Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe-Chapter 576 Sphere of Obscurity

576 Sphere of Obscurity

Witnessing the sudden turn of events, Adam couldn't help but curse inwardly, Damn it, this idiot!

Although he knew that Elysande would be greatly shocked when the truth finally came to light, at the very least he expected her to keep her composure.

He never imagined that the woman would lash out in such a way.

So the moment he noticed her reach for her sword and charge forward, he swiftly grabbed her sword-wielding hand. Then, he grabbed her neck, swept her off of her feet, and slammed her to the ground as gently as he could.

"Guhh!" Elysande couldn't help but grimace as her face touched the dirty floor of the sewer tunnel. Despite that, she continued to stare daggers at Alvertos.

Adam was furious at her. He crouched low and spat through gritted teeth, "What the hell is wrong with you, woman?! Have you forgotten how long and hard we've worked to get this far?!"

"I don't care!" Elysande growled. "Let me go! I must kill this traitor this instant."

Adam had the sudden urge to cast a Fireball at Elysande's face and bring her back to her senses.

"You idiot!" He scolded harshly. "If you kill them we won't be able to find out much about the Umbra Thieves!"

He paused for a moment and added coldly, "And retract your damned killing intent lest they notice something."

While Adam had her pinned down on the ground within his sphere of obscurity, Alvertos and Rawlins were continuing to discuss with each other about what had happened in the last few years.

"Now, other than the patriarch of the Flynn Family," Alvertos began. "Who we have to be wary of is that Magus named Adam Constantine."

Rawlins's eyes narrowed. "I've heard about him, yes. He's quite a ruthless individual. The reports have stated that he invaded many of our bases in the past and viciously murdered our members."

Thinking back to Adam's torture methods that he had personally witnessed, Alvertos added with certainty, "You have no idea just how ruthless he can be. He's like a devil!"

He paused for a few moments before adding, "If we're going to land a blow to the Flynn Family, we first have to get rid of Adam—"

Suddenly, his words got stuck in his throat and he could feel the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.

Not just him, even Rawlins and the two other Magi in black could sense a trace of bloodlust being aimed at them.

Immediately, they retreated a few steps back and vigilantly gazed in the direction where Adam and Elysande were standing.

Yet, they couldn't sense anybody there.

"What was that?!" Alvertos's eyes narrowed as he wielded his sword. "I'm sure of it, I just sensed killing intent!"

Rawlins looked at his underlings and asked flatly, "You said he wasn't followed?"

"My Lord, we had checked very thoroughly. We were sure there were traces of no one," said one of the Magi.

Rawlins turned his head in the direction where he felt the bloodlust originate from and couldn't help but curse to himself, Damn it!

"Go check the tunnel once again," he ordered the two Rank 2 Magi.

"Yes!" The two of them replied in unison before slowly making their way toward the other end of the tunnel with their weapons drawn.

Seeing the two Magi slowly approach them, Adam and Elysande gradually began to step backward.

Adam had already let go of Elysand by now. However, he couldn't help but look at her in displeasure. "We have no other option but to engage now."

Elysande felt extremely ashamed of how she had reacted just now. She just couldn't control her emotions after hearing all the things Alvertos had said to Rawlins.

With emotions filled with regret and a bit of hope, she replied, "No… we can still continue to surveil them! You said it yourself - they won't be able to see us inside your illusion!"

Adam shook his head with a sigh. "Too late for that."

Right at that moment, the two Magi who were approaching them suddenly stopped in their tracks.

One of them crouched on the ground and brushed his finger on the grimy surface. After examining his finger, he muttered in confusion, "Huh? Blood?"

This was the same blood that dripped from Elysande's palms when she clenched her fists tightly in a fit of rage!

The Magus turned around and said to Rawlins, "My Lord, there's blood here, and it seems to be fresh!"

"Blood?" Rawlins's eyes narrowed and a foreboding feeling gripped his heart.

He was sure there were no rodents around, so he couldn't help but wonder just where this blood came from. But his thoughts came to an abrupt halt when he saw a shocking scene unfold.

The space a few meters behind his two underlings suddenly rippled ever so slightly, and two figures gradually came into view.

Rawlins was thunderstruck and he hurriedly screamed, "Watch out!"

The two Magi immediately turned around when they sensed danger. They saw, Adam and Elysande charging at them with blazing killing intent.

Adam flicked his hand and two daggers that were shaped like raven feathers appeared in his palms. Then, he exerted strength into his legs and shot forward like a shooting star leaving a trail of dark energy.

Seeing Adam charging toward him, the Magus in black wasn't worried in the least.

He was an experienced Magus from the Umbra Thieves who had fought countless battles. Besides, he had just recently advanced to Rank 2, so his confidence was at an all-time high. He too brandished his poisonous daggers and shot forward, aiming to overpower Adam.

But suddenly, he saw something that sent a chill down his spine.

He saw Adam's lips slowly curl up into a cold, cruel smile. Then, the white lotus patterns in his pupils flashed momentarily before he completely disappeared!

"Huh?" The Magus in black was shocked.

But his shock didn't last for long. The very next moment, he felt everything in his vision spin. The tunnel, the floor, the ceiling, everything spinned several times before finally stopping. frёeωebɳovel.com

THUD!

His gaze then landed on a familiar body. Except, it was a headless body with blood spurting out from the neck.

With another thud the headless body limply fell to the ground and his gaze landed on Adam who was walking away from him.

The raven-haired youth's daggers were dripping with blood.

His blood.

He finally realized just what had transpired, but it was already too late. The light in his eyes dimmed and one final thought emerged in his drifting conciousness.

Monster…
