Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1566

Chapter 1566 - Awakened Madness (Part 2)

The Blade gave her mystical senses and enhanced her understanding of magic while the office was right above the mana geyser and filled her to the brim with world energy.

Thrud needed one breath of her personal technique, Regal Flow, to start the process. Just as Jormun had predicted, the Awakening process caused her mana to flood through every fiber of her being and fight against the unnatural rainbow core of hers, trying to beat it into submission.

Thrud's body was ripped to shreds and so was her vortex and her mana core which turned into seven smaller spheres of different colors. As the impurities left Thrud's body, all but the violet sphere grew in power and merged with the blue one the moment their color matched.

As for the vortex, the mana organ that Arthan's Madness had bestowed upon her and that granted her Invigoration-like abilities, it lost part of its mass by releasing small vortexes that fused with Thrud's body.

The mana flow of her Awakening process was more violent than that of a fake mage with a bright violet core. It coursed through the newly-assimilated vortexes in waves, forcing them to curl up into unstable spheres that relaxed the moment the flow decreased.

Yet the process started anew with the following wave, leaving Thrud not a single moment of respite. If not for the Unwavering Loyalty array, she would have died dozens of times in less than one minute…

The power of the Golden Griffon collected the bits of her body that kept exploding with each failed transformation and sewed them back together before her mana core could fade. Yet the Mad Queen's suffering was twofold.

Once when her flesh turned upside down in the attempt to get rid of the impurities and the second when the array restored it. Arthan had made sure that the process was efficient, with no care for how much pain it inflicted.

"Why is it lasting for so long?" Jormun demanded answers from Hystar. "Over than five minutes have passed and no Awakening is supposed to take that long."

They were spectating at the phenomenon from behind a mystical glass that kept the baby in Jakra's arms from hearing Thrud's screams and from witnessing her gruesome deaths.

"I'm as surprised as you are." The Headmaster replied. "None of our students had such problems, but as you know, your wife is as unique as your son."

The living legacy spoke with a familiarity that made Jormun want to puke. The Emerald Dragon punched Hystar to wipe the smug grin off his face and vent centuries of pent-up anger.

"Are you insane? It's only thanks to me that she's still alive!" The Headmaster said in outrage.

"Wrong. It's thanks to the safeguards that Arthan left behind. I did some reading while in my father's library and I know what kind of creature you are. Unless you understand what's happening, I order you to shut up!"

Hystar opened his mouth to reply, but no word came out and his body froze when he tried to return the attack. Jormun carried the same blood as the Royal heir, making him King and one of the masters of the Golden Griffon.

Arthan's slave spells forced the Headmaster to obey and to treat the Emerald Dragon as Royalty. Hystar inwardly cursed at the Mad King and swore revenge, receiving such a powerful backlash from the slave spells that his physical form disappeared.
