Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universechapter 181: anticipation

The group of orcs were stunned by Adam's speed. All of them were Neural Stage Magi, so as a result, their eyesights were greatly enhanced.

Despite that, they were unable to see through the youth's movements!

But so what?

Having the puny human look down on them so arrogantly really struck their nerves. At once, the orcs brandished their weapons and angrily hurled insults and were ready to attack any moment now.

"Human trash!"

"You dare look down on us?!"

"I'll rip your damn throat!"

Adam didn't reply to them. Instead, he stood there with his arms crossed and made an extremely condescending face that screamed 'You want some? Come get some!'

Seeing his expression, the orcs were livid. They were about to charge at him when suddenly, the leader of the group, Kurdan, stopped them in their tracks. "I forbid you to engage him in battle."

"But, leader, look what he did to Gorgo!"

"How can we let him go just like that?"

"Besides, he's just one person."

Kurdan instantly put an end to this discussion by releasing his mana, putting the orcs under such pressure that they couldn't help but take a step back.

His cold gaze fell on each one of them and he flatly muttered, "That is an order."

As the orcs reluctantly sheathed back their weapons, Kurdan glanced at Gorgo and then finally at Adam. "Thank you for going easy on him."

Once again, Adam was taken by surprise. He couldn't help but think to himself, He's quite coolheaded for an orc. I thought they were all barbarians.

He replied with a shrug, "Eh, no problem. I don't like to kill unnecessarily."

Kurdan deeply looked at the human youth and then nodded. "We will be taking a different route to the pyramid."

He then glanced at another orc and instructed him to carry the unconscious Gorgo. The group of orcs then turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Kurdan turned back around and asked, "What is your name, human?"

"Adam."

Kurdan nodded. "The next time we meet, it won't be this peaceful. I shall look forward to it, Adam."

With that said, he turned around and led the group of orcs away. Adam stared at Kurdan's departing back for a very long time.

In the end, he chuckled. "What a strange guy."

THWOCK!

A mana-infused arrow shot right through a man's head who was just about to sneak attack Daneli from behind.

window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})The elven youth removed the scimitar that he had stabbed through a Magus' chest and turned around to see a Magus shot in the head with an arrow. He knew it was Atiel's doing.

He looked over in the distance to find his twin sister sitting atop a tree, bow in hand. Their gazes met and they nodded at each other.

Daneli turned back around and looked at the bloodbath they had just gone through. They were outnumbered ten to four, but despite the odds, they managed to come out victorious.

And the main reason for that was one person and one person only.

The elven youth gazed at Edward who was throwing the corpse of the last Magus he had just killed. Out of the ten Magi their group had fought, Edward had taken care of half of them all by himself.

Daneli was stunned to see such fighting skills displayed by him. Earlier, the elven youth had never paid much attention to him, but now he couldn't help but come to admire him.

In the world of Magi, strength was respected by all.

The four of them soon regrouped after having gone through an arduous battle. Atiel looked at everyone and spoke in slight shock, "That was… easier than I thought?"

Daneli nodded. "It indeed was."

The twins subconsciously glanced at Edward. To say that they were impressed by this youth would be a severe understatement.

Lisa looked at him and smiled. "Thanks for taking care of most of them. Otherwise, it would have been a lot harder for us."

She then glanced at the twins and was full of praise. "You guys' coordinated attack was amazing—"

Suddenly, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the direction of the forest. Thinking that it was yet another enemy attack, the four of them instantly turned vigilant and got ready to fight.

But when they looked in the direction of the forest, they were flabbergasted. It wasn't an enemy at all.

Valerian ran toward them, taking tiny steps. He growled menacingly at the four, but all that did was melt their hearts.

"Val!" A bright smile bloomed on Lisa's face. She ran toward the young dragon cheerfully. She knelt on the ground and welcomed him with open arms.

"Myu!" Valerian jumped into her arms and then started to lick her cheeks fondly.

The next moment, the little guy caught sight of Edward approaching. Seeing him, Valerian got very excited. He quickly ran away from Lisa and agilely climbed Edward.

"Myuuu!" The young dragon put his arms around Edward's neck and hugged him with eyes tight shut.

"Hahaha!" Edward gently patted Valerian's back and smiled warmly. "Did you miss me, Little Val?"

"Myu~" Valerian nodded cutely. Out of all of Adam's friends, he was the closest to Edward.

After all, Edward and Adam spent most of their time together, so naturally Valerian too had gotten very attached to the blue-

eyed boy.

"By the way, where's that guy?" Edward asked curiously, his tone laced with a hint of excitement.

Valerian opened his eyes and then pointed in the distance. "Myu!"

The four kids turned their heads in the direction the little guy was pointing toward. There, they saw a lone figure slowly walking out of the forest.

He was wearing a crude, black cloak and was walking with his arms clasped behind his back, and a faint smile adorning his face.

Seeing this familiar person approaching them, the four of them couldn't help but be filled with anticipation, especially Edward and Lisa. After all, they had been away from each other for close to a year now.

But their expression gradually darkened as Adam came closer and closer. Until finally, their jaws dropped and they screamed in unison.

"Who the hell are you?!"
