Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe - Chapter 773

Chapter 773: Similar Aura Chapter 773: Similar Aura Adam’s expression turned extremely dark and he involuntarily clenched his teeth.

Those damned cultists!

He cursed inwardly.

All the secret reports and intel gathered by the Brotherhood state that the cultists have been in cahoots with the devils of Hell for a long time now.

It was evident when I saw the sacrificial ritual in the underground chamber of the Duskfall Estate.

But this… The youth’s eyes narrowed, his gaze boring into the runes etched onto the walls.

Just what the hell are they planning?!

These runes are highly advanced, and even I can’t understand anything at all because they are written in the devil’s tongue.

He knew exactly why the runic language was translated into the devil’s tongue.

It was so that none who chanced upon it would be able to decipher it.

Furthermore, he could think of another reason why the cult would go so far.

On the off-chance that someone-no matter how minuscule the chances were-understood not only devil tongue but also had a deep understanding of rune magic, then they would be able to alter whatever it was that the cult was planning here.

These bastards… I have a very bad feeling about this, Adam thought to himself, his heart gripped by an extremely foreboding feeling.

Then there was also another layer of security added to this, and that was the high-level enchantment spell that altered the perception of the people in the vicinity.

Whatever it is the cult is planning, he thought.

It is big and it is dangerous!

Damn it, just how long have they been at it?!

Suddenly, his eyes gradually widened when he noticed something.

Thanks to activating his Sphere of Resonance, his sensory capabilities were exponentially augmented, and he was able to observe far too many things that an ordinary Magus of similar strength and abilities would never have.

And that is why he was able to notice this.

He took another step forward, brushing his fingers against a certain area of the wall.

The carvings etched in that particular area of the wall looked… fresh.

Almost as if someone had only recently finished carving those strange symbols on the wall!

Adam’s heart turned cold and he sent a mental transmission to Elorywn through Mind Whisper.

‘Who did you say comes here to study the runes?’ Elorywn was momentarily startled when he heard a foreign voice echo inside his mind.

Then, he secretly weaved a hand seal and cast Mind Whisper, replying to Adam.

‘Apart from a few old Magi of the Academy, only the Headmistress seems to spend the most time here.’ He paused for a moment before adding, ‘Right… Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve heard any reports about the Headmistress ever visiting the vampire’s lair at the end of the tunnel.

‘She always spends her time in this black-and-white tunnel, studying these strange esoteric symbols.

This gave rise to some rumors among the faculty of the Academy, my lord.

‘That these strange symbols contain arcane mysteries, and that is why the Headmistress is always studying them whenever she comes here.’ Adam’s expression was ghastly, to say the least.

Headmistress Godfrey?!

He thought in disbelief, No!

That can’t be… I refuse to believe it!

‘How often did you say she comes here?’ He asked Elorywn again, his voice shaky.

Even the portly man could tell that something was wrong when he heard the youth’s voice.

To him, Adam seemed angry… very angry!

Elorywn couldn’t help but gulp nervously as he straightened his back.

‘M-My Lord, she… She comes here once every couple of months!’ Adam remained silent for a long time, his gaze never leaving the fresh markings on the wall.

Whoever it was that carved these symbols recently did their best to hide the fresh markings.

And it would have worked if it were any other Magus, but Adam’s observational capabilities were far too great.

Even more so after he advanced to the Mana Vortex Rank!

No, I can’t just make random guesses based on no evidence, he mused.

‘Does anyone else come to these tunnels?

Any powerful Magus besides the Headmistress?’ He asked mentally.

Elorywn thought deeply for a moment before respectfully answering, ‘No, my lord.

Not to my knowledge, no.’ Adam silently nodded before departing, leaving behind his parting words to echo inside Elorywn’s mind.

‘Alright, that will be all.

If I need anything I’ll call for you.’ Elorywn remained standing on his spot for a long time.

Unbeknownst to him, his back was drenched in a layer of cold sweat after holding a conversation with Adam.

After he made sure that the youth was gone, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

That was taxing, he thought.

His gaze was then drawn to the wall before him.

The man squinted his eyes trying to uncover something-anything.

But he couldn’t.

Just what did the Dark King find for him to become so furious?

He wondered.

… Hannes Lighthouse.

One of the most famous landmarks in the City of Sails, this towering lighthouse stood at the end of a long arm of narrow, rocky land that separated Hannes Harbor from the Misty Sea.

It served as the beacon of hope for sailors and a monument of identity for the residents of Hannes City.

Adam sat on the domed roof of the lantern room situated at the very top of the lighthouse, gazing at the bustling city before him.

He took large mouthfuls of wine from the clay gourd, yet the frown on his face did not ease.

The image of the kind and elderly woman who introduced him and many kids like him to the magical world of mysteries surfaced in his mind.

“Professor Godfrey…” The youth’s lips quivered.

He didn’t want to believe it, but the thought had already taken root inside his mind.

He finished the entire wine and hurled it towards the sea in frustration.

No point jumping to conclusions, I need to first confirm it, he thought to himself, his expression grave.

He cleared the lotus to clear the fog of intoxication covering his mind.

His eyes flashed with a bright light as he slowly closed them.

When he opened them again, he had arrived at the mysterious space within the white lotus!

Surrounded by bright motes of light all around him, Adam felt like he had returned home after a long and tiring journey.

“There is one way to confirm my speculations,” he muttered under his breath.

He turned his head and gazed at a certain orb floating in the distance.

This orb of light radiated a dark and ominous aura… Similar to the aura emitted by the runes in the tunnel!
