Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2109

Chapter 2109 secrets from the Past (Part 1)

Both Nandi's armor and patas were made of purified Adamant and Forgemastered with modern techniques created by Bytra, the Fourth Ruler of the Flames. By showcasing them, Nandi was not only intimidating the opponent, but also reminding the disgruntled members of the Organization of Vastor's successes.

The powerful body and cores of the Minotaur surpassed those of most Eldritches despite him being much younger. On top of that, it proved to them that he could use any kind of tools without the Chaos corrupting them into scraps after a few seconds.

Such a sight was enough to quell the rage of the other Abominations and made them get back in line.

"I don't think that you've summoned us here just to scold us, Master." Xenagrosh said. "What's the plan?"

"As you know, I couldn't care less about Thrud. I took part in this war for personal reasons." The hybrid-Abominations who shared an empathic link with him grunted in approval.

They hated Orpal's guts for killing Manohar and having attempted on Zinya's life and that of her children time and time again. The rest of the Eldritches just sighed in resignation.

They had no care for the lives of mortals but they couldn't deny that under Vastor's leadership their race had made more progress in the last few decades than the Eldritches had achieved in eons by themselves.

Thanks to Nandi, they didn't need to scavenge for food anymore while the Master's arrays limited their hunger and stabilized their bodies enough for them to have a taste of their old lives.

The Eldritches would have followed Vastor against Mogar itself if that meant becoming one of his hybrids.

"My goal is to get my hands on Meln Narchat and kill him for good. The problem is that he and Night are held prisoners inside the Golden Griffon. Thrud and her academy are an obstacle in our path but I think to have found a way to get rid of them both."

Vastor leaned forward, handing copies of ancient documents that he had extracted from the Royal Library to everyone.

"Abominations aren't the only beings who were there when Arthan plunged into madness. There are plenty of members of the Undead Courts old enough to remember those events and unlike you, they have always been an integral part of Garlen society.

"While Abominations have always been mere witnesses, the undead have played an active role in most major events, and since before my coming, they were the only rulers of the criminal underworld.

"According to these documents, to escape Tyris' notice and cover his tracks, Arthan sought help from the undead. He tasked them to find the ingredients he couldn't take from the Royal Treasury without arousing suspicions and test some of his Forbidden Spells for him."

"Wait a second." Hushar the Leviathan said, having a hard time believing his own eyes as he read the papers. "Why would the undead bother helping Arthan? His experiments had no value for them and if the Council found out about the Undead Courts using Forbidden Magic, the Awakened would have hunted them down."

"That's where you are wrong." Vastor shook his head. "Undead are eternally young, but not immortal. They hoped that the same technology that today allows Thrud's soldiers to be regenerated inside the Golden Griffon would work for them as well.

"Had they succeeded, the Council would have posed no threat to them anymore. Worst case scenario, even if it didn't work on the undead, they could still use it to bring back their cattle.

"That Meln Narchat had no fear sending his Chosen to the Golden Griffon and that the Undead Courts were so quick switching sides after planning for his capture? I bet that the reason for their confidence is that they know something that we don't.
