Chapter 538 Reinforcements

538 Reinforcements

After Adam had disappeared from the spot, bringing Stratford along with him, silence resumed in the Weeping Woods.

It wasn't until the weeping trees had begun howling again that everyone snapped back to their senses, completely thunderstruck by what had just transpired before them.

Needless to say, the townsfolk were the most shocked by the arrival of Stratford.

More precisely, they were astounded to learn that the ancestor whom they had revered for almost all their lives was, in fact, an ancient werewolf who did not care about them at all.

Many of them dropped to the ground, their eyes tearing up as they drowned in denial. While a few of them looked for a way out of the mess they found themselves in.

However, seeing the weeping trees still surrounding them caused them to feel utterly helpless.

Rayna, who was standing right beside Kenley, glanced at the spot where Adam and Stratford had just disappeared.

She suddenly came to a realization and muttered softly, "Our ancestor... No, I mean that monster said that we have his blood running in our veins, but not his venom...

"Could it be the potion that Lord Constantine made me drink was actually an antidote that counteracted the venom?"

Kenley looked at her and nodded. "Indeed. If Lord Constantine hadn't given you as well as the rest of these people here that antidote, you all would have turned into abominations."

Rayna gasped in astonishment, her body involuntarily shuddering in horror.

She couldn't even begin to imagine just what kind of person would inject poison into their descendants' bodies for their selfish objectives.

Were we nothing but pawns in his eyes, she thought in despair.

Aiden's eyes were filled with shock as well as excitement as he exclaimed, "Did you see?! Did you see how Professor fought with that werewolf?! A-Amazing! So that is Professor's true combat strength? A Magus who can fight Magi higher-ranked than him?!"

"More importantly, did you see how he teleported?!" Art chimed in. "He was able to cast that spell without using any magical components! How was he even able to do that? His teleportation spell was also instantaneous... he just kept blinking around the place!"

While Adam's two students were lost in being fascinated by their mentor's skills, Eleiney thought of something very crucial.

The townsfolk erupted in a frenzy. So many bad things had happened to them on this night that they couldn't help but think that they were once again in danger.

"This..." Eleiney looked at all the frozen trees in shock. "Could the reinforcements that Professor spoke about have already arrived?!"

THUNDER!

Suddenly, a sea of yellow-colored lightning emerged from the horizon. It swept through all the frozen weeping trees, destroying them into pieces.

When the lightning attack approached the large group, it magically separated and went around them, annihilating all the trees behind them.

The Magi standing at the forefront were shocked by this sudden turn of events. They couldn't help but wonder just who it was that could utilize magical spells to such frightening accuracy.

It didn't take long for the people responsible for the spell to appear before the group.

Amidst the frozen rubble and splintered wood, a group of Magi wearing dark, hooded cloaks emerged. They stood right before Adam's squad members, silently observing them.

Six people stood at the forefront of this group, the energy waves radiating from them clearly indicated that they were Rank 2 Magi! And behind them stood over a dozen Rank 1 Magi!

Such a force was more than enough to take down a Rank 3 Magus!

"A-Are you guys... the reinforcement Professor spoke of?" Art asked nervously.

The momentum with which this group had arrived caused his back to be drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but become anxious.

"Professor?" Asked one of the hooded figures. "Is your Professor perhaps Magus Adam Constantine?"

Before Art or any of Adam's students could reply, Kenley and Wagner hurriedly ran toward the group and knelt down before them on one knee.

They covertly displayed their Twilight Medallions and respectfully said, "We humbly greet you, My Lords!"

Gazing at the crescent moon and the three five-pointed stars carved on the medallions, the hooded figure from before nodded. "Ah, I see. You both must be the Acolytes stationed at Stratford."

He paused for a moment before asking, "Now tell me, where is Brother Adam?"
