Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 848: Insidious Plot

Of course, it made complete sense that Rank 4 beings resided in the heart of the Murky Mountains.

It was a primal stretch of land untouched by Magi for thousands of years, after all.

None of the powerful Magi of the four major races dared to set foot inside, and none of the powerful magical beasts bothered to descend the mountains.

Firstly, the Murky Mountains provided these magical beasts with the perfect habitat. Moreover, they had enough resources to sustain themselves for their entire lifetime.

Secondly, and most importantly, it just didn’t make sense for the powerful magical beasts to set foot into the lands governed by the humanoid species when the Murky Mountains provided them with everything they needed.

Thus, over the centuries, a tacit agreement had formed between the Mana Core Magi and the magical beasts of similar strength residing in the Murky Mountains.

One thing that Adam had noticed while venturing through the Murky Mountains was that only magical beasts had advanced to the station of the Mana Core Rank.

Meaning, ogres, orcs, trolls, and goblins were always at strength equivalent to the Mana Vortex Rank or lower.

Goblins were worse off, as he had never seen a hobgoblin stronger than a Mana Liquefaction Magus.
