บท 1265: Supremacy

Three captives?

That was the thought that came to Emery's mind when he heard the minister's words.

After all, that could only indicate the two newly-captured magus as well as Annara herself had accused the Zodiac City's king of being the one behind the dreadful incident. 

Hearing such an accusation, the usually calm King Alduin promptly turned emotional and with it, the powerful pressure of a Supreme Magus – the highest echelon of human limit – burst from the man's figure like a surging tsunami, causing everyone's breath to be cut short. 

Even though the magus and grand magus who escorted the minister were not weak, their hearts still skipped a beat and their knees buckled towards the ground.

"You people dare to think I'm involved in this?" asked King Alduin to the minister in a calm tone. Yet despite the calmness he showed, one could clearly feel the emotions and profound strength hidden within.
