Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2673

2673 Phoenix's Forge (Part 1)

Lith was now much stronger than the Phoenixes, but every member of the Nest had to achieve the bright violet core on their own and acquire at least one millennium of battle experience to earn a spot in the Overlord's elite forces.

Also, every piece of their equipment was crafted by Salaark, boosting the guards' physical and magical prowess by several folds.

The effect of surprise from the hybrid's might lasted only for a split second after which the Phoenixes used teamwork to make up for the gap in raw power.

"We come in peace!" The creature's roar shook the palace's tent, making their claim sound insincere. "We are Lith/Solus!"

The guards bolted forward with perfect coordination, forcing the intruder to decide what to block and what to endure, but no matter the choicethey made, they would take a lot of damage.

The Hybrid roared again, using War to deflect a spear, three hands to block as many incoming weapons, and their wings to swat the Phoenixes coming from behind like flies.

The Guards reacted by turning their bodies and weapons into living Origin Flames to escape the enemy's grasp and continue their onslaught.

The Hybrid took a deep breath, charging his mouths and eight wings with different kinds of Flames that they unleashed against the incoming Phoenixes.

"Enough!" A burst of white aura followed by the blackest darkness since the Void stopped all the mystical flames.

For a moment, Lith and Solus thought that Dawn had somehow followed them with her steed, but their mystical senses corrected them.

Sinmara, the white-cored Phoenix of Darkness and Salaark's right-hand man, had appeared in the middle of the conflict, putting an end to it.

"Little brother? Is that really you?" It took her a while to decipher the energy signature resulting from the fusion.

"Yes, dammit!" They had never been so happy to see her since the day Sinmara had refused to help them save Phloria. "Please, call Grandma. We need her help."

They showed Sinmara War, taking care of not exposing her to either the deadly blade or hilt.

She looked at the shattered blade and dozens of questions popped up in her mind but she voiced none.

'It can wait.' She thought while alerting the Overlord of a code blood emergency.

It was both the highest state of alert of the palace and something that only a member of the family in distress could trigger. It bypassed the Hushing and dimensional boundary arrays that the Overlord used for her most important business.

Like those with which she was dealing right now.

Jiera's colonization was a big deal and so were the blueprints of the trains that she was plotting to seize. Salaark was above stealing from one of her Featherlings but the Royals were another story. _{freewebnøvel.com}

Economic espionage was part of the political game, something that the Empire and the Kingdom attempted on the Blood Desert every day so the Overlord had no qualms about returning the favor.

'If Lith is so na?ˉve that he entrusted those idiots with such a masterpiece he can't blame me for-'The code blood interrupted the meeting with her high command and provided Salaark with the dimensional coordinates of the emergency.

She Warped away without a word, no explanation asked nor given.
