Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 845: Bloodthirsty (Ko-fi Bonus Chapter)

Acadian Empire, Ulier Continent.

Towar was the Empire’s southernmost border stronghold, standing as the first line of defense against the hordes of magical beasts that attacked several times each year.

In addition to these relentless assaults, invasions by orcs, trolls, ogres, and goblins were a frequent threat.

That is why the city was always guarded by at least two Mana Vortex Magi, supported by hundreds of Mana Liquefaction Magi, and an even greater number of Mana Foundation Magi.

In usual times, the Magi stationed here would love spending their time battling monsters and beasts that emerged from the Murky Mountains.

After all, the constant battles tempered them, and the regular usage of spells allowed them to get accustomed to them. This, in turn, helped them smoothly advance to the next rank.

What did it mean to advance through the arcane ranks?

Surely, it didn’t just mean gathering mana from the surroundings, storing it within oneself, and constantly expanding that reserve.

No, it was far more than that.

A Magus, at any given arcane rank, had to deeply comprehend the very essence of their spells, their foundation principles, their application in battle, the way mana flowed through their body and interacted with the world around them.

Only with such understanding could they begin to inch toward the next rank.

Towar, like most other border strongholds, provided the perfect smelting trials for the young Magi of the Empire. The battles with the beasts and monsters honed their skills.

There was always an enthusiastic atmosphere within this stronghold. The people within always itched to fight. If the enemies didn’t come to them, they would set foot in the Murky Mountains and fight.
