Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1113

Chapter 1113 A Mage Among Gods Part 1

The Master couldn’t believe that beings millennia old could also be so stupid that they would face Baba Yaga with outdated artifacts. Unfortunately, Adamant was rare and to equip a single creature the size of any of the Guardians’ bloodlines required tons of enchanted metal.

After Xenagrosh purified Adamant to its utmost limit with Origin Flames, its quality increased tenfold, yet its mass decreased by the same amount. The Master couldn’t afford to go into battle with the Guardians without giving the Abominations the best money could offer.

Davross was so rare that even Eldritch Abominations older than the Guardians had just accumulated a few ingots. Enough for a man, but barely enough to cover one of Xenagrosh’s talons after she shapeshifted.

The Master had given up on finding enough Davross to make equipment and relied on the black market for a regular supply of Adamant of. The Gorgons living in Leegaain’s lair produced the priceless metal simply by breathing on grass, making it inexhaustible.

The Guardian would put batches of Adamant on the market from time to time, to allow powerful Forgemasters to put their abilities to the test and improve their skills, but this is a story for another day.

"You’re being unfair!" Xenagrosh stepped forward to protect Tezka from the Master’s fury. "We did it only for you. Lith is not only my little brother, he’s also precious for your plans. On top of that, his family was under attack and-"

"Nice try, but I don’t believe you." The Master had the hologram of Lith’s hybrid form fighting Night appear in the middle of the room. The Organization had the resources to get their hands on Captain Locrias’s report the moment he submitted it.

"An unknown necromancy spell, an army of magical beasts, Origin Flames, and even an array powerful enough to make a Horseman bend the knee. Verhen didn’t need your help. He would have found the path to victory on his own, he always does."

The Master replayed the images in a loop, sighing with admiration and envy.

Nandi did his best to read the room, but both his instincts and sharp mind failed to make sense of the events unfolding in front of his eyes. No matter what appearance the monster-Abomination hybrids took, they were titans whereas the Master was just a human.

No matter how powerful the Master’s mana core was or how tall they were. In front of immortal beings that descended from the Guardians, anyone else looked like an ant. Something that should stay quiet and pray to not get stomped.

The Master, instead, acted like a disgruntled father reprimanding his unruly children and the Abominations couldn’t even look them in the eyes.

’Maybe spending too much time alone drove me mad and Baba Yaga suppressed it while I lived with her because this doesn’t make sense.’ Nandi thought. ’I’ll play along for a bit longer before taking my leave.’

"Nandi." The Master’s voice snapped him out of his reverie. "Are you sure of your decision? From what I understand, you bear the mark of Baba Yaga’s Firstborns and my Organization doesn’t get along with her.

"I can’t afford to waste time and resources on an unreliable ally. I need to know where your allegiance truly lies before admitting you among our ranks. Answer me and answer me honestly.

"Would you be able to treat the witch as an enemy if you were to meet her on the battlefield or does your past relationship cloud your judgment?"
