, were in awe of the teamwork displayed by the three.

Alex and Ivan were indifferent to the applause and the looks of admiration directed at them. They were already used to it. Suddenly, Alex caught sight of Adam who was standing in one location in a daze. The boy was sticking out like a sore thumb.

"What's with this kid?" Alex mumbled.

Currently, Adam was oblivious to what was happening around him as his mind had already shifted to the mysterious space within the white lotus!
