Supreme Magus novel Chapter 265

Whole constellations moved at unison like each second was an hour, until a fake sun appeared on the horizon making the right return in the room.

The spectators congratulated her with a thunderous applause.

"Kyla Dornar, the battle goddess."

Lith was already bored when he felt someone tugging at his arm. He turned around to discover it was Phloria. He was about to whisper a greeting, but she was faster.

"Kiss me like you miss me." Aside from Friya that was standing right next to them, everyone was so caught in the performance that no one noticed the deep, passionate kiss she gave him.

Lith had the impression she had just sucked the air out of his lungs and maybe even tasted his tonsil.

Phloria only let him go when the applause marking the end of the performance resounded. Lith could finally take a proper look at her. She wore a silk-satin red evening dress and white evening gloves, emphasizing her olive colored skin due to the prolonged exposure to the sun.

It was skin tight, with a neckline that somehow exerted a push-up effect. Her hair had grown even longer, allowing Phloria to braid them into tresses that were knotted, twisted, and tied back in an intricate headpiece, complete with pearls and fabrics.

’ Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer.’ Lith couldn’t avoid remembering an old Earth’s song.

’Well, she definitely got the look.’ Solus giggled. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Before they could exchange a single word, Lith got called to the center stage.

"Lith of Lutia, the eye of god and maker of wonders." The whole room gasped in surprise, Lith included. No one else had received two titles and him being the third ranker made it even more amazing.

Not even most second rankers would receive a title.

’It seems that Vastor wasn’t kidding when he said that the light and forgemastering department were quite pissed off at Linjos for the rankings. Usually I wouldn’t like so much attention, but tonight it’s different.’ He thought with a smirk.

"Thanks for your kind introduction, dear Marchioness. I hope you all realize that at this point, there isn’t much I can do without boring you with a rerun of what my peers already did. So, to spice things up I’m going to try something different, but I need an assistant."

He turned around the room pretending to be searching for the right person.

"You." He pointed his finger at Phloria.

"Would you do me the honor of accompanying me in this feat?" Lith extended his hand to her. Phloria was dazed for a second, embarrassed by all the eyes on her, before stepping forward to take Lith’s hand.

"Thanks. Now just follow my lead." Lith walked toward the nearest wall, leaving some of the guests confused and most of them disappointed.

Once they arrived in front of the wall, Lith didn’t stop walking, stepping on it. Phloria didn’t understand what was happening and neither did most of the guests. The others were either chocking on their drinks or inwardly cursing at him.

’Son of a...’ The Marchioness was among the latter.

’I asked him for a distraction and some ruckus. This is going to turn into a riot if I don’t handle it properly.’

"Do you trust me?" Lith said with a smile, seeing that Phloria was hesitant. In response to the question, she immediately stepped forward discovering that her foot was now effortlessly stuck to the wall.

Lith then resumed walking, accompanied by her until they were standing upside down on the ceiling.

As it was apparent ever since their first vertical step, it wasn’t a flight or float spell. Otherwise the coats of Lith’s suit and Phloria’s gown would be falling toward the ground, making the situation quite embarrassing, especially for Phloria.
