The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 313

"Could they possibly have a method to suppress my power now?"

"Indeed! They've acquired an incantation known as 'Icebound.'"

"It’s juat an incantation. Does it have the strength to restrain me?" Alavin was taken aback, questioning their overconfidence.

"They've plundered numerous treasures from Atlantis, and Semar had deciphered the incantation from a powerful staff. It's said to clear the mind and purify the spirit, resisting all manner of illusions. She's already tested it with illusion-specialized Protégés, and they were completely unaffected."

Nikulas stated, "Semar has shared the secrets of Icebound with Roald, Admus, and Felis. All four Golden Protégés have mastered Icebound specifically to counteract your Shadowlord's Wrath."

Alavin understood now. No wonder they were eager to challenge him. They were confident they could suppress the Shadowlord's Wrath, and by doing so, they could defeat him. They intended to make him admit defeat in front of the entire Organization, using his fall to re-establish the renown of the Golden Protégés.

"Either ignore them or come up with a counter-strategy." Nikulas and Myke had come specifically to warn Alavin. His most formidable move was Shadowlord's Wrath, and if it was neutralized, Alavin might not stand a chance against Semar and the others, which clearly aimed to embarrass him. Even if Semar were to fail, Admus and the rest would step up to challenge him in succession.

Alavin, however, felt his interest piqued. The ancient incantation of Icebound must’ve possessed considerable power. Could it truly suppress the murderous intent of the Shadowbringer?

If it really could, it meant that Shadowbringer had a nemesis, and he'd need to be more cautious in the future to avoid disaster at crucial moments.

"My lord, someone else has arrived," Grima alerted him.

"Alavin! As fellow Protégés, we should foster closeness, not isolate ourselves to the point of having no friends." A cold voice came from beyond the iron gate. Semar, a trusted Protégé of the Grand Elder, pushed open the gate. Dressed simply in plain garments, her long hair flowed casually down to her waist. She was naturally beautiful, yet never adorned herself.
