Demon! Beast! A truly terrifying creature!\" Kael exclaimed in horror, tottering forward like a drunkard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no. I no longer deserve the title of ’Lunaria’s Demon.’ That belongs to you. Five affinities? It’s madness—utterly insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey slowly descended, landing smoothly on the scorched ground while brushing off his crimson robe with a calm, practiced motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is you.\" Vanica’s eyes grew moist as she and Arthur rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Grey could even process what was happening, Raze, Vanica, Arthur, and Jay darted toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They threw themselves onto him, their eyes welling with tears as they clung to his frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are the one. You’re alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I am. Who possesses the power to truly take down the Supreme Magus?\" Grey asked with a light, airy chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad squeezed him tightly, their sobs muffled against his heavy robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Greg, Scarlet, and Kael remained where they stood, though for the first time in an age, tears trickled down Kael’s stoic face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly wiped them away, masking his vulnerability while he watched the reunion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh Grey, where have you been? So much has happened in your absence. We were almost at our breaking points,\" Arthur cried, clenching the mage’s collar firmly while weeping into his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We—we missed you so much,\" Vanica sniffled, sobbing with the raw abandon of a toddler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey was stumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt completely out of his element, unsure of how he was supposed to comfort them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could manage was a clumsy pat on the backs of those huddled around him, a warm, bittersweet smile gracing his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I never knew I would be missed quite this much. Hahaha...\" He chuckled, even as a lone tear slid down his own face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another followed, and then one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I missed you all too. So—so much.\" His voice cracked like a broken record, the composure he had maintained as a masked warrior finally splintering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clutched Raze’s robe tighter as grief, pain, and overwhelming sadness finally overcame him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months had passed—nearly twenty-four months since he had last seen their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I’m sorry I couldn’t return sooner. I wanted to, trust me. I really wanted to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why didn’t you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous shout erupted, causing the sobbing mages to lift their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet stood there fuming, her hands tightened into white-knuckled fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, she began stomping forward with furious intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You claim to miss us? Yet you were nowhere to be found for all these months! A year and a half—approaching two years! How can you stand there and claim to miss us?!\" Scarlet screamed as she closed the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her incandescent expression, Jay, Raze, Vanica, and Arthur simultaneously took several steps back, putting a safe distance of two metres between themselves and Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Magus looked around, realizing he had been abandoned to the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Betrayals....\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a jiffy, Scarlet was already standing directly in front of him, her glare sharp enough to draw blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you show your face here after so long?!\" she screamed, grabbing his collar and jerking him forward so they were eye-to-eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I—I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are what? Sorry?!\" Scarlet’s jaw tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, her hand blurred forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resounding strike landed on the mage’s cheek, snapping his head to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to lift his gaze to offer an explanation, but another blow from her other hand landed with equal force, flinging his head in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling his collar roughly to keep him from recoiling, Scarlet glared into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own gaze was glistening with tears that had begun to roll down her cheeks in earnest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I waited. I waited! Day after day, week after week, I waited. Weeks turned into months, and months turned into years. I thought you would return at any moment, but you never did!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried my best to hold the squad together. I really tried. But at the end of the day, we fell apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others lowered their heads in a heavy, shared guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence of the ruins pressed in on them as Scarlet’s words laid bare the fractures that had formed in Grey’s absence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We all... We all...\" Scarlet’s voice cracked as she buried her face back into his chest, sobbing into his robe until the dark fabric turned moist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, lifting her head, she forced herself to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey stared into her beautiful eyes, which were glistening with an endless stream of tears rolling down her flushed cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... We all missed you, Grey. We all did...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you?\" Grey suddenly asked, the question causing the girl to pause mid-sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" she croaked out, her breath hitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you miss me? You said they all missed me, but did you miss me even one bit?\" Grey asked softly, his own eyes glistening with a vulnerability he rarely showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet’s lips quivered for a long moment as she searched his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did. Every single day you were not here; every damn day I kept running outside to see if you would ever return. I kept thinking about you daily. I kept crying myself to sleep with only your memory to keep me company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the squad watched the scene with warm, genuine smiles spreading across their faces, some of them almost blushing on behalf of the pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... So yes, Grey Dawn, I missed you a whole lot—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words were interrupted immediately as she was pulled forward by Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He yanked her close until their faces were touching, the space between them disappearing entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could feel the warmth of each other’s breath against their skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, Grey leaned in and locked lips with Scarlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awwwww!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally! My boy is now a man!\" Raze shouted, reaching into his pocket to grab a handkerchief and blowing his nose loudly into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey and Scarlet blocked out the boisterous noises from their friends, remaining frozen in place as they relished the sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes drifted shut, every other concern in the world fading into the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet’s hands wrapped tightly around the Supreme Magus’ neck, her fingers tangling in his hair as she refused to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s hands found their place on her slender waist, pulling her flush against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They explored the kiss with a desperate, long-awaited hunger, their lips meeting again and again as if to make up for every second of the last two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five full minutes of kissing—while the others had nothing to do but watch with varying degrees of amusement and awkwardness—they finally disengaged with a loud, final smack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring down into her eyes, Grey smiled softly and whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And long awaited,\" Scarlet added, a slight blush creeping up her neck as she replayed the memory of the kiss over and over in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hang on!\" Jay suddenly shouted, shattering the romantic atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leveled a shaking finger in Grey’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it now?\" Raze asked, raising a skeptical brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... I’m just realizing something right now,\" Jay stammered, his face pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which is? What is so important that you had to ruin the mood?\" Kael glared at the noble, clearly annoyed by the interruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay looked up to stare at Grey, his eyes wide with a new kind of realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grey has five affinities, right? And he didn’t even use a single one throughout the whole fight! This bastard wasn’t even taking us seriously to begin with?!\" he shouted in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Grey’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing, simply offering a knowing smirk to his friends, whose expressions shifted from joy to utter realization at just how much he had been holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1352,"2026-06-05T15:21:43.022Z",1,"novelbin.me","35170ca0c1c77575877baec3a90ec8179a1b6037d42c9cd94c216148d8559ebf","magus-supremacy-chapter-911","magus-supremacy-chapter-909",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
