Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2224

"I'm pretty sure I never had the pleasure of meeting these gentlemen." Zolgrish scratched his chin, his face a mask of sheer focus as he tried to jog his memory. "Besides, Scourge looks nothing like this."

The Lich conjured from his staff the hologram of a beautiful woman who was slowly taking off her skimpy clothes. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

"That's your private folder!" Ratpack facepalmed. "Look under associates."

"Damn, you are right. Just a second." The holograms of more women and men appeared as Zolgrish browsed through his files and all of them were of the same kind as the first. "It's not what you think. It's all research material related to your visit."

Finally, a hologram of Lith with his name written in big letters both above and below appeared. It shapeshifted into all of his known forms while the letters now formed the words "It's always the same guy."

"See, Ratpack? I told you that this is Scourge, you damn airhead. How could you fail to recognize him?" The Lich's flimsy memory had already rearranged the events in a more flattering way.

Too bad the others didn't share his delusions.

"Nice to meet you again, Ratpack." Lith bent down to get at the small undead's eye level. "Can you please tell me what you see when you look at us?"

Back when they had met for the first time in Zolgrish's lab, Ratpack had been able to see Solus' real form. The undead hybrid was gifted with Soul Vision thanks to his elf half, but Lith had no idea of it nor of the existence of Soul Vision.

"Nice be treated like person for once." Ratpack sighed. "You monster while Bright Lady almost done with second last thin chain. Big chain got bigger instead."

The small undead saw Solus' figure hammering at one of the chains restricting her that was close to falling apart. Also, the chain that connected her to Lith had almost doubled its size.

"When you say monster, do you mean that I'm ugly or what? What about my wife?" Lith asked, knowing that Ratpack used himself as a standard, making everyone else ugly to him.

"You ugly and monster now. Different. Scary. She just ugly instead." Ratpack pointed at Kamila who despite being forewarned was offended by his words. "This, however…"

Ratpack pointed at her womb, licking his lips several times as he tried and failed to describe the thing that was staring him in the eyes.

"Damn, where are my manners?" Inxialot gasped in embarrassment when he finally remembered the difference between host and guests.

"I could tell you where I'm going to shove them along with my staff, but not in the presence of a child." Aylen snarled, pointing at Shargein.

"Dear Lith, Constable, and Guardians, allow me to introduce my housemates to you." The Lich King ignored her and continued. "You already know my mother, Aylen."

"It's a pleasure." She offered her hand to everyone in turn and they shook it.

"You are also already acquainted with my apprentice Zolgrish and his minion, Ratpack."

The two undead just waved their hands, then Zolgrish asked Ratpack who those people were and when they had entered the room.

"The furballs belong to my mother. They are respectively Fluffy, Fiery, Blacky, Warmy, Purry, Princess, General Paws, and of course, Inxialot Junior!" The Lich's voice turned cold at the last name.

The cat showed the Lich King his paw in reply, extending solely the middle claw in an unmistakable rude gesture.
