Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1513

Chapter 1513 Trees and Fallen Part 1

"If you come here, we'll make sure you give resurrection a go yourself." The Guardians of Garlen said in unison.

"How can you be so blind? This might be the key to summoning a soul and injecting it inside an artificial body rich with world energy, like a crystal. To generate new life forms. It's a unique opportunity to learn both from and about death!" Roghar the Fenrir said.

"Your words are just the proof that you can't be allowed to step foot on Garlen again." Leegaain said. "Putting souls into artificial bodies would be akin to torture and destroy the balance. What if they learn how to spawn?"

"Agreed." Salaark nodded. "People keep being born hence they also need to keep dying. If you bring them back, life will choke on itself. On top of that, I'll be damned before I let you experiment on my blood!"

"I see that time hasn't changed you." Tyris said as her eyes brimmed with mana and fury. "It's because of your experiments with the living that so many races fell and turned into monsters.

"You still charge forward in your research about cores without thinking about the consequences. I banished you from Garlen once, but if you come back, this time I will kill you."

That piece of knowledge made the Awakened Council shudder. Its members now looked at the Fenrir with much less respect and much more fear.

"That's twisting the truth! I never caused anyone's fall. Those races came to me seeking answers and I simply helped them to the best of my abilities. I always warned them about the possible long-term consequences of putting untested theories into practice." Roghar snarled.

"How can you blame me for their foolishness? I just served my purpose, showing others the way to further their evolution. It's not my fault if-"

Tyris banished his hologram from the Council and stared at the young elf on the screen.

'How could I be this stupid?' Aalejah thought. 'I should have predicted that this would happen. Just like the Voidfeather Dragon couldn't connect to the shadows because it's alive, the Abomination can't project Spirit Magic outside because its darkness craves life.

'I've managed to screw up my mission and to endanger the life of a unique species with a single move. If anything happens to Lith, it will all be my fault.' The elf racked her brain, thinking back at everything she knew about Abominations and how to fight them.

"Lith, if you can still hear me, let them take over. It's your only way out!" Aalejah said while unleashing the biggest mass of darkness magic that she could conjure in so little time.

Lith couldn't hear her nor follow her advice since he required sheer willpower just to not let his mind be torn into shreds.

The darkness spell struck at the living mass of darkness and Chaos, weakening it along with all the souls closest to the surface.

The spirits of the dead had to join their efforts against the threat at hand to not be obliterated, giving Lith the time he needed to literally pull himself together.

'If it's life that you want, let me give you a taste of mine!' Lith struck at the invaders, taking control of the fusion and forcing them to relieve his three lives.

The souls experienced the abuse, the fear, the hardships, the loneliness, and the grieving he had endured during the past 45 years in a split second. It made life much less alluring, weakening both their will to fight and their desire to resurrect.
