Chapter 1508 Odd Companions Part 2

'I must keep Solus a secret so I have to study everything with the Eyes and then elaborate the information with the staff. I don't think that the World Tree can read my mind. If I'm careful, I can leave them in the dark about everything but the powers that I need to test.' Lith thought.

"By the way, how come you joined the undead group? No offense to you guys, but given your relationship with the Tree, I would have expected an elf to look for the plant folk's company." Phloria asked.

"Quite the contrary." Aalejah shook her head.

"Plant folk and Fae resent the Tree for not sharing their knowledge just like the offspring of the Guardians resent their parents. Beasts and humans still resent my species for respectively trying to drag them in the War of the Races and to wipe them out."

"Oh."

"Oh indeed." The elf chuckled at Phloria's embarrassment. "The undead, instead, have no grudge against us since the War took place before Baba Yaga birthed them. On top of that, due to our deep bond with the world energy, elves are universal donors of life force.

"I share bits of my essence with the pickiest eaters among the undead and they keep me safe. It's a fair trade."

"Speaking of which, would you please let me taste your life force? I heard that you have an undead friend so I hope that my request doesn't make you feel awkward." Trevan the Nightwalker asked Lith.

"I could, but according to what your companions told me, I smell either toxic or disgusting to them." Lith replied.

"My species is different from the others. To feed, Nightwalkers need not only someone that belongs to their original race, but also those talented in darkness magic. I noticed that your Abomination form is made of darkness instead of Chaos so we might be compatible." He said with a flirty smile.

"Feel free to take a sip." Lith offered him his hand with a neutral tone, pretending to not have noticed.

'If he's right, then I can assume that my affinity with darkness comes from my Abomination side. Abominations and undead are very similar and Nightwalkers are even more so due to being filled with darkness to the brim.

'They control shadows and so do I. I might be able to learn a few things from him.' Lith thought.

Trevan touched the Tiamat's hand, drawing in just enough life force to taste it.

The Nightwalker felt as if his entire body was on fire as the power coursed throughout his body and reached his half-red blood core without the need of being refined.

Lith's human side made even the lingering traces of the Beast side acceptable while the darkness mixed with them joined that already stored in Trevan's body, making him stronger.

"I was right! We have perfect compatibility. It's the first time that I manage to completely assimilate my food without wasting any of it. I've fed on countless humans with black streaks, but you're not merely attuned to darkness, you are living darkness just like me!"

'Let's put it this way. Based on what we learned in Laruel, either the World Tree already knows about you or they don't because they assume that, after remaining without a host for so long, you must be already dead. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
