Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 205: Pressure

Gorgoʼs eyes bulged out of his eye sockets as he felt his ribs break from the attack. The sheer impact of that kick left him bewildered.

How can it be so powerful?!

As his body curled up like a shrimp and shot into the distance, he couldnʼt believe how he could have gotten this injured despite the reinforcement of Alleviation.

”Acckkk!” He miserably landed on the ground like a lifeless ragdoll, struggling even to breathe as the air had been knocked out of him.

Just as he was starting to recover from the attack, he heard Adamʼs mocking words. ”Did you think I didnʼt notice you hiding under the corpses? I could smell that pig stench from a mile away.”

Gorgo sat back up and wiped the blood from his lips. He was furious at Adamʼs words but couldnʼt even reply because he was having trouble breathing.

With eyes filled with hatred, he saw Adam leisurely walking toward him with an arrogant smile. Seeing that cocky attitude, Gorgoʼs blood boiled. He wanted nothing more than to rip apart the human at this instance.

However, the next moment, he heard hurried footsteps approaching him from behind. Gorgo turned around to see that it was Kurdan.

”You alright?!” Kurdan asked in concern as he helped Gorgo to his feet. At the same time, he kept an alert eye on Adam who was walking toward them.

”I… I hate to admit it… But heʼs strong. Very strong,” Gorgo spat through gritted teeth.

”Donʼt worry. I have a way to deal with him.” Kurdan grinned. He then looked at Adam with narrowed eyes and asked in a cold tone, ”Tell me, Adam, do you think your friends will survive?”

Adam stopped in his footsteps, his gaze moving past Kurdan and Gorgo, and landing on Edward and Daneli who were desperately fighting three orcs together.

Things didnʼt look good for them.

”They didnʼt stand a chance to begin with and now that theyʼre outnumbered, itʼs only a matter of time before they die,” Kurdan muttered vicious words, aiming to disturb Adamʼs state of mind.

However, the response he received was something completely out of his expectations.

”Outnumbered, you say?” Adamʼs lips formed a confident grin. ”Sounds good to me.”

The next moment, he weaved a series of hand gestures at such speeds that his hands appeared to be a blur. Following that, a large magic circle lit up behind him and merged with the surrounding space.

A terrifying otherworldy pressure descended on the battlefield after Adam cast his spell. A large area of space behind him distorted and the colors started to saturate. Myriad colors spilled all in mid-air.

Until finally…

The void tore open and a direct portal to the Spirit World was formed!

When Kurdan witnessed this phenomenon, his face was filled with disbelief. He looked at Adam, his gaze filled with shock. ”You… you are a Summoner?!”

Adam didnʼt reply, instead, he just smiled mysteriously.

As far as Kurdan knew, the only people who could communicate with the residents of the Spirit World were Summoners and Necromancers.

The orc immediately discarded the idea of Adam being a Necromancer because the latterʼs mana was very pure, unlike a Necormancerʼs whose mana was tainted by darkness.

Magi who majored in the School of Summoning were dangerous to fight against. After all, they could summon an army of spirits to do their bidding with just a wave of their hands.

However, on second thought, Kurdan calmed down after he realized that his fears were unwarranted. After all, Adam was merely a Rank 1 Magus. How many spirits could he summon?

Definitely not more than a handful. But he was not sure as to the exact number. He had never met another Rank 1 Magus who majored in the School of Summoning. After all, everyone in the orc tribe focused mostly on magic combat.

Kurdan couldnʼt help but have an ominous feeling growing in his heart. He turned around and ordered the rest of the orcs in a loud voice, ”Kill those two as quickly as possible.”

”OHH!” The three orcs complied and the ferocity of their attacks against the Edward and Daneli rose steeply.

The pair were having great difficulty battling the orcs, to begin with. Now with them attacking even more intensely, Edward and Daneli couldnʼt help but grit their teeth and desperately fight to survive.

Gradually, their whole bodies were covered in ghastly wounds as they were slowly inching closer to their deaths.

Seeing this, Adamʼs eyes turned solemn, but he still maintained the facade of absolute confidence. Then, he finally completed his spell-casting.

Rank 1 Spell: Hidden Servant!

At the same time, the youth roared. ”Come forth, my army!”

When Kurdan heard Adam say the word ʼarmyʼ, his heart sank and the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger. ”Hurry, we must kill him quick!”

He and Gorgo dashed in Adamʼs direction.

Meanwhile, from the portal to the Spirit World, instead of an army, only two invisible spirits wrapped in black, hooded cloaks descended and hovered around Adam.

Adam sternly commanded, ”Go help them.”

The two spirits looked at each other and could only helplessly nod before flying toward Edward and Daneli.

Hidden Servant was a spell that summoned the weakest of spirits from the Spirit World. These spirits were only capable of doing menial tasks such as cleaning, folding clothes, serving food, etc.

They were never meant to fight on the battlefield!

But the orcs didnʼt need to know that. Neither did they need to know that instead of an army of spirits, only two had descended to the material world. It also helped that the spirits were completely invisible to Rank 1 Magi, otherwise Adam couldnʼt have pulled this scam.

He had just blatantly lied through his teeth. If Kurdan could attempt to attack him psychologically, so could he. Now, it was suffice to say that his move had put heavy mental pressure on the orcs.

Now all he had to do was take care of Kurdan and Gorgo and save his friends before it was too late. He was confident about dealing with his opponents even when outnumbered, but he wasnʼt sure if the same could be said about his friends.

Edward and Daneli surprisingly found that the pressure on them had slightly decreased. Although the Unseen Servants could not fight, they could at the very least obstruct the orcs. However, this couldnʼt go on for long.

As the battle between Edward, Daneli, and the orcs reached the climax, Adam finally clashed with Kurdan and Gorgo.

With a crazed look on his face, Adam grinned ferociously like a hungry beast.

”KILL!!”
