Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2192

His Dragonclaw bastard sword and his Kingslayer armor grew with him, both engraved with mana crystals of seven different colors, lacking only the emerald green of Spirit Magic.

Yet instead of unsheathing his weapon, Jormun extended his hand in an unmistakable gesture and crossed half the distance separating them. Lith hung War to his hip, shapeshifting into a Tiamat as he moved forward as well.

He had already experienced it once with Xenagrosh and knew what it meant.

Dragons were creatures of cold intellect and would rarely base their decisions on emotions. It was also the reason they expressed their respective feelings through the contact of their scales rather than words.

The moment Lith shook Jormun's hand, they could understand each other's burden and motivations. How both of them were just doing what they considered best for their respective spouse and child.

There was no hatred between them, only understanding. The handshake lasted barely a second, yet it was as if the two of them had just had a long and honest conversation.

"I'm sorry, little brother. I really wanted to avoid this." Jormun's eyes became veiled with tears for a brief instant before he managed to regain his cool.

"So am I." Lith shared none of the family bonds that the Emerald Dragon felt towards him so his eyes just turned white as he went back to being an Abomination.

At the same time, he remembered well his past meetings with Jormun.

Even when they had failed to understand each other, Jormun had never tried to harm Lith. After reaching the Headmaster's office for the first time, if not for the Emerald Dragon's help Lith would have been entrapped and enslaved by the Golden Griffon.

When Orpal had set up a death match for them in his secret lair, Jormun had foiled the Dead King's plans by refusing to fight Lith and giving him the goods that belonged to Orpal. Even then, they had talked it out.

The only time they had fought it had been when Jormun was still under the slave array and because Thrud had ordered him to.

"Don't think that our fight will go the same way as the last." Jormun said while spreading a violet aura. "Back then, I was not Awakened and I was a prisoner of my own mind.

"This time you are not facing an unwilling slave, but a man with a reason to fight for."

"I couldn't have said it any better." Lith's body exuded a violet-black aura due that was in no way inferior to the Emerald Dragon's.

"Kill them all." The moment the order was given, the Forgotten jumped at the enemy and Hystar resumed his attack.

"Stay behind me!" Vladion stepped forward, activating Life Aura again to block the incoming volley of spells and not break Kalla's eye contact with the power core.

The Firstborn Vampire cursed their bad luck.

'Why did we have to trip right in front of the finishing line?' He thought. 'To make matters worse, my equipment is better, my battle experience is superior, but these bastards are many and my blood core is weakened!'

A blue cored semi-Lich had no chance of survival against a single opponent of that caliber. _{freewebnøvel.com}
