We have no missions lined up. I would have suggested hunting beasts,\" she said, pausing while stretching and yawning before continuing, \"But right now, I’m far too lazy to do anything productive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ash, seated beside Lance, gently nudged him with a calm look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong with you? You haven’t said a word this whole time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance let out a quiet sigh, his gaze fixed on his bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing. I was just thinking about the partnership we hope to form with the Supreme Magus. We don’t even know what he looks like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian clicked his bottle lightly while nodding in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree. The Behemoth Clan is chasing him right now, and I’m certain their leader won’t remain silent after he killed hundreds of their men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilly turned toward the duo, curiosity in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder where he even comes from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing those words, Ash’s eyes widened and his skin crawled. His already pale complexion turned even paler in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction, Alba raised an eyebrow, staring at the alchemist with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look like you’ve seen a ghost?\" she asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s... it’s just that I remembered something during the battle with the Behemoth Clan,\" Ash admitted, his voice low and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyebrows rose sharply in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? What is it?\" someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ash slowly nodded, keeping his eyes on the table, staring at his bottle which reflected back his cadaverous face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme Magus... he is not of this world,\" he stated solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alba, hearing this, let out a quiet chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think we’ve figured that out already, based on how you described his abilities,\" she remarked, smirking slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ash shook his head vigorously, his face tightening with seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you don’t understand. I’m not just saying he’s not of this world in a casual sense. I mean... I think he is something far beyond that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilly frowned, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Like a god or something?\" she asked incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brook couldn’t contain himself and let out a loud, hearty laugh, slapping the table repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A god? Seriously? Hahaha! Just because he uses strange abilities we don’t comprehend, you think he’s... PFFFFFFT! Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply watched Brook laughing uncontrollably, a tear sliding down the corner of his eye as he doubled over in amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmph,’ Alba mused silently to herself, saying nothing, as she quietly began chugging her drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, her bottle was empty. She looked around the table and noticed that some of her clan members’ bottles were still full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mischievous smirk, her hand shot out like a blur toward Killian’s bottle, ready to snatch it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a soft slap landed on the back of her hand, making her recoil with a loud yelp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were you trying to do?\" Killian asked, frowning as he quickly pulled his bottle back, holding it tightly in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alba scowled, pouting slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re suddenly getting faster, eh?\" she said teasingly, still frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian grinned, pride in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to this pair of swords that the Supreme Magus modified. It enhances my speed a bit, which allows me to contend with you now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\" Alba tossed her head aside with a frown, crossing her arms tightly across her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also want myself a modified weapon,\" she grunted, irritation and desire mixed in her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others couldn’t help but chuckle quietly among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to them with a raised eyebrow, her expression questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" she demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lance calmly wiped a tear that had formed from laughing so hard, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone sees you like this, they would never guess that you are a stage 7 warrior and the leader of this clan. They might think you’re just some teenager or something. Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alba didn’t reply, staring at the table with an exasperated scowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not a teenager,\" she said, pouting her lips cutely. \"Although, I do look like one, right? Judy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her name, the young woman’s chest skipped a beat. Her cheeks flushed red as she slowly lowered her gaze to the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, big sis, you do look like a teenager. A beautiful one at that,\" Judy whispered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alba’s grin widened, pride shining through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Judy,\" she said warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Ash heaved a sigh as he stood up. His chair scraped against the floor as it slid back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a lot of work to get ba—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze mid-sentence as he noticed everybody’s eyes widening in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, everyone shot upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier drunkenness on their faces vanished, replaced by sober, serious expressions as they went on high alert, staring intently... not at Ash, but at something beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused the pale alchemist to spin around swiftly, only to see an ashen portal opening in the air beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crap! Is it a portal break?\" he shouted, leaping backward quickly to put distance between himself and the ominous gateway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alba’s hands began glowing red as she glared at the portal, a mask of complete seriousness etching her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to evacuate the people downstairs in—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words cut short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling from the portal, a human figure landed on the ground with a heavy thud before the portal snapped shut with a loud, buzzing crackle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding her hand back, Alba motioned for the others to stay put as she stepped forward cautiously, each movement measured and deliberate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued until she stood a few feet from the figure lying battered and bloodied on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His red hair clung to his face, partially concealing it, but one thing was clear: he was still alive, though badly injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGHHHH!\" The figure roared in pain, causing Alba to stumble back instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze fell on the robe he wore, her eyes widening in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alba! What is it?\" Ash called urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Purple robe, red hair...\" she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle, Crackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning fizzled around the figure’s hand as he began panting heavily, huffing with effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Al... Alba,\" the figure croaked, his voice weak but full of recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Alba knew with certainty who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guys! It’s the Supreme Magus!\" she shouted, pointing toward the battered figure as her voice rang with both shock and awe.\u003C\u002Fp>",1175,"2026-06-05T15:21:40.823Z",1,"novelbin.me","220491b60459ff74bec64912e70a140bd0749a03fa5fa47ecf174ccc14421d4e","magus-supremacy-chapter-692","magus-supremacy-chapter-690",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
