Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2068

Chapter 2068 A New Magus (Part 2)

"If any of you still wonders if Magus Verhen did the right thing hiding the truth from us, history has already given you the answer. People called him a monster because he succeeded where they had failed.

"They called him a beast as if it was something to be ashamed of, forgetting that humans are nothing but a kind of particularly cunning beasts. Yet it's thanks to those beasts we were afraid of that we have the luxury to celebrate here today."

The images showed the magical beasts of Lutia fighting alongside the Queen's Corps to protect the citizens of the city from the undead and then the Emperor Beasts who fought side by side with the soldiers on the frontlines.

"The Crown has turned Magus Verhen's beast species into a second name because it's something that he should be proud of.

"Both his Magus title and this new branch of magic are named after his Voidfeather Dragon form to remind everyone that he has more than one aspect and that the Kingdom is ready to embrace them all.

"There is no shame in being different and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong. It's the diversity of Thrud's forces that made her unstoppable until we did the same.

The images now showed the fight outside Belius between Lith and Iata, Solus and Leari, Faluel shielding Varegrave's soldiers with her body and then rescuing them from death.

"We have chosen to use Magus Verhen's Tiamat name when we introduced him today because it's a sign of the Royal Court acknowledging all of his successes no matter if he achieved them as a human or a beast.

"We all should be thanking him for his sacrifices on the battlefield and his renewed efforts in developing our country. Magus Verhen could have easily achieved a peaceful life by staying in the safety of the Desert.

"Yet he chose to return among us and take care of problems that no longer were his own."

Sylpha stepped forward and patted Lith's left shoulder, then the right, and finally the top of his head with the flat side of Saefel's sword. White light erupted from the blade, bouncing from one Royal Fortress armor to another and forming a pillar akin to that of a world tribulation.

The deep violet of the mage robe turned to pristine white, leaving all those present dumbfounded.

"For the first time in the history of the Griffon Kingdom, today we are crowning a Magus who not only shared with us the gift of knowledge, but who also took the destiny of our country in his hands. For this reason, the title of Void Mogus isn't enough.

"I hereby bestow upon you, Lith Tiamat Verhen, the title of Supreme Magus of the Griffon Kingdom. Something that even in the future might only be matched but never surpassed!" Queen Sylpha said.

At those words, the four Royal Guards surrounding Lith turned toward Lith and raised their swords to the sky in salute.

"All hail the Supreme Magus!" They said in unison as the array paralyzing the crowd disappeared, allowing the chant to spread to Lith's friends and family first, then his allies, and after a few seconds of incredulous stupor, to the whole room.

'Not bad.' Fyrwal used a mind link to talk with her daughter while her mouth joined the choir. 'Unlike us, your disciple had the guts to walk the Royal Palace in his true form.

'On top of that, he just achieved for our race not just the title of Magus, he had one tailor-made for him. Did you two…' She let the last part linger in expectation.

'No, Mom. We didn't.' The younger Hydra blushed yet her mouth kept chanting.

'Shame. Is he married?' Fyrwal asked.

'Yes, he is.'

"I think that I speak for everyone when I say that after being struck in the same place for so long, you need to stretch your legs a bit. Let the celebrations begin!" At a wave of his hand, one of the dimensional formations stretched the Banquet Hall to trice its original size. _{freёwebnovel.com}
