Chapter 1027 The Secret Tower Part 1

Nandi had preferred to side with the old witch over the Master’s offer to join the Organization that Tezka had delivered to him because Baba Yaga proposed a one-time deal, whereas the Master required long lasting fealty for some crazy-ass plan.

Now, however, the difference between the two was getting thinner by the second.

"That’s only half your job, Nandi." Nana said. "Right now, you and Phloria are two peas in a pod. Both of you have unstable bodies that only the powerful mana flow coming from the crystals keeps stable.

"The other half is to be my blueprint. I’ll use you to replicate the Master’s handiwork, to know where and how to place my blood core inside Phloria’s body.

"This will allow me to succeed on the first try. I can’t afford a trial-and-error process to understand how to make two different cores coexists. It would require many specimens whereas Phloria’s condition is almost unique.

"Only once I’m sure that the procedure is complete will I Awaken Phloria and fix your problem." Nana said. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Wait, I thought you were the reason why my sister feels better. Are you saying it’s only thanks to the crystal veins?" Friya’s anger turned into fear.

"No one, not even the Guardians can keep an Awakening from happening once it starts, yet I am the reason why your sister is still alive. I spread the gemstones for Belin to find. I sent Nandi to save you when you were doomed.

"I made sure that once Phloria’s constant use of magic triggered her Awakening, she was inside the mines instead of dying an excruciating death." Baba Yaga wore a cold smile as she revealed how everyone had danced on the palm of her hand until that moment.

"I don’t believe you. If it wasn’t for your crazy scheme, the moment my sister felt unwell, we would have called someone who knows how to help her." Quylla remembered how Lith had saved even Protector.

She firmly believed that if he really was an Awakened, he would know what to do, if not even already have several of his crazy contingency plans at the ready.

"Someone who? The Blackest Knight?" Baba Yaga chuckled. "The runt is powerful indeed, but someone who has yet to live his first century lacks both the means and the knowledge to help Phloria. No, child. I’m her only hope."

A long, fearful silence fell into the room. Be they humans, Emperor Beasts, or Returners Abominations, they all felt like prisoners waiting for their own execution.

"Don’t look at me like that. I’m no monster." Baba Yaga heard the children on their way back for dinner and was now sure that her guests had uncovered her real identity so she turned into her Mother form.

She now looked like a beautiful woman in her forties, with flaming red hair and emerald green eyes. Her voice was warm and her body exuded a reassuring aura that made her hosts feel homesick, longing to reconnect with their respective parents, even those who had long lost them or never known them.

"I’m Baba Yaga, the Red Mother, and I can be your parent as well. Quylla, Friya, once I’m done with Phloria, I can do the same for you. There is a great power slumbering inside all of you, but you need my help to become so strong that no one will ever be able to threaten your happiness.

"Nandi, even after you are cured, there are countless things that I can learn from you and you can teach to your brethren. Stay with me, help me to give birth to my children, and I promise you that I’ll make everything I can to make so that your two natures merge into one, making you whole again.

"Hybrids are just the first steps towards new races, a necessary compromise until I find a way to harmonize different kinds of life forces.
