He knew that the upcoming battle would be unlike anything he’d ever participated in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, he’d be excited to participate in such battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had this vague feeling that something terrible would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking another deep breath, he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Anna won’t be in Ravenfell, he thought, relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of his sister, he slowly opened his eyes and shifted his attention to the items on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were several Grade 3 magical ingredients, a couple of small discs, a rune carver, and finally, at the center of it all, a clump of his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then cast a series of complex hand seals, causing the strands of his hair to levitate in the air and coalesce into one thick strand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing the rune carver from the table, he began inscribing mysterious symbols on the strand of hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These runes consisted of the model component for a Rank 3 summoning spell. Moreover, he was also carving characters from snaketongue on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final product, which would function no differently than a Grade 3 artifact, would allow a small army of serpents to be summoned from the Coil even in his absence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this required him to infuse a substantial amount of his mana into it in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, there also needed to be a trigger to activate this strand of hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam set the trigger to blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the strand of hair was dyed in blood, it would activate instantly, opening a portal to the Coil of Eternity and summoning magical creatures from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also added a secondary condition: if even one strand was activated, the other would respond almost simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ensured that the recipients would be safe, given that they would be traveling together the following day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the two strands of raven-black hair lying on the table before him, Adam’s expression was grim as he thought of another crucial possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Anna or Rowan are killed before these artifacts are even activated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the activation trigger was the strand being drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if they died before the hair even touched it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That unsettling possibility gnawed at Adam’s mind. He knew he couldn’t rely on a single safeguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And considering that he was in a situation where it was difficult for him to trust others with the safety of his sister, he could only rely on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was only so much he could do all by himself. If he were to personally escort Anna, then it wouldn’t have been a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he knew that going together with Anna would only invite more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to stay within the city. No, in fact, he had to blatantly show his presence in the city so that his enemies knew exactly where he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about Anna?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already created this ingenious piece of artifact that would help her and her entourage, but he needed something more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the divination point to this method? He thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this was a huge gamble, he needed to be absolutely certain that he was going to come out on top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, he even needed a lot of luck to be able to pull this off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s eyes trembled, and he abruptly shot to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luck! That’s it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he could work with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes… yes, this can definitely work, he thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started pacing around the room, thinking back to the time when he had used a spell rooted in the elusive domain of fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was back in Stratford—now known as Constantine. He had used a spell that bestowed luck upon himself and helped him tip the scales of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the downside…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to sacrifice years of his lifespan as the price!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Worth it! Definitely worth it!” Adam muttered under his breath as he continued to pace back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this while, he had been thinking how to deceive his enemies. But the answer had been right in front of him. The answer had been as elusive as… luck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, people did not wish to dabble with spells that were rooted in abstract domains such as fate, fortune, misfortune, etc, because the risks far outweighed the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason why such spells were considered forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his case, it was definitely worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s a few years? No, even a few dozen years if it means Anna gets to safely leave this forsaken place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s lips curled into a grin. He turned his head, his gaze landing on the small, circular disc on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, I’ll inscribe it on that and bestow luck on everyone leaving tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many years I have to sacrifice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked back to the table, took a seat, and began inscribing the model component on the circular disk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he had already used the white lotus to perform several divinations, trying to find the best possible method for Anna to safely leave Ravenfell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divinations didn’t reveal the future to him. They unveiled possibilities, offering glimpses into which of his plans had the highest chance of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he was going to face off against Mana Vortex Magi and most likely even Mana Core Magi in the upcoming battle of wits the following day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also knew that they won’t hesitate to attack Anna, or worse, kidnap her to hold leverage over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite all of this, he was resolute in sending Anna away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, after performing countless divinations enhanced by the white lotus, he had found a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best way to defeat a smart opponent was often not through complex schemes or convoluted traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, they were too used to sniffing those out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most effective method was to present them with something so simple, so painfully obvious, that their own intelligence would work against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to give them a bait wrapped in simplicity and watch as they overthought it into something far more intricate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would doubt the straightforward approach, assuming it must be a distraction, a trap! In doing so, they’d walk right into the very scenario that was wanted of them, second-guessing themselves until it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because when you’re playing against someone smart, the greatest trick is making them believe you’re playing dumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bluff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I realize why this method showed the most promising outcome out of all the divinations I had performed, Adam thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was a little pale as if vitality had been drained off of him. But his eyes blazed with brilliance as he gazed at the small circular disk that glowed with a light golden tint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because my divination had already taken into account that I’d be casting this forbidden spell at the last stage of my planning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank 3 Spell: Kiss of Fortune!\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-05-29T04:45:01.800Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.309Z",1,"novelbin.me","497b5f785b020d1ae26c4c2448880dfc9ddece735cdead173501fa7a3fb31c8a","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-929","greatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-chapter-927",1765,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreatest-legacy-of-the-magus-universe-cover.jpg"]
