Chapitre 15: 15. Mama Is Too Strong.

Orion was rendered speechless after hearing what his mother just uttered from her lips.

Meanwhile, Evelyn noticed the shocked look on her baby's face. "Hmm? Baby? Is something wrong?"

"You are friends with the Queen of the Dead and The Phantom Empress?" Orion asked, still finding it hard to believe that his mother was friends with such powerful people.

"Yes, I am. I am also friends with some of the strongest mages in the realm as well."

"Ugh," Orion rubbed his forehead.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

So much information was being fed to his mind at a fast rate and he couldn't process everything at the same time, especially since his body was still physically that of a two-year-old.

A few minutes ago before his mother returned from her meeting, he heard his Aunt saying a few things about The Queen Of The Dead, who was also known as The Queen of mummies.

She was without a doubt the strongest of the three undead mages and she caused a lot of mayhem and destruction during the duration of the war. So to suddenly hear that his mother and the queen of the dead were actually friends was something he could have never imagined.

'Well, I guess Mama should be friends with them rather than enemies.'

'I wouldn't want to live in a world where war would be the norm once again, and with those three mages being my enemies.'

'Right now, I just want to live a happy and tranquil life with Mama and Aunt Elena.'

'But if Mama is friends with them, then it means she must be pretty strong, right?'

'After all, the denizens of this world like to respect those with power and I can't imagine them being friends with Mama unless she was almost as strong as them or even equally as strong as them.'

'Mama said before the alliance was formed, she had already been in Rank 23.'

'She was in the same rank as that of the other strong mages across the other six kingdoms.'

'Maybe now she's already in Rank 24 like the undead mages, which is probably why she is now friends with them,' Orion concluded in his thoughts but because he knew he could never really know the truth unless he asked his mother, he decided to ask Evelyn.

"Mama?"

"What is it dear?"

"Are you still an Overlord Mage or you've ranked up to a Malevolent Mage, just like the three Undead Mages!"

Rank 23 mages were called Overlord Mages while Rank 24 mages were called Malevolent Mages.

Hearing Orion's words, Evelyn chuckled and pat his head. "Fufufu..... Baby, it's been a decade since the war ended, of course, Mama has ranked higher than both Overlord and Malevolent Mage ranks."

"You have?" Orion hurriedly sat up on the bed with a surprised look on his face. "So, what rank are you now, Mama?"

Evelyn sat up with Orion as well before answering his question. "Mama is now an 'Apex Mage' the current highest mage ranking."

Orion's eyes flew wide open and he collapsed on the bed. Elena had told him the ranking list already but to hear that his mother was already in the highest rank, this had to be a dream right?

Seeing this, Evelyn chuckled to herself. "What's wrong, baby?"

"I give up."

"Huh? What do you mean?" She asked while stroking his hair.

"Mama is too strong, there's no way I'll be able to reach your rank."

Evelyn chuckled once again after hearing Orion's words. "Is that why you wanna give up?"

"Yes," Orion nodded his head and folded his arms as he stared at the ceiling of Evelyn's bedroom.

Evelyn smiled and lay on the bed beside Orion before whispering into his ear. "Well, do you want Mama to tell you a secret?"

"A secret?" Orion's interest was piqued.

"Yes, dear," Evelyn replied. "Do you know that as an Apex Mage, mama has a never-ending lifespan?

Orion's eyes widened after hearing Evelyn's words. "What are you trying to say, Mama?"

"Mama is saying that even though I'm an Apex Mage, there are still more ranks above mine that are yet to be discovered."

"Really?" Orion's eyes sparkled as he sensed that there might still be a chance for him to become as strong as his mother or maybe even stronger.

"Yes dear," Evelyn smiled and bobbed his cute little nose. "Now, imagine how amazing it would feel if both of us were to be in the same rank together. We'll both have a never-ending lifespan together with your Auntie in the future.....hehe,"

Orion began to imagine what his mother was trying to say and a smile appeared on his lips.

"But baby will have to focus on becoming a rank one mage first so that you will have an additional hundred years added to your life span."

"I will?"

"Yes, you will, your life span increases, the higher you rank up as well. So you see, you will have more than enough time to become as strong as Mama or maybe even stronger, but this means Mama will have to work harder as well...fufu."

Orion smiled and noticed something his mother had subtly avoided mentioning.

"Mama? What is the name of the rank above an Apex Mage rank?"

Evelyn smiled and kissed Orion on his forehead. "Mama promises to tell you when the time is right, for now, baby needs to focus on becoming a rank one mage. Can you do that for me?" Evelyn smiled with a beautiful smile on her face.

Orion was mesmerized by her smile.

There was no doubt about it, his mother was just too beautiful.

"Yes, mama, I will," Orion replied and Evelyn smiled even wider.

"But what about the other mages and the undead mages, is mama stronger than them now or are they stronger than you now?"

"Every one of us is in the same rank, and that's why we all know that there are still more ranks that are yet to be discovered."

Orion nodded his head in understanding and pondered about how it would feel to be called the strongest mage of all.

However, while he was thinking about this, he suddenly recalled something about a certain race who had nowhere else to call home after the celestial realm was destroyed.

"Mama? What happened to the fallen angels?"
