Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 515: Shadow Style



Chapter 515: Shadow Style



Ever since his battle with the two assassins from the Umbra Thieves where Adam had inadvertently infused shadow magic with the magic combat technique of the Astral Tyrant Manual, he had experimented quite a bit on it.

He found that other magical elements could be seamlessly fused together with the Hand of Doom, causing him to be elated at this discovery.

Since then, he had researched and, through constant trial and error, was able to create a brand new subset of the Hand of Doom techniques that utilized shadow magic.

Hand of Doom: Shadow Style!

ONE HIT!!

A large amount of mana gathered in his palm, in the form of shadow magic. He aimed his hand straight and placed four fingers on the werewolf's abdomen.

Then, he struck with a devastating one-inch punch, while at the same time rotating his fist and arm.

BOOM!!!

The werewolf spurt out a mouthful of blood as he felt his ribs and spine shatter from the punch. But soon enough, his regeneration ability kicked in, and his grievous injuries began to heal at a rapid rate.

Adam's eyebrows wrinkled into a tight knot as he thought to himself, One Hit is a technique that possesses incredible penetrative power, but despite that, I wasn't able to kill the werewolf!

This bastard's regenerative capabilities are the real deal!

If that's the case...

His eyes narrowed as a vicious glint flashed through them. He hurriedly weaved a set of complex hand gestures in the span of a split second. His movements were so quick that his hands appeared to be a blur.

A bright magic circle lit up underneath him and he finally cast a spell.

Rank 2 Spell: Amplify Gravity!

The gravity in a thirty-foot radius sphere around the youth suddenly increased by threefold, causing the Rank 2 werewolf to miserably fall to the ground on his knees.

"Still not going down, I see," said Adam in a chilly voice. "Quite the sturdy body you have." ROAR!!

The werewolf growled at the youth defiantly, his eyes flashing with insanity and bloodlust. However, due to the effects of the gravity field, that was all he could do.

It put a lot of strain on him to move, however, slowly but surely, he was beginning to get accustomed to the spell and getting back to his feet.

But how could Adam allow that?

The spell, Amplify Gravity, was never a killing-move to begin with. It was only used to restrain the target. Not to mention, the spell lasted no more than ten seconds and consumed a large amount of mana to sustain.

Adam got into a horse stance, positioning his palms in front of him. His left palm faced the werewolf and his right palm faced the sky.

An extremely large quantity of mana gathered in his palms as he coldly muttered, "Let's see you regenerate from this."

The next moment, he spun both his hands.

Hand of Doom: Shadow Style!

BILLOWING STRIKE!!

For the first time since the beginning of the battle, fear flashed in the werewolf's eyes. He felt his upper body stretch outward, swirling in a circular motion.

His flesh, muscles, and tendons tore open as blood splattered in all directions. The werewolf willed his regeneration ability to work at overdrive, however, it fell short.

No matter how quickly his wounds healed, the rate at which his body was getting torn apart was even faster!

Gradually, his bones were reduced to dust and finally, his inner organs were destroyed. SPLAT!

The sound of the werewolf's upper body splitting into smithereens echoed throughout the clearing. At once, everyone turned in the direction the bone-chilling sound originated from. Witnessing the sight of Adam victoriously standing before the werewolf, whose upper body was now missing, everyone gasped in absolute disbelief.

The people nearest to him-Adam's squad members-had their eyes wide open and their jaws nearly touching the ground.

Kenley couldn't help but loudly gulp, exclaiming, "Such a ruthless technique! Half of that beast's body just disappeared!"

What made this feat even more shocking was the fact that werewolves were known for their regenerative abilities. Despite that fact, Adam had managed to kill the creature in one go. The might of that technique sent shivers down his spine. Kenley couldn't help but wonder if the same technique was used on him, would anything even remain?

"J-Just where did he learn such a technique?!" Ragnar blurted out in horror.

Adam's three students, however, were more excited than afraid. For the first time in their lives, they were witnessing the true extent of his powers.

They couldn't help but feel proud of the fact that they were under the tutelage of such a powerful Magus!

However, their excitement didn't last long as the wolves that had paused attacking them had now resumed once again.

"Focus on the battle!" Kenly roared. "There aren't many wolves left!"

The squad began attacking the wolves again. However, much to their surprise, they found

that these creatures seemed to have gone berserk for some reason.

This put even greater pressure on them, but thanks to Yavia's assistance, they managed to hold out and stand their ground.

Such scenes were taking place all across the clearing. The remaining wolves had strangely gone into a state of frenzy after the deaths of all the werewolves.

Witnessing this scene, Adam's eyes narrowed, and a foreboding feeling gripped his heart.

I thought the wolves would scatter after all the werewolves were dealt with, he wondered. Seems I was mistaken...

He then turned his head, gazing at the dilapidated Howlett Manor in front of him.

Then that can only mean one thing...

Adam's expression turned extremely solemn as he began walking toward the manor. His hands clenched involuntarily as he thought to himself, Now that the major nuisance has been taken care of, all that's left is the entity behind the red door.

I need to kill it while it is still in a weakened state!

He finally arrived at the entrance of the manor. He paused in his footsteps, glancing at the

person who was waiting for him.

"Magus Darkmore," he stated flatly.

Gore looked at him with cold smile on his face and replied, "Magus Constantine..."

His eyes flashed with hostility and he added,

"It seems we have come to an impasse."
