Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 76 Bloodshed



Chapter 76 Bloodshed

Magus Karl and the two guards had already accepted their deaths. A vampire spawn was an undead creature with strength comparable to a peak mortal. Moreover, their undead bodies and regenerative abilities made them difficult opponents to deal with.

The two guards stood no chance against a vampire spawn and neither did Magus Karl, who at this point was incapacitated. His old and feeble body could not even handle a single punch from the vampire spawn.

Furthermore, they knew that no matter how fast reinforcements arrived, they wouldn't be faster than their enemy who was right in front of them.

Just when all hope seemed lost, Magus Karl and the two guards saw a figure abruptly appear in front of them like a ghost.

Magus Karl was taken aback as he couldn't even sense just when this person had appeared. But what happened next shocked him even more.

The black-robed figure raised his foot and stomped on the ground. Before his foot landed, however, a magic circle had already formed right underneath his foot!

Following that, the ground within a 10-foot radius of the figure intensely trembled as if it were an earthquake.

At the same time that the figure had stomped on the ground, another magic circle had already materialized at the tip of his finger which was now aimed at the vampire spawn.

Magus Karl's eyes widened. "Dual-casting!"

A Magic Missile shot out from the fingertip of the figure and flew toward the vampire spawn. And before the latter knew it, the spell had already burst his head open like a watermelon.

Within a matter of seconds, the vampire spawn had died without even being able to fight back.

Adam looked at the headless body of the vampire spawn that was still twitching from time to time. His hand that had just shot out the Magic Missile was trembling ever so slightly.

He grabbed his hand and tried to stop the trembling. Tumultuous waves were rising in the youth's heart. This was the first time he had killed someone after all.

Although one could argue that the vampire spawn was an undead creature and had hence already died to begin with, Adam still couldn't deny the fact that he had just taken a life.

However, now was not the time to think about such things. He still had to rescue the people who had been abducted by the other vampire spawn.

He turned around and looked at Magus Karl who was looking at him with his mouth agape. When Adam saw the old man's injured shoulder, a trace of contempt flashed past his abyss-like eyes.

How can a mighty Magus such as you can't even deal with a weak undead creature? Pathetic!

But as soon as this thought crossed the youth's mind, he was taken aback.

Since when did I become so snobbish? he thought.

"Hah…" Adam rubbed his forehead and mumbled, "That idiot Lisa's character is rubbing off on me."

He took out a Potion of Healing from his satchel and threw it at Magus Karl. Then, without saying another word, he dashed in the direction of the alley where the female vampire spawn had gone.

Magus Karl subconsciously caught the vial flying at him. He looked in the direction Adam had departed to and muttered in a daze, "What a monster!"

The black-haired vampire spawn ran at quick speeds as she carried the two unconscious humans in her arms. When she heard the sound of fighting behind her, she didn't panic but instead increased her speed.

What surprised her was that the fight seemed to have ended a lot quicker than she'd expected.

Their reinforcements arrived much earlier than I thought. I need to hurry! She thought to herself and quickened her pace even more.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew seemingly out of nowhere and brushed against her back. The female vampire spawn's eyes widened in shock and she instinctively turned her head to look behind.

But before she could, she suddenly felt something pressing down on her shoulder.

The next moment, everything in her vision began to spin, and then all of a sudden everything abruptly stopped.

"Huh?" She found herself staring at the cobblestone street as if she was lying down on the ground. "W-When did I?"

But the words got stuck in her throat when her gaze fell on a familiar figure holding two humans in her arms. Except the figure was headless and an unknown person was squatting on the figure's shoulders.

The person then jumped down from the figure's shoulders and slowly walked in her direction.

"I… see…" Realization suddenly dawned on the vampire spawn but it was too late.

The person was wearing black robes and a pointy hat of the same color. Before the vampire spawn could mutter another word, the man in the pointy hat raised his foot and viciously stomped on her head!

SPLAT!

Adam raised his foot and looked at the mangled mixture of brains, blood, and bones with a complicated expression. Then, he looked at his bloodied hands, deep in thought. In the end, he clenched his fists and steeled himself.

"The path of a Magus is filled with bloodshed. I must not waver."

He turned around and picked up the two humans, a middle-

aged man and a young girl, who were still unconscious, and walked back toward the plaza where Magus Karl and the others were.

Magus Karl who had just drank the Potion of Healing was marveling at how potent the potion was. In front of his eyes, the poison that had begun to spread to all parts of his body was now being countered by the potion.

Just as his body was being healed, he heard footsteps coming in the direction of the alley Adam had just gone in.

The old man panicked as he still wasn't in a state of being able to fight. Thus, he hurriedly instructed the guards, "Someone's coming! Hurry—"

But the words got stuck in his throat when his gaze landed on the familiar figure walking out of the alley.

"M-Magus Adam?!" He was dumbfounded. Moreover, he saw the youth carrying the two humans that the vampire spawn had just abducted.

How long had it been? Not even a minute had passed and this boy had already dealt with the vampire spawn? The old Magus thought in disbelief.

Magus Karl was at a loss for words. He saw Adam gently lay the two people on the ground and instruct the guards, "Look after them. They look like they've been given some sedatives. Other than being unconscious, they seem to be fine."

But suddenly…

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Adam turned his head toward the night sky and his eyes narrowed.

Three more emergency signals had just been shot!
