Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe-Chapter 199 Amplify

Lisa was fortunate to have had enough time to recuperate her mana before she was teleported out of the House of Cards. However, no matter how much she had replenished her strength, it would still fall short in front of what fate had in store for her.

After being teleported out, it took her a moment to gather her senses, as did all before her. When she realized that she was standing right in the middle of a group of menacing orcs, her body shuddered in terror.

"Lisa!"

She could hear Edward desperately call out to her from the distance, but she couldn't afford to look in his direction. All her attention was focused on the orcs who were eyeing her with malice.

Lisa's mind worked at a terrifying speed, trying to think of ways to get out of this predicament. A moment later, her expression turned solemn and she slammed the wooden staff she was holding on the ground.

As soon as the staff touched the ground, a bright magic circle lit up underneath Lisa and the group of orcs. Following that, dozens of thick and poisonous vines emerged from the ground.

These thick vines tightly coiled around the orcs, restraining them in place.

Kurdan was greatly surprised at the terrifying speed at which Lisa had cast the spell. But the next moment, when his gaze fell on the unassuming-looking wooden staff in her hands, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.

The spell must have already been engraved onto that weapon. She must've gotten it inside the pyramid.

It was indeed as he had speculated. Along with the restraining spell, there were quite a few other spells that were engraved onto Lisa's staff. She only needed to will it and the spells would materialize.

No spell components were required, making the casting speed near-instant.

Lisa was sure that the spell would hold down the orcs long enough for her to escape. If she was attacked by all of them together, she would most certainly die.

That's why she aimed to escape rather than fight them head-on.

However, she was not aware of the spell that Kurdan had already cast on himself and his fellow orcs.

The thick vines that were supposed to hold down the orcs were effortlessly obliterated by them as if they were made of paper.

Seeing this, Lisa's eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn't even taken a step forward to get out of the orc's encirclement and her spell had already become useless. For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder if the staff in her hand was a dud.

Before she could even cast another spell, the orc nearest to her had already stuck her with a devastating punch to the chest.

When the punch landed on her, Lisa could feel her ribs shattering as she spurted a mouthful of blood. Her body miserably slammed against the ground and she struggled hard to breathe.

The broken ribs seemed to have surprisingly punctured her lungs!

As she clasped her neck and desparingly gasped for air, Kudan glanced at her with sheer indifference and coldly instructed the orc who had just attacked her, "Finish her and retrieve that staff."

"Heh!" The orc in question grinned maliciously. He stood over Lisa and raised his fist once again, aiming to pummel her head this time.

However, before he could even bring his fist down, blue lightning suddenly flashed in his vision, blinding him momentarily.

The next moment, a sharp pang of pain radiated from his shoulder. When his vision returned to normal, he saw that the hand that he had raised was missing and the ghastly wound on his shoulder—where his arm had been missing from—was burnt to a crisp.

In front of him, a black-haired youth with blue eyes and a sturdy build was glaring at him with extreme hatred and anger. "How dare you?!"

Kurdan's eyes narrowed at the speed of this newcomer. He seemed to be as fast as Gorgo, if not faster. Moreover, the human was also very strong to have ripped out the orc's arm despite the latter being under the effects of Alleviation.

The orcs were in a precarious situation now with the involvement of Edward. Not only did they have to deal with him, but they also had to deal with the rest of the Magi who were slowly approaching them.

Not only Kurdan, but the rest of the orcs also realized the threat that Edward posed. Therefore, without the former even having to order them, they all jointly attacked him.

"Bastards, I'll slaughter you all!" Edward growled as he saw the orcs pounce at him.

Seeing Lisa in such a bloody state, he had lost all rationality. He was overcome by unprecedented anger. It didn't matter how many of them attacked him, he was going to slaughter them all.

Just when Edward and the orcs were about to clash against one another, a cold voice drifted into their ears as if it were the edict of a deity.

"Amplify Gravity."

BOOM!

The ground underneath the orcs cracked as the gravity in the area was magnified twofold. The orcs were completely taken off guard by the sudden turn of events. They lost their balance and dropped down to their knees.

Edward was also the same. Not being able to withstand the abrupt increase in gravity, he too fell down. But the worst of them all was Lisa. After being heavily injured by the orc, the wound on her chest was further damaged and she lost consciousness.

The increase in gravity wasn't too great, only double. So the orcs were slowly getting used to it and beginning to get to their feet. And so was Edward.

But suddenly!

A black-robed figure gracefully landed in their midst, seemingly ignoring the gravity.

When Kurdan saw this newcomer, his eyes narrowed. "It's you!"

Adam glanced at him and muttered coldly, "I'll deal with you later."

Then, without casting another glance at the warrior orc, he casually walked toward Edward and Lisa.

The spell he had just cast, Rank 1 Spell: Amplify Gravity, was something he had studied from the research of Mathias the Free.

The gravity in a 10-foot radius sphere around the caster was increased by two times. It was a spell that used a large amount of mana, moreover, it also didn't distinguish between allies and enemies. As could be seen by how Edward and Lisa were also affected by the spell.

Furthermore, the duration of the spell did not exceed ten seconds.

It was a spell mostly used to catch the opponent by surprise or disrupt their actions. That is why Adam didn't plan to engage with the orcs. Not yet anyway. His only goal was to get Edward and Lisa to safety.

Without wasting any time, he grabbed both his friends and prepared to leave.

"Don't you dare leave, you coward!" Gorgo, who was the first one to get to his feet, leaped at Adam with great difficulty.

The youth cast a disdainful glance at Gorgo before running away with Edward and Lisa in his arms. Gorgo ended up clutching nothing but empty air.

Adam's departing words lingered in the orc's ears, making him seethe in absolute fury.

"Be quiet, pigface. I'll be right back."
