Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1407

Chapter 1407 - Two as One (Part 1)

’F.u.c.k! My only hope is that Vladion is still messing around with-’ Scarlett’s hopes died the moment she saw Lith sitting on a stone, eating some jerky and drinking a tonic.

Right after shrugging off Life Maelstrom’s effects with Life Aura that turned the Firstborn’s physical strength into a defensive wall, Vladion had unsheathed his sword, Primordial Thirst, and decapitated his opponents.

If the gap between a deep blue and a bright violet mana core was big, that with a full red blood core was even bigger. The moment Vladion had taken the gloves off, the creatures were already dead, they just didn’t know it yet.

"This is odd." He said. "The last time we fought against more than two Guardian’s bloodlines whereas this time they were either lesser Griffons or Dragons."

"My thoughts exactly." Lith and Scarlett said in unison. "Probably being able to use Origin Flames or Life Maelstrom was the prerequisite to become a prototype, but what the real project is after are Griffons and Dragons."

"Xedros?" Lith remembered all too well the Father of all Wyvern’s obsession with becoming a Dragon.

"Impossible." Scarlett shook her head. "He knows nothing of healing magic and you can’t improvise yourself an expert. Besides, if he really was capable of something like that, Xedros wouldn’t have spent the last 1,500 years whining. Although..."

The Scorpicore adjusted the Eyes to have an approximate idea of their location. They had flown for too long and she had focused on the energy signature too much for caring about the direction they moved.

"You’re too paranoid, kid." Scarlett said while sighing in relief. Xedros was one of the few elders of the Council that would give her a run for her money. "We haven’t moved back to the Kingdom, we’re even deeper in the Empire."

"Can you show me?" Vladion asked after drinking the blood he needed to return to his peak condition and fix his equipment, storing the rest in his dimensional object to give it to his children later.

Scarlett tapped the Eyes, making a 3-D holographic map appear. It showed both the surface and the underground network of tunnels they had traveled through.

’I can’t wait for you to be able to do the same.’ Lith said, brimming with greed and envy.

’Same here, but never forget that I’m more than a piece of your equipment, I’m your partner.’ She said.

’I never thought of you otherwise.’ He replied, giving her the equivalent of a telepathic embrace. ’By the way, do you want me to try and retrieve the Eyes of Mom?’

’Thanks, but no thanks.’ Solus chuckled at the joke, grateful for his thoughtfulness. ’There’s no point for us in collecting all the pieces of Mom’s set since I’ll probably have all of their abilities once I fully recover.

’I took the Hands only because the Kolgans abused them whereas Scarlett is a good person. She uses the Eyes like you would, so I’m fine with her keeping them.’

"Great Mother almighty." Vladion said. "We’re exactly in the middle of the Eclipsed Lands. At this point, I don’t need the Eyes of Menadion to know our destination. We need to go here."

The Firstborn pointed with his finger at an underground location a couple of dozen kilometers away from them. The place was in the middle of nowhere, with no settlements either above or below the ground.

"What’s so special about it?" Lith asked, taking the words out of Scarlett’s mind.
