Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 535: Epiphany



Wolfsbane shared a deep connection with werewolves since time immemorial.

Its origins could be traced back to ancient times when the magical civilization was still in its nascent stages.

In the olden days, wolfsbane was used as a potent herb capable of warding off wild animals, particularly wolves.

The plant's toxic properties were well-known at the time, and it was even used to poison the tips of arrows and bait traps.

Over time, Magi experimented with this herb and developed a highly lethal form of poison that could be used as a defense against werewolves.

Wolfsbane infused with mana was said to bloom under the light of the full moon. It was also rumored that this poison was most deathly on a full moon night.

Of course, it was still a rumor and nothing was ever confirmed. But it put Adam at ease that Tron just so happened to have two moons.

Furthermore, it was also the night of the full moons. More precisely, it was the night of the blood moons!

Seeing the look of sheer horror displayed in Stratford's eyes, the grin on Adam's face widened. "Indeed, this is wolfsbane."

"How did you get your hands on this?!" Stratford roared. "I was sure I had removed all traces of this accursed poison from this continent!"

Adam scoffed mockingly, "Look at you, a mighty Mana Vortex Magus acting like a weak, little rat just because you got poisoned. Do you think Ulier is the only continent that exists?"

The frown on Stratford's face deepened. The next moment, he willed the wound on his chest to heal. But much to his surprise, he found that the wolfsbane inside his system refused to be flushed out.

This wolfsbane is far more potent than the ones I've come across, he thought in alarm.

I can also feel otherworldly energy coming from it. This energy...

It's from the Spirit World!!

Stratford glanced at the gauntlets that Adam was wearing and thought, Those weapons are made out of extraordinary materials. The energy radiating from them... also belongs to the Spirit World!

"Where did you get those gauntlets?" He asked in a grim tone.

Adam replied with a taunting grin, "This? Your mother gave them to me. She told me to give you a good beating with it if you misbehaved."

Stratford's face darkened and a dangerous aura surrounded him. He weaved a simple hand gesture as he coldly muttered, "You have no respect for your seniors. I will tear you apart and drink your blood, damned brat!"

The next moment, he slammed his foot on the ground, resulting in over a dozen enormous blocks of ice emerging from the ground. Then, he waved his hand and hurled all the blocks toward Adam.

"Die!!"

Adam's pupils constricted and he willed the Sphere of Resonance to work at maximum capacity yet again. He meticulously calculated the coordinates of the Spirit World and the areas they corresponded with in the material world.

His pupils darted around, carefully calculating the trajectory of each block of ice. If either one of them hit him, he would be deader than dead.

Finally, after having made all his preparations, gray smoke covered his body and he disappeared.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rank 2 Spell: Foggy Step!

He kept disappearing and then reappearing, blinking all over the place as he continued to dodge one projectile after another.

His surroundings appeared saturated in his vision as he kept teleporting in and out of the Spirit World.

He appeared in the midst of many wondrous and bizarre things in that mystical world, but before he could interact with them, he had already teleported back to the material world.

This constant traversal between the Spirit World and the material world was the essence of teleportation.

He subconsciously activated the white lotus, causing the flower patterns to appear on his dark pupils. Every time he slipped into the Spirit World, the white lotus resonated deeply.

As he continued to blink in and out of the two different planes of existence, his understanding of teleportation deepened, and so did his comprehension of the School of Summoning. This was masterclass teleportation at work!

Yavia, who was witnessing this scene, hidden in the shadows of a destroyed building was shocked out of her mind.

She involuntarily covered her mouth, thinking to herself in disbelief, Such precision... Impossible!

This sort of teleportation ability should have been impossible for a native of the material world!! How is Adam able to do it?!

It's almost as if... he doesn't belong to the material world at all!

On the other side, Stratford felt a foreboding feeling wash over his body as he saw Adam continue to teleport all around the place, dodging his projectiles.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he muttered incredulously, "This kid... he's gone into a trance!"

It was as the man had stated. While continuing to teleport in and out of the Spirit World so many times, Adam suddenly received profound insights about the arcane art of teleportation.

An epiphany!

It was an extremely rare and important event for a Magus to enter this mysterious state of clarity where their understanding of magic deepened.

The only other time that Adam had had an epiphany was during the war against the orcs back in the Southern Federation.

Realizing the vulnerable state Adam was in right now, Stratford's lips curled up into a

malevolent grin.

"To be able to teleport consequitively in that state, you truly are a genius. But this state you're in will be your undoing."

The next moment, he made a mental calculation of where Adam would appear next. He then cancelled his spell and dashed in that direction.

BAM!

His enormous claw accurately grabbed Adam's head as the latter teleported out of the Spirit

World, covered in gray smoke.

"Got you!" Stratford grinned sinisterly.

But suddenly he was taken aback. He noticed that Adam was still in a state of trance!

"Even better," said the werewold as he tightened the grip around the youth's skull.

BOOM!

A Fireball slammed his face, but immediately after, the spell dissipated with a simple wave of

Stratfrod's hand.

"Let him go," said Gore standing in the distance.

Stratford glanced at him and coldly replied, "I'll deal with you later."

With that said, he crouched low and exerted great strength in his legs. Then, with a resounding sound that shattered the ground beneath him, he jumped into the air, instantly scaling hundreds of meters.

Just as he reached the peak of his jump, the werewolf imbued mana into his hand that was gripping Adam's skull.

Then, he used all his might and hurled the youth toward the ground, sending him to his death!
