Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2152

2152 Big Guns (Part 2)

"What do you mean?"

"We both advised Lith never to practice Chaos magic and because of that he always avoided turning into his Abomination form. That part of his life force is comprised entirely of darkness and Chaos.

"Even though it's just a spark, a Cursed Elements affects the body and the mind even of its user. My theory is that the longer Lith retains the Abomination form, the more his mind is twisted by the Chaos until this happens." She waved at the traces of the fight that the self-repairing enchantment of the Throne Room had yet to fix.

She had no idea that Chaos had nothing to do with Lith's outburst. The Void and Lith were one and the same, but that side of his personality was akin to the Demons stored in his feathers.

The Void lived trapped in a loop, reliving non-stop the abuse from his Earth father and the death of his brother, Carl.

"Are you telling us that all of our efforts, your discoveries, and even my husband's sacrifice are for nothing? That we just wasted our time?" Sylpha's eyes burned with bright violet mana as she clenched the Sword of Saefel so hard that her hand turned white.

The colored crystal on both the armor and the blade hummed with power as their enchantments released energy sparks, ready to be unleashed at a moment's notice.

She didn't actually blame the Abomination hybrid, but without Lith the War of the Griffons would be almost impossible to win. Meron was still alive, but knowing that now he was likely to die before her, made the Queen already grieve his loss.

She needed someone to blame for that disaster. Anyone would do.

"No. As I said, it's just a spark. On top of that, do I look crazy to you? With time, all Abominations learn how to resist the influence of Chaos and regain their sanity." Xenagrosh's words made everyone sigh in relief.

"It's only a matter of surviving long enough and of how many people we kill before that happens." The second part made them turn tense again as if the first had never happened.

"So, you think that Lith just needs to get used to his Abomination form?" Raagu asked.

"That's my hope." Xenagrosh nodded.

"If that's the case, Lith can't stay here." Kamila said, caressing his head.

She had hoped that her touch would make the shadows disappear like usual but this time it didn't work. The darkness didn't hurt her but it also held its ground, enveloping Lith like a shroud.

It had never happened before and it scared both Kamila and Solus to the bone.

"If he sees any of you when he wakes up, he's going to attack first and talk second. To make him reason, Lith needs to be in a familiar place and be surrounded by people he trusts."

"I agree." Xenagrosh nodded. "But we can't bring him to Lutia. His family is comprised of regular humans and if he hurts them, his trauma will only grow worse. We should-"

"There's no we." Kamila shook her head. "Faluel and I will take care of him in her lair."

"Why the Hydra?" Xenagrosh was flabbergasted. "I'm stronger than her. I can protect you much better and help Lith control the Chaos!"

"I don't need protection. Even in his frenzy, not one of his spells gazed me." Kamila replied. "On top of that, you are the one who knocked him down. He is bound to attack you on sight whereas Faluel is his mentor and friend.

"As long as she keeps herself at a distance, he won't feel threatened."
