Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 144 Enchantment

Magi were a smart bunch. No matter the situation, they would very seldom be goaded into doing something dangerous. They would always consider matters before coming to a decision.

So then how did the group of imprisoned Magi get so fired up just by a few words from Adam?

The answer to that was naturally magic.

To be more precise, it was magic from the School of Enchantment!

The School of Enchantment was a mysterious branch of magic. The spells from this school could affect the minds of others, influence and even control their behaviors.

After throwing multiple Potions of Explosions outside the village to lure the goblins out, Adam freed the Magi and at the same time, cast two spells on them.

Rank 1 Spell: Persuade.

Rank 1 Spell: Bravery.

The former, as its name suggests, convinces a target to carry out a particular task. There was always a risk of the target refusing to comply, but Adam's spiritual power was many times more than the Magi's. So this spell was easy for him to use.

Whereas, Bravery, also like its name suggests, imbues the target with bravery. With these two spells combined, it was very easy for Adam to manipulate the Magi into fighting the goblins for him.

As the Magi continued to fight in a very conspicuous manner, they started to draw more and more goblins toward them.

Adam watched on from the sidelines. His gaze shifted back and forth between the large hut in the middle of the village and the area where the Magi were fighting the goblins. He was patiently waiting for the right moment to strike.

After another few minutes, the goblins that had rushed outside toward the place where Adam had dropped the Potions of Explosion, had now returned to the village after hearing the sound of fighting.

By now, the Magi had been surrounded by dozens of goblins from all sides. They continued to fight relentlessly no matter how greatly they were outnumbered.

All types of magic spells were cast by the Magi as they reaped the goblins' lives. Meanwhile, the goblins attacked them with arrows from a distance or carried out close-quarter combat while infusing mana into their weapons.

It was a gruesome scene as blood and flesh splattered in all directions. The goblins continued to die in droves, and the Magi continued to be backed into a corner. Moreover, they were all grievously injured.

Seeing this, Adam was becoming impatient. After all, in another minute or so the effects of the spells will have ended. When that happened, the Magi would no longer continue to fight without care for consequences as they were right now.

They would prioritize saving their own lives and fleeing from the village rather than fighting a losing battle. But that wasn't what Adam desired.

He looked at the large hut in the middle with narrowed eyes and muttered, "Still not coming out?"

Then, he took out a few more Potions of Explosions and prepared to throw them. "Fine. Have it your way."

He rushed out from his hiding spot and chucked the vials one after the other. Every Potion of Explosion he threw was from a different place, making it difficult for others to accurately locate him. Moreover, with Hide still activated, he wouldn't be found out that easily anyway.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Loud explosions rang inside the village, causing everyone to be shocked. The battle momentarily stopped as everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the explosions.

However, no one was more shocked than the goblins.

After all, the explosions had all gone off around the large hut in the center. The Magi took advantage of this opening and increased their offensive on the goblins. Brilliant, multi-colored lights flashed as they cast one spell after the other, slaughtering the goblins.

Adam, who had once again hidden himself, intently looked at the hut. Earlier, he made sure to throw the vials around the hut and not directly at it. He didn't want to take a chance, after all.

What if his treasure got damaged?

Seeing that there was still no reaction from the being inside the hut, Adam's eyes turned cold. He knew for a fact that the hut wasn't empty because, through his Sphere of Resonance, he was faintly able to feel a presence inside.

There were too many goblins inside the detection area of his Sphere of Resonance, which is why he could only faintly sense the presence inside the hut. After all, the wider the detection area, the less detailed the feedback.

He took out a few more vials of Potions of Explotions, this time aiming to hurl it directly at the hut. But just when he was about to throw it, he paused.

Because at that moment, the entrance to the large hut smashed open, and a large figure stepped out.

Seeing this, Adam's lips curled up into a smirk. Finally couldn't take it, huh?

ROAARR!!

As soon as this figure stepped out, it bellowed furiously. Its eyes locked on to the Magi who were fighting the goblins in the distance and immediately rushed toward them with a giant sword in hand.

The figure had the features of a goblin, except it was much stronger and smarter. Its height was close to 1.8 meters and the color of its skin was reddish-brown. Unlike the goblins that wore leather armor, this being wore steel armor.

To say that it was armed to the teeth would be an understatement. With great speed, it reached the group of Magi in a matter of moments and then immediately swung its sword.

SLASH!

With a simple slash of the sword, the creature effortlessly managed to slice an elven Magus in half.

Seeing the sudden turn of events, everyone on the battlefield stopped. But the next moment, the goblins cheered in triumph, whereas the Magi lost all hope and fell into despair.

One of the Magi, a human, looked at this newcomer with sheer horror and muttered in fear, "A hobgoblin!"

With another loud bellow, the hobgoblin raised his sword and swung again. This time, however, the Magi were prepared and were able to defend by erecting magical barriers.

The battle between the Magi and the goblinoids became even more brutal with the arrival of the hobgoblin.

Adam, who was witnessing everything from a distance, smiled triumphantly. "Hehe, as I thought, it really was a hobgoblin."

He got up from his hiding spot and made his way toward the hobgoblin's hut, facing no resistance whatsoever. Thinking of his well-crafted plan, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

"You guys take care of the goblins, meanwhile I'll secure the treasure." Adam smirked looking at the Magi battling in the distance. He turned around and then took a step inside the hut.

"Kekeke, I really am a genius—"

But the words got stuck in his mouth because as soon as he stepped foot inside the hut, he was greeted by a punch to the face.

BAM!

Adam flew for a dozen meters and miserably landed on the ground like a rag doll. With an incredulous look on his bloodied face, he looked toward the entrance of the hut and blurted out.

"Another one?!"
