Chapter 1505 Back in Black Part 1

Meanwhile, in Urgamakka, Lith discussed the information he had just acquired with his team members.

'What do you think? Should we accept the undead's and the elf's offer for help or should we decline?' He asked.

'I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to trust an undead. Not after everything they have done to me and to my family. My answer is no. Yet sooner or later you might have to work with them and this might be a good opportunity to study them.' Phloria said

'I doubt that they would try to harm us while on a mission for the Council. Also, it's your secrets that are on the line so I think the final decision should be yours.'

'I agree with Phloria's reasoning but I vote for trusting them.' Solus replied. 'We know nothing about your life force and letting Aalejah study it might prove very useful to us.'

'If she shares her findings with us, we have the opportunity to exploit the knowledge of the World Tree. On top of that, if we help her with her mission, maybe Aalejah can tell us what she knows about my mother and the person who caused our deaths.'

On the one hand, Lith didn't like the idea of sharing anything with a powerhouse he knew only by name. On the other hand, however, learning from the World Tree and having the opportunity to study the breathing technique of the Chroniclers was too good to turn it down.

He entrusted Solus to Phloria, asking them to use the Eyes of Menadion to record what was about to happen. Then, Lith was forced to cut his own hand deeply and spill enough blood to sheathe War.

Without a full cover, the raging flow of energy that coursed through the angry blade made it impossible to store it in the pocket dimension.

'According to Faluel, the Scalewalker armor is nothing much for Awakened standards whereas War is a masterpiece. I'm not letting anyone take a peek at it.' He thought.

"I'll take your offer for help. I'm the first of my kind and with the war with Thrud nearing, I can't afford to spend months just to understand what I'm capable of. If you promise to share whatever you find out about my Tiamat form, I'll allow you to study it.

"You complete your task and I save myself a lot of time. Everybody wins." Lith said while shapeshifting into his real body.

"One second." Aalejah closed her eyes and activated the mind link with the Tree before answering.

'The terms are acceptable. His compliance will make your work easier. Be thorough and do not disappoint me.'

"We have a deal." The elf nodded while she put her hands on Lith's shoulders, using her breathing technique, Rainfall.

While experiencing Faluel's Lifestream felt like being neck-deep inside a river, Rainfall acted akin to a gentle spring drizzle. Her mana reached Lith's skin in small droplets that slowly seeped through his scales and skin as if he was a cracked wall.

It took Aalejah a minute to complete her scan.

"This is amazing! Even the Tree has never seen something like your life force. If there wasn't just one of you, this might be the dawn of a new race." The feverish light in the elf's eyes reminded Lith of Manohar, making him trust her even less.

"Can you shapeshift into human form? I want to study the effects of Body Sculpting on your life force. Even a harmless technique like that can teach me a lot."

"I don't use Body Sculpting to shapeshift." Lith replied.
