Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1859

Chapter 1859: Toll of the Void (Part 1)

A tendril of Spirit Magic found Felmor, a baby less than one years old who cried in panic and terror.

"Your son will live, but he will own nothing but his life." Lith Warped the child away before unleashing all the spells he had at the ready along with a river of Void Flames.

Earth and fire magic made the ground below the Hogum household crack open as it turned into magma. The black fire hit the fissures, making them burst. At the same time, the Demons of Flames self-detonated, producing a volcanic explosion.

The storm clouds above the mansion cleared and the quake stopped. The world tribulation couldn't happen anymore and the planet turned their attention to more pressing matters.

Lith's mana core calmed down as well, the violet energy it contained sealed again into thin streaks. Whatever Mogar and his core wanted from him, he had failed them both for the second time in a single day.

While Lith and Tista Warped away, the ground swelled up and hurled a river of lava that devoured everything the Hogum bloodline had ever built and killed whoever had yet to run away.

Frenon and Cenia died a few seconds later, when the magma swallowed them, yet their agony seemed to last hours. The Baronet died at peace with Mogar, knowing that Felmor wouldn't pay for the stupidity of his father.

Cenia, instead, died with her heart full of hatred for Orpal, and her spirit found itself unable to leave.

Meanwhile, in Valeron, the Royal Court stood witness to a small but ancient household turning into an active volcano, leaving a scar in Lustria that would match those left in Lith's life force.

"Do you see that, you damn fools?" Peonia slapped in the face the heads of the ancient and new households with so much strength that they staggered and bled. "That's the power you have forfeited. That's an enemy you have created!"

While Peonia talked, Quylla and Kamila hated her for speaking about Lith as if he was just a jar of magic with a face. She also reminded Vastor of the reasons he had thought of sitting out of the war, yet his promise to Manohar bound him.

The King stepped forward, stripping Morn of the insignia of General of the Army from his right shoulder. Then came Sylpha, ripping the one on the left shoulder.

One after the other, the various nobles stripped Morn's uniform of all of its features until it wasn't a uniform anymore, just red clothes.

The Royal Court had just trialed and judged Morn Griffon for his crimes. The sentence was death, but it wouldn't come easy, it wouldn't be quick, and there would be no mercy in the execution.

Lith and Tista alternated their Warps, giving each other the time to use Invigoration while they approached the tower. Raaz's condition was stable but still critical, just like Lith's.

The Call of the Void had ravaged his life force while his almost falling for his old self's temptation had devastated his body. The life essences he had taken would keep him together, but not for long.

First, they went to the Trawn woods. Then, after they found no trace of the tower, they moved to the nearest geyser, the one under the Verhen Mansion. Solus had moved there, to hide in plain sight.

The moment they arrived, Solus activated the Immortal Body array and warped to the Desert, where Salaark had already been notified of their arrival. The heir of Menadion was horrified when she noticed both Lith's and Raaz's state, moving everyone to a different room.

"The problem is that he has no exposed veins that I can use for a physical IV and even if he drinks tonics for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it will take me days to heal such wounds!" _{freewёbnoνel.com}
