Chapter 1763 - Light Vs Darkness (Part 1)

"My Skinwalkers will stay where they are." Thrud shook her head, glad to see that Orpal was thinking things through instead of putting his ego first. "Manohar can capture them. Once you get rid of him, I will start the invasion and rescue them."

The Dead King started to snicker, his voice slowly rising in intensity until it become a maniacal laughter.

"The gods really are on my side." He said while alerting his troops throughout the Kingdom. "Tonight, I'll paint the moon red with blood and my accursed brother will know despair." _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

City of Derios, capital of the Distar Marquisate, that evening.

Lith, Protector, and Nalrond were sitting around a table at Haug's Travelling Tavern in their respective humanoid Beast form.

Lith needed someone to talk to about his dwindling life force, Protector needed some distance from Selia who was yet to let him off the hook, and Nalrond needed a place to use his Rezar form without causing a commotion.

Haug's tavern could easily accommodate them since dimensional magic made it spacious enough even for the bulkiest customer and Awakened didn't care for each other's appearance.

Protector had just finished whining about how much the new kid would cost him and the earful that Selia gave him every time he dared to complain about his workload.

"Remember my words. Don't marry and don't have kids." He said swallowing the tenth tankard of beer with just one drop of Red Dragon in it.

"Don't mind him. He gets sad every time he drinks too much." Nalrond said, still struggling to drink and eat with his long-clawed hands.

"I don't believe a word he says. I know that he'd rather cut his own tail than give up on one of his children." Lith replied.

"How could I? They are so cute!" Protector shoved in the middle of the table a Rememberer that projected countless images of his kids as babies.

He could tell when and why each picture had been taken, arousing memories that moved him to tears, but to anyone else they looked identical, boring them to death.

"They sure are. How did your date with Friya go, Nalrond?" Lith pushed the Rememberer away, eager to change the topic.

The Rezar told them everything until the shocking conclusion.

"Sorry to hear that, man." Protector hugged him with all of his strength, almost crushing Nalrond's ribs. "Not even a goodnight kiss is never a good sign. Don't lose hope. You are a wonderful person."

The drunken Skoll started to lap him, covering him in slob.

"It didn't go badly either since I asked her for a second date and she said yes." Nalrond pushed Protector away and cleaned himself with darkness magic.

"That's great news, actually. If she's taking it slowly maybe it means that she actually cares and doesn't want to rush things. You'd better not wait too long to set the date because once her body stabilizes, Faluel will bring her core to violet.

"Then Friya will need a lot of time to learn body casting and practice Accumulation." Lith then shared with them the details about his conversation with Faluel, how their date ended, and the conversation with Solus.

He only left out the part about the body-swapping machine because Forbidden Magic wasn't a topic he could share even with his closest friend. They wouldn't like it and it would also make them his accomplices.

"See what I mean? Even Lith got a goodnight kiss!" Protector said, missing most of Lith's points.

"I'm sorry for your compromised life force." Nalrond said. "At least Solus took it well and your family will probably do the same. Yet this raises a question. She's a great woman and your days are numbered so what the heck are you waiting for?"
