Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1152

Chapter 1152 State of Sorrow Part 2

Nalrond refused to believe that Mogar could be playing such a cruel joke on him and took flight to reach the distant source of those painful signs of life. He didn’t care about leaving the others behind nor about them yelling for an explanation.

He crossed the few kilometers separating him from the ruins of his village in a few minutes, but not even all the spells he had woven in the case Dawn had returned to take the Fringe as her own could prepare him for what he found.

Houses instead of ruins and people instead of undead. The exhaustion from the long travel and one shock too many made him faint, plunging to the ground with the grace of a boulder.

Jiera continent, Fenagar’s lair, outside the city of Reghia.

Fenagar the Leviathan, Zagran the Garuda, and Roghar the Fenrir sat together at a round table for the first time in a long while. All pieces of furniture were made from a single dead branch of the World Tree.

Veins of the seven colors of the elements streaked the wood, making it able to withstand the weight of the Guardians and, if necessary, their fury.

Baba Yaga in her mother form attended that meeting as an honored guest, along with another woman of equal beauty. Her silver-colored hair bore streaks of all elements, marking her as one of the few humans blessed with talent in all forms of magic.

Yet what made her worthy of the assembly was her eyes that carried the seven colors of the elements as well. Last, but not least, the holograms of the three Guardians of the Garlen continent appeared one after another.

All of the Guardians had assumed their respective humanoid appearance to better contain their powers and keep natural disasters from happening. There was a reason why the six original Guardians rarely met.

Words would easily turn into insults and if things got physical, many maps would need to be rewritten. That’s why they had asked the two white-cored women to act as peacemakers.

With their powers, they could contain the anger of a Guardian long enough to calm them down or at least to prevent the ensuing destruction from spreading.

"Since I doubt that anyone here enjoys each other company, let’s move straight to business." Fenagar said, obtaining only nods of approval in response.

He looked like a humanoid reptile covered in white scales, about two meters (6’7") tall, wearing a lab coat and gold-rimmed round glasses. Fenagar didn’t like taking human form because people kept telling him how much he resembled Leegaain.

’The six original Guardians agreeing on something is a rare event, child.’ Baba Yaga chuckled through the mind link while being careful that no one else but her companion could hear her thoughts.

’It’s my first time seeing all of them together, so I’ll take your word for it.’ The woman couldn’t stop sweating bullets just by looking at the table.

Even the holograms emitted so much mana that the air around them crackled with power, making it hard to even breathe.

’Build yourself a mage tower, child. Those like us who can’t draw endless power from Mogar need all the edges they can get.’ Baba Yaga shook her flaming red hair in disapproval while staring at her peer with her emerald eyes.
