Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2578

2578 Square One (Part 2)

"Raagu is all bark an no bite. Sharing knowledge is on a voluntary basis so we had no obligation to tell them anything." The Hydra said.

"Also, the Harmonizer was retrieved in my turf from people who were trying to frame me with Forbidden Magic so it was bound to be mine as compensation. As for Morok, he's a rogue Awakened who was just protecting his interests.

"The Council never did anything for him so he has no obligation towards its members as well." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Raagu nodded, her annoyed grimace fully expressing how much she hated when she was caught bluffing.

"I promised to give you proof that humans can really evolve and here it is." The Hydra said, ignoring the human representative's puffing. "Urhen is a Balor, a direct evolution of humans, and Ryla is a Fomor, one step further."

"So you say." Raagu tried to act indifferent but she knew that Faluel would never give up on the monopoly of something precious like the Harmonizer just to waste her time. "I've studied the life force of plenty of Balors and they had nothing human about them.

"If you want my help, I need to take a deep scan with my breathing technique. Only then can we discuss the terms of a deal, assuming there can be any."

Ryla stepped forward once again, but Faluel stopped her.

"No. Raagu needs to examine Urhen first because she's the human equivalent of a magical beast. Your life force is as different from a human's as that of an Emperor Beast is from an animal's."

"Syrah, what do I do?" The Balor was terrified.

The small human woman emitted an aura as powerful as Glemos and looked almost as kind. Greed, ambition, and excitement made the human representative's eyes shine like those of a kid eager to tear apart a butterfly's wings.

"Do as she says. We'll be ready to intervene the moment they try something funny." The Hati Queen channeled the power of 300 warg, spreading an aura that rivaled that of the Council members.

"I can't believe it." Feela regained her senses next, approaching Syrah with such tenderness that the Queen took a step back in confusion. "So much power without even being Awakened. You really did find a way back, sister."

"Not us, Glemos." Syrah half spoke half barked. "You have no idea how much pain and blood reaching this faulty state cost us."

"I'm so sorry." Feela nodded, keeping her distance to respect Syrah's boundaries. "I swear I had no idea of what your kind was going through or I'd have rallied the whole beast Council after Glemos's ass!

"He betrayed us as well. That fucker from a bloodline of fuckers betrayed his own kin." Her genuine outrage for someone she had just met really surprised the Hati Queen.

No one had ever apologized to her nor did they usually seem to care.

"But I'm with Raagu here. I need to check your life force as well or I can't help you."

"Do you need me or any Hati will do?" Syrah asked.

"I need someone with a Harmonizer, otherwise the corrupted life force will mess up with my readings." The Behemoth replied.
