Not really fair now, is it?\" the silent executioner finally spoke, his tone calm yet laced with arrogance. The scarred general strode forward, taking his place beside him with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, it's more even.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, countless glowing runes spiraled into existence around Amir and Ryan, their light casting eerie shadows across the cracked battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Block this!\" the scarred man bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the runes, vicious chains tipped with razor-sharp blades shot forth like striking vipers, whistling through the air toward the two captains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan stepped forward, his face darkening as the ground beneath them began to tremble, pulsing with raw magical energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crystalline Magic: Resonance Wave!\" he roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a heartbeat, the tremors ceased. Then—BOOM—the earth erupted with intensified quakes as a massive crystalline wall surged upward from beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield met the chains with a thunderous crash, releasing a blinding shockwave. The chains shattered on impact, their fragments scattering like glass shards under the force of the resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Catch this!\" Amir snapped, summoning four sleek, gleaming metal swords that hurtled toward the enemy duo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a lazy flick of his wrist, the silent executioner dismissed them. A crushing field of gravity surged forward, and the swords cracked and shattered mid-air like brittle ice under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're strong,\" the scarred general noted, his cold eyes locking onto Ryan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan smirked, brushing dust off his shoulder. \"Of course. They don't call me the greatest captain for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—\" Amir turned with a deadpan stare. \"No one calls you the greatest captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C'mon! I was trying to sound cool! That line was badass, admit it.\" Ryan grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, well, we're kinda in the middle of a fight here,\" the executioner interrupted flatly—before blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanished—then reappeared right in front of Amir, his hand pulsing with condensed mana. Without warning, he slammed it into Amir's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force sent Amir skidding backward across the cracked ground, blood splashing from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over here!\" Ryan shouted, thrusting his palm forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp crystal pillar erupted from the ground, spearing toward the executioner with lethal speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the general turned with a sneer, releasing a pulse of gravity so intense it warped the air. Cracks split the pillar until it crumbled to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You forgot… I control gravity,\" the general said smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah? And I control metal!\" Amir shouted, slamming his gauntlet into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the ground, a towering metal pillar surged toward the executioner, but a swarm of glowing runes intercepted it mid-flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell twisted the trajectory—half the pillar vanished and reappeared, slamming into its own tail and obliterating itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn your cursed magic!\" Amir growled, dashing forward. His gauntlets morphed into a broad blade, the edges glinting like a mirror under moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He can attack from far away, so can I. But he has the advantage with long range attacks. All I have to do is get close to him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Amir leapt through the air, his blade tearing through wind, a silver arc of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rune pulsed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FOOOOM! A storm of raw mana exploded from the rune, forcing Amir to abandon his strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A metallic shield surged before him, absorbing the blast—but the impact hurled him backward. He staggered, coughing blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could regain balance, WHACK! a massive chain whipped into him like a battering ram, launching him through a nearby building. Debris rained down as his body vanished into the rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ryan stood tall before the silent executioner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that your friend's busy... I can take care of you myself.\" Ryan muttered, his voice low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath his feet warped and shifted, forming a crystal bridge that hurled him forward like a missile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he closed the distance, he swung his arm—and from thin air, a colossal crystal club materialized, swinging toward the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it never made contact. The club shattered just inches away from its target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—suddenly—Ryan's body froze, limbs going limp as he was yanked upward. Gravity had turned against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slammed back down with brutal force, the ground exploding under him. A crystalline shell barely formed in time to protect his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn! They're just like the grown-up versions of Viktor and Sol. Only... male. And I'm seriously getting pissed off now.' Ryan groaned as the gravity relented, allowing him to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't land a single hit. Can't get close. Can't attack from afar. Everything gets crushed or swallowed by that damned wormhole!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you so far away?\" the executioner asked, his arm raised and aimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come closer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black hole formed before Ryan, the pull of its gravity gripping him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, no, no! Retreat! Retreat!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You call yourself a captain?\" the executioner sneered. Ryan was mid-air now, being reeled in like a helpless fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid was tougher than both of you combined!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The executioner's fist swung forward with devastating momentum, aimed straight for Ryan's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that moment—CRACK!—energy erupted around Ryan as he caught the punch with his bare hand, crystal forming like a second skin. His teeth clenched, muscles straining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can say anything else…\" he growled, fury bubbling in his voice, \"…but NEVER compare me to kids!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground exploded beneath him as a crystal pillar launched upward with terrifying power, smashing the executioner skyward. Blood and a tooth flew from his mouth as he spun through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah. Feisty.\" Amir limped over, his armor cracked, blood trickling from the side of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, big guy!\" he shouted at the scarred man, who now stood surrounded by a cyclone of runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blur, a hundred metal spears shimmered into existence around Amir, while something massive began forming at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SNAP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spears surged forward, slicing through the air toward the scarred man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chains erupted from the runes once again, wrapping around the spears. They pulsed as they drained the magic and momentum from each one, then tossed them aside like useless twigs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't even let me finish my sentence,\" Amir muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The object beneath him fully formed, and he grinned as he gripped the hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a titanic war hammer—six meters long, with a head so thick it seemed more mountain than weapon. The metal pulsed with runic veins, humming with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to ask if you like the taste of... hammer!\" Amir bellowed, hurling the massive weapon like a meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred general smirked and stepped aside casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You missed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His runes whirled faster, summoning jagged spears of energy to finish Amir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Amir didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I, though?\" he asked slyly, hand outstretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer flew back like a boomerang, spinning with lethal force—and this time, it hit its mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer struck the scarred man square in the back, driving him into the ground with earth-shaking force before he could even react.\u003C\u002Fp>",1143,"2026-06-05T15:21:23.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","a0f4b59cd8c0ed6efe7601f530d3ac892da82de017bc015aaaedf8a71b51b7d4","magus-supremacy-chapter-250","magus-supremacy-chapter-248",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
