You really were a mage.\" A voice could be heard speaking as Grey finally reappeared four metres away from Gunlag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunlag was just as confused by the sudden interruption as he began twisting his head around, searching for the source of the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey lifted an eyebrow slightly as his ears perked up at the phrase the unknown person had used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Mage.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... And a really, really strong one at that. How strong? I don’t know yet, and I intend to find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Above.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey swiftly lifted his head, eyes narrowing as he saw a... lightning bolt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. It was a human wrapped in crackling lightning, and within the blink of an eye, the figure crashed down between him and Gunlag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stood there, cloak fluttering violently as lightning crawled over his body, his hood still covering his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey raised an eyebrow at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait. This is that mysterious fellow from earlier. I knew there was something sketchy about him. To think he was a mage, eh? And a lightning one at that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning continued to crackle fiercely around the man for a few seconds before dying down almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accidentally, when he crashed down earlier, stray sparks had flown outward, jolting the unconscious men from Gunlag’s squad awake with sharp spasms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? And how dare you save him from me?!\" Gunlag finally barked aloud, clenching his sword tighter as a deep frown etched itself onto his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds of silence passed before the mysterious man suddenly burst into loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Saved him from you?! Hahaha~ what a pleasant joke I’ve heard in a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Gunlag muttered, clearly thrown off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man laughed for a few moments longer before adding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fool. I just saved you from him. With what I sensed, you were seconds away from meeting your maker if I hadn’t intervened on time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey casually tucked his hands into his pockets at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you speaking like you know me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious man did not acknowledge Grey’s words at all. He did not even turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he still replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know you. But I’m old enough to sense a monster even from miles away. I knew I sensed a mage among the crowd gathered earlier, but for some reason, I couldn’t pinpoint your aura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And I couldn’t sense his aura either. How did he conceal his power even from me? Does he have an artifact helping him do that?’ Grey wondered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite how powerful the man in front of him felt, Grey remained strangely calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious man continued speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’m still shocked by what I can sense. Not only can you use magic, you can also wield Ki? That makes you a... warrior mage. A hybrid? The same thing he wanted to create? Now, I’m intrigued.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He?’ Grey frowned inwardly. ’What is he talking about?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now... I want to know if you are a good mage or not before I delete you from the surface of the earth. So... who are you?\" the mysterious man demanded, pointing his palm directly at Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning crackled violently around his hand, radiating deadly intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! Delete me?\" Grey burst into pure, unhinged laughter, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Do you even know who I am? Wait. That’s right. You don’t. Haha~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious man showed no emotion for several seconds as he stared at the warrior mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he let out a quiet sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A concentrated beam of lightning erupted at breakneck speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey was still laughing, eyes closed, when he sensed the attack racing straight toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swinging his hand upward with his palm opened to the sky, a massive earth wall rose out of the ground in a single second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beam of lightning tore through the wall as if it were nothing more than parchment before continuing onward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing was that... Grey was nowhere to be seen as the attack smashed into the ground, burning a hole straight through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It isn’t good to threaten me. Do you know the number of people who have threatened me? Shall I tell you where they are?\" Grey’s voice whispered from behind the mysterious man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without turning around, a long pole of lightning screamed down from the sky like a divine sword, aimed at cleaving Grey in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, the Supreme Magus teleported out of view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pole tore through the ground like a hot knife cutting through butter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of wind blasted outward with fierce intensity, bringing with it sparks of lightning, while Gunlag simply stood there with a stupefied expression frozen on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know? I’m not taking you seriously yet because I want to know who you truly are and whether you are with them.\" The mysterious man spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey appeared three metres away, wearing a calm, nonchalant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wind magic: Sky Cutter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wind magic? I thought he used earth magic?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoooosh—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind howled loudly as a massive horizontal wind slash burst from Grey’s palms and rocketed toward the man at neck-breaking speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man blitzed away with blazing speed, dodging the attack that now headed toward Gunlag unrestricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit.\" The warrior swiftly lifted his sword, preparing to clash with the incoming strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would advise you to dodge that attack instead. Fool.\" Grey suddenly uttered with a mocking tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Gunlag followed the advice, attempting to sidestep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, the attack grazed his armour, chipping a massive portion off before tearing through the air and cleaving a massive trench that stretched for metres on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunlag’s heart began pounding violently as he stared at the destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wh-What would have happened to me if I hadn’t dodged? I-I would have been split in two?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a dual-elementalist? Who are you really?!\" The mysterious man demanded, his voice rising sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s rude to ask for someone’s identity when you’re hiding behind a stupid hood!\" Grey countered fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he added calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Now why don’t you do us a favour and show us your face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swooosh—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey hurled the dagger in his hand with all his might, causing it to break through the sound barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lightning sword instantly materialised in the man’s hand as he lifted it and slammed the dagger away, a loud boom echoing across the terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, that was a feint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey was already directly in front of him, Clara firmly gripped in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swinging his sword downward, the mysterious man’s eyes widened beneath the cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the aid of the lightning element, he leaned backward, dodging the slash by the skin of his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent gust of wind still blasted outward, smashing into the hood on his head and flinging it off, sending the cloak flying from his body instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaping away to avoid a counterattack, Grey tilted his head as he examined the man’s face for any sign of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was none until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait. It’s you?!\" Gunlag shouted in recognition, staring with his mouth agape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the vice clan leader of the Waterfall Clan from the Aetherian faction doing here?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-05T15:21:41.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","b73c58d47fd81b8be1c9f951301187a4e776f3c01fcd5b19153c1dda2220d4f4","magus-supremacy-chapter-758","magus-supremacy-chapter-756",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
