Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1574

Chapter 1574 - Growing Power (Part 2)

His aim wasn't to rule, only to help mankind to reach the next evolutionary step by granting upon a selected elite the gift of immortality and matchless power.

Fixing a centuries old system, however, was much harder than just overthrowing a ruler. The Master needed not only the resources necessary to turn regular humans into Eldritchs, but he also needed to find a way to make the transformation safe and permanent.

So far, all he had achieved were hybrids and no matter how powerful they were, until their condition stabilized, they would be a treat for themselves and for others. Vastor himself needed the Yggdrasill staff to contain his Abomination half.

He couldn't move his operations to the next step until he was sure that the gift he wanted to share with humanity wasn't actually a curse that would doom them as it had already happened to the fallen races.

"Slow but steady." Slathan replied. "It seems that the rumors are correct. Dawn and Dusk are nowhere to be found. Everything is now in Night's hands."

"What about the Undead Courts?" Xenagrosh said.

"We are taking them down one at a time." The Fenrir replied with a huge grin. "Thanks to our bloodline ability, Doom Tide, we can single-handedly take down one branch each.

"The few undead that survive the blast are powerless without world energy. Only Awakened could pose a threat to us, but so far we found none."

"What about you, Kigan?" Xenagrosh asked.

"The Desert is really big so I managed to find several unattended mines of both metals and crystals." The Eldritch Phoenix also known as the Blood Wind felt like a traitor for exploiting his knowledge against the interests of the nest.

"My spells have found no trace of surveillance devices, but with Mom's senses, it doesn't mean much. One breath is all that it takes her to find us the moment we use too much power.

"Either we take our time and set several arrays that would give out our presence as soon as one of the members of the nest finds the mines as well or we need to be really quick. We need Tezka."

"You heard the man. Can you leave a couple of your tails in Lutia and get to the Desert?" Xenagrosh asked the Fylgja.

"No way." He shook his head. "You know all too well that I'm doing more than playing baby sitter here. I'm protecting our future. If something happens to Zin and the kids, the Master will lose it and we with him."

The bond between the Abominations that Vastor's experiments had created was a double-edged sword. It allowed them to make their life forces resonate, boosting their bloodline abilities, and even to combine them.

At the same time, however, it also forced the Eldritchs to share their most intense feelings so that the outburst of a single one of them would quickly spread to the others.

"Besides, I've got some interesting news that keeps me from leaving. I-"

Suddenly, the signal was cut off and Tezka's communication rune became unavailable. To make matters worse, due to the nature of the Fylgja's dimensional space and the distance between them, their bond was useless unless he called upon her.

"What the heck is happening?" Xenagrosh blurted out. "I'm too far to be of any help. What about you guys?"

Thanks to their teamwork, to the many arrays that the Kingdom had laid to protect the Verhen household, and to the help of the magical beasts that lived in the Trawn Woods, the attackers had been neutralized before any of the villagers could notice the danger. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
