"Well, well, well. One little mystery explained, one hundred big mysteries unanswered. My daughters know all about Lith and yet they never mentioned his abilities to me for all these years.
"Kids these days." Jirni said with a deep sigh while she changed her plans according to her latest discovery.
Meanwhile, in Haug’s tavern, Lith didn’t take the abrupt ending of the conversation well. He roared in fury and released his blue-violet aura since there was no point in hiding it anymore.
The arrays of Lightkeep were even stronger than Belius’s, but this time there wasn’t Kamila with him. Lith had no reason to hold back.
"That bastard! They are following their plan, killing the people close to me one after another. I’ve got no time to waste. I need to find who’s taking the undead children and have Vladion move his f.u.c.k.i.n.g undead ass!"
The Travelling Tavern started to rumble and Lith’s body to turn black.
’Calm down, Lith.’ Solus said, trying to find the right words in the middle of her own grief. ’Don’t you remember what happened in Jiera? Surrendering to your Abomination side takes much more than it gives.
’No matter how much power you gain, there’s no one here deserving your fury. You would just become a monster that feeds on anyone just to survive. Have you already forgotten what you did to me the last time it happened?’
Those words froze Lith in place, allowing him to realize the madness possessing him. He wouldn’t hurt Solus again, no matter the reason.
’We have to keep a cool head and predict their next target. If the culprit follows Balkor’s methods, then they must first clear all the Past cards before moving to the Present. free𝑤ebnovel.com
’We must warn your Professors. They are the only ones left with the Past card.’ Solus said as his Abomination side subsided.
’I’d like to see them try! As long as Marth is inside the White Griffon, he’s a god. Manohar is Manohar and Vastor is a monster. If Xenagrosh and the other Abomination hybrids live with him, attacking Vastor is suicide.’ He replied.
"Dammit, I need help." Lith said the moment he noticed that, despite his and Solus’s best efforts, the Abomination side still run rampant, exploiting his emotional distress to escape from its bounds.
’F.u.c.k me sideways! The more often my Abomination side breaks free, the harder it gets to regain control and keep the Chaos from destroying my body. I can’t afford another slip up when I’m alone.’
"I’m on it." Haugh cast the tier three Spirit Spell, Chill Area, something he had created to deal with powerful patrons too drunk to control their own actions.
The spell used darkness to sap their strength, light and earth to conjure a straightjacket harder than diamond, and water to make it flexible. Lith’s Abomination side didn’t like darkness and tried to hide under his skin to evade contact.
"Guys, we need a team effort." Haug said once he noticed the damages that Chaos inflicted upon his spell every time they clashed.
Chill Area wasn’t meant to harm its mark, just to restrain them whereas Chaos had only one purpose, annihilation.
The waiters and kitchen staff joined the effort, feeding Haug’s spell their own Spirit Magic tendrils to boost its power. After permanently hiring someone, the bartender usually Awakened the strays he picked up and made them his apprentices.
It was the only way to exploit the Council to protect them from whatever past they were running away from and to get a reasonably waged workforce. Two birds with one stone.
