So all this is your doing, eh?\" he said coldly. \"You got my kids to betray me, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey simply shook his head with indifference, his eyes narrowing as they locked onto the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never got your kids to betray you; this is the result of your deeds and your negligence. It was their own decision to do whatever they wanted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly, as if carefully choosing his next words, before continuing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...

But as it turns out, you actually survived?\" He scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have the Otherworlders lost their credibility now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey pushed his robe aside slightly as he dug his hands into his pockets, maintaining that relaxed stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t lose credibility,\" he replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just faced the wrong person, Orion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KA-BOOOOOOM—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The east booth shattered into splinters as bodies were hurled out of it like discarded dolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s attention snapped toward the explosion as he turned to stare at the flying figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could focus and get a proper look, each of them dug their weapons into the ground, dragging themselves to a skidding halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped steadily from the corners of their mouths as they all landed in front of Noir—on their knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the dust finally settled, Grey could clearly see who they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo, Rivock, Noelle, Finral, Liam, Ray, and Fenrir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, from the remains of the destroyed booth, Rowen, Selene, and the remaining twenty-four men they had brought with them stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two dozen warriors positioned themselves behind the leaders, who walked forward casually as if nothing unusual had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine-tuning his senses, Grey could feel the warrior stages of the men standing behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them were below stage five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head slightly, Grey caught sight of Rivock’s older brother walking alongside the leaders, a deep frown etched on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What’s going on here?\" Rowen asked in his deep, booming voice as his eyes landed on both Grey and the giant wolf standing at the center of the coliseum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selene’s brows furrowed as she narrowed her gaze onto Grey the moment she got close enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait. I recognize this kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her words, Rowen began searching through his memory while staring at Grey from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, it clicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right. Wasn’t he the one who battled Mada and Rivock to the death during the Aetherian Academy’s tournament?\" he said slowly. \"I recognize that robe—and the crimson hair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drevor lifted a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Doesn’t that mean he’s the Crimson Dragon people spoke of after the tournament?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GASPS—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Drevor’s words, the entire crowd gasped in shock as heads snapped toward Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crimson Dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same fearsome warrior who used strange techniques people now dubbed as something \"magical\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name had spread far and wide after the Aetherian Academy tournament—and now, that very figure stood right in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.... It all made sense now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red hair. The sudden teleportation. And the fact that he could boldly speak to Orion the way he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t that mean this was an internal issue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, then this ran far deeper than it initially seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And everyone was watching closely—eager, tense, and anticipating what was about to happen next.\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-05T15:21:41.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","31e2c49430f77732bf4ef4f582281fdedda64d04db9c76f26e1b534216f9bb4d","magus-supremacy-chapter-802","magus-supremacy-chapter-1068",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
