Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2416

"They have also partly reached the next evolutionary step like the creatures we met in Faluel's mine." Solus said.

"That's why the trolls could suck darkness magic just by touching me and could cast Light Mastery without studying it!" Nyka said in shock.

"It also explains why the Warg was so damn strong and smart. She and her pack were halfway through becoming a Hati." Just saying those words made Tista's back hurt more.

"As I said, it's just a theory, but it covers all bases and answers all the questions you've asked me." Faluel rubbed one head under the other to scratch one of her long necks.

"That's why we must move quickly. I'm going to contact Ajatar and Morok in the hope that they can help us find Glemos' true lab. If we don't get there first, the Council will steal Morok's legacy and kill all those poor bastards.

"I've failed Echidna, but I'm not going to let the rest of her kind die like that. They did nothing wrong and, in a way, they are our distant relatives."

"That's wonderful news!" Kamila clapped her hands. "You are going to need Lith's help to rescue those poor souls and get your hands on the prize. Morok is about to marry and a bloodline legacy would do wonders for his status."

"Since when do you care so much about him and worry so little about me? Usually, you would go on and on about me risking my life and how worried you are while I work on the field." Lith knitted his brows in jealousy.

"I am worried about you, but I also care about our friends." She said with a radiant smile.

'I also can't wait to spend a few days without you shadowing me and treating me like a crystal vase.' She actually thought.

"Just one thing doesn't add up." Nyka's eyes burned with white light as Dawn spoke through her mouth. "Why did the monsters come out of hiding now and how could the humans and the magical beasts miss such a horde?"

"That's easy." Faluel replied. "If my theory is correct, Glemos needed lots of space and resources for his secret lab. He must have created a self-sufficient environment where the monsters lived while he studied the long-term effects of the Harmonizer on them.

"After his death, however, one of two things must have happened. Either the monsters have started to reproduce without care for population control and have run out of food, or they have come out to search for their missing 'god'.

"Thanks to their intelligence, they didn't waste time nor did they damage the surroundings in order to not alert their prey. The monsters must have moved out from the secret lab in numbers and then aimed for the cities with a mana geyser like Ne'sra.

"Whatever their goal is, a place like that is the perfect starting point for their search while also keep breeding."

"Not really." Solus shook her head. "Ne'sra has more abundance of food compared to other cities but still there wasn't enough to feed such a huge swarm even if they let the population starve."

"Really?" Lith looked her in the eyes, sighing. "Solus, you should know that partially reverted or not, those creatures are still monsters. They would've never let the people of Ne'sra starve because they would have eaten them first.

"Monsters consider even their own kin as food, let alone members of the other races."

"Indeed." The Hydra and Dawn nodded.

"Then we must alert the Kingdom immediately!" Solus gasped in horror. "What if more cities are about to be sieged as we speak and they fall because we are here blabbering?"
