Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1263

Chapter 1263 - Family Business (Part 1)

"Besides, Selia is right. Hybrid children are too much to handle for a human without the proper tools and I’m often absent. Don’t make my same mistakes and don’t lose so much. Children only have one first time at everything and I’ve missed most of it." He sighed.

Lith didn’t like talking about such things. After an awkward pause, he told both Solus and Protector the full story about his meeting with Mogar.

"The f.u.c.k?" Solus was flabbergasted. "This is way more important than you being an Abomination. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

"I strongly disagree." Lith replied. "As for your question, I knew how you felt after discovering how much death your legacy had caused and I can’t even imagine the pain you experienced from losing your body a few hours after getting it.

"Adding my burden to your own would have just been cruel. I already felt bad for what I did to Khalia and for making you witness her fate. I couldn’t risk giving you more scars."

"You should have told me." Solus sighed, but as the memories of the magical lobotomy flashed in front of her eyes, she was glad he didn’t.

"Do you feel guilty about that merfolk?" Protector’s voice sounded genuinely worried. No matter what Lith told him, the Skoll wouldn’t judge him for it.

"No, but I’m not proud of my actions either and that’s a first. I’m used to collateral damage. I’m aware that after Aren’s plan failed, making Solus follow Khalia was our only shot at uncovering the secrets of Kolga, but it doesn’t make me feel any better.

"Because of me, Khalia will be remembered as a hero, yet I know she died a dog’s death. I honestly don’t know how Carl managed to forgive me so easily nor why did he still care so much about me." Lith said.

"Because he loves you and because as long as you realize the weight of your actions, you’ll never truly be an Abomination. Having no feelings doesn’t make you strong, it makes you empty.

"You should have learned at this point that protecting is much more difficult than killing, but the perks are also way better." Ryman smiled while lifting Fenrir in the air with his huge hands.

"Dada." The baby girl said while giggling.

"What do you mean? Either you are an Abomination or you aren’t. There is no middle ground." Lith replied.

"Indeed, yet you seem to have failed to grasp the definition of Abomination. Do you remember what I told him before we faced the Wither?" He asked.

"Yes. You call them Abominations not because of what they do, but because of what they are."

"Exactly." Protector nodded. "What do you think that means?"

"That Abominations are ruthless predators enslaved to their hunger." Lith replied.

"Wrong. Humans kill all kinds of living beings for sport or need, yet they didn’t earn such a title. Despite the fact that they consider all other races as prey, not even monsters and undead are called that way." Protector pointed out.
