Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2357

Tyris had a hard choice to make, yet the answer came unexpectedly easy.

"Thank you, Lith, but no." She shook her head. "You've seen how much Juria suffered by being here. I've probably worried Valeron for centuries by never letting go of him.

"Forcing him to come back would be as cruel as dangerous."

"What do you mean, dangerous?" Lith said.

"Valeron was a white core and becoming one of your Demons would give him a black core." Tyris replied. "If he manages to fuse them, he might not need your assistance to stay here anymore."

"Really?" Lith's eyes went wide in disbelief.

"It's a risk I'm not going to take." Tyris nodded. "The pain from being back to life and his love for me might also drive him insane. Saefel's Set or not, you don't want to have Valeron as an enemy.

"The form he acquired after achieving the white core was truly powerful. Worthy of the King of mankind."

"What are you talking about?" Lith projected an image of Valeron from the historical archives that looked no different from a normal man.

"Silly child." The Great Mother giggled. "Thrud evolved into a Golden Griffon upon reaching the white. Baba Yaga evolved from an Odi into a Sun Weaver. Why does no one ever wonder what Valeron and Lochra have become?"

"What did Valeron become?" Lith echoed.

"A better man. That was his hope and how he called his form." Tyris said with a sigh. "In a way, he looked like you, just not so gloomy."

"Like this?" Lith waved at his Abomination form in amazement.

"Gods, sometimes I wish you really belonged to my bloodline instead of Salaark's."

"Because it would give you someone of Valeron's blood who can understand you and be close to you? Lith asked.

"No, because it would make everyone crap their pants at the idea of you becoming King. It would be hilarious." Tyris chuckled. "Valeron too would laugh his ass off if he were still alive.

"The rumors about the two of us sleeping together, however, would greatly anger him."

"Well, I'm no King material, that's for sure." Lith shrugged. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

"And neither was Valeron. He just pointed the way and hoped for the others to follow him." She replied.

"Yeah, but at what price?" Lith shapeshifted into his human form, lowering his eyes to the golden lily pendant in his hand. "I'm sorry, but now I have to do this."

Lith stepped through the door of the mausoleum, walking for the first and last time in front of Phloria's tomb. There were candles lit for her and a small stone tray for offerings.

He left the pendant there, closing his eyes and remembering the day he had gifted it to Phloria and how happy it had made her. Even after the breakup, she had never taken the lily pendant off.

Until her final moment, Phloria had never stopped to believe in Lith and him in her.
