Chapter 535: Epiphany

Chapter 535: Epiphany



Wolfsbane shared a deep connection with werewolves since time immemorial.

Its origins could be traced back to ancient times when the magical civilization was still in its nascent stages.

In the olden days, wolfsbane was used as a potent herb capable of warding off wild animals, particularly wolves.

The plant's toxic properties were well-known at the time, and it was even used to poison the tips of arrows and bait traps.

Over time, Magi experimented with this herb and developed a highly lethal form of poison that could be used as a defense against werewolves.

Wolfsbane infused with mana was said to bloom under the light of the full moon. It was also rumored that this poison was most deathly on a full moon night.

Of course, it was still a rumor and nothing was ever confirmed. But it put Adam at ease that Tron just so happened to have two moons.

Furthermore, it was also the night of the full moons. More precisely, it was the night of the blood moons!

Seeing the look of sheer horror displayed in Stratford's eyes, the grin on Adam's face widened. "Indeed, this is wolfsbane."

"How did you get your hands on this?!" Stratford roared. "I was sure I had removed all traces of this accursed poison from this continent!"

Adam scoffed mockingly, "Look at you, a mighty Mana Vortex Magus acting like a weak, little rat just because you got poisoned. Do you think Ulier is the only continent that exists?"

The frown on Stratford's face deepened. The next moment, he willed the wound on his chest to heal. But much to his surprise, he found that the wolfsbane inside his system refused to be flushed out.

This wolfsbane is far more potent than the ones I've come across, he thought in alarm.

I can also feel otherworldly energy coming from it. This energy...

It's from the Spirit World!!

Stratford glanced at the gauntlets that Adam was wearing and thought, Those weapons are made out of extraordinary materials. The energy radiating from them... also belongs to the Spirit World!

"Where did you get those gauntlets?" He asked in a grim tone.

Adam replied with a taunting grin, "This? Your mother gave them to me. She told me to give you a good beating with it if you misbehaved."

Stratford's face darkened and a dangerous aura surrounded him. He weaved a simple hand gesture as he coldly muttered, "You have no respect for your seniors. I will tear you apart and drink your blood, damned brat!"

It was an extremely rare and important event for a Magus to enter this mysterious state of clarity where their understanding of magic deepened.

The only other time that Adam had had an epiphany was during the war against the orcs back in the Southern Federation.

Realizing the vulnerable state Adam was in right now, Stratford's lips curled up into a

malevolent grin.

"To be able to teleport consequitively in that state, you truly are a genius. But this state you're in will be your undoing."

The next moment, he made a mental calculation of where Adam would appear next. He then cancelled his spell and dashed in that direction.

BAM!

His enormous claw accurately grabbed Adam's head as the latter teleported out of the Spirit

World, covered in gray smoke.

"Got you!" Stratford grinned sinisterly.

But suddenly he was taken aback. He noticed that Adam was still in a state of trance!

"Even better," said the werewold as he tightened the grip around the youth's skull.

BOOM!

A Fireball slammed his face, but immediately after, the spell dissipated with a simple wave of

Stratfrod's hand.

"Let him go," said Gore standing in the distance.

Stratford glanced at him and coldly replied, "I'll deal with you later."

With that said, he crouched low and exerted great strength in his legs. Then, with a resounding sound that shattered the ground beneath him, he jumped into the air, instantly scaling hundreds of meters.

Just as he reached the peak of his jump, the werewolf imbued mana into his hand that was gripping Adam's skull.

Then, he used all his might and hurled the youth toward the ground, sending him to his death!
