Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe-Chapter 295 Quietly Die

295 Quietly Die

The group of Magi stood beside the cascading waterfall, their attention suddenly drawn to the deep and foreboding rumbling beneath their feet.

"W-What's happening?"

"Don't tell me…"

Ivan and Kelley, who were busy looting the corpse of the Iron Mammoth, suddenly stopped in their tracks and glanced at Alex with expressions filled with terror.

Meanwhile, Alex was staring deep into the forests where he could see shadows of unseen creatures slowly making their way toward the clearing where he and the rest stood.

His greatest fear had come true.

The fight earlier had caused a lot of commotion, attracting the attention of the nearby beasts.

Alex and his group were in a very precarious situation at the moment. They had just finished a gruesome battle with the Iron Mammoth and were in terrible shape. There was no way they could fight another battle now.

The ground beneath the forest floor trembled, sending ripples through the nearby pond. Meanwhile, the group of Magi exchanged wary glances, sensing the approaching presence of something massive.

Out of everyone present, Adam was the first one to have identified the looming danger. His body shuddered in terror at the size of the horde that was approaching.

For the first time in a long time, genuine fear flashed through his eyes.

His mind worked in overdrive and his pupils darted around at great speeds, looking for ways to get out of this dangerous predicament. He had to be quick on his feet. Time was of the essence.

There's no way we'll be able to fight head-on with this massive beast horde.

Running away is also not an option. The size of this horde is simply too big!

Adam then glanced at Edward and Lisa who were frozen in their spots, gazing into the forest in fear. Damn it! Only if Ennea and Aquila were here…

Edward and Lisa's familiars had been heavily injured in the past battles. Hence, they were recovering from their injuries back in the eastern camp. If their familiars were here, then it would have been far easier for them to escape this place.

Adam's eyes darted around once again, looking around for clues. Panic slowly began to creep inside his heart as the clutches of death slowly closed in on him.

Think! Think! There has to be a way! There must— Suddenly, his thoughts came to an abrupt halt when his gaze landed on the enormous corpse of the Iron Mammoth. His eyes flashed with brilliance as a plan slowly began to form in his mind.

Then, he turned his head and gazed at Alex and his teammates, his eyes gleaming with a ruthless glint.

The next moment he made his move.

From the beginning, when Adam identified the beast horde in the distance, till now, no more than two seconds had passed. The youth's thought process was so quick that everything around him seemed to be passing in slow motion.

"Fatty! Cut open the mammoth's abdomen and take out the innards! Now!" He roared as he made his way toward Alex's team. "Lisa, lend me a hand!"

Not only Edward and Lisa, but everyone snapped out of their stupor when they heard Adam's voice. His tone carried a sense of urgency that they'd never felt before.

Adam's action carried a terrifying viciousness as he approached Ivan, who was the closest to him.

The burly Magus instinctively swung his hand at Adam, not having expected the youth to suddenly attack him.

However, Adam effortlessly dodged the attack. He grabbed Ivan's wrist with his left hand and launched his right hand and delivered two chops back to back at lightning speed, his hand turning into a shadowy blur.

One shot to the armpit.

One shot to the neck.

Instantly, Ivan's eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness. Meanwhile, Lisa also managed to gain an upper hand and knocked out Kelley.

Adam turned his head around and glanced at Alex, his eyes flashing with sinister intent. However, Alex had already managed to cast a spell in the time it took Adam and Lisa to take down his teammates.

Rank 1 Spell: Mold Earth!

The next moment, two thick and sturdy earthen walls were erected from the ground, preventing Adam from approaching.

"You bastard!" Alex roared at the top of his lungs as he turned around and fled. "Killing your allies?! I'll report this to the higher-ups! You're done for, you hear me! You're finished!"

With that said, he cast another spell that caused green-

colored winds to swirl around his feet. Following that, his movement speed increased by several folds and he disappeared into the forest.

Adam's eyes narrowed and his lips formed a sneer. "Report this to the high-ups? That's only if you make it out alive."

He then turned back around and saw that Edward had already cut open the mammoth's abdomen and was in the process of taking out all the inner organs. Then, he glanced at the edge of the clearing, his expression turning somber.

The youth rushed toward the mammoth's corpse and helped Edward take out all of its innards. After having made enough space inside the corpse for the three of them to enter, he urgently instructed, "You guys get in. Now!"

Edward and Lisa glanced at each other with slight hesitation. But the next moment, they resolved themselves and finally entered the mammoth's large corpse.

Meanwhile, Adam grabbed the unconscious bodies of Ivan and Kelly and followed after his friends in a hurry. After he crawled inside the corpse, he used the two unconscious bodies to barricade the large cut on the mammoth's abdomen.

Right when all the preparations were over, a massive wolf pack emerged from the forest.

HOWL!

Their fur was a shade of dark, perfectly blending in with the forest backdrop. Each wolf was larger than a natural wolf, their eyes gleamed with a crimson light as they dashed toward the giant mammoth corpse by the waterfall.

The size of this wolf pack was enormous. Adam, through his Sphere of Resonance, had estimated that this pack alone consisted of more than a hundred and fifty wolves!

They were drawn by the large commotion here, hoping to find enough prey to feed on. However, all they saw was a single corpse. But seeing the size of this corpse, they began to drool and immediately pounced on it.

Ivan and Kelley, who were unconscious all this while, suddenly woke up in agonizing pain when they felt their flesh being gnawed at.

When they opened their eyes in horror, they saw half of their body was inside a dark place, while the other half was sticking out into the light, being chewed on by ferocious wolves. They instantly panicked when they realized the situation they were in.

Under this inhumane pain, they were about to scream, but suddenly a pair of hands viciously covered their mouths from behind.

Adam, who was hiding right behind them, applied pressure into his palms and broke Ivan and Kelley's jaws, making sure that the two didn't produce a single sound.

The youth's eyes flashed with boundless rage and killing intent, as he thought to himself,

Quietly die in the jaws of the wolves…

Just like how those kids did five years ago!
