Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 229 Opportunity

Adam found himself floating in a sea of asteroids, slowly drifting away in the multi-colored void of the Spirit World. As he looked around, he couldn't help but mutter in wonder, "It's a new experience every time I come here."

He flew through the sea of asteroids and found that they all differed in size. Some were smaller than his soul body, while others were bigger than the size of Moon City.

Suddenly, he turned his head in a certain direction and gazed at one of the asteroids in the distance. This one was huge, perhaps bigger than Moon City itself.

However, that wasn't what caught his attention.

On the surface of this asteroid, he could vaguely see two figures fighting each other. It was the sound of their fighting that caught his eye.

He paused in his flight as he thought to himself, From the intense level of mana signature coming from that asteroid, I can tell that the ones fighting are very strong… Definitely stronger than your average Rank 1!

The youth hesitated for a while, debating whether to go to that place or just aimlessly wander through this sea of asteroids. In the end, he resolved himself and decided to just go there and see what was happening.

Worst case scenario, if his life was in danger, he could just teleport back to the material world.

This was one of the advantages of Spirit World Traversal. While coming to this dimension, he would have to carve a runic formation, open a portal, and then enter.

However, while returning, all he had to do was weave a few hand gestures and he would be instantaneously teleported out to the material world where his physical body lay—atop the runic formation.

In the future, when Adam attained great mastery in this technique, he would be able to teleport in and out of the Spirit World with his physical body. Moreover, he wouldn't even need to carve any formations.

Having made up his mind, Adam flew toward the large asteroid where the fight was taking place. Surprisingly, it took him close to an hour to reach that place.

When he arrived, he was stunned to find out that the asteroid was incredibly larger than he had initially thought. But there was one more thing that shocked him even more.

As his feet touched the ground, he was once again surprised to learn that there was a slight pull of gravity tugging at him. He paused to observe his surroundings, his eyes flashing with excitement and curiosity.

Gravity was a very rare branch of magic. If it wasn't for Mathais' research that he had obtained in the Soaring River Secret Plane, who knows how difficult it would have been for Adam to embark on this path.

He crouched down and grabbed a handful of soil in his palm. Then, he slowly unclenched his hand and let gravity do the rest of the work. Seeing the soil fall back to the ground, he went into deep thought.

Could this asteroid be the natural source of gravity?

Or is this the result of some runic formation?

Is the gravity here uniform, or does it fluctuate from place to place?

Suddenly, he recalled something he had read in Mathias' research.

Mass!

But what exactly is the relationship between gravity and mass?

This unassuming asteroid that was floating through the bizarre void of the Spirit World had suddenly become a source of endless fascination for the youth.

BOOM!

However, the next moment, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a resounding explosion occurred in the distance.

Adam raised his head and glanced in the direction of the sound. There, he saw two strange behemoths fighting with each other. The youth gulped nervously, but in the end, decided to check it out.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

A phrase he repeated in his mind whenever he was attempting to do something stupid.

He stealthily made his way toward the battlefield, hiding between the large cracks and crevices on the way. As he made his way forward, his footsteps gradually slowed down and the expression on his face turned from curiosity to disbelief.

Hiding inside a ridge, the youth glanced at the bizarre situation unfolding in front of him. He couldn't help but mutter in absolute shock.

"What in the world is this?!"

In front of him, a colossal crab was standing proudly, its shell coated with a layer of bright, orange flames as he brandished its massive pincers that gleamed with a sharp light.

And it's opponent…

A gargantuan blue spider, its legs as thick as tree trunks and eyes gleaming with sinister intelligence.

The two large spirit creatures faced off against each other, casting their spells as bright magic circles lit up around them.

Two fiery red magic circles appeared in front of the crab's pincers. Whereas, two icy cold magic circles appeared before the spider's spinnerets.

Adam watched this scene unfold with a flabbergasted expression. He had never seen a battle of this scale before in his life. He couldn't believe that a random trip to the Spirit World would bring him such a surprise.

As the two Spirit World creatures prepared to cast their spells at each other, Adam involuntarily gulped in apprehension and thought to himself, No way! I need to get out of here. This is not the place for a small fry like me!

Without any hesitation, he raised his hands and prepared to weave signs to teleport back into the material world. But suddenly, his gaze fell on the ground right underneath the two titanic creatures, causing his hand movements to gradually stop.

A strange type of flower was growing there, and there were dozens of them. Realization suddenly dawned on Adam as he wondered, Those flowers seemed to be completely unharmed despite the havoc these guys are wreaking…

Are they perhaps fighting over these flowers?

Just what type of flowers could they possibly be...

He squinted his eyes and tried to get a good look at the strange flowers. Its petals were translucent like the finest silk, shimmering with a purple glow. Moreover, the petals had strange patterns on them that resembled something like the mixture of an eye and a heart.

When Adam's gaze fell on this peculiar pattern, his eyes widened in absolute shock and his breathing became ragged.

"It can't be! To think that I would find it here…"

The next moment, his eyes flashed with immense greed as he clenched his fists and resolved himself.

"I have to at least give it a shot… I can't waste this precious opportunity!"
