Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1220

Chapter 1220 - Sacrifices (Part 2)

’On top of that, what if the Hands can really lead to Solus? After all, Menadion gifted the four artifacts that comprise the set to her most loyal students.’ Phloria said.

’It’s possible, but unlikely.’ Solus replied once she noticed the prolonged silence following Phloria’s words and that all eyes were on her.

’Menadion wouldn’t give away her location so easily and even if she did, my energy signature is different from the original tower. Even the artifact she had entrusted Silverwing to find the tower in the case something happened to us didn’t work.

’Last, but not least, I didn’t feel any pull to my consciousness ever since we got here. Even if once the Hands had a link with the tower, it’s likely to be broken now.’ Yet she accessed the tower’s logs to make sure that no one had attempted to make contact with it, just to be safe.

Even though the mind link allowed them to speak quickly, it still took time and three people spacing out in the middle of the road were just a tad bit less suspicious than three people doing the same in the middle of nowhere.

There were too many sentinels near the barrier and without a distraction from the merfolk, there was no safe zone.

’We need to get out of here and tell Rem everything we’ve learned. Maybe she can point us in the right direction. At first, it was a blind mission, but now that we know that we can hold on for much longer than four hours, the situation is different.

’On top of that, I’m eager to check if the effects of the Forbidden Sun on Solus and I are temporary or long lasting.’ Lith said.

He didn’t experience Death Vision anymore and Solus’s mana core had quickly evolved to bright cyan. The both of them had never felt that good. After sending the convened signal to the merfolk, the group returned to the city of Zhen.

"Whatever this is, it better be good. I don’t’ have many air pockets with me and you got out after only two hours. Too long for your pins to not work but too short to find something relevant. Did you mess up and need a change of ’clothes’?" Rem asked.

Before making them start their report, she opened a channel with Aren Dolm, the leader of Jiera’s beast Council. Once Lith’s group was done, all traces of nervousness were gone from the room, replaced by a mild optimism.

Yet the same couldn’t be said for Lith. He could see Rem drown in her blood, rot as a corpse, and die out of deep stab wounds. As for Solus, her mana core couldn’t hold the stored energy and was quickly going back to deep cyan.

"Glad to hear that the pins work and that Lith can prolong your stay for over four hours. This is a one of a kind opportunity." Aren said. "As for the information you provided, I’m sorry but it’s nothing new.

"We already know that the tower isn’t a mage tower from our past failed attacks, just like we learned that the current ruler has the power to control the geyser. What we need to know is if it depends on their bloodline or if it relies on an artifact.

"In the past, we sent squads of violet cored Awakened who in exchange of their lives managed to kill the ruler, yet Kolga didn’t fall."

’It’s no surprise. The owner of the arrays and the sun can be switched and as long as another person gets the Hands, everything goes back to square one.’ Everyone thought.
