Supreme Magus novel Chapter 953

Chapter 953 Raiders of the Lost Academy Part 1

’There’s no time for weakness. Menadion is dead and so is everyone else I knew. All the apologies in the world will not turn back time. The original Bytra was a genius as much as she was a monster, but now it’s up to me to carry her burden.

’I have people who depend on me and a second chance at life. This time, I will not let everyone down.’ Bytra thought.

"I knew you would make it!" Zoreth roared.

She was so happy that she would dance with joy if not for the too many witnesses.

"How do you feel and what about the madness?"

"I feel horrible, inside and outside. As for the madness, it’s still there but its hold over me has lessened. I don’t know if I will ever be completely free from it, but right now, I’m aware of two things. First, I’m no more a threat to my allies, and second, I’m starving." Bytra said.

"We’re done here. Let’s get you something to- What the heck?" When Zoreth folded her wings and turned around, she discovered why the members of the Red Gorgon cartel had stopped yelling for a while.

They were no longer sitting on the stands, but kneeling with their heads and hands on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Bytra asked while her hair still whipped around as if it was alive.

"We’ve witnessed the power and the mercy of the gods today." Wern spoke in a soft, deferent whisper.

He felt unworthy of speaking to the two deities, yet not answering them would have been even more disrespectful.

Bytra twirled her forefinger at her temple, suggesting that their guests had gone mad.

"The Shadow Dragon clan swears its undying loyalty to you, my liege. Our lives are yours to take."

"Shadow Dragon clan? Gods? Now I understand why Dad stays cooped up in the castle all day." Zoreth told Bytra with an air spell, to not let anyone else hear her.

"And you dared say that you’re not beautiful. You’re a god now." Bytra giggled in reply.

"You’ll never let me hear the end of this, don’t you?" Zoreth said with a sigh.

"Nope. Now invite me to dinner. We have many things to celebrate tonight."
