Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2264

Phogia fell so quickly that it didn't seem real to either side of the war.

"Great Mother protect us." King Meron said while scratching his red beard in shock. "I always knew that Verhen had the power of a Magus way before turning into a Divine Beast, but this? This is too much!

"How the heck are you supposed to stop that?"

Queen Sylpha held his hand tight, trying to calm him down. She was afraid that the stress might make his health worsen.

"Does anyone know about something called the Black Throne?" She asked the member of the Awakened Council who coordinated the attack from there.

Lotho was still in Zeska, Inxialot was protecting Lith's family in Lutia, and Raagu was just entering Phogia.

"I've heard about it, but it's just a legend." Feela the Behemoth couldn't muster enough focus to look away from the hologram, her eyes filled with a mix of awe and horror.

"We'll talk about this later, then." Sylpha remembered well Tyris' warning and suddenly she felt the need to find something that could match the power of their Supreme Magus or at least keep him from obtaining whatever the Black Throne was.

Meanwhile, in the Throne Room of the Golden Griffon, Thrud didn't share their worries one bit.

"Retreat now and prepare to join your brethren at Verhen's next stop. Phogia has fallen and there's no point in delaying the inevitable." The moment the two Divine Beasts Warped away, the Mad Queen burst into excited laughter.

For the first time since Jormun's death, her eyes shed tears of joy instead of pain, and her body brimmed with adrenaline.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, are you feeling well?" Sevenus Hystar, the Headmaster of the Golden Griffon, was afraid that Lith's display of power had caused Thrud more despair than her cracked mind could take.

Hystar feared that once her descent into madness was complete, there would be no one carrying the torch of Arthan's dream. Valeron the Second would need at least two decades before becoming strong enough to replace his mother and none of the Generals could command the Golden Griffon.

Without her, there was no war, only a slow and agonizing defeat.

"No, Hystar, I don't feel well. I feel amazing!" Thrud conjured three glasses of wine and made a toast to Phogia's fall.

Phloria and Hystar were the only ones allowed into Thrud's private quarters and the only ones who knew about Lith's tower. They despised each other greatly but their loyalty to the Mad Queen was identical.

They exchanged a worried look before asking:

"What do you mean, amazing? You should be angry, My Queen." Phloria actually was as happy as Thrud, but to her enslaved persona those feelings only caused more worry. "You have just lost two cities in the span of a few hours."

"Oh no, dear. You misunderstand me." Thrud shook her head, realizing the source of their bewilderment. "I was angry before, when I thought that a miserable runt had killed my husband.

"The idea that an insignificant weakling had taken my Jormun away from me made me furious, but this changes everything." She had the Golden Griffon replay the highlights of the sieges.

"Jormun was felled by a worthy opponent, someone who once I'm done with the Royals, will join you at my service." Thrud's words reassured Phloria, the Mad Queen hadn't forgotten about her promise. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

After he was certain that there was no enemy hiding in the vicinities nor any magical resource he could apply to exploit, Lith sat on the ground and took lots of food out of his pocket dimension.

Mana was still energy and it couldn't be created out of thin air. Lith needed food to repair his body and to provide his mana core with the nutrients it required to fuel its abilities.

"That was damn impressing." Raagu walked up to him, her surprise growing stronger as she noticed how good his condition was. "Such a magnificent display of power and you haven't even broken a sweat.

"How did you do that?"

"The mana geyser." Lith stopped eating for a second to point down with his fork. "I used it along with Invigoration to overcharge my body with mana and my equipment with world energy.

"My Blade Spell allows me to draw in the outside energy and refill the power cores the moment they get depleted. The problem is that usually the world energy is too thin to make a difference."

"Brilliant." Raagu nodded, falling for his lie hook, line, and sinker.

The human representative had no idea how a Blade Spell worked, especially when employed by a Divine Beast. The offspring of the Guardians were considered creatures who defied common logic and Lith was no exception.

On top of that, no one had a clue about the Tiamat bloodline's abilities. Lith was exploiting his unknown bloodline and unique origin to cover up for the tower.
