Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe C.367 Finish

?Hundreds of female slaves who were huddled inside their cells were stunned by the sudden scene unfolding before them.

A black-robed Magus, whose facial appearance they couldn't make out, entered the dungeon and instantly killed the dozen Rank 1 Magi guarding the cells.

The speed and ruthlessness with which this Magus had killed the rest had thoroughly shocked them.

Their eyes were wide with fear and disbelief as they glanced at the fresh corpses of the Magi and then back at the newcomer. Their haggard faces and tattered clothes spoke of prolonged suffering and hopelessness.

As they saw this Magus wearing a black pointy hat appear before them, a mixture of hope and astonishment rippled through the hearts of these women.

However, there was still fear lingering in their eyes.

"It's time," they heard the Magus softly mutter.

Four orbs of pure mana orbited around Adam as he glanced at these pitiful women. His eyes flashed with complicated emotions - grief, anger, sympathy, and finally relief.

With a wave of his hand, the four Magic Missiles zoomed through the air and destroyed the locks of the dozens of cells situated in this underground dungeon.

After destroying the locks, the Magic Missiles entered the cells one by one. Under the surprised yelps of the women, the spell destroyed each and everyone's shackles and chains with deadly accuracy before finally dissipating into the air.

The slaves were completely stunned by what had just happened. They were initially hesitant, but when they realized that their restraints were truly gone, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yet, none of them dared to come out of their cells.

They stared at Adam with wariness. Despite the youth breaking them free, they refused to come near him.

Seeing the terror in their eyes, Adam's heart tightened. He found himself involuntarily clenching his fists, thinking to himself, Just how much suffering did you have to go through?

He took a deep breath and spoke with a gentle voice, "You're free now."

That word struck the chords of the hundreds of women who were gazing at Adam. Their bodies involuntarily trembled upon hearing his words.

They had never hoped of ever hearing that word again.

Free.

One by one, the women started to come out of their cells. The number was minuscule at first, but slowly they gained their confidence and stepped out, standing in the long corridor, timidly facing Adam.

A young human mustered her courage and stepped forward. She glanced at Adam's countenance which was covered by a layer of illusory smoke.

She couldn't make out his appearance, but she could see the tears of blood streaming down his blurry face.

The woman's lips quivered and she asked, "Who… who are you?"

Adam glanced at her and faintly smiled, "No one."

Then, he raised his hand and pointed at the secret exit on the other side of the dungeon. "Hurry. You all must leave before this place collapses."

Another woman stepped forward and asked with apprehension, "B-But what about the guards? We… we can't fight them!"

"I've already dealt with them," Adam spoke gently. He glanced at everyone present and nodded. "Now go."

With that said, he turned around and ran back the way he had come from. His job here was done.

Now all that remained was the final act.

The hundreds of women watched Adam's departing back with tearful eyes. They had never dreamed of seeing the light of day.

To them, it was a foregone conclusion that they would die within the walls of this very building.

But now, all of a sudden, this Magus appeared out of nowhere and set them free. f𝗿𝚎eweb𝗻o𝐯𝐞l.𝚌om

For the rest of their lives, the image of this mysterious Magus who cried tears of blood would forever be etched inside their hearts.

They cast one final glance in the direction that Adam had run off to before turning around and escaping the dungeon.

…

Through the sea of flames and the falling debris, Adam finally made his way back toward the private suite where he had fought the Rank 2 Magi earlier.

Upon entering, he was surprised to see fresh new corpses of Magi sprawled across the ground. They had vicious claw marks all over their bodies. Some had their limbs missing, while others had large gaping holes in them.

It seemed that they had died a very gruesome death.

Adam glanced at Valerian, who was standing before the unconscious Atkin and Nara, and asked, "These guys came to rescue them?"

Valerian nodded. "That's right, brother."

Adam glanced at all the new corpses, numbering close to a dozen, and couldn't help but wonder in slight surprise, Just how many Mana Foundation Magi did this couple employ?

He then crouched down beside Valerian and gently patted his furry head. "You did well."

Valerian glanced at the white lotus pattern in the youth's eyes. Then, he glanced at the tears of blood that streamed down endlessly.

"Brother… you should stop," he said with an extremely pained expression.

Hearing the concern in his voice, Adam's heart warmed. "Don't worry. I'm almost done."

Valerian deeply glanced at the youth before nodding his head. Then, he turned into a gray flash of light and disappeared inside the former's spirit sea.

As soon as the young dragon left, Adam's soft and gentle expression slowly crumbled, replaced by cold indifference.

His gaze landed on the Rollins couple, his eyes spewing unbridled killing intent.

He got to his feet and walked toward them. Then, he coated his finger with mana and viciously stabbed certain areas on their bodies.

The couple's body trembled under Adam's attack. The places his finger had stabbed were now flowing with blood. Despite that, the couple still hadn't woken up.

Seeing that, Adam's lips curled up into a cold smile.

He had just pressed dozens of points on their bodies, each point accurately aligning with their mana channels.

What he had done was effectively prevent the couple from using mana for a short period of time!

"Alright then," Adam coldly muttered.

He then grabbed the couple by the hair and dragged them through the charred ground.

"Time to finish this."
