Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1541

Chapter 1541 - New Life (Part 1)

Thrud knew that the seven hundred years old magic of the Golden Griffon couldn’t compare with the modern academies that were constantly updated nor did she have any idea how Royal Forgemasters achieved such a result.

Her method was crude and rough, but also very effective. With each bit of the power core that she destroyed and regenerated, Hystar could feel the lost academy growing stronger. New spells appeared in his mind and new abilities became available each day.

He had no need to study them since a living legacy mastered all the enchantments they were imbued with as if they were born with them. His joy would have been boundless if pain didn’t fill his mind already to the point that it was the only thing he could feel.

Suddenly, Thrud’s Forgemastering hammer fell to the ground and Hystar’s agony stopped. The entire Golden Griffon started to quake and rumble as the changes that she had made to the power core spread throughout the lost academy’s structure.

To achieve the full extent of its new power, the Golden Griffon assimilated part of the materials that the Mad Queen had brought from her travels with the same hunger of a famished man consuming a hot meal.

"The core’s update is complete.." Thrud’s delicate features were twisted in a grimace of agony that put Hystar’s to shame. "I would have loved to craft a few more pieces before giving birth, but I can’t do that without endangering the baby."

"Do you need help, my liege?" Iata the Scorpicore asked.

Like most of the apprentices, the only childbirth Iata had ever witnessed was her own and she had no memory of it for obvious reasons.

"No, but there’s one thing you can do for me. Take my amulet and call Jakra. Coming here or not is up to him, but he needs to know that our child is about to be born. If something happens to me, Jakra needs to take the baby away as soon as possible." Thrud replied.

"Do you suspect that there are traitors among our ranks?" Iata asked in outrage.

"No, I trust every one of you." Thrud replied with a huge grin on her face.

Unbeknownst to her soldiers, back when they had voluntarily submitted to the Unwavering Loyalty array in order to survive their Awakening, Thrud had questioned each one of them and then ordered them to forget all about it.

She now knew the strengths and weaknesses of her subjects along with where their loyalty lay.

"It’s just that I’m afraid that my child will be the matter of the legends." Thrud let the Scorpicore help her standing while a Warp led them to her bedchambers. "I believe that they will be Awakened from birth, and living on top of a mana geyser would be dangerous for them."

Those words shocked both Iata and Hystar, but while the former felt great joy at the news, the latter could only suck it up and smile. Thrud had violated or rewritten almost all of the plans that Arthan had left, enraging the Headmaster to no end.

Yet there was nothing that Sevenus Hystar could do to her and now even to her kid. Arthan had been a Mad King, but far from stupid. Like Baba Yaga with Night, Arthan had imparted Hystar the command to not harm his descendants directly or indirectly.

Unlike her, however, having no trust in a cursed object that he considered nothing but a tool, Arthan had also left the command that were Hystar to be aware of any threat to the royal blood, the Headmaster had to protect them even at the cost of his life.

’I can’t tell Dad. He might report it to Tyris. Labor can last for several hours and if Tyris attacks right now, there’s no telling what might happen.’ Jormun used one of the Warp Gates to reach the borders of Leegaain’s turf and then he flew at Dragon Speed.
