Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 200 Stitching

As soon as Adam left, so did the sphere of gravity and subsequently the pressure on everyone. Gorgo was about to chase after him but was immediately stopped by Kurdan.

"Now is not the time."

"What?!" Gorgo turned around to look at Kurdan and roared, "Why the hell not?"

The orc had not forgotten how greatly Adam had humiliated him in front of all the other orcs in the team before they entered the House of Cards. That was perhaps one of the, if not the biggest dishonor of his life.

He would never forgive Adam for that, but more importantly, he could never forgive himself for even being so weak and pathetic so as to easily be done in by Adam with a single attack.

Because of this disgrace he felt at the hands of Adam, he vigorously trained inside the House of Cards and tempered his fighting prowess. Moreover, with the weapon he had acquired, he was sure he would defeat Adam if he faced him again.

So now when he saw Adam in front of him, he couldn't wait to separate his head from the rest of his body.

However, being obstructed by Kurdan truly struck a nerve and he couldn't help but lash out at him.

"Control your emotions," Kurdan sternly commanded.

Seeing his leader act so solemnly, Gorgo buried the anger in his heart and remained silent.

"Look around you," Kurdan continued, "we must take care of these Magi first before making our way out of this place."

Gorgo looked around and saw that the Magi had all banded together and had completely surrounded them. It seemed that a bloody battle was inevitable.

Realizing this, he calmed down. That's right. We'll first take care of these pests and then I'll deal with that bastard.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Kurdan loudly instructed. He then looked at the orc who had attacked Lisa, and asked in slight concern, "Can you fight?"

"Hahaha!" The orc laughed out loud. "Leader, don't worry about me. It's just an arm."

"Good." Kurdan nodded. Then, he glanced at the rest of his teammates and roared. "Fight!"

The crimson auras of the orcs flared up as they charged in different directions and started attacking the Magi.

They were very strong physically to begin with. Now, with the effects of Alleviation, it was as if they had grown a pair of wings.

Any attack on them was easily brushed off. Any Magi that came their way was easily killed.

Their mission given to them by their chief was not just to retrieve that 'item' from the House of Cards, but also to get rid of as many Magi of the four major races as possible.

After all, the young and budding Rank 1 Magi inside the secret plane could be considered to be the future cornerstones of their respective organizations and races.

Dealing with them while they were still young and weak was a smart but ruthless move by the orcs who aimed to occupy the lands of the Southern Federation in the future!

Colorful and devastating spells bloomed one after the other as the orcs engaged with the Magi. As blood splattered across the battlefield, Adam nimbly made his way toward the forest in the distance.

The Magi who saw him pass by did nothing. Not because they chose to, but because they were unable to.

Adam's speed was simply too quick. All they saw was a shadowy blur, followed by a strong gust of wind brushing against them. Before they even realized it, the youth had already left them in the dust.

After about half a minute, the youth was finally able to traverse his way through the crowd and reach the tall tree where Daneli and Atiel were waiting for them in trepidation.

Adam dropped Edward to the ground without a care in the world. But the latter didn't care. He anxiously looked at Lisa in Adam's arms and asked in apprehension, "How is she? Is she going to be alright?"

Ignoring his friend's questions, Adam gently lay Lisa on the ground. The girl's upper garments were stained with blood. From the way how labored her breathing had become, Adam couldn't help but turn solemn.

He first took out a healing potion from his earring and fed half of it to her, then poured the rest of it on her chest. He took out another one and did the same.

The wound on her chest sizzled and started to emit steam. Although the flesh healed rapidly, the same couldn't be said about her ribs. Moreover, Lisa's breathing didn't seem to improve at all. The healing process had only been done at a superficial level.

Adam injected mana into her body to do a thorough scan. A few moments later, he couldn't help but deeply frown.

"What is it?" Edward's heart sank when he saw Adam's expression. Atiel and Daneli anxiously waited to hear his reply as well.

"That attack from the orc has severely damaged her ribs," Adam began. "Four of them are broken and have punctured her lungs. This is why she's having so much difficulty breathing."

He paused for a moment and then awkwardly added, "And, uh, you see, my gravity spell may or may not have aggravated her injuries."

Edward didn't care about that. He knew that if it wasn't for Adam, he and Lisa would have surely died from the orcs' assault. He couldn't bring himself to blame Adam even if he wanted to.

He could only impatiently ask, "Can you cure her or not?"

"Heh!" Adam raised his chin at a forty-five-degree angle and sneered, "Who the hell do you think you're talking to? I'm a damn genius among geniuses when it comes to herbalism. Hmph!"

The next moment, he took out two long needles from his earring and coated them in mana. Then, turning his mana into fine threads, he pierced the needles into Lisa's chest.

"What're you doing?!" Atiel panicked seeing Adam's method, and even Daneli was visibly disturbed. "What kind of barbaric method are you—"

"Let him be." Edward calmed them down. He had full trust in Adam. After all, the latter was able to save even his mother from the brink of death when even Berger, a Rank 3 Herbalist, couldn't.

"You guys pay attention to the battle. Make sure no one interferes with my operation," Adam solemnly instructed.

The needles pierced through Lisa's flesh and muscles, and under Adam's guidance, carefully circled around the broken ribs. The mana threads attached to the ends of the needles slowly knitted the ribs back together.

Edward and the elven twins couldn't see what was happening under Lisa's skin, but if they could, they would be shocked out of their minds.

What Adam was doing was essentially stitching Lisa's bones back in alignment!
