Chapter 1983 Threat

"Who the hell are you?! Such arrogance!" exclaimed one of the magus emissaries, their expressions betraying a mix of shock and indignation. Another emissary turned a gaze toward Queen Soonhee, who appeared as surprised as he did. In reply the emissary shifted his gaze to Kasim, the sole magus of the Alvanic Kingdom, saying, "Don't blame me for this!"

Without hesitation, the emissary launched a powerful lightning punch at Emery. To his astonishment, Emery was able to block the attack.

"A magus!" he exclaimed, realizing that there was another magus present, and a young one at that. The other two emissaries shared in the revelation.

"Huh, a new moon and an old magus don't scare us!" declared one emissary, attempting to mask his unease. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Emery, maintaining his composure, wore a quiet smile. If he hadn't concealed his true strength, the three crescent moon magus would likely have fled in fear. With measured confidence, Emery calmly stated, "Did you say... two magus? Guess again."

To the emissaries' astonishment, another figure materialized, walking toward the throne with a thunderous voice that echoed through the hall.

"You three dare to come and make trouble in my home,"

It was none other than the supposedly ill King Jongsuk. Contrary to the information provided, the king not only displayed robust health but also exhibited magus-level strength.

The sudden appearance of the king prompted concern from Queen Soohee. "Father... you shouldn't be here... your health—" "Huh!! I am healthy enough to kick these three out of here!" King Jongsuk interjected, dismissing his daughter's worries with a confident wave of his hand.

The emissaries, now facing not one but three magus, found themselves in an unexpected predicament. In a moment of hesitation, they took a step back, only to realize that the young, arrogant magus was already standing behind them, undetected. The emissaries, seething with rage, departed the Alvanic Kingdom with their entourage. The whole 10,000-strong army, a looming threat that had cast a shadow over the subterranean domain, began to march away from the Alvanic outskirts through the snowy plains.

"What are you doing!! Do you dare to attack an emissary? Do that, and you will become the enemy of the whole six kingdoms!" one of the emissaries warned.

A few quickly agreed out of fear, their apprehension evident in the furrowed brows and uneasy glances they exchanged. Some, unsure of the reliability of the information, hesitated in expressing their stance. Others outright rejected the idea, considering it unwise, especially since trust among the magus was a rare commodity, with some being more untrustworthy compared to the Alvanic.

In a surprising turn of events, Emery arrived unannounced at the meeting, using a spatial gate to bring King Jongsuk and Magus Kasim alongside him. The sudden appearance of the trio alarmed the assembled magus. Emery, maintaining his calm demeanor, remarked,

"A meeting between magus but not inviting us... this is not nice at all."

One of the strongest magus, a burly half-moon magus, rose to his feet, ready to display his strength. However, with a simple gesture, Emery effortlessly compelled him back to his seat.

"Gravity spell!!"

The rest who resisted found themselves similarly restrained by an unseen force, leaving the magus assembly in a state of momentary shock.

"You... you are not just a half-moon... who are you?!"

Emery, maintaining his calm demeanor, responded, "I will tell you all about me shortly. For now, I want to ask your opinion about uniting the seven kingdoms."

"What!? No! Never!" Four of the ten magus quickly rejected the idea, seemingly resigned to face whatever consequences lay ahead. Emery, however, calmly remarked,

"Good... honesty is the first step of trust." With a simple gesture of his hand, four more spatial gates opened, each revealing one of Emery's powerful allies. The intimidating presence of these reinforcements further unsettled the magus.

With a subtle smile, Emery continued, "I am optimistic that you all will eventually see reason."

The dance of diplomacy, persuasion, and the dynamics of power played out within the confines of the meeting chamber, setting the stage for the future of the seven kingdoms.
