543 Divine teor
Five Magi of the Brotherhood continued to destroy the weeping trees and slowly made their way to the town.
After eting up with the refugees, the group was divided into two. One Rank 2 Magus and over a dozen Rank 1 Magi from the Brotherhood led the group of refugees to safety.
anwhile, five Rank 2 Magi dashed toward the town, intending to provide assistance to Adam.
"Brothers, we're almost there!" The lead Magus roared as he destroyed over a dozen weeping trees with a simple spell.
This person was none other than Hudson Carr, the Agent of the Brotherhood who had received Adam when the youth had first arrived at Acryon, the capital of the Acadian Empire.
This damned troubleso kid! Hudson cursed inwardly.
It's only been a little more than a year since he publically executed the Rollins couple in Acryon, and now he's cooked up a storm once again!
When Elrick inford him that he had to lead a group of Magi to Stratford and help Adam who had been stationed there for a mission, Hudson knew that sothing big was going to happen yet again.
This bastard is a calamity magnet! He thought to himself helplessly. I hope he isn't dead...
Hearing the sound of intense fighting coming from up ahead, Hudson knew that he had reached his destination.
His expression turned solemn as he instructed the group of Magi behind him, "Ready your magical components. Prepare for battle!"
As the group erged from the Weeping Woods, suddenly a green light flashed and Yavia arrived before them.
Shocked, she hurriedly made distance.
"Who are you?! What is your business here?" Seeing no insignia on their cloaks that would suggest the organization these Magi belonged to, the little wood spirit couldn't help but feel alard.
"Get out of the way!" Hudson admonished.
"N-No!" Yavia did not relent. "Are you… Adam's friends?"
Hudson was taken aback and asked in a softer tone, "Who are you?"
"There's no ti to explain!" Yavia nervously stated. "Adam has instructed to leave the town imdiately. All of you withdraw! Now!"
Hudson's eyes narrowed, a suspicious light flashing in them. He thought that Yavia was from the enemy's side, preventing them from assisting Adam.
But before he could speak, a blinding white light appeared in the skies above the town!
It was so bright that it completely overshadowed the dark crimson night sky. Yavia, Hudson, and the rest of the Magi were forced to squint their eyes, unable to see clearly.
"This… What is that?!"
"Is that a teor?!"
"It suddenly appeared!"
"No, wait… the mana…"
An extrely overbearing wave of mana radiated from the light in the night sky.
It was powerful!
It was tyrannical!
This group of Magi found themselves involuntarily gasping for air. Yavia looked at the blinding light that continued to blink, disappearing and reappearing, as it flew towards the clouds.
"Adam…" she muttered anxiously.
"What?!" Hudson glanced at her and asked in disbelief, "T-T-That's Adam?!"
Yavia snapped out of her daze and said in an urgent tone, "We need to leave now! Or we'll get caught up in the blast radius!"
Hudson glanced at the brilliant sphere of light in the night sky, incredulously muttering to himself, "Is this really the power of a Rank 2 Magus?!"
…
Inside the illusion, Stratford suddenly felt his skin crawl, his intuition warning him of the danger to co.
But when he looked around and saw a vibrant forest where little, harmless animals frolicked and colorful flowers blood, he couldn't understand just where this sense of danger would co from.
"I feel like… sothing is missing," said the white-haired man.
Leah, who was lying down on the grass beside him, looked at him and asked, "What more do you need?"
The man looked at her and smiled while stroking her silky, blonde hair. "Nothing, my love. As long as you're with , why would I ever need anything else?"
"Tell , Stratford." Leah's lips curled up into a faint smile. "A lifeti of pain and misery, all for what? Aren't you happy now?"
Stratford's expression turned complicated. "I am, but…"
22:47
"But what?" Leah pressed.
"I love you… but I also love magic," said the man. "I guess you could say magic is my first love."
Leah asked softly, "If you had to choose between and magic, whom would you choose?"
Stratford fell into deep silence, the nagging feeling of the impending doom intensifying inside his mind.
What's happening? Why is she asking this? It is unlike her... Why do I feel this way? He thought in alarm.
He was snapped out of his daze when Leah called out, "Answer , my love."
Stratford looked into her erald eyes and smiled dotingly. "I guess… I would choose you."
"Good." Leah rested her head on the man's chest. "Let it go. Embrace it."
"Let what go? Embrace what?" Stratford asked in confusion.
Leah's lips curled up into a mischievous smirk and she whispered.
"Embrace the Divine teor!"
…
A brilliant streak of light tore through the night sky, a blazing cot that outshone the very stars. It moved with unbridled power, leaving behind a trail of blinding, white light.
Ti seed to slow down as the atmosphere humd with tyrannical otherworldy energy.
The ground trembled with anticipation, the earth itself seemingly holding its breath as the teor descended.
Seeing the ground enlarging in his vision and Stratford still standing in a daze, lost inside the illusion he had weaved, Adam's lips curled up into a devilish grin.
Hand of Doom: Divine teor!!
BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
It was like the roar of a thousand storms!
The earth quaked as Adam hurled toward the ground!
Inevitable!
Unstoppable!
He slamd right into Stratford with a deafening explosion, a cataclysmic force that seed to tear the very fabric of reality itself.
The ground buckled and split, great fissures tearing through the streets as the shockwave rippled outward. Buildings crumbled as if they were made of sand.
A massive cloud of dust and ash erupted from the point of impact, billowing into the night sky like a monstrous mushroom cloud.
The force of the impact sent shockwaves in all directions, destroying the ground and uprooting the weeping trees in the vicinity.
It was as if nature itself was recoiling from the pain.
Yavia, Hudson, and the rest of the Magi had flown away just from the shockwaves of Adam's attacks. When they made it back to the clearing, they were thunderstruck by what they saw.
The land where the town of Stratford earlier used to be had now caved in, creating an enormous crater.
The town that stood so proudly beneath the stars for centuries now lay in ruin.
And in the center of the crater lay the fresh corpse of the Rank 3 Magus, Stratford!
Because of the devastating attack, only the werewolf's upper body remained. Although it was barely recognizable.
A bloodied figure stood victoriously beside the corpse, a tyrannical aura exuding from him that distorted the very air around him!
When the group of Magi laid eyes on this domineering figure, they felt goosebumps all over their body.
This scene would forever be ingrained in the mories of those present here.
In the history books of the Twilight Brotherhood, a new entry would be recorded:
That on the day that Selene and Luna turned crimson, the Rank 2 Magus, Adam Constantine, erged victorious in the battle against the Rank 3 Magus, Stratford!
An unprecedented feat that would be revered by generations of those who would go on to join the Brotherhood.
On the night of the blood moons, a new legend was born.
His na was…
Constantine the Tyrant!
