Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1166

Chapter 1166 Chaos Force Part 2

Even a troll core couldn’t keep up with the endless hunger of a rampaging Abomination because the hunger typical of Abominations didn’t come just from their black cores.

Their very life force was a bottomless pit that could only be kept at bay thanks to the balance that having multiple cores bestowed upon the Master’s hybrids or in Lith’s case, the fine-tuning between his life forces.

Back when he was a kid, before he achieved the blue core, his hybrid nature had been too weak to manifest. His growing body could barely handle the mana flow of his core so the Abomination side had remained dormant.

It had altered his body odor and helped him to mend his wounds from time to time, unable to do more without compromising the human shell. Only when the teenage Lith used darkness magic did the Chaos manage to seep out, draining the strength of his opponents.

After Lith reached the blue core, the Beast-Abomination hybrid life force had become as powerful as the human.

Due to the fact that the human life force suppressed the Abomination from the outside and the Emperor Beast did the same from the inside, however, its hunger was always in check.

The Abomination side could only manifest its powers through Lith’s scales, painting them black and granting him nigh-immunity to the draining touch of undead and fellow Abominations that originated from their innate abilities.

It was only now, after the bright blue core had allowed the three different life forces to merge, that the Chaos energy manifested itself in response to a direct threat. The many wounds and repeated uses of Origin Flames had weakened the other two life forces enough to compromise the balance.

The energy Lith took from his victims empowered both his human and hybrid essence, but only the Abomination side could feed without limit. The Emperor Beast side was limited by Lith’s mass while the human side was limited by the cracks plaguing it.

Just like too little energy made them fade away, too much made the life forces bloat. It was only a matter of time before only the Abomination side remained after swallowing the other two.

Lith’s survival instinct was too strong to care for such details but Solus did.

She could see that while Lith ripped apart a wave of monsters after the other, his whole body became less and less that of a Wyrmling and more like that of one of his Demons of the Darkness.

’By my maker, those creatures aren’t shadow soldiers so much as undead Abominations. Could be Lith really be some kind of Puppeteer as well? After all, he took over the corpse of the real Lith just like our enemy possesses that of an orc.’

Solus snapped out of her worries when an even bigger problem appeared.

’Dammit, Lith’s body and his life forces can’t take much more. The rampant Chaos energy is causing him almost the same damage it deals to our enemies, yet if I stop him now, he’ll die anyway.’

Solus had to choose whether to have him die as a human or live as an Abomination and lose everything he had fought so long to protect.

’Lith, if there’s something of you left in there listen to me. Cast as many Plague Arrows as you can, now!’ She said.

Lith did as instructed and Solus dispelled her darkness sealing array.
