Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2298

"More like she doesn't want to lose another weapon to the enemy." Lith grunted. "Any idea how to get to Deirus' Grand Duchy before it's too late?"

"Give me a moment." The Shadow Dragon contacted her siblings from the Organization, checking on their current position.

"I'm the closest to your destination and I'm getting closer by the second." Nelia the Frost Griffon was using Chaos Steps to pierce through space and Life Maelstrom to further extend the range of her spells.

Each Steps allowed her to cross hundreds of kilometers at once, crossing two regions in a few seconds.

"Ready when you are." She said while conjuring the Eldritch melody and the black pillar that came with it.

"Incoming." Zoreth did the same and the other three hybrids followed suit.

Their pillars resonated with each other, detecting Nelia's signal and using it to pinpoint her dimensional coordinates. A hole in space appeared, its edges pitch-black and spinning like a buzzsaw, releasing sparks as they moved.

"Get in." The Shadow Dragon said and Lith complied, crossing half the Kingdom in one step.

"Whoever you are, thank you." Lith gave Nelia a deep bow. "Are you coming with us? We could use a Griffon and your Life Maelstrom."

"I can, if you don't mind the Distar region falling under the Undead Courts." The Eldritch cocked her head to a side. "Your friend Brinja has sent so many members of the Corps away that there are few guarding her.

"If the Courts get their hands on her private Gate and the amulet that activates it…"

"They could go anywhere!" Lith completed the phrase in horror.

"Yeah. It's a huge power move meant as a distraction, if you ask me. Compromise your home to force you to choose between duty and family. That or Thrud really doesn't want to be disturbed." Nelia said.

"Do you need reinforcements?" He asked, making her laugh.

"How precious of you." Nelia caressed Lith's head. "Thanks, but no thanks. The presence of others would just limit the strength I can safely employ. I could use a good meal, though. Traveling so much made me work quite an appetite."

"You got it." Nandi nodded and conjured the surrounding world energy before feeding it to the Frost Griffon.

It worked akin to Invigoration, making her recover all the lost mana and stamina.

"That hit the spot. Thanks, Nandi. Before you go…" Nelia released several small bolts of silver lightning, powering everyone up. "Sorry I can't do more, but recharging Life Maelstrom takes time and I must save enough to ensure the success of my mission."

"Thank you so much." Solus gave her a deep bow.

"You don't even know me yet you boosted me no less than the others."

"Don't mention it, kid. You are important to Lith and Lith is important to Father. It's more than enough for me. Dragonspeed." Nelia said before turning around.

"Dragonspeed to you too!" Solus managed to say before the Griffon disappeared at the horizon.

"Let's move before the Life Maelstrom fades out." Zoreth bolted forward while being careful not to exceed her normal speed in order to preserve the precious silver lightning.

'Solus?' Lith asked.
