Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe-Chapter 731: A Father’s Sacrifice

In the distant Galestine Ocean, about a day's journey off the coast of Blackshore, two massive tall-masted ships drfited across the water.

They were headed towards the lawless city of Blackshore.

The ship's towering masts seemed to pierce the clouds, and its sails were enchanted with magical runes that propelled the ship forward despite the absence of strong winds.

The vast hull, made from blackened wood, seemed to drink in the light of the twin moons, giving the ship an eerie, almost otherworldly presence.

At the deck of the ship, an old man wearing dark green Magus robes stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

Despite his calm outward appearance, his heart was gripped by nervousness.

Brigham Flynn's eyes squinted, his gaze traveling countless miles into the horizon. His hand clenched involuntarily, thinking of the inevitable battle he would have to take part in.

How many years has it been since I've fought on the front lines? A hundred years? A hundred fifty?

He sighed, his head lowered.

I have gotten complacent in my old age. I have gotten complacent in a lot of things…

His gaze narrowed when he thought about the person who awaited him at his destination.

He used to be his friend, almost like a brother.

That was until they stumbled across an inheritance left behind by an ancient Mana Core Magus.

That was the turning point in their relationship. From brothers to mortal enemies, over a mana extraction technique that woul grant its wielder great power.

Brigham steadied his breath, his eyes flashing with ruthless resolve.

No matter what! Kissinger must die… No matter what it takes, I will ensure he dies today!

The secret that Kissinger, one of the three leaders of the Umbra Thieves, knew was far too vaulabe. Brigham could not allow him to live knowing such a secret.

That is why, all those centuries ago he had attacked Kissinger within the inheritance ground, planning to kill him so that no one in the world would know his secret.

But fate often played cruel jokes on mortals.

Not only did Kissinger survive that ordeal, he even managed to advance to the rank of Mana Vortex Magus, and become one of the leaders of a large criminal organization known as the Umbra Thieves.

Moreover, the man had also sent his own son as a spy to work under Brigham!

Alvertos worked under Brigham for more than a century. The latter treated him like his own family.

But in the end, Alvertos had been the one to have exploited that trust and continuously poisoned him in small dosages over a long period of time.

Thinking of the time when he was teetering on the edge of life and death, Brigham couldn't help but sigh.

Kissinger, you would sacrifice your own son for your schemes.

I would sacrifice the world for my children.

And then there's that young man…

Brigham thought of the last conversation he had with Adam.

And that young man's father sacrificed himself for his family.

The old patriarch rasied his head, gazing at the dark clouds in the night sky with a bitter smile on his face.

He thought to himself, The three of us share such different relationships with our children.

But if I had to be honest… Adam's father was the more honorable man, far more courageous than you or I could ever hope to be, don't you think, Kissinger?

Brigham shook his head, chuckling wryly. Why am I thinking of all of these things now? Have I truly gone senile?

When he thought of Adam, his heart churned with conflicting emotions. The young man was the most gifted Magus he had ever known.

If it wasn't for this raven-haired youth, he would have succumbed to Alvertos' poison and truly died.

Yet, because he was able to survive and Alvertos' schemes were caught, Adam had become privy to his most closely guarded secret.

This was the very reason why Brigham was traveling to Blackshore to kill Kissinger. It was a secret far too valuable for him to risk having others know of it.

This secret of his was the most treasured heirloom of the Flynn Family.

It was the mana extraction techniue that would allow his descendants to reach the glorious stage of the Mana Core Rank!

The Mana Core Rank was the highest known arcane station not only in the Ulier Continent but in the entirety of Tron!

The current Emperor of Acadia was a Magus of the Mana Core Rank!

All the leaders of the Four Pillars of the Empire were Mana Core Magi!

The King of Baja High Forest was a Mana Core Magus!

This was a mana extraction technique that would allow his descendants to join the ranks of these legendary Magi and carve the Flynn name in the annals of history.

So how could he risk others knowing such an immensely valuable secret?

Two people other than Elysande and himself knew of the existence of this mana extraction technique. And there was no way Brigham was going to leave it up to fate, hoping they would keep his secret.

He had to take matters into his own hands!

Forgive me, dear boy, he thought.

But the moment you became aware of this secret, your fate had already been sealed. I know that this is selfish of me, ungrateful of me… to do this to you whom I owe my life to…

However, this is something I must do for the better future of my family. I cannot risk it!

Just like your father… I too must make this sacrifice!

His eyes flashed with viciousness and he steeled his heart. For the betterment of the Flynn Family and to ensure they climbed never-before-seen heights, he would bloody his hands a thousand times over.

He was willing to sacrifice his principles, his morals, his everything if it meant that his family would thrive in the future.

The weight of a brighter future… he was willing to bear it all by himself on his old and feeble shoulders.

This was his resolve as a father!

This was his resolve as a patriarch!

However, when he thought back to his last conversation with Adam once again, he couldn't help but begin to frown a little.

Traces of a foreboding feeling started to surface in his heart as he wondered, But what did he mean by that?

He still couldn't understand.

As the two ships slowly closed in on the coast of Blackshore, Adam's last words continued to relentlessly repeat inside Brigham's mind.

"I want you to know… that it was me."
