Chapter 1823: Cursed Flames (Part 1)

Solus cursed at herself. She was so used to exchanging her thoughts with Lith that she would often forget that most people found having a voice blabbering in their head distracting, especially in the heat of battle.

‘My guess is that the strength of the two Origin Flames doesn't matter. To combine them into Primordial Flames, our two Demons here have to somehow manipulate the energy signature of their respective Flames until they match.‘ She said.

‘Please, elaborate.‘ Tista said.

‘Think about it. When you breathed together, nothing different from the usualhappened.' Solus replied. ‘Your respective Origin Flames worked independently and caused explosions whenever they made contact.‘ Solus said and the others nodded for her to continue.

‘At that point, the Grendel used Night‘s prism to defend himself by conjuring massive amounts of darkness that mixed your Origin Flames. This way, when the Void Flame arrived, they found a matching energy signature and created the Primordial Flames.

‘Void Flames are identical to Origin Flames with just a spark of Chaos added to them. My hypothesis is that Night's darkness tainted the Origin Flames, making a difference.‘

Her reasoning made sense, but they had no time for more theories.

They got back to their feet and darted through the corridors,

following the map in their pins to reach the throne room while the members of the Hand of Fate corps created a diversion.

Or so they thought until a second wave of four enemies appeared from around a corner to intercept them. They each had a prism in their chest and weren't affected by the presence of the sun shining high in the sky.

'Feela said that thanks to daylight we wouldn't encounter much resistance aside from Thralls, yet these guys are as strong as they come.‘ Friya said.

The Primordial Flames had wiped out enough of the magical aura of the building to make their mystical senses work again.

'lt's the prism.’ Lith replied. ‘One of the Chosen must have a bloodline ability that allows them to move freely during the day and the prism shares it with the others.’

Baba Yaga had disclosed all the information she had about Night's abilities to the Council. She wanted to be sure that whoever found her rebellious daughter ?rst would know what they were dealing with.

"Hello, my dear siblings." Orpal's voice came out of the mouths of the four undead that spoke in unison as they approached. "There's no need to break into my home. If you wanted an invite, all you needed to do was ask."

‘Shit! This wasn't in Baba Yaga's ?le.‘ Tista said.

The prisms were supposed to only allow Night to share her powers with her Chosen and vice versa. Yet now they seemed to also form a mind link between them, if not even some kind of hive mind.

‘Our situation has just gone from bad to worse since Orpal will be able to study our new abilities. Yet if he can pass his own skills unto the undead, things might become from worse to nightmare.‘ Lith said.

‘Shouldn't we call off the mission?‘ Phloria asked. ‘If Orpal knows we are coming, he must have run away already.‘

‘Gods, you've never met Meln, have you?‘ Tista replied with a dry laugh. ‘Running away would mean admitting he is inferior to Lith. He would rather die.‘

The four undead stopped their advance, opening their mouths unnaturally wide as if their jaws had been dislocated. They emitted the shrill shriek of a Banshee, producing each a shockwave with the sheer energy of a speeding truck.
