Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Cade, who had witnessed everything happen just now, was shocked out of his mind. So many things had happened in such little time that he didn't know how to react.

First, he saw Adam getting stabbed by Roy. But that turned out to be false. Then, he saw Adam, whose appearance had completely changed, suddenly appear behind Roy and instantly kill him.

The fact that a Rank 2 Magus was so effortlessly killed caused him to be dumbfounded.

Following that, he saw Salde teleport away from this place at the first chance he got. Then, he witnessed his masters, Atkin and Nora Rollins, be targetted by some kind of mind-boggling spell and knocked out unconscious.

Not only had Adam killed a Rank 2 Magus, he had also incapacitated two other Magi of the same rank in quick successions.

He couldn't help but think to himself, Since when did Mana Liquefaction Magi become so easy to deal with?!

Such fighting prowess was completely unheard of.

But when Adam stepped forward and pointed at him, saying that it was his turn to now die, he snapped back to his senses.

His teeth clattered in horror, wondering if he would really meet his end tonight. But when he realized that there were at least twenty Magi on his side, his heart couldn't help but give birth to hope and confidence.

No, we can still beat him! He screamed in his heart.

Without waiting a moment longer, he hurriedly started prepping for his spell. At the same time, he roared, "Everyone, drown him with your attacks! Now!"

At once, a flurry of spells was launched toward Adam.

Lightning bolts, earthen spikes, acid blobs, ice shards, flaming orbs, everything that the Rank 1 Magi could muster, they shot them toward Adam with unmatched fury.

BOOM!

A loud explosion took place on the second floor of The Velvet Dreams, causing the people inside as well as outside to be utterly shocked.

Such a thing had never happened before.

The customers, courtesans, and the staff of the pleasure house were completely taken aback by this sudden development.

Security within The Velvet Dreams was so tight that no Magus would be able to cause such chaos here.

Of course, if it was a Mana Vortex Magus then it would be a different matter altogether. But a Magus of such standing would never visit this establishment in the first place.

The people couldn't help but wonder just what in the world was going on.

Meanwhile, a large crowd had already gathered outside, looking at the small area on the second floor where the explosion had just gone off.

"Am I seeing things?!"

"Someone's fighting inside The Velvet Dreams?"

"Are they tired of living?!"

The wave of panicked chatter flushed through the crowd as they looked toward the second floor with shock, nervousness, and even excitement.

People loved drama, after all.

The surge of emotions and adrenaline that they got out of witnessing conflicts was far too thrilling and engaging. Not to mention the sense of pleasure they derived from seeing others experience trouble.

All in all, it was very entertaining to watch.

Inside the private suite on the second floor, the place that Adam had been standing on was completely drowned in spells, causing the area to be covered in dust and debris.

Cade watched on with rapt focus, wondering if they had managed to kill Adam. The Rank 1 Magi around him were the same.

Their hearts pounded wildly inside their chests as they strained their eyes, waiting for the dust to clear.

But when it did, all they saw was a charred crater.

Adam was nowhere to be seen.

"W-What?!"

"Impossible!"

"Where is he?!"

The Magi looked around in sheer panic. Whereas, Cade's body started to intensely tremble. He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "A-Another illusion?"

"Indeed."

The next moment, he heard a cold voice coming from behind him. Following that, he felt a firm hand tightly grab the top of his head.

Cade didn't even need to turn around to see just who this person was.

He already knew.

His body shuddered violently and tears started streaming down his eyes. "P-Please, please, please! Why?! W-Why are you doing this?!"

"Because I can," Adam sneered.

The following moment, his grip on Cade's skull tightened and he viciously yanked his head, along with his spine, out of his body.

Cade's headless body, now unable to be supported by his vertebrae, fell to the ground in a mangled and deformed manner.

Adam then turned around and glanced at the rest of the Rank 1 Magi with an indifferent expression.

When they saw this youth still holding Cade's head in his hand, they were overcome by unprecedented terror.

The way that Cade had been murdered caused their scalps to tingle. And the young man who had carried out this inhumane act had done it so casually that they couldn't help but wonder if this person was a human or a devil.

When Adam looked into the eyes of these Magi, he saw that they no longer had any will to fight.

Part of him wanted to murder these foul Magi who had partaken in the pleasure house's operations for so many years.

But the other part couldn't allow him to engage in reckless slaughter.

In the end, he chucked Cade's head at them and coldly muttered, "Leave."

The Magi were flabergastted. They were sure that they wouldn't be able to leave this place alive. They were certain that Adam would kill them.

But now when they heard the young man, they couldn't help but involuntarily glance at one another and wonder if they had heard wrong.

"Leave!" Adam roared.

The mana pressure and the indomitable aura radiating from him cause all the Magi to cough blood.

They started to bleed from their facial orifices, gazing at the young man in front of them in abject horror.

Then, without waiting a moment longer, they got to their feet and ran as fast as they could. Their legs erupted with newfound strength as they sought to get as far away as possible from the youth.

Seeing the last of them leave the private suite, Adam couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know if letting them go was the right decision.

But he found it beneath himself to kill those who had already given up.

He then turned around and glanced at the unconscious bodies of Atkin and Nara. His eyes gleamed with a vicious light and he mumbled, "But as long as you both die, then it will all be worth it."

The following moment, the lotus pattern in his eyes lit up and he performed yet another simple hand sign.

Then, the space behind him tore open and a direct portal to the Spirit World was formed!

Out of this portal, about a dozen Hidden Servants rushed out and respectfully knelt down before the youth.

Adam gave each of them two Potions of Explosion and instructed, "Go, burn this place to the ground."

With sheer reverence, the Hidden Servants accepted the vials containing orange liquid and left the suite, each going in a different direction.

The next moment, a gray light fashed and Valerian appeared in front of Adam. He looked at the youth and solemnly asked, "What do you want me to do, brother?"

Adam pointed at the couple and stated, "Keep guard. If any one comes to retrieve them, kill them on sight."

Valerian's topaz eyes flashed with a cold light. "Understood!"

Adam then turned around and walked out of the suite. The young dragon couldn't help but ask, "Brother, where are you headed?"

The youth turned around and faintly smiled.

"To liberate."
