The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 326

"Lord Alavin, are you invincible in your rank now?" Godfred was extremely proud, as if the victory was his own.

"A face-to-face confrontation on the dueling stage is different from actual combat. The Shadowbringer cannot always be effective. The world is vast. Beyond Cobalt Strike lies the Northlands, beyond the Northlands lies the Royal Realm, beyond the Royal Realm lies the Kingdoms, beyond the Kingdoms lies the Sacred Territory, and beyond that, an even broader world. I have only taken a small step." Alavin was not so proud as to be inflated by his victory over Semar and the others, even though the Protégés of Cobalt Strike were shocked.

"Lord Alavin, has Icebound truly had no effect?" Grima asked quietly, lowering his voice.

"It has had an effect. It couldn't stop it, but it could dispel it."

"We'll have to be more cautious in the future." Grima nodded. Of course! Semar and the others must have tested their confidence in challenging, but still underestimated the Alavin's Shadowbringer.

Eyla trod lightly up the stairs. "Cobalt Strike no longer offers you a challenge. Try your hand at Bloodlore. Each of the eight great Organizations has its own flair, and there's bound to be one that suits you. Frankly, Cobalt Strike's Golden Protégé isn't as strong as I had imagined, not nearly as impressive as Mariela and Cedrick."

"They carry too much honor, unable to bear the weight of defeat. If it really came to a battle, whether I could beat Roald is anybody's guess."

Suddenly, Eyla looped her arm through Alavin's. "Give it to me straight. Will you truly become a Commander?"

"Who can say what the future holds?"

"Tell me if you're willing. If you become a Commander, our fates will part. Make a choice, pick me or the title of Commander."

Carlys couldn't stand it any longer and huffed. "Let go! Embrace your own dreams."

Eyla teased her, "Why don't you join in, little one? There's still an arm free, all yours."

Carlys clung tightly and glared defiantly at Eyla.

Alavin awkwardly withdrew his hand. "Carlys, why don't you show Eyla around? Let her admire the sights of Cobalt Strike."
