SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"By the way, why did you come here in the first place?" Kent, who is leaning on the room door, asked Maya with a questioning glance.

"I came to help you." Maya replied without moving her wrapped arms around his back.

"What do you mean?" Kent, who felt surprised by her response, asked with a questioning look.

"I was there in the Arena when you were fighting. I saw Zi Chen challenging you for a dual. It is definitely an unfair matchup, as your opponent is a realm higher than you. That's why I came here to help you with tomorrow's battle. Wait…!" Maya, who is speaking with Kent while leaning in his embrace, hurriedly moved back in surprise.

"What happened?" Kent asked, perplexed by her sudden response.

"You cultivation…?!!! When did you become a peak master magus? Yesterday in the Arena, your cultivation is only a level 1 master magus. How did you level up four sublevels in one night?" Maya stood before Kent with a wide, open mouth. She is utterly shocked by the rise in Kent's cultivation.

Till now, Kent also didn't notice the sudden rise in his cultivation base. He immediately checked his fourth chakra, which is filled to the brim. Also, his aura quality changed into more pure and dense.

"Kent, by any chance, do you use any forbidden methods to raise your cultivation? Even though winning a decisive fight in the Arena is important, you shouldn't spoil your cultivation base for that." Maya continued to lecture Kent in a worried tone, thinking that Kent had used unconventional means to raise his cultivation for tomorrow's fight.

"Wait, you are thinking too much. I just encountered a fruitful encounter. My cultivation base is very stable, and you can check my condition if you want. Also, I'm not an idiot to spoil my cultivation for a show-off. So, stop worrying about me." Kent replied in a calm tone while holding her hands.

But Maya didn't believe his words. But after witnessing his pure aura, she stooped, doubting him.

"By the way, how did your aura become more pure than mine? My mother used several rare treasures to improve the quality of my aura. But your aura is several times more pure than mine." Maya asked with a questioning look, wondering what fruitful encounter Kent received.

"It's all a big secret. I will tell you when the time comes. So, stop asking me questions and tell me what you brought to help me in the fight." Kent asked while pulling her towards the sofa.

A smile appeared on Maya's face as she saw, how Kent holding her hand and dragging her towards the sofa like a close person.

"Here… look at this. It is superior-quality body armor made of evolved fire lizard scales. It can withstand the attacks of a mortal sovereign. My mother paid a large sum to get this from the Wizard Association's annual auction. Do you like it?" Maya asked while placing red, crimson-colored body armor, which contains layers of lizard scales.

Kent ran his finger over the armor and infused his aura into it. The ash-colored flames danced on top, and the amor glowed in a crimson-red color. "This is really nice. But I can't accept it. It is too valuable, and I can't imagine how your mother reacts if something happens to this."

Kent tried to give it back. But Maya pushed the armor back into Kent's hand. "Your life is more important to me than this armor. Also, you don't need to feel guilty about taking things from me. Do you forget your promise of finding an antidote for the yearly poison of my sect? We are helping each other.

So, accept whatever I gave you without saying no. Here, hold this crown." Maya pushed another item into Kent's hand.

Kent, who failed to convince Maya, accepted things from her helplessly. His gaze landed on the golden crown in his hands. A small idol of the demigod Guru is inscribed on the top layer of that golden crown.

"What's the use of this?" Kent asked with a questioning look.

"This crown contains the blessing of Demi God Guru, who is the teacher of gods. If you wear this, your thoughts will be clear during the fight, and the time you need to cast a spell will be reduced by a lot.

Sadly, these are the only good things I have with me. Even though there are some better ones, people will find them as poison sect items with one glance. If not for Arena rules, I might have brought you hundreds of poison arrows for you." Maya spoke in a dissatisfied tone while moving close to Kent.

"These two treasures are already a big help for me. Don't bother about other things. By the way, did you bring the poison pills used by your father to control the sect?" Kent asked with a curious look.

"Yes… It is also one of the reasons I came to see you. Here, I hope these ten pills are enough." Maya stretched her hand and took out a dark wooden box from her storage ring.

As she opened the bow carefully, Kent saw ten dark pills neatly placed in sockets. Kent observed the pills for a long time before placing the box inside his storage bracelet.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a cure for this poison. My aunt will definitely help me." Kent replied in a promising tone while holding her palm.

Time passed slowly, and Maya continued to share a few other things with Kent while leaning her head on his shoulder. As the guardian began rising on the side, Maya stood up to take a leave.

"God, how could I forget this? Kent, didn't I mention the ritual of poisons in my sect? It's going to happen on this lunar day, which is 13 days away from now. That day, you must come to the poison sect." Maya said excitedly while walking out of Kent's residence.

"What's so special about it?" Kent asked with a curious look.

"It's surprise. You will definitely gain good benefits if you come there." Maya replied with a mysterious smile while mounting Fire Kirin with the help of Kent's arm.
