Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2146

Sylpha glared at the members of the Council who shrugged in reply. She had no idea that just like Lith's cracked life force compromised his lifespan so would the effects of the Forbidden Spell on anyone who didn't carry Arthan's blood.

Meron had lost a decade while the Awakened would have lost hundreds of years, if not their very life. Meron at least carried Valeron's and Tyris' blood, making him at least similar to Arthan, whereas the Council representatives had none.

"I'll honor your sacrifice, your majesty, but you've underestimated the magnitude of what you are asking from me. We'll discuss it after the test." Lith first shapeshifted into his Tiamat form and then stripped, entrusting everything to Kamila.

"Why did you do that?" Raagu was flabbergasted. "We need to check your Abomination side."

"Of which I have limited experience and control." Lith replied. "I can't risk damaging my equipment and I'm not showing myself naked."

"You never trained your Abomination half?" Sylpha turned pale.

"It's not like I spent the last few years playing around." The Tiamat snarled. "I got these powers for but a few months and I spent most of them fighting for you. Also, everyone I met told me not to practice Chaos magic so what was the point of training my Abomination form?"

'On top of that, after what happened with Ilka, I don't trust myself with this power.' He inwardly added.

"He's right. I forbade him to." Faluel and Xenagrosh said in unison.

Lith closed his eyes, focusing on the heavy melody of the Void that comprised his life force. Now it had spread to the red human tendrils and the violet stars of the beast side, but its tune was unmistakable.

It was full of wrath and fury, more a scream than a song. Lith focused on his past and the pain it carried, shapeshifting into something in between an Eldritch and an Empowered Abomination.

In that form, Lith still resembled Derek McCoy but only those who had seen his memories of his previous life would be able to recognize him. To anyone else, Kamila included, he was just different.

Long straight horns came out of his forehead while curved horns came out of the base of his skull, covering his neck. His upside-down membranous wings became normal while the feathered wings were absorbed in the black mass of his body.

Seven eyes each of a different elemental color opened on his face along with a lipless white maw. His height hadn't changed and he stood over 2 meters (7') tall. His mass was also unaffected by the transformation.

The Abomination form's full size was smaller than the Tiamat, but the energy it was made of was so dense that it almost had physical substance. The Chaos mixed with darkness drained the light in the room, making his black claws and talons glisten.

Solus' ring slipped on Kamila's finger, shrinking her size until it hurt in worry.

'What's wrong?' Kamila asked through the mind link she knew would be there.

'Be on guard. That's Lith and yet he isn't.' Solus remembered well how the Void had attempted to devour Lith in the Hogum Household.

She also remembered all the times when his Abomination side had run wild and hurt her. It was the only side of Lith she had no hold on. It didn't scare her, but it hurt her more than she would admit.

The Void was nothing but the remnants of Derek McCoy that had transcended space. A scarred fragment that lived in the darkest part of Lith's mind. It was the embodiment of all Derek's traumas that he had unleashed back on Earth after losing everything. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
