Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1954

Chapter 1954: Nineteen (Part 2)

'Maybe he's even the Master they are talking about. That or he's the bravest man on Mogar.' Tryssa had no idea that Lith was simply ignorant.

Names that would scare a wiser and older man were just cringy to him.

She couldn't afford to underestimate her opponents anymore so she took a long look at Lith with Life Vision. He was the second weakest of the group after Elphyn, but that could be explained by a cloaking ring.

Tryssa ignored her sight and focused on her nose, smelling a faint trace of Eldritch Abomination from him.

'I knew it! As long as they are in human form, their power is suppressed but they can't hide their smell.' She thought, finding no joy in her discovery.

"What are you exactly?" Tryssa asked Lith. "Before I go back to the Council, I need to know who we are dealing with."

"I'm nineteen." He gave the flabbergasted Fae thumbs up without moving from his chair.

Tryssa racked her brain to make sense of those words, but to no avail. Every famous monster, Abomination, and Eldritch had a nickname that represented their madness, not a mere number.

For a second, she assumed that it might have been the mysterious Eldritch's body count, but then she realized that two digits weren't something even an Awakened would brag about.

"As in there are nineteen more of you? Or is it your position in this Organization?" Self-duplicating or ranking was the only logical explanation.

"No, as in I'm nineteen years old." Lith shook his head as he stood up.

He released his violet aura while unfolding his four wings and opening his seven eyes.

"I am probably younger than most of the hotel staff, but I reached this level on my own. I am no legacy heir. I Awakened and developed on my own until the Garlen Council found me."

"Imagine what I'll become tomorrow." Lith stared at her, opening his face-mask and letting small bursts of Origin Flames come out.

Tryssa furrowed her brows for a second before her eyes went wide in surprise.

'Great Mother almighty!' She inwardly reassessed the threat level of each one of the invaders. 'If what this guy says is true, then he might be the second weakest of the group, but he's also the scariest.

'Elphyn has Menadion's legacy to back her while the others are old monsters who built their power through the centuries. Their strength makes sense. Reaching the violet so soon and developing a unique bloodline it's unheard of, instead.

'He's wearing no cloaking device and I can tell that his physical prowess is at the level of a Divine Beast. I can't believe that someone who is less than one-fifth of my age can kill me with the flick of a finger.'

The Fae had come to the Winged Boar hotel to intimidate and humiliate the arrogant Shadow Dragon who had dared to demand an audience with the Council instead of requesting it.

Yet she was about to leave the building after having been scared to death and thoroughly humiliated. The Final Smile had played her like a fiddle from the beginning and exploited her ignorance to corner the Council.
