That would change the entire flow of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, usually, she wouldn’t be bothered if a few lives, especially those of mortals, were lost during battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Rowan was different. He was fiercely loyal to Adam, and Anna had also come to like him in the weeks she spent in Ravenfell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more importantly… there were children with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her conscience couldn’t possibly allow her to stand by and accept the death of innocent little kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought, her heart gripped by tension as she gazed at the shadowy pass wedged between the towering cliffs of the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can only hope there are no other enemies around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was certainly risky for Rowan and his family to escape through the narrow pass. But it was a risk worth taking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, remaining near the battlefield would almost certainly lead to their deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least the pass offered a sliver of hope… a chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly turning her attention back to the battle in front, she noticed the stone golem standing tall before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it had been mostly destroyed as a result of the devastating Rank 3 spell. But it had served its purpose and saved them from impending doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, Hayes Ballard’s furious voice was heard across the battlefield, “You filthy vermins sure have a lot of artifacts on you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daryl rose to the ground, his eyes flashing with indignation. It would appear that he was really mad at the loss of his artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone golem was on the verge of collapsing. There was no way it would be able to tank another Rank 3 spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was only one thing left to do…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get ready, you too,” he muttered under his breath as he weaved a series of hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he thrust his palms towards the stone golem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank 2 Spell: Rain of Rocks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone golem crumbled into dozens of spherical orbs, each enveloped in brilliant magic circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the orbs shot towards Ballard with terrifying speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Petty tricks!” Hayes Ballard sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He weaved a set of simple hand seals, and a mana barrier materialized before him, effortlessly stopping Daryl’s spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Using your golem as material components, and this is all you could muster?” Ballard’s lips curled into a condescending smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he watched the Rain of Rocks shattering upon coming in contact with his barrier, he grinned. “It is futile. No matter what you do, it is all—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, the smirk on his face vanished when he suddenly sensed an immense threat to his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils constricted as he felt a wave of burning heat and icy chill rushing towards him from both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! Did the other two use Grade 3 concealment artifacts? he thought to himself in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t enough time to evade both attacks. So he was forced to choose the lesser of the two, the one that wouldn’t cost him his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having come to that decision, he immediately crouched low, channeling all his strength into his legs and launching himself backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that precise moment, Anna’s flaming sword, brimming with murderous intent, slashed through the air above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Ballard hesitated for even a heartbeat, his head would have been severed by what he suspected was a Grade 3 artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowly evaded the first attack… but not the second one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold gleam flashed in Ada’s blue eyes as she rushed forward, twin ice daggers in hand. With a ruthless swing, she slashed at Ballard’s right foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed out of his ankle as the proud son of the Ballard Family hurriedly retreated, making enough distance from the trio whom he had so severely underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had far too many Grade 3 artifacts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him wonder, just what kind of powerful and wealthy background did these people come from, to be armed with so many high-grade artifacts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The identical silver bracelets around Anna and Ada’s wrists shimmered with mana, and in the next instant, their figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One brandished a flaming sword, the other gripped twin daggers wreathed in ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ballard had speculated, the women were indeed in possession of Grade 3 artifacts capable of concealing their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the entire fight, the three Mana Liquefaction Magi could be said to have held the upper hand against Hayes Ballard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, their faces were pale and drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using grade 3 artifacts came at a price. Channeling such powerful tools required a tremendous amount of mana, far beyond what they could sustain for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio regrouped and got into a triangle formation once again, vigilantly eyeing their enemy from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayes Ballard, on the other hand, had an extremely vicious expression on his face. He was crouching on the ground and pouring a Potion of Healing on his injured ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will make you wish you were fuckin’ dead!” He screamed, glaring at the trio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was secretly very cautious of them. Despite the three of them looking weakened from excessive mana consumption, he didn’t immediately attack them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could say what other hidden trump cards these three Magi still had in their possession?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping his murderous gaze still locked onto the trio, he turned his head towards the crooked cultist and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Zashi! Recall your undead!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those few words caused Anna’s heart to sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not… summon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the entire outcome of the battle had drastically changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zashi, the crooked cultist, took cover within the dome made of countless bones as it withstood the bombardment of two Great Fire Balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he and Hayes Ballard chose to ambush Anna and her entourage, he had already summoned two undead creatures and sent them to scout the area once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still suspected that, after attacking the carriage and getting drawn into the battle, unknown enemies might suddenly appear and trap them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he had dispatched his undead creatures to search for any unseen threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheltered within the dome of bones, Zashi closed his eyes, focusing as he received sensory feedback from his undead creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, his lips curled into a malevolent grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no hidden enemies within hundreds of meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What trap?” the crooked old man snickered. “There’s no one else here at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he gave the command for his two undead creatures to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing several meters away from the dome of bones, Kasper York wore an extremely ugly expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he heard Hayes Ballard’s shouted warning, he instantly understood that his opponent had summoned undead creatures well before the battle had even begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was… where were they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as if answering his thoughts, a towering figure clad in dark, weathered armor charged towards him from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kasper immediately sensed the dense, deathly mana radiating from the figure, and his expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no mistaking it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an undead creature with strength on par with a Mana Vortex Magus!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was just one undead creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were there more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where were they?\u003C\u002Fp>",1231,"2026-05-29T04:45:01.800Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","cf5a2c3a7698789e73fd85e2f1e7b7839b2cf5bd6ce22b1cce97cdb2ba1b0890","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-919","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-917",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
