The Legendary Mage novel Chapter 256

Another possibility dawned on him – Alavin might have already entered the ancient ruins!

“This is the first time I’ve seen the Commander unleash his power. It’s so strong,” Alavin marveled at the celestial lights. The eight streams of light, like mighty rivers, intertwined in the sky, converging into a path that reached the heavens. Such divine might, such energy, it was like a god looking down upon all – a stark contrast to the Commander he usually saw.

He was a mere mortal and a celestial being. The sensation was entirely different.

Mariela said, "Of course, the Commander is strong. The Commanders of the Eight Orders of the Northlands are the pinnacle of power in the Northlands, all above Archmage Stage V. At their level, they can control their aura at will. Normally, they seem casual, but in battle, they possess the power to move mountains and divert rivers. Give it to me straight, what exactly are you planning?"

Alavin replied with an easy smile, "Just admiring the scene, broadening my horizons, nothing more."

"Don't take me for a fool!"

"Well, actually, being a foolish woman isn't so bad."

Godfred chuckled quietly, discreetly moving away to give them some space.

Mariela sternly reminded Alavin, "The bigger the commotion, the more likely things will spiral out of control. Don't play with fire and get burned!"

Alavin grinned and winked. "Are you worried about me?"

Mariela remained as cool as ever. "Are you flirting with me?"

Alavin opened his mouth to respond but found himself at a loss for words.

"Speak up!" Mariela couldn't hold back any longer.

"I have it under control. I just asked them to lend a hand, and no one will get hurt."

Mariela was sensitive. “Lend a hand with what?”

“You’ll see in a few days. Just bear with it a bit longer, I can assure you no one will get hurt.”

“Your assurance? You haven’t even been to the Ancient Kingdom, and the Chained Spirit within you hasn’t either. How much do you know about the Ancient Kingdom to make such a promise?”

“Huh, you do have a point.”
