Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2604

Faluel didn't trust the Eldritches enough to share with them the knowledge she gained from the secret Tyrant's bloodline legacy, but she could use it along with her expertise as a skilled Forgemaster to give tips and hints to Bytra.

'I hate to admit it, but even with my mother's help grasping the technology devised by generations of Tyrants on our own would take too long.' The Hydra thought. 'If I can't get to have the Harmonizers mass-produced by the time the situation in Jiera stabilizes, the monsters and the Council will go to war.

'On top of that, I need the resources of the Council to Forgemaster enough Harmonizers for everyone. Without its help, I would end up squandering my own bloodline legacy.'

Truth be told, Fyrwal had agreed to help her daughter only because her studies on Ufyl's life force had come to a dead end. He was the only Hydra to have ever evolved into a Dragon, even though only thanks to the Ambrosia and Thrud's Madness.

Faluel's mother wasn't as desperate as Glemos about becoming a Divine Beast but her curiosity was piqued and the Harmonizer might turn out to be the solution to her problem.

"While everyone else will stumble and fall in the search of a way to further their evolution, we will progress smoothly." Fyrwal said. "Ufyl's life force is the perfect mold for our endeavor.

"He's not like the Balors who evolved millennia ago, fell, and then artificially evolved into Fomors. Ufyl was a Hydra until less than a year ago and Forbidden Magic unlocked the path that our species is supposed to follow.

"Unlike the Tyrant's bloodline who forged new species by force, Thrud simply unlocked our potential and Ufyl's life force is stable. We just need to devise a Body Sculpting spell that changes our nature into that of Seven Headed Dragons and then study how the Harmonizer enforces the process.

"Once every Hydra knows the starting point and their destination, success will be just a matter of time."

Faluel was scared at the idea that changing her life force so drastically might also alter her personality, but the prospect of gaining Origin Flames and Dragon Eyes like Ufyl was just too tempting.

Yet all of this had happened in the time after the discovery of Zelex and before Quylla's marriage. Now that everyone had come to the Verhen Mansion to attend, they each focused on the future.

"I can't believe that the time has come for our Little One to spread her wings and leave the nest." Orion sighed like a bellows. "Seven years ago, Quylla was just a nameless orphan that you tricked into adoption."

Jirni looked at her husband's eyes, noticing there was no rebuke for her manipulations.

"Then came Balkor, Nalear forced Quylla to kill Yurial, and that poor girl went through a lot to find her way in life. Yet she did it and we with her."

"I only wish our Little Flower was here with us today." Jirni turned toward the padded chair at her left, where a replica of Reaver and the golden lily pendant sat.

It had been Quylla's desire to have the mementos of her late sister there, to have Phloria share that moment with her, at least in spirit. Not a day went by without the Ernas thinking about her, wondering what they could have done differently to bring her back home alive.
