Magus Supremacy - Chapter 182
Chapter 182: Choose a leader!
Chapter 182
The team was seen flying on a huge wind bird, heading for the dungeon said to have appeared across the town’s border. The dungeon was located on the borderline of Velzoria—the kingdom Grey was in.
It sat right on the border between Velzoria and another kingdom, so they needed to get there as soon as possible before the other kingdom had a chance to arrive and claim the artifacts.
Just as Bronze Land was another world where Randin and the other dwarves lived, Arondale was another world or continent where Grey and the other mages lived. On this continent, there were three kingdoms, one of which was Velzoria.
The others were Drakesville and the Clover Kingdom. These three kingdoms constantly fought for supremacy, though they all remained wary of Velzoria’s emperor due to the tremendous power he wielded.
That was the only reason they hadn’t attacked Velzoria—they were lying low for now.
But with the dungeon lying on the border between Velzoria and Drakesville, time was of the essence. They needed to raid the dungeon before Drakesville’s forces arrived.
“Can’t this shitty wind bird go any faster?!” Dante shouted in anger.
“If you don’t like the speed, get off. Mind you, I’m not stopping—you’ll have to jump,” Grey commented coldly, still staring outward.
“Shit! This place is stuffy and tight,” Lyra grumbled.
“Maybe you shouldn’t have brought two floating balloons over,” Grey added, and the group chuckled.
“You do know I’m your senior, right? Your words might cost you a lot,” Lyra said, glaring at him.
“Too bad I’m a peasant who can’t afford much anyway, so let it be costly,” Grey replied with a shrug.
“Guys! Enough of this. Let’s focus on the mission and formulate a plan,” Selene interjected.
“Wouldn’t it be best to choose a leader? Someone who can properly lead the team,” Scarlet suggested.
“Right! And since we’re your seniors, the leader has to be one of us,” Kael added, pushing his glasses up his face.
“It’s not a must that you guys lead. There are some good leaders here too,” Greg said with a frown.
“Do you want to disobey your seniors?” Dante asked, mana swirling around his hands. It was pure mana—known to be quite destructive. But then, Grey grabbed his wrist.
“Don’t you dare,” he said, glaring while Dante tried to pull his hand away.
“How dare you touch me?! I’ll show you your place!” Dante shouted.
‘Now’s my time to show Charlotte how manly and strong I am compared to this weakling,’ he thought with a smirk.
Earth spikes began to form beside him, and he was about to launch them when suddenly, Grey blurred and appeared behind him.
“I told you—don’t you dare,” Grey said calmly before slamming his palm into Dante’s head, sending him plummeting off the wind bird.
“Grey! What did you do?! He’s going to die!” Raze shouted, heart leaping out of his chest.
“No, he won’t,” Grey replied, and the bird suddenly sped after Dante with tremendous speed. The wind bit at their faces as the bird dived. At the last moment, Dante landed on its back as it swooped beneath him.
“How dare you attack your senior?!” Kael shouted, seeing that Dante was slightly dazed.
“Kael, stop it,” Charlotte ordered. “And you, Grey—you went too far with that.”
“Tch. As if I care,” Grey said, walking away.
“Uhm… we have no problem with you guys leading, as long as no more fights break out,” Vince said.
“In that case, Dante will lead, since he’s always led our team on missions,” Lyra shrugged. Hearing his name, Dante finally regained his senses and glared at Grey’s back.

‘I’ll make him pay… He’ll pay for humiliating me like that. And I know the perfect way… After all, deaths in dungeons aren’t punished,’ Dante smirked, eyes fixed on Grey.
“We’re here,” Grey announced. The wind bird hovered above the ground.
Below them was a partly destroyed temple-like structure buried under vines and moss, with weathered statues lining the sides.
Ahead, the temple-like dungeon stood partly on the border, marked by a large, wide river.
Descending slowly and cautiously, the wind bird vanished as the team stood before a steel-reinforced door, hearts pounding loudly.
“Before we go in, I need to make some things clear,” Dante said. “As your leader and senior, I expect you to trust my judgment and follow my lead. This isn’t our first dungeon raid—we know what to expect.”
“Right. Our first dungeon raid with a bunch of weaklings, though,” Kael added, pushing his glasses up again. “Wait—I just remembered. Which one of you beat up Dave?”
The question struck a chord with the second-years. A few months back, a rumor had circulated that the eldest son of Captain Amir had been beaten up by a first-year.
As the question hung in the air, all eyes naturally turned to Grey. He remained indifferent, but the second-years took notice.
‘Did he? Was he the one who beat up Dave? How? How is that possible?’ Dante thought.
‘I knew I sensed a weird, powerful aura from him… Is he really the one?’ Selene mused, eyeing Grey.
‘Whatever! I’ll still get my revenge,’ Dante thought.
“Are we going in, or are we just going to stand here?” Jay asked.
“One more thing,” Dante added. “Be careful in there. You could get lost and never be found… or maybe, it’s only your body that will be.”
His gaze lingered ominously on Grey.
“This guy gives me the creeps,” Noir muttered.
“All right, without further ado, let’s go in,” Dante said as they prepared to step into a dangerous place.
