Essentially, what the man had done was effectively seal his presence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a very ingenious way of using sealing magic that belonged to the School of Warding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s eyebrows furrowed together when he realized that he still couldn’t sense the man’s presence despite the latter being right before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fascinating!” he couldn’t help but exclaim. “My Lord, are you using sealing magic as we speak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly Magus succinctly replied. “Always.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, he walked towards Adam—to be more precise, he walked towards the covered-up pit that contained the anchor point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stood beside Adam and silently observed the runes, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of earth and landing underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the man was observing the runic formation, Adam was observing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he is the Old Man’s mentor? He wondered in quiet curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man appeared impossibly old, his skin thin and pale like parchment stretched over bones and muscles, etched with deep lines of countless years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silvery-white hair crowned his head. His eyes, though sunken, held a timeless intelligence, as if they had seen the rise and fall of nations and grown weary of both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eldery man was draped in flowing robes of indigo and gold. He carried himself with a posture so upright and composed it defied his fragile frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his frailty, an aura of authority surrounded him. Dignified, detached, and untouchable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not command the surroundings, the surroundings yielded to his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was something else…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam squinted his eyes as he tried to identify this feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the old man’s body seemed withered by time, there was an undeniable weight to his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam recalled his movements just now. They were slow and deliberate, yet they carried the stillness of someone who had long ago transcended haste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing right beside him, Adam could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could… see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around him felt thinner, heavier, as if space itself bent slightly in deference!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the untrained eye, he appeared frail. Perhaps, even near death. But to someone with a keen perception like Adam, that illusion shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the raven-haired youth finally knew, and his eyes trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the surface of this seemingly week elderly man, lay a force so vast, so tightly coiled, it was terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old. Absolute. Boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man didn’t flaunt his strength. He didn’t need to. The world simply knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the peak of magic in Tron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was… the Mana Core Rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of sweat trickled down the side of Adam’s forehead, and he found his lips curling into a faint, nervous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Old Man’s mentor? A Mana Core Magus! He thought incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed his right hand over his chest and then went down on one knee. “I beg your forgiveness for my earlier impudence, my lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly Magus turned towards him, glancing at him with emotionless eyes. Then, he let out a light snort before turning his attention back towards the runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the slight snort caused Adam’s back to be drenched in a layer of cold sweat. In that moment, he felt his heart sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nervous smile on his face deepened, and he thought, As expected of a Mana Core Magus…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Adam had met a Magus far stronger than the one standing before him, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t display proper etiquette. Magi respected strength above all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have never imagined the Old Man’s background to be so deep, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Mana Core Magus as a mentor… That’s…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rise.” The elderly man’s word drifted into his ears, jolting him out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Adam immediately rose to his feet, his back straight as an arrow. He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly in this man’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something about the old man’s aura and the way he carried himself. It made Adam want to lower his head. Such a realization truly shocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just what kind of station does he hold for him to have such an aura? He thought incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that the elderly man sat at the Council of Dawn, the true leadership of the Twilight Brotherhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then that would mean he is the leader of the Preservationist faction, Adam mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, there were also rumors about this faction’s leader being extremely old, with one foot in the grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Old Man is part of this faction. It would make sense for him to be in the same faction as his mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did you learn such profound rune magic, boy?” Asked the aged man, his gaze still glued to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most of my knowledge comes from the books I’ve borrowed from the Brotherhood,” Adam answered truthfully. He didn’t dare to lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rest come from inheritances I’ve found during my travels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knowledge about such a runic formation doesn’t exist in the Brotherhood,” the aged man said matter-of-factly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, he turned towards Adam, gazing at him with narrowed eyes. “It would appear that you have come across quite the inheritance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam forced a smile. “I, uh… I was fortunate, my lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.” The old man turned his attention back to the pit, seemingly studying the runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t ask any more about the inheritance. As a Magus who stood at the peak of the arcane arts in this world, he knew better than most that every Magus had secrets and trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Magus who prided himself on righteousness, it would be beneath him to press Adam further on the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did find this runic formation very fascinating, however.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Adam had speculated, the elderly Magus was indeed the leader of the Preservationist faction, who believed that the preservation of history, knowledge, and artifacts was critical to maintain balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, the aged man finally turned to Adam and spoke in a flat, unyielding voice, “You will share the knowledge of this runic formation with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s lips twitched. Isn’t that a little rude of you? He thought awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could respond, the old man spoke again. Like earlier, his words were a direct order that one simply could not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was just as firm, just as final.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In return, I will teach you my sealing magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3\u002F4 Bonus chapters complete!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>discord.gg\u002Fw4vACWwfSv ko-fi.com\u002Fesenel\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-05-29T04:45:00.116Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","58affdf9ac9235d7b3cbdfc6ce010a8500663df3b975cb67e86a73ef80ff5b4d","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-826","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-824",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
