Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2353

'Never again.'

'I beg you.'

Free at last'.'

A choir of voices prayed for the living to learn from the mistakes of the past as they faded away, free to move on.

"No, no, no!" Thrud yelled in despair as the destruction of the Golden Griffon was accompanied by the disappearance of the flow of world energy that empowered her and her army.

Without the resurrection chamber, she was no longer immortal and every fallen soldier would stay dead.

"Cry me a river, bitch!" Sylpha cut the Mad Queen's head off, her prowess now leagues above her enemy's.

"Please, let me at least check that my son is alright." The regenerative powers of the white core allowed Thrud to reattach her head to the neck and beg for the sake of Valeron the Second.

"You never cared for the children of others. This is for Phloria Ernas!" A blast of emerald energy destroyed the Arthan Set and most of the Mad Queen's body, killing her on the spot.

The Davross of her equipment, however, quickly reformed thanks to the self-repairing properties of the magical metal. Thrud, instead, remained dead.

"It's over. Surrender or die!" Sylpha's voice echoed throughout the battlefield putting an end to the War of the Griffons.

The Forgotten had died along with the Golden Griffon, leaving behind only the Awakened who had willingly joined Thrud.

They fell onto their knees and dropped their weapons, knowing that all was lost. Without the True Queen and her academy, defiance would only put Valeron the Second's life in danger.

"Seriously, what about the baby?" Sylpha asked Lith who shrugged in reply.

"We can ask Leegaain." He pointed at the group of Guardians who were still watching the events.

"Valeron the Second is safe." The Father of all Dragons said. "He is my grandchild and he isn't responsible for any of this. He's under my protection."

"But-"

"I allow that." Tyris said, cutting Sylpha short.

"Also, I'm going to take this as well." Leegaain picked up the Arthan set and had it float by his side. "This child is doomed to be haunted by the crimes of his ancestors. Valeron has already lost both of his parents and once he grows up, the entire Garlen will be his enemy.

"I won't allow him to lose the only thing he has left of his mother, no matter how bad she was."

"I agree." Tyris nodded again. "The Arthan set is a miracle of magic and it's neither good nor bad by itself. I hope that one day, Valeron the Second will prove to be worthy of the name he carries and find a way to redeem the mad blood that flows through his veins."

Lith and Sylpha didn't like the idea of losing such a prize one bit, especially Lith. The Arthan set consisted of tons of purified Davross that Salaark could recycle for him. Alas, arguing with the Guardians was a waste of time.

'Grandma is nodding as well. If I piss her off, I can kiss my Creation Magic lessons goodbye.' Lith thought.

"My Queen, there's more." General Vorgh said.
