Shattered mountain peaks jutted like broken fangs toward the sky, remnants of ancient celestial battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razor forests, filled with metallic thorns and obsidian spines, sprawled like deadly mazes—lethal to both man and beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And far across the horizon, violent maelstroms spun ceaselessly, massive whirlwinds of dust and debris that could reduce cities to dust in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the heart of this devastation, the forest floor was a graveyard of ruin—broken trees, deep craters, and the mangled corpses of beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some lay still, their deaths swift and clean. But the majority looked shriveled, burnt, their life force seemingly drained in the most unnatural of ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid this chaos stood two figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a young man with a blue bandana wrapped tightly over his tousled yellow hair. His light brown eyes scanned the devastation with a mix of awe and tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taller—about 6'2\"—with a lean, battle-hardened frame carved through years of merciless combat and survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His very presence weighed on the air, distorting silence. Even mana seemed to bend around him, clearing a path in deference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair was midnight black, unruly yet controlled, chaos tamed by force of will. Violet streaks shimmered occasionally through the strands, a residual mark of raw lightning mana exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was his eyes that unsettled most—one a cold storm-gray, unreadable; the other a glowing amethyst, laced with cracks of flickering lightning that never ceased, as if a storm raged within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jagged scar ran from his collarbone diagonally across his chest, etched with runes of shadow magic—pulsing faintly like a slumbering beast sensing danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a deep blue battlecoat lined with metallic violet trim, made from reforged mana-thread and monster hide. The insignia of the Lunaria Squad blazed on the back—crackling lightning bolts twisting around a half-moon crest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the carnage, he walked with calm indifference—like someone who had watched the world burn one too many times to care anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought the captain said this was supposed to be tough,\" the black-haired youth said, voice calm yet brimming with restrained power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would have been,\" the bandana-wearing boy replied. \"If you weren't here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you're saying you couldn't handle this on your own? That right, Viktor?\" The young man asked, turning his intense gaze toward the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viktor chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. \"C'mon, don't make it sound like that. Sol and I did handle Jack when he attacked. You were the one missing back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that?\" Kael replied, strolling casually away from the wreckage. \"I saw no need to intervene. That's why I left it to you and Sol.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viktor jogged after him, his tone tinged with exasperation. \"Why? Kael, only you, just you. With your power and strength, you could have ended the attack in a second. Hell, they don't call you the Demonic Student for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh that?!\" Kael smirked. \"I still don't know why the academy insists on calling me that. I don't see it, I'm not as strong as they claim I am. It's just overhy…\" He trailed off as a sharp crack echoed from the forest—trees snapping in the distance, something massive approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think we've got company,\" Viktor muttered, dropping into a stance, mana coiling around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the forest emerged a beast like no other—a towering gorilla-like creature, ten feet tall, its fur a deep crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two thick, twisted horns curled from its skull like demonic branches. Six arms extended from its bulky frame, each ending in claws that shimmered with an ominous crimson glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROARRR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its roar shook the heavens. The very ground trembled, and nearby trees were uprooted by the sheer force of its voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it pounded its chest with all six fists—booming, rhythmic thuds that sent seismic shockwaves through the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhm Kael,\" Viktor said quickly, \"That's a level 12 beast. Records say it's the planet's boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A level 12, huh?\" Kael murmured, eyes locked onto the beast. A grin slowly spread across his face. \"Think you can take it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean… I could try. Might take a few minutes. I'd say… eighty percent chance I win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael turned away from the rampaging beast and walked toward Viktor, hands buried in his coat pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhm… Kael?\" Viktor stammered, eyeing the oncoming threat. \"What exactly are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This,\" Kael said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before impact, the air around the beast shimmered. Twenty shadowy portals burst open, surrounding it from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From each portal, spears of lightning the size of tree trunks erupted—crackling with overwhelming voltage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the beast could react, they struck—piercing deep, electrocuting it, locking its body in mid-charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned, the monster staggered, its body writhing under the onslaught of energy. Then the portals snapped shut—and Kael was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the sky screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sonic boom exploded across the battlefield. Sound barriers shattered, and the nearby fauna fled in terror. A streak of lightning seared the sky—and with it, Kael appeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its head slid from its shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body collapsed with a thunderous crash, dust and ash clouding the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael reappeared before Viktor. With a flick of his hand, dark beast blood was flung from his face. He smiled nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like I was saying—the academy keeps overhyping me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viktor stared, slack-jawed. \"You're just like him…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael's brow rose. \"Like who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A first-year—well, second now. A multi-elementalist. He was the one who took down Jack and most of his undead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to you? Not quite. But he'd give you a real challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael's grin widened, and excitement flickered in his lightning-filled eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I guess,\" he said, voice low, \"it's time we returned to Lunaria Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, the ground beneath their feet turned pitch black—shadows consuming their forms. The duo sank slowly into the earth, vanishing from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>__\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{A\u002FN}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For so long now, for the past hundred chapters, I have been teasing this 'demonic student.' I hope I have delivered perfectly guys🤧 I had already named the demonic student Kael for a few dozen chapters before I remembered that there was another Kael I had killed way back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I just want to clarify to you all that these two Kaels are different and tbh, in my defense, I had already forgotten that I had created a character called Kael earlier so please, pardon me and keep reading.\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-05T15:21:23.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d6a157f6891e39b6ef10cbe3fec30fbe718c498e582de5026bbf0415922af27","magus-supremacy-chapter-237","magus-supremacy-chapter-235",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
