Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Inside the underground cavernous chamber, a menacing werewolf knelt down before the towering stone doors.

The spectral figures of the werewolves carved on the doors whispered dark and ominous ravings into the ears of the creature.

Suddenly, the raving stopped and the underground chamber turned silent.

Only the sound of drops of blood dripping into the basin came from behind the creature, but The paid no heed to it.

The werewolf abruptly raised his head and glanced at the stone doors before him with an incredulous light flashing past his crimson eyes.

This was the first time that the ravings had stopped assaulting his mind! This was the first time that he could think with a clear head!

He slowly got to his feet, wondering if all this was real. He wondered what could have happened for the carvings on the door to suddenly turn quiet.

It was at that moment that he finally understood why.

A terrifying aura emanated from within the stone door, causing the werewolf to slam to the ground. The sheer pressure caused him to spurt a mouthful of blood as he helplessly lay on the ground.

He had never felt such an intense and malevolent aura ever before. The werewolf knew that this malevolent aura could only originate from one source.

The entity sealed behind the doors!

Realizing this, the werewolf's body shuddered in absolute horror. He remained prostrated on the ground, wondering if these stone doors, which had been laying dormant for several centuries, would finally open now.

The next moment, a low, guttural rumble originated from beyond the doors. It reverberated through the air like a creeping fog, carrying with it a cold and sinister edge that dripped with malice and disdain.

"They... are... coming..."

The words were drawn out, almost hissing, with a sharpness that cut into the werewolf's mind.

"Gather... the others...

"Control... all the... wolves..."

The tone was unsettlingly calm, as if it took pleasure in the fear it instilled in the listener. It had a cruel and mocking undertone, suggesting that it reveled in others' suffering.

It had an unnatural and distorted quality as though it echoed from the depths of a dark and twisted void.

The werewolf's face contorted in agony as it continued to listen to the instructions. This entity's voice was far more pain-inducing than the ravings that he had so gotten used to. "Deal... with the... intruders...

"The night... of the blood moons... draws near...

"...Ancient blood ritual...

"Almost... complete!"

Finally, after what seemed like forever, the voice finally stopped speaking. The carvings on the stone door began to whisper ominous ravings once again.

However, this time, the werewolf was no longer affected by them.

He slowly rose to his feet and turned his head upward, in the direction of the Howlett Estate. His crimson eyes flashed with boundless killing intent and mania.

Only one directive echoed inside his chaotic mind.

Deal with the intruders!

-

The twin moons hung low in the night sky, their soft glow piercing through the thick canopy of the peculiar trees found in the Weeping Woods.

Close to a hundred Magi and mercenaries had departed from Stratford, but now they had divided into several smaller and stealthier groups.

This was done so as to, firstly, not alert the enemy, and secondly, to surround the wolves in the large clearing from all sides.

The group led by Adam consisted of him, his three students, Kenley, Ragnar, and three other mortal mercenaries. Their eyes were sharp as eagles as they swept the path ahead.

Adam suddenly weaved a simple one-hand gesture and cast Mind Whisper.

The following moment, his calm voice directly entered the minds of everyone except the three mercenaries.

'Listen to my instructions closely,' he said mentally.

Art, Aiden, Eleiney, Kenley, and Ragnar simultaneously looked in Adam's direction. Their pupils constricted as they carefully listened to his words.

'Once we reach the clearing, we will be met with hundreds of wolves controlled by werewolves that are hidden in the Howlett Estate,' he began.

'I need you all to stay at the edge of the clearing and climb the tallest tree. You will spend most of your time on high ground, casting long-range spells.'

Kenley suddenly asked with a mental transmission of his own, 'My lord, what about these three mortals with us?'

Adam turned his head ever so slightly, glancing at Kenley with an indifferent expression.

'If I were you, I wouldn't bother about them. They are bound to die one way or another.' Seeing Adam's emotionless jet-black eyes, Kenley couldn't help but nervously gulp.

'U-Understood!'

Adam continued, 'Only care about the well-being of your team. If things get desperate, I want you to focus only on protecting yourself.'

Hearing him speak in such a manner, Eleiney couldn't help but nervously ask, 'P-Professor... are you not going to be fighting alongside us?'

'No,' said Adam. 'I have to go inside the Howlett Manor.'

Everyone was stunned. Kenley and Ragnar were less shocked because they knew about the mission that the Brotherhood had given to Adam.

However, Adam's students couldn't understand just why Adam would take such a big risk to venture into the structure that housed multiple werewolves. Even if he was a Rank 2 Magus, this was an extremely dangerous endeavor.

Before the three of them could voice out their complaints, Adam reminded them, 'Remember, my students. The path of a Magus is filled with blood and slaughter.

'Even if you spend your entire life avoiding conflict, it will always manage to find you. This is inevitable. In tonight's battle, I won't be able to help you for the most part.

'This is a battle that you have to overcome on your own!'

The children couldn't help but become nervous, but the following moment, they steeled their resolve and nodded confidently.

Although Adam had said that, he would never leave his students alone in the midst of countless bloodthirsty beasts. He had already made certain arrangements covertly. Right at that moment, his Sphere of Resonance touched upon the perimeter of the large clearing inside the woods. The scene that entered his mind caused him to be stunned. His eyes narrowed as an intense foreboding feeling welled up in his heart.

Only one thought echoed inside his head.

How did they know?!
