Chapter 25: Magus Daphne
"This is getting boring, Xavier."
The other young man said to Xavier as he shook his head in disappointment.
"Hmph!"
Xavier snorted at Henry's words and anger seethed between his brows.
His lips already chanting incantations.
In the next moment, minute lightning crackled from between his gloved fingers.
The air trembled as arcane energy gathered and formed. Nodes began connecting in midair, forming the spell model as a spell circle appeared, stabilizing the arcane spell.
Instantly, a lightning whip was generated, extending out as it crackled in mid-air.
The lighting whip this time was several times powerful. The whip was the size of an adult's arm and the moment the top touched the ground, the ground turned red as though turning to magma.
Xavier lifted his hand, the lightning whip flipped backwards, releasing a booming sound as the top broke through several sound barriers, producing sonic booms.
"In your next life, you will be more obedient to your masters."
In the next moment, Xavier grinned coldly as he struck the lightning whip at Sethra's skull.
There was no doubt Sethra's skull would immediately explode into a pieces of the attack struck her.
It was the same brutal move Xavier used in Tron. However, it was even more powerful this time.
The lightning fried the molecules in the air as the whip moved in an arc. The moment the lightning whip was about to hit Sethra, Xavier's eyes immediately changed.
A scorching ball of flames flew through the air with the speed of a bullet and struck towards him.
"BOOM!"
Raging flames exploded everywhere like rain as remnants splashed in all directions.
A thin barrier had immediately appeared before Xavier the ball of flames hit him, sending the flames in all directions.
The acolytes behind Xavier also used their defensive spells, preventing the spells from touching him.
"Who!?"
Xavier was boiling mad with anger. He had almost died from the fire ball attack.
But as the magic spell model destabilized and the mana cleared to the surroundings, his vision focused, the person in front of him gave him a scare. He hurriedly greeted, "Food morning Mage Daphne. Why are you here?"
Tron had not thought the supervisor of the slave manor would actually appear. She was still as pretty as the last time he saw her.
Although the other two girls were beauties, compared to Magus Daphne, whether in terms of looks or bearing, they were like specks of star dust compared to the true sun.
A light fragrance that stirred one's heart.
"The slave manor is my territory to supervise." Magus Daphne stated frostily. She waved. "Xavier and you three, you've caused multiple incidents in my territory time and time again, hindering other servant from guiding the stead of the other acolytes. I do not want to see you near this area anymore."
Xavier frowned in displeasure, "Mage Daphne, they are just slaves without talents. I..."
"If they are slaves, then he's a slave working under me . If there should be punishment, it will not come from you," Magus Daphne said.
Her voice were simple and not raised. But the pressure she emitted forced everyone's head down!
It wasn't a pressure from her time but a pressure similar to a tiger to a cat, a power that was difficult to deny. In the acolyte eyes, she was a true mage, who could turn stone to gold and knew the wisdom behind the creation of the universe.
The four were in a bad mood but didn't dare voice out their complaints.
Xavier took a deep breath and faced the Supervisor , stating clearly, "Mage Daphne, my younger brother Calvin is 14 this year. He is already a Rank 2 Magus. Such talent eclipses even yours back in the day, doesn't it?"
From beside, the red-clothed girl said, "It's said that The Old One is waiting for Calvin to fully carve his Arcane Cortex before taking him as his core student. At that time, his status will be no lower than you, Magus Daphne."
The Old One was only second to the Arch Magus!
Magus Daphne's cherry lips curves onto a smile "Are you trying to threaten me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I was just saying." Xavier smiled coldly.
He then turned toward the others, "Let's go." They started walking towards the academy. As they left, Xavier gazed turned to Tron's face.
Looks were exchanged.
"Hm?!" Xavier was stunned and he almost stumbled. Tron's killing intent was so overwhelming he could feel his body turn cold.
"It must be the Magus up to her tricks." He could not believe that this was Tron's.
"Calvin? At 14? And already a Rank 2 Magus?" Magus Daphne turned back to look at Tron and Sethra, although her mind was already on other matters. She disappeared in the blink of an eye as though she had never been there.
"Many thanks to the Magus!" Even after being severely injured and slapped, Sethra hurriedly scrambled to her knees and thanked her.
This time around, they were indeed saved by the Magus' help, and even Tron was grateful. If he could help it, he didn't want Sethra to die so carelessly.
As for Xavier, it as only matter of time before he returns the humiliation a thousand times.
"14 years old, and a Rank-2 Magus!"
But thinking of this Calvin , Tron was slightly stunned. Sethra had trained all her life but wasn't even an acolyte. Yet a 14 year old boy was already a Rank 2 Magus. It was definitely disheartening.
Who would have thought that someone at age 14 would already be a terrifying existence.
"Are you alright?" Tron immediately went forward and held Sethra's body up. The dagger was still embedded deep in her belly. Thankfully, there wasn't much blood spilling out.
"Y-yeah, I am aright." Sethra smiled awkwardly. Sweat dripping down her pale face as she smiled.
"It's good you were able to hold you self back this time, I'm proud of you." She whispered in his ears.
Tron's face changed slightly. If only she knew he wasn't planing in intervening in the least, he wasn't sure what she would think.
He managed to give her a smile while retrieving a bottle from his pocket.
