This is bad.’ Ash gulped as the deafening bang erupted from Frowny’s charge, officially signalling the brutal commencement of the clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey wasted no time shifting into a combat stance, arm stretched forward while a lightning sword crackled into existence within his grasp, concealed from the robed man’s view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowny’s body blocked the weapon completely, preventing the observer from noticing the flickering blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing danger, Frowny swiftly manifested a visible Ki sword inside his palm, the weapon brimming with lethal force and the pressure of a battle seasoned veteran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a heartbeat, he was already upon the mage, blade arcing overhead before crashing downward like a cleaver meant to split flesh and bone apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind spiralled around Grey’s feet in a flash, launching him sideways as the Ki sword narrowly missed him by a hair’s breadth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strike released a violent Ki wave that ripped through the exact spot Grey had occupied moments earlier, blasting stones skyward as the mountain quaked beneath the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s pulse thundered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That was too close. Worse still, I cannot afford complex spells right now. If I rely heavily on magic techniques, my mana will drain within seconds, leaving me defenceless once the robed man intervenes.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the narrow opening, the mage surged forward and swung his lightning sword horizontally toward the exposed flank of the charging warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the scorching arc slicing toward him, Frowny pivoted sharply on one heel, twisting his body aside with remarkable agility and narrowly evading the slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the stage six warrior retaliated, thrusting his Ki blade toward Grey’s uncovered arm with deadly precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With instincts sharpened by countless battles and his affinity with wind reinforcing his reactions, the warrior mage spun his body smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lightning blade snapped into position just in time, intercepting the thrust head on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp crack echoed from the collision as sparks scattered violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s muscles shuddered as the impact forced him backward, boots scraping against stone while his jaw clenched tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it. I have relied on overwhelming magic for too long. I nearly forgot how terrifying a stage six warrior truly is in direct combat.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could stabilise himself, Frowny closed in again, delivering a crushing downward strike aimed directly at Grey’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind flared around Grey’s form, propelling him aside as the attack narrowly missed, his heartbeat pounding furiously within his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When I fought Rivock, another stage six, I was unleashed completely, drowning the battlefield in lightning without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, my reserves were full. Now they are not. I cannot afford reckless devastation, especially with Anna and Ash nearby.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planting one foot firmly, Grey narrowed his gaze as Ki condensed beneath his soles. His muscles tensed, teeth grinding as power coiled tightly within his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exploded forward like a bolt, vanishing from his previous position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he crossed the distance separating him from Frowny and slashed toward the man’s abdomen with everything he had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning surged violently from the blade, bursting outward as a blazing arc streaked straight toward the stage six warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a subtle adjustment of his footing, the warrior blurred through the assault, allowing the lightning arc to slam into the mountain behind him, tearing apart a massive chunk of stone while dust and shattered rock erupted outward in a choking cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ash stood frozen, eyes wide, as he watched the exchange between the once terrifying Supreme Magus and the stage six combatant with unfiltered amazement and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could you ever think of challenging us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice drifted into Grey’s hearing from behind as Frowny’s arm flickered toward the mage’s head, fingers stretched to seize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the very next instant, the mage vanished entirely, leaving Frowny grasping nothing but empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wind pulse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang. Bang. Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three invisible projectiles resembling compressed gales erupted from Grey’s fingertips, racing toward Frowny at blistering speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the warrior scowled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spinning sharply, he swept his Ki blade through the space ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the attack remained unseen, he sensed its trajectory and met every strike flawlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The echo that followed resembled solid metal smashing repeatedly against glass as his weapon shredded each invisible blast with brutal efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robed man observed quietly, mild interest dancing within his gaze as he continued underestimating the field agent’s adaptability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landing several metres away, Ki flared beneath Grey’s boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous burst, he surged forward in a straight dash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How foolish can you truly be?\" Frowny barked, a trace of amusement creeping across his stern features as he watched the mage rush directly toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a blink, Grey was already there, hauling his blade into a sweeping horizontal strike. Frowny braced himself to intercept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Grey smirked beneath the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the mage reappeared midair directly above the warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Block this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty lightning arrows materialised at once, screaming downward from the sky like divine punishment, all aimed squarely at Frowny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robed man stiffened, shock flashing across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had his eyes been capable of popping free, they surely would have from how widely they stretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not comprehend what the so called field agent had just unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowny merely smirked, unmoving, gaze locked on the incoming barrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heartbeat later, the arrows struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions erupted violently around his position, lightning detonating again and again with crushing intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet astonishingly, none of the attacks touched him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shattered against empty air, dispersing as though colliding with an unseen wall separating the warrior from harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s brows knitted tightly as he realised the futility of the assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dropping back to the ground, his expression hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final sparks faded, Frowny casually brushed imaginary dust from his pristine attire, the hint of arrogance surfacing beneath his perpetual frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems the kid resembles you quite a lot, hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey lifted a brow, puzzled, when suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice sounded directly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey spun in alarm, heart lurching, only to find the robed man standing inches away, palms extended toward his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning crackled violently around those hands, energy condensing and ready to be unleashed at point blank distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shoot.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1033,"2026-06-05T15:21:41.119Z",1,"novelbin.me","b179a4a3c78c803c13b7a890731018fe544718450ed77b1f057ebe1b496bebf9","magus-supremacy-chapter-719","magus-supremacy-chapter-717",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
