Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1939

"If someone comes at us looking for a fight, we don't just give it to them. We beat them so hard and thoroughly that those after them think thrice before even looking at us. Also, innocents? Seriously?

"Those soldiers are trying to capture us and are willing to exterminate their targets if they fail to put a leash on us. They would happily doom every single one of us to a lifetime of slavery and then go back to their lives because of those orders.

"Don't get me started about the mercenaries. People who would do anything for money and have a gold purse for a moral compass. Say what you want, but they are not innocent. You are free to not dirty your hands, but I will." Zoreth said.

Theseus tried to step forward and face the Shadow Dragon, but Dolgus clenched his shoulder, forcing him to stop.

"She's right." He said, making the Bastet's jaw drop. "Do you think that if someone tries to capture or kill me, I just run away? No, I fight back. I didn't do it until now solely because the injuries you inflicted on me were too serious.

"Also, I couldn't risk you having a fit of blood madness at the sight of violence and attacking me." The Griffon took a pause, letting his words and the guilt sink into Theseus' heart. "I don't blame you because you have no control over your action, but they are different and deserve no pity.

"If you just keep running away, you make them grow more confident and help them perfect their tracking skills. One day, they will discover a way to track your energy signature and you'll be forced to spend your whole life on the run.

"If we retaliate, instead, they'll lose all the data they acquired so far and with no idea of the reason for their defeat, doubt and fear will cloud their minds. We are Divine Beasts. We don't relish in violence, but we aren't sheep either."

"I'll do it." Lith shapeshifted his clothes into the Voidwalker armor and conjured War on his hip.

"What? Why?" Solus asked, her eyes wide open.

"Marriage made me happy, not soft." He replied. "These people are like those in the Kingdom who would gladly take me prisoner and experiment on me until the day I die.

"Whatever data they collected about Theseus, I'm not going to let it fall into the wrong hands. If anyone learns how to track Abominations, I'll be the next. Once that happens, I'll have no privacy, and people could follow me and discover the tower.

"Also, this is the first opportunity I get to put my new spells and body to the test. A simple fight against a human army, like the one that awaits me once I get back to the Kingdom.

"Or do you expect the Royal army to leave me alone if I don't accept their terms? Or Thrud's followers, for that matter. More and more people follow her by the day and I'm not going to hold back just because they bought her lies."

Solus pondered his words, knowing that Lith was right. That Zoreth and Dolgus were right. The Abomination clone was in the exact same situation she would be if the existence of Menadion's tower was discovered.

At that point, she would be left with only two choices. To spend her whole life on the run, putting in danger everyone she cared for, or fight back. Pa nda _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Novel "At least give them a chance. Try to send them away." Solus said, slouching her shoulders.

"I will." Lith nodded. "You guys summon the Master. I'll take care of the problem."
