Chapter 550 Headquarters

550 Headquarters

After months of travel, Adam had dropped off his three students at the entrance of the secret tunnel that led to Saratoga. After bidding them farewell, he embarked on another journey. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Elrick had sent him a letter, telling him about the coordinates of the Twilight Brotherhood's headquarters in the Ulier Continent!

Although there were several twists and turns, the mission he had been given was successfully accomplished.

Not to mention, Adam had earned the glorious merit of slaying a Rank 3 Magus—an incident that took the Twilight Brotherhood by storm.

He was hailed as a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy!

Not only had he become a Mana Liquefaction Magus at the mere age of twenty, but now he had also defeated a Magus who was one entire rank above him.

Needless to say, every member of this clandestine organization knew the name of Constantine the Tyrant!

The dark clouds churned ominously above the Galestine Ocean as the storm raged in full force. Lightning crackled, illuminating the sky in bright flashes, while thunder rolled like the sound of ancient drums.

Adam sat on Valerian's back as the latter flew through the storm with grace and power. His right arm was covered in red-colored bandages, and so were his eyes. An indication that his injuries still hadn't healed.

He pressed his left hand gently against his familiar's back, sending him a mental transmission, 'Little Val, how are you holding up?'

Valerian proudly roared, his booming voice overpowering the very sound of thunder itself.

'Brother, I am a mighty dragon! This much is nothing for me!'

Adam couldn't help but smile fondly. 'Alright, we're almost there.'

Below, the ocean roared loudly, its waves crashing against one another, sending sprays of saltwater high into the air.

In the distance, their destination gradually came into view.

About a hundred miles off the coast of the Acadian Empire, stood a series of magical cliffs that sprung up from the ocean bed.

They were jagged and foreboding, rising sharply from the waters like the teeth of an ancient creature.

This entire area was considered to be a death zone for ships. The waters here were so dangerous to navigate that any vessel that happened to pass by would mysteriously sink to the bottom.

Adam hopped off of Valerian and walked toward this man. Despite having the bandage covering his eyes, he was able to 'see' everything just fine thanks to his Sphere of Resonance.

He stopped before the man. Then, he touched his forehead with his right index and middle fingers, drawing an arc and placing them above his chest.

"In shadows, we seek wisdom."

The Acolyte's shoulders involuntarily loosened. He slightly bowed and asked, "My Lord, please state your name."

"Adam Constantine," said the youth evenly.

A jolt of electricity crawled down the spines of all the Acolytes present and they involuntarily shuddered.

Only one thought echoed inside their minds.

The Tyrant!

Immediately, all of them knelt down on one knee and loudly and respectfully greeted, "We welcome Agent Constantine!"

Adam nodded his head ever so slightly, walking past them, toward the cave entrance. "Val, follow me!"

ROAR!!

Valerian roared at the top of his lungs, causing all the Acolytes to shudder once again. Then, he transformed into a gray cat and agilely hopped on Adam's shoulder.

As he walked past the countless Acolytes, none of them dared to get on their feet or even look his way.

Such was the might of the Tyrant!

All the members of the Brotherhood were made aware of the Stratford Incident. So how could they not know just how powerful of a Magus Adam was?

Even though he was only a Rank 2 Magus, no one saw him as only a Rank 2 Magus!

As he walked toward the cave entrance, a hooded figure suddenly emerged from within. He glanced at Adam and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Brother Adam, we finally meet!"
