Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048 Harbingers Part 2

"I need you because I’m lost. There are countless places and jobs on Mogar, yet not a single one where I fit. I want to find my place in this world, but I feel like I’ve hit a wall that I can’t overcome alone.

"I’m one of the few Dimensional Mages of the Kingdom." Friya performed her Dimensional Ruler spell and showed Faluel its prowess.

"I’m willing to take my sister’s same oath, teach you every one of my secrets and share with you what I’ll discover in the future. I’m even willing to become your Harbinger." Her offer made Faluel’s stone face crumble and her eyes open wide.

While Quylla had practiced her Light Mastery non-stop during the last few days to impress the Hydra, Friya had studied everything about Dragons and lesser Dragons the Ernas library had to offer.

’Once again, I’m the Vastor of our group. To not be left behind, I can’t let pride burden me. I must risk it all.’ She thought.

"Your offer is quite alluring. No one ever offered to become the Harbinger of a lesser Dragon. Having one would make me the first of my kind and an object of envy of my peers, but do you realize the implications of your offer, child?" Faluel said.

The children of the Guardians had many unique abilities that other Emperor Beasts didn’t possess. They would live over one thousand years even without Awakening, they possessed incredibly powerful bodies, and their mana core would never stop developing over time.

Yet long lives were also bound to be filled with loneliness and betrayal. Those weaker than them would covet their power while those stronger would live in fear that once a Guardian’s child achieved Awakening, they would be unstoppable.

Dragons, Phoenixes, Griffons, and even their lesser cousins, could bestow part of their essence to a member of any other race that didn’t share Guardian’s blood and turn them in their Harbinger.

This way, the Guardian’s children could secure their lover, obtain a lifelong friend, or simply an emissary in the outside world to deal with their business and properties without ever being forced to leave the safety of their homes.

It was a master-servant relationship that could be broken only with the death of either of them and it had several implications.

The Harbinger would be granted a lifespan similar to that of their master, their body enhanced by the Guardian’s blood, and they would obtain knowledge and equipment in exchange for their lifelong servitude.

The bond created by the ritual was so strong that they could always find each other and open a mind link, no matter the distance. All of this, however, came at a price.

The Harbinger could never disobey their master because their bodies wouldn’t be completely their own anymore and if angered, the master could seal the Harbinger’s mana core as long as they wanted.

In the case the master died, the Harbinger would immediately follow whereas a Harbinger’s death would only cause temporary pain to their master. On top of that, because of the physical and spiritual bond they shared, the Emperor Beast could read the mind of their Harbinger at will.

A Harbinger couldn’t keep any secret from their master and the moment doubt or treachery seeped their mind they would be immediately killed.

On the other hand, their bond wasn’t a slave ring. The Harbinger couldn’t disobey a direct order, but could work around them and find loopholes to make a mission fail or information leak.
