Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Adam looked at his fist with a pensive expression. The skin on it was beginning to peel off, and one could almost see the knuckle bones.

The youth had only recently started practicing the Astral Tyrant Manual, and his body was far from reaching the point of being considered the strongest weapon.

That is why in the earlier stages he would require gauntlets—strong ones at that—to carry out the techniques of the magic combat method that he had absorbed from the memories of the expert.

”Ah, whatever.” Adam jerked his fist a little and then blew on it to try and alleviate the burning sensation. ”I hope that fatty gets my stuff as quickly as possible.”

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the three vampire spawns that were standing a few meters away from him, frozen in absolute shock.

And when his gaze landed on the unconscious people lying on top of the ritual formation, intense fury bubbled up in his heart. He slowly walked toward the vampire spawns with clenched fists.

”Although you’ve been turned into mindless servants by that vampire, don’t expect any mercy from me.”

The cold words of the youth sent chills down the undead creatures’ backs. Their bodies shuddered in fear and they couldn’t even get a word out of their mouths no matter how hard they tried.

They were rooted on the spot as Adam, who seemed like the grim reaper to them, slowly approached them one step at a time. The sound of each step felt like a hammer pummeling their still hearts.

With an indifferent expression, Adam walked in front of the first vampire spawn and effortlessly grabbed his head.

”P-Please! Please! I’m innocent! I’m a resident of H-Hannes City… Y-You can’t kill me!!” The vampire spawn somehow managed to get his words out through gaps between Adam’s fingers.

”Can’t kill you?” Adam looked at the spawn as if looking at nothing more than an insignificant ant. And before he clenched his hand, he coldly muttered, ”Watch me.”

SPLAT!

The vampire spawn’s head burst open like a watermelon. His mangled mix of brain matter and bones splashed all around him.

As the headless undead creature wobbly fell to his knees, Adam walked to the next vampire spawn and casually swiped his hand. A thin, red line gradually appeared on the spawn’s neck and before long, his head had separated from his body!

The last vampire spawn watched on with disbelief as his fellow undead creature was killed with such ease. He couldn’t stop his body from trembling in sheer horror as he saw the youth slowly walk over to him.

As Adam walked toward the last spawn, blood gushed out like a fountain from the neck of the spawn he had just beheaded. The blood splashed all over him, making him appear like a bloodthirsty fiend.

The image of Adam soaked in blood sent shivers down the last vampire spawn’s body. He retreaded clumsily and fell on his butt as he begged for mercy. ”P-Please, spare me! I was being controlled. I-I didn’t mean it! I d-didn’t want to do it!”

”Didn’t mean it?” Adam continued to walk forward and nodded. ”I know you didn’t mean it.”

Listening to Adam, the vampire spawn felt as if he had found a way out. He couldn’t help but begin to hope. But Adam’s next words doused him in a bucket of cold water.

”But so what?”

Adam balled his right palm into a fist, raised it, and was about to bring it down, killing the vampire spawn once and for all.

But suddenly!

ZOOM!

His eyes narrowed and he hurriedly tried to defend himself as a red streak of light brutally crashed against his body, sweeping him off of his feet.

”Gaaahhhh!” Adam clearly felt his rib crack from the sudden attack. When he looked up, he saw that the vampire Magus had pinned him to the ground. The vampire’s foot had viciously pressed against his chest, applying great pressure on him.

The youth felt greatly humiliated from being stepped on by someone, that too an undead creature. He growled, ”Get off of me, you—”

BAM!

The vampire raised his foot and viciously stomped Adam’s head. Blood spurted out from under his foot as the youth’s forehead was grievously injured.

”Quite a sturdy skeleton for a human,” the vampire muttered with slight surprise.

With Adam’s buried head as the focal point, spide-web-like cracks had formed on the ground within a five-meter radius. One could tell just from looking at this, how strong the vampire’s attack must have been.

As the vampire continued to press his foot against Adam’s head, he turned around and roared at the last remaining vampire spawn. ”Finish the preparations!”

”Y-Yes!” The spawn was jolted awake from the shock he had just felt from being at death’s door. Without wasting another moment, he began placing the human sacrifices at specific points on the formation.

The preparations were almost complete!

As the vampire’s forearms and chest began to regenerate at a rapid pace, he shifted his gaze from the spawn and gazed at the other two spawns that had just been killed by Adam.

Seeing how brutally they’d been killed, he couldn’t help but glare at the youth underneath his foot. ”You’re quite vicious, aren’t you, you little shit?”

Adam was desperately struggling to free himself, but the vampire continued to heavily press him into the ground. Even though Adam was constantly vigilant of the vampire, the latter’s speed had truly surprised him. And before he knew it, he was already pinned down.

Seeing the youth’s futile struggle, the vampire’s lips curled up into a cruel smile.

”You know what? I had initially planned to get rid of you for ruining my plans. But now I’m thinking of making you my spawn.”

The vampire raised his foot and, without giving Adam a moment of respite, instantly stomped again.

”Ugghh!!” Adam groaned in agony, his entire face covered in blood.

”But before that, I need to tame you a little. You’ve been a real pain in the ass.” The vampire coldly smiled, revealing his sharp fangs.

He continued to stomp on Adam’s face, each of his attacks infused with mana. He made sure to not give the youth a single chance to free himself.

”Hahahaha!” He laughed maniacally as he greatly enjoyed the feeling of bullying Adam.

But suddenly…

Two swords instantly closed in on him from each side, one covered in flames, the other in lightning!
