Chapter 374: Phaius
He is coming.
Max’s eyes opened as he stood, the sensation of the room changing slightly.
Power flowed within the crystal lines on the floor, and a pulsing purple light flashed half a dozen times.
Then it stopped, and a purple portal formed from floor to ceiling.
From the other side, Phaius strode through, his eyes locked on Max the moment he could see him.
“I wondered… the summon seemed out of place, and yet I hoped. Well done, Max, well done.”
His outfit was the same flowing robes, and Phaius’s muscles rippled everywhere cloth didn’t cover them. Yet his eyes were purple, almost matching the portal he had walked through and had just vanished through.
“I didn’t want to cause problems like last time, and I figured they had a way to summon or contact you. Thankfully, I was right.”
The tiniest smile showed for a moment before the god moved to where Max was and held out a hand.
