Chapter 1389 - High-Master (Part 1)

"Nice to see you, Lith. This meeting is long overdue, I know, but I never found the right moment to tell you the truth. To answer your questions, yes, I know you’re an Awakened. Yes, I’m the Master of whom you might’ve heard about. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"Yes, I suspect that you stole the violet crystal during the military training, and yes, Xenagrosh works for me. She’s the niece I told you about so many times. Anything else?" Vastor said.

"How did you Awaken?" Lith asked.

"Nandi, my staff, and the breathing techniques from my children. Next question." He said with a chuckle.

"How did you get here so fast? Usually, it takes you some time to make up an excuse and get away from your work." Nandi asked and Vastor replied with a snap of his fingers.

The air above the Minotaur’s shoulder distorted, letting out a small black fox.

"Surprise! My Spirit Magic body is no fighter, but I can still use it to tail someone. Get it? Tail, because it’s a tail." Tezka said with the high-pitched voice of a small child.

"Have you been following me the entire time?" Nandi said in outrage.

"Of course he did. Under my request." Vastor said. "As long as you have conflicting loyalties, I have to keep an eye on you because even though you trust these undead, I don’t. Show your powers to the wrong person and they will happily cut you apart to understand our secrets."

"Be honest with me. Have you sent Tezka after me for my own good or yours?"

"Both. The two things aren’t mutually exclusive. Quite the contrary." Vastor replied. "Now if we’re done with the questions, tell me why I’m here."

Lith and Solus were still too shocked to speak, just like everyone else in the room but Nandi and Baba Yaga. She explained the situation to Vastor, using hard-light constructs to reproduce her findings without exposing the existence of the Eyes.

"Nandi is right, this is very similar to my own work." The Master looked at Light Mastery with envy and studied it thoroughly thanks to the staff. "I’ve got bad news and horrible news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"The bad news." The Mother replied with a firm voice.

"Whoever is behind this, it’s an expert of light magic, just like me. Also, they derived this Ambrosia by condensing the life force of several undead through Arthan’s Madness." Vastor said after studying the two Emperor Beasts with Beyonder’s Eye, his breathing technique.

"Are you sure of it?" Baba Yaga clenched her fists in outrage.

"Yes. The news about the use of Forbidden Magic might force the Council to move its a.s.s, but it will probably be too late. Judging from these failed prototypes, the project is already in its final phase, I’m sorry." Vastor gave her a polite bow of condolences.

"What about the horrible news?" Lith asked.

"Kalla is only partially right about the Emperor Beasts. Sure, many must have taken part to the project of their free will, but the blood of these creatures is too varied and rich to not have demanded several sacrifices.

"My bet is that they lured their most useless or despised siblings into a trap and used them as research material. A hero needs victims to avenge, after all. The altered Emperor Beasts can blame the undead for the death of their siblings and make their return to the fold even more glorious." Vastor proved to be shrewder than Lith.
