Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2556

The monsters believed in the miracle because, after such a dark day, they desperately wanted to. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

The Hydra quickly fixed the hole in the upper levels and before returning to Zelex, she set several arrays that would cloak the entrance from detection spells and alert the others on the outside in case the infiltration team needed backup.

·?θm By the time she was back, Morok was still unconscious between Ryla's arms but a few of his scales had turned from black to white.

Friya nervously turned her head from the collapsed passage to the Tyrant. Her body language was a clear statement of how awkward the situation was to her and how scared she was of her hosts.

'Think that you are doing it for Nalrond and don't focus too much on the fact that if anything goes wrong, we'd go from dinner guests to main dishes in a heartbeat.' With dimensional magic sealed, the moment they got to the heart of Zelex they would have no way out.

Lith was a Divine Beast but even he had chosen to fight at the borders of the city to have a clear retreat path and force the children of Glemos to split their forces. He had done everything he could to avoid being surrounded and yet he hadn't hesitated sending Friya and the others in the maw of the beast.

On the bright side, however, her attitude was exactly what Syrah would expect from a human in that situation, dispelling her doubts about that situation being just a farce.

"Good gods. With friends like you who needs enemies?" Morok stirred, suffering jolts of pain every time his blackened scales touched anything. "Why did you keep shooting at me? The demon was the other guy."

"Forgive me, my lord." Ryla bowed her head. "I felt the affinity between your scales and my wings and I assumed they worked the same way. I never meant to hurt you."

"That's even worse." The Tyrant groaned, trying and failing to stand up. "If this is what happens when you don't even try, I cannot imagine- Wait, what affinity?"

"You don't know?" Br'ey's eyes went wide in surprise.

"Do I look like someone who does?" Morok pointed at his own battered body, whimpering.

"The reason you are recovering so quickly is that your scales are constantly drawing the surrounding world energy akin to my crystal and her wings." The orc shaman said. "The black scales are temporarily overloaded while the white ones contain all elements.

"Once enough of your scales recover, the elements will be split and stored again as it happens to a Fomor's feathers."

"What's a Fomor?" Morok knew the answer already but since he was passed out right after the battle, he had to feign ignorance.

After a second round of explanations, it was the Tyrant's turn to introduce himself.

"My name is Morok Eari, son of Glemos." It took him sheer willpower to not speak his father's name like it was poison and not spit once he was done. "These are my friends, Faluel the Hydra and Friya Herata.

"They both accepted to join me in my quest for revenge due to the threat that the demons pose to all our respective races. That thing was obsessed with those attuned to all elements like us so we decided to join our forces."

Morok gave Friya a fake last name, afraid that the Ernas name might have been on Lith's file that Elder Urma had shown to the senate and that if anyone remembered about it, it could blow their cover.

"So they are not your wives?" Ryla asked with too much enthusiasm for Morok's liking.
