Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2499

2499 Second Wave (Part 1)

Im no Forgemaster, I'm no Awakened, and I've got no Adamant for my equipment let alone Davross. Even if I manage to achieve all those things, where the heck do I get a mage tower to counter Dawn's?

More importantly, do I really want to spend centuries chasing after her? How on Mogar is Dawn more important than Friya, Selia, and my adoptive family to me? Nalrond had no answer to those questions.

"Hello, guys. If someone died, please tell me. When I make an inappropriate joke, it must be on purpose otherwise I can't enjoy the moment." Morok arrived alongside Ajatar the Drake, putting an end to such morbid thoughts.

"Did you resent your father for what he did to you?" Nalrond asked, needing advice from someone who had lived through a similar hurdle.

"And hello to you too." The Tyrant snorted. "Yes, of course I did. Why?"

"What did you feel when he died? Was it worth the wait?"

"I didn't feel anything" Morok shrugged. "I despised Glemos but I knew that killing him wouldn't give me back

my mother or anything I've lost over the years. To be honest, if it wasn't for Quylla and master Ajatar, I would have been lost after Glemos' death. "If revenge was the purpose of my whole life, achieving it would have also meant having nothing to live for anymore. Why do you ask?"

'Gods, that's exactly how I felt back when Lith and Solus defeated Dawn and I considered my grudge settled. I just resigned to die. Nalrond thought.

"We'll talk about this later. He actually said. "Faluel, is there any news about the horde of mutated monsters created by the Harmonizers?"

"No, but the Council has made a rough estimate of the time the resources they plundered should last. The Hydra replied. "If those monsters live above a mana geyser and they breed at a speed akin to the unfallen races, the food will last for several months since many of them died during the attacks. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"If they are continuing Glemos' experiments, however, they'll need more soon."

"How soon?" Nalrond asked, glad to have a more pressing matter at hand.

"That's impossible to say." Ajatar shrugged. "There are too many unknown variables like the number of monsters who didn't take part in the pillaging, whether the children of Glemos are cultivating crops or not, and if they let their offspring develop at a regular or accelerated rate."

"Then you've made us come here just to state the obvious? That we have no idea when and where the next attack will take place? The Rezar yelled in outrage.

"No one can know the future, child." Ajatar rose an eyebrow at Nalrond's outburst, having no idea that his nerves were still shaken from the previous conversation. "Yet I crunched some numbers.

"If we assume that the invading force was just half the monsters and that after seizing the resources they'll limit themselves to restore their original population, then their food reserves can last for another month tops.

"While the forces of the Royals are stretched thin due to the aftermath of the War of the Griffons and the Council considers the monsters a minor annoyance, we know about the Harmonizers.

"If we keep ready and close to a Gate at all times, the moment something happens we can be the first to respond. It will increase our chances to follow the monsters to their hideout and retrieve Morok's legacy.
