Chapter 1772 - The Void (Part 4)

"I'm the freaking Guardian of Mana! There is no telling what I could learn from that thing. You have to let me come there and bring it to my lab!" Roghar said in outrage.

"First, that's not a thing. It's a person and my grandson at that." Salaark stopped eating, looking at the Fenrir for the first time since the start of the conversation. "Second, I don't have to do anything for you."

She took a deep breath as her power blotted the sun of the Desert from the sky and made the shadows in Roghar's own home flicker like angry flames. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"I despise you and your methods. During the last meeting, I clearly told you that if you dare to make a single step in Garlen, I'll kick your ass. Now, as you can see, I'm pregnant and I won't risk my baby for a lowlife like you.

"Yet I will not hesitate to throw every single spell I know at you from a safe distance while my boyfriend kicks your ass with the weapon that I'm going to provide him."

"Are you seriously back with Leegaain again?" Roghar was astonished, not scared. "That lizard is the weakest among you and I've created more spells than you'll ever learn. Think twice before making an enemy out of me."

Salaark just hung up the call and relayed the conversation with the Fenrir to her two friends before picking up her Forgemastering hammer.

"Challenge accepted, jackass."

Village of Lutia, at the same time.

Elina hadn't stopped crying ever since the image of Orpal slandering her family and maiming Manohar's corpse had disappeared from the sky above Lutia and her farm.

"Gods, what have we done?" She said while hugging her husband. "Our son killed our friends and even tried to kill his own brother. How could we raise such a monster? How could we even think of giving him a second chance?"

"We have done nothing wrong dear." Raaz's eyes were veiled with tears, but his voice was steady. "Our only mistake has been to love him with all of our hearts and let our feelings cloud our judgment.

"We didn't turn him into a monster, he already was one at birth. Don't you see how the rest of our children, even Trion, have grown into fine people? The problem has never been us, but Orpal's incapacity to accept the consequences of his actions."

"What can we do to make up for his crimes?" Elina asked amid sobs.

"Nothing, because those crimes belong only to him." He held her tight and took the communication amulet. "Let's call our children to make sure that they are alright. They need us, and they need us to be strong for them."

Night's secret lair, at the same time.

The Void covering Derios greatly alarmed the Royals. They believed it to be a ruse of the Undead Courts and dispatched the members of the Corpse to investigate the events.

Night and Orpal knew to have nothing to do with it, yet they also had plenty of reasons to worry about the phenomenon. Ever since the blackness had appeared, they had lost contact with the undead that they had dispatched there for the follow-up mission to Manohar's death.

Then, their runes had disappeared from Night's contact amulet. After a while, every single member of the Undead Courts living in Derios had suddenly died. It didn't matter whether they took part in Orpal's conspiracy or not, nor if they belonged to the Dawn, Dusk, or Night Court.
