Chapter 1100 Mourning the Dead Part 2

On top of that, such an operation surely involved enough manpower and firepower to take down Lith along with known associates in the case something went wrong.

’I bet that the plan was to make Kamila die in my arms and then exploit my grief to lure me into a trap by mentioning that my family was next. That way, I would have let the culprits run away and been so shaken to not think properly.

’At that point, killing me would have been a joke. The ambush in Assar would have worked like clockwork if not for my recent breakthrough and for Faluel’s lessons.

’Whoever is behind the attack, they know everything about me until the moment I quit the army. Which means they ignore what happened in the mines and in the Council. I hate to strike deals with unknown devils, but desperate times require desperate measure.’ Lith thought while taking a small card out of his dimensional pocket.

He passed it over the communication amulet akin to a contactless credit card, allowing runes to be exchanged.

"You picked a bad moment to call, little brother. I’m busy and also pissed off at you for ignoring me for so- " Xenagrosh’s voice sounded clear despite the sounds of death and destruction coming from the background and so did Lith’s when he cut her short.

It took him precious moments to bring her up to speed and request her help, but judging from her face and eyes wide open, it was worth it. Lith had never seen a Dragon turn pale until that day.

"I’ll be there at Dragonspeed. Move that ass, you moron." Xenagrosh said while looking elsewhere as if she wasn’t even talking to Lith.

’It seems that Dragons value their family even more than Beasts do. I didn’t expect her to agree to help without strings attached. Fuck, why did I let Jakra go? I could use a gigantic emerald Dragon!’ Lith opened one Warp Steps after the other, hoping to reach Lutia in time. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Rena’s house, at the same time when Lith had been attacked.

After the house’s renovation, Zekell Proudhammer could afford a small inner garden to give his granddaughter Leria a place where to play with her friends or with the swing that his uncle Lith had built for her.

He would have never expected that a Ghoul would use it as an access point to lead a small strike team inside the house without anyone from the outside noticing.

The ground rippled akin to the surface of a lake disturbed by a falling leave and a beautiful woman came out of it with her white dress still pristine. White Ladies were the best to deal with children and magical protections alike.

Born from the corpse of a woman who had killed her own children before committing suicide, White Ladies were capable of using only two elements, water and darkness. They needed to feed on the life force of children and they extracted it by drowning them.

To do that, White Ladies could lure and charm their victims so that they would be the ones opening the way for them. Children were easily swayed by nature and a White Lady’s ability to speak and look like any child’s mother made their Mesmerize ability unstoppable.

"Come to me, my baby. Mommy is so cold tonight and needs your help, Leria." Even though the two women had never met, Jolia’s voice sounded identical to Rena’s.

The White Lady’s whisper was infused with both life force and willpower, making it capable of being heard only by its intended target as long as they were in the ability’s range.
