Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe-Chapter 543 Divine Meteor
543 Divine Meteor
Five Magi of the Brotherhood continued to destroy the weeping trees and slowly made their way to the town.
After meeting up with the refugees, the group was divided into two. One Rank 2 Magus and over a dozen Rank 1 Magi from the Brotherhood led the group of refugees to safety.
Meanwhile, five Rank 2 Magi dashed toward the town, intending to provide assistance to Adam.
"Brothers, we're almost there!" The lead Magus roared as he destroyed over a dozen weeping trees with a simple spell.
This person was none other than Hudson Carr, the Agent of the Brotherhood who had received Adam when the youth had first arrived at Acryon, the capital of the Acadian Empire.

This damned troublesome kid! Hudson cursed inwardly.
It's only been a little more than a year since he publically executed the Rollins couple in Acryon, and now he's cooked up a storm once again!
When Elrick informed him that he had to lead a group of Magi to Stratford and help Adam who had been stationed there for a mission, Hudson knew that something big was going to happen yet again.
This bastard is a calamity magnet! He thought to himself helplessly. I hope he isn't dead...
Hearing the sound of intense fighting coming from up ahead, Hudson knew that he had reached his destination.
His expression turned solemn as he instructed the group of Magi behind him, "Ready your magical components. Prepare for battle!"
As the group emerged from the Weeping Woods, suddenly a green light flashed and Yavia arrived before them.
Shocked, she hurriedly made distance.
"Who are you?! What is your business here?" Seeing no insignia on their cloaks that would suggest the organization these Magi belonged to, the little wood spirit couldn't help but feel alarmed.
"Get out of the way!" Hudson admonished.
"N-No!" Yavia did not relent. "Are you… Adam's friends?"
Hudson was taken aback and asked in a softer tone, "Who are you?"
"There's no time to explain!" Yavia nervously stated. "Adam has instructed me to leave the town immediately. All of you withdraw! Now!"
Hudson's eyes narrowed, a suspicious light flashing in them. He thought that Yavia was from the enemy's side, preventing them from assisting Adam.
But before he could speak, a blinding white light appeared in the skies above the town!
It was so bright that it completely overshadowed the dark crimson night sky. Yavia, Hudson, and the rest of the Magi were forced to squint their eyes, unable to see clearly.
"This… What is that?!"
"Is that a meteor?!"
"It suddenly appeared!"
"No, wait… the mana…"
An extremely overbearing wave of mana radiated from the light in the night sky.
It was powerful!
It was tyrannical!
This group of Magi found themselves involuntarily gasping for air. Yavia looked at the blinding light that continued to blink, disappearing and reappearing, as it flew towards the clouds.
"Adam…" she muttered anxiously.
"What?!" Hudson glanced at her and asked in disbelief, "T-T-That's Adam?!"
Yavia snapped out of her daze and said in an urgent tone, "We need to leave now! Or we'll get caught up in the blast radius!"
Hudson glanced at the brilliant sphere of light in the night sky, incredulously muttering to himself, "Is this really the power of a Rank 2 Magus?!"
…
Inside the illusion, Stratford suddenly felt his skin crawl, his intuition warning him of the danger to come.
But when he looked around and saw a vibrant forest where little, harmless animals frolicked and colorful flowers bloomed, he couldn't understand just where this sense of danger would come from.
"I feel like… something is missing," said the white-haired man.
Leah, who was lying down on the grass beside him, looked at him and asked, "What more do you need?"
The man looked at her and smiled while stroking her silky, blonde hair. "Nothing, my love. As long as you're with me, why would I ever need anything else?"
"Tell me, Stratford." Leah's lips curled up into a faint smile. "A lifetime of pain and misery, all for what? Aren't you happy now?"
Stratford's expression turned complicated. "I am, but…"

"But what?" Leah pressed.
"I love you… but I also love magic," said the man. "I guess you could say magic is my first love."
Leah asked softly, "If you had to choose between me and magic, whom would you choose?"
Stratford fell into deep silence, the nagging feeling of the impending doom intensifying inside his mind.
What's happening? Why is she asking me this? It is unlike her... Why do I feel this way? He thought in alarm.
He was snapped out of his daze when Leah called out, "Answer me, my love."
Stratford looked into her emerald eyes and smiled dotingly. "I guess… I would choose you."
"Good." Leah rested her head on the man's chest. "Let it go. Embrace it." freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Let what go? Embrace what?" Stratford asked in confusion.
Leah's lips curled up into a mischievous smirk and she whispered.
"Embrace the Divine Meteor!"
…
A brilliant streak of light tore through the night sky, a blazing comet that outshone the very stars. It moved with unbridled power, leaving behind a trail of blinding, white light.
Time seemed to slow down as the atmosphere hummed with tyrannical otherworldy energy.
The ground trembled with anticipation, the earth itself seemingly holding its breath as the meteor descended.
Seeing the ground enlarging in his vision and Stratford still standing in a daze, lost inside the illusion he had weaved, Adam's lips curled up into a devilish grin.
Hand of Doom: Divine Meteor!!
BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
It was like the roar of a thousand storms!
The earth quaked as Adam hurled toward the ground!
Inevitable!
Unstoppable!
He slammed right into Stratford with a deafening explosion, a cataclysmic force that seemed to tear the very fabric of reality itself.
The ground buckled and split, great fissures tearing through the streets as the shockwave rippled outward. Buildings crumbled as if they were made of sand.
A massive cloud of dust and ash erupted from the point of impact, billowing into the night sky like a monstrous mushroom cloud.
The force of the impact sent shockwaves in all directions, destroying the ground and uprooting the weeping trees in the vicinity.
It was as if nature itself was recoiling from the pain.
Yavia, Hudson, and the rest of the Magi had flown away just from the shockwaves of Adam's attacks. When they made it back to the clearing, they were thunderstruck by what they saw.
The land where the town of Stratford earlier used to be had now caved in, creating an enormous crater.
The town that stood so proudly beneath the stars for centuries now lay in ruin.
And in the center of the crater lay the fresh corpse of the Rank 3 Magus, Stratford!
Because of the devastating attack, only the werewolf's upper body remained. Although it was barely recognizable.
A bloodied figure stood victoriously beside the corpse, a tyrannical aura exuding from him that distorted the very air around him!
When the group of Magi laid eyes on this domineering figure, they felt goosebumps all over their body.
This scene would forever be ingrained in the memories of those present here.
In the history books of the Twilight Brotherhood, a new entry would be recorded:
That on the day that Selene and Luna turned crimson, the Rank 2 Magus, Adam Constantine, emerged victorious in the battle against the Rank 3 Magus, Stratford!
An unprecedented feat that would be revered by generations of those who would go on to join the Brotherhood.
On the night of the blood moons, a new legend was born.
His name was…
Constantine the Tyrant!
