Chapter 158 Lucky
As Adam stealthily prepared the spell components for his next spell, he thought to himself, These guys in front of
are detached from the rest of the group… Are they here to hold
down?
The mont this thought flashed through his mind, a plan of action also began to form. The rest of the group of Magi weren't far away—about eighty ters now.
If the youth's speculation was right and this group was indeed involved with Kevin and Jeffrey, then he was going to slaughter them all right here right now. He wouldn't let a single one escape.
However, ti was of the essence!
For Adam's plan to work, he had to deal with the group in front of him very swiftly. So he slightly increased his pace without alerting the other party. And a few monts later, a chance presented itself to him.
"Help!" A beautiful woman ca out of the bushes, looking extrely pitiful. "Please, help ! I'm… I'm being chased by so very bad n!"
The woman's clothes were ripped apart in many places, exposing the large majority of her fair skin. Moreover, heavy wounds and scars littered her body, making her appear strangely alluring.
Adam was first alard by the sudden appearance of this woman, but then his face was riddled with worry and even a hint of lust. He hurriedly approached the woman and asked in concern, "Young Miss, are you alright? Who did this to you?"
The woman was lying on the ground and sobbing incessantly. "I was attacked by a few despicable n. They intend to do horrible things to . You must help ! Please, I beg you!"
Adam was livid. He clenched his fist and spoke furiously. "Who would dare?!"
The woman slowly crawled toward the youth while making sure to expose her ample cleavage. "Young hero, they'll be here any mont. Please… Please you must save ."
Right when she had finished speaking, her lips curled up into a devious smirk and she placed her hand on the ground. Then, a magic circle materialized and following that, half a dozen wines shot off from underneath the ground and coiled around Adam.
Rank 1 Spell: Entwine!
"You!" Adam was shocked. "How could you do this to ?!"
As the vines quickly coiled around Adam's limbs, pinning him on the spot, the injured woman from earlier casually got to her feet and sneered.
"You lustful young n are so easy to deal with."
Then she retreated a few steps back and gave the signal to her group. "Now!"
Following her signal, spells shot out from four directions around Adam. A lightning bolt, a frost ray, an earthen spear, and a poison beam blasted toward Adam who could only helplessly stare at them.
He scread in indignation, "Nooo!!"
BOOM!
The magic spells accurately landed on the youth's body, drowning him in an elental explosion of lightning, ice, earth, and poison.
"Hahaha! That was easy work!"
"I know right?"
"Looks like Lord Kevin was just being paranoid."
Three people stepped out in the clearing while reveling in their victory. Two were youths from the Murphy Academy, while the last one was a middle-aged man who was a subordinate of the Gracie Family.
Having taken care of their target, they approached the woman from earlier who had fooled Adam and immobilized him in place. The middle-aged man grinned. "Your acting's not bad. Hehehe, even I would have been fooled."
The two teenagers from the Murphy Academy also chid in with praises. However, contrary to their expectations, the woman didn't react the way they thought she would.
Instead, she was looking at the spot where Adam was bombarded with spells with a dumbfounded expression.
She pointed her trembling finger at that area and muttered in apprehension, "T-That boy!"
"Huh?" The middle-aged man turned solemn seeing her expression. His hand slowly reached out for his sword as a foreboding feeling welled up in his heart. "What is it, Riya? What did you see?"
Riya's body shuddered and she spoke with disbelief, "I-I don't think he's dead!"
One of the boys from the Murphy Academy, one with handso features and a mole under his right eye, scoffed.
"Not dead? Woman, are you blind? I clearly saw my spell hit his body. What are you even talking about?"
"No!" Riya replied in alarm. She looked around, her eyes flashing with anxiety, trying to look for soone.
She was the closest to Adam, so she had seen everything clearly. The spells had indeed hit Adam's body. But imdiately after, the spells had passed right through his body as if he were nothing but a mirage.
The middle-aged man placed his hand on Riya's shoulder and spoke solemnly, "Calm down. You're not in the right state of—"
Riya was puzzled as to why her partner hadn't completed what he was about to say. However, before she could even inquire, she saw the decapitated head of the middle-aged man roll over to her feet.
She was montarily stunned, but after realizing what had happened, she shrieked in fear. "AAAHHHHH—"
However, her voice was also cut off when an arm pierced through her back and ca out of her chest.
Riya lowered her head and saw a black gauntlet jutting out of her chest. Her heart had been pierced by this hand. She didn't even need to turn around to identify her killer.
She already knew who it was.
With an expression full of regret, the light in her eyes slowly dimd, and she lifelessly fell to the ground.
Adam turned around and coldly looked at the last two people alive. These two youths from the Murrphy Academy were frozen in their spots and were looking at him with absolute terror.
Not a word escaped their lips as they silently saw Adam approach them like the grim reaper. They wanted to move but they couldn't. They wanted to call out for help but they couldn't.
And just like that, under their fear-induced stupor, Adam approached one of the boys and causally swiped his hand horizontally. A thin red line appeared on the boy's neck, following that, his head separated from his neck and fell to the ground.
The last remaining boy saw his friend getting murdered in cold blood and finally snapped back to his senses. He fell to the ground and desperately pleaded. "P-Please! Please, let
go!"
Adam looked at this handso youth from the Murphy Academy in confusion. "Let you go? Are you stupid?"
But suddenly, through his Sphere of Resonance, he sensed that the rest of the group was quickly closing in on him.
He didn't have enough ti!
"Damn it!" Adam cursed under his breath as he turned around and looked into the distance. "They're already here."
He then turned back to look at the student from the Murphy Academy. Adam's eyes narrowed and he muttered, "Count yourself lucky."
