Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2764

Chapter 2764 Puny Human (Part 2)

"I'll explain it to you like the Overlord did to me. Elemental magic can be divided into three branches. The elements of creation…" And then the god of death explained to Scarlett the basics of magic just like Lith had done for Aran and Leria just a few years ago.

***

City of Verlam, capital of the Essagor Grand Duchy.

Lith was usually right in his predictions, but this was one of the exceptions to the rule.

After failing to kill him inside the Verhen Mansion, the Undead Courts had indeed shifted their target, but they had no intention of attacking his wife or the rest of his family in Lutia.

Kamila was already under heavy protection due to the bounty on her head. The Queen's Corps, the Corpse, the magical beasts, and the golems followed her every time she went out of the house, making any attempt on her life suicidal at best.

Only thralls could attack her during the day and during the night, when the undead's strength was at its peak, she stayed home with her daughter. No one wanted to live another Day of the Black Sun nor were they stupid enough to challenge a Guardian.

Raaz, Elina, and the others lived under similar conditions as well.

Sure, no Guardian followed them unless they babysat Elysia, but after her birth had established the advent of the Demon bloodline, many Dragons and Phoenixes liked to visit those they now considered as members of their extended family.

Surin received lots of guests and so did Valeron the Second. The sheer number of Divine Beasts hanging around the Verhens and teaching Aran and Leria magic during the day made even the thought of attacking them pure madness.

At night, the visitors would go away but the Verhens would move to the Mansion to sleep and the place had already proven to be impregnable.

The Undead Courts had no idea how a kill team comprised of twelve elite elders could disappear without a single survivor or even making a peep. For this reason, they had no intention to make a second attempt before understanding what had happened.

So, they had shifted their focus to a much easier target.

Zinya Vastor was Kamila's only living relative about whom she cared. Killing Crefas and Kima Retta implied infiltrating a Kingdom's prison just to make Kamila a favor.

Zinya, instead, was not only just a normal human woman with no powers or protector whatsoever, but she had also never gotten used to the noble society's strict rules and she kept moving around without a personal detail.

As the Archduchess of the land and the wife of an Archmage, the Queen's Corps protected her, but Zinya never bothered giving them her daily schedule nor did she bring around guards from the Vastor household.

She was the perfect target for the perfect plan.

Once the Undead Courts kidnapped her, she would be the perfect hostage. If Verhen followed their instructions to save her, he would fall into a deadly trap. If he didn't, they would simply kill Zinya and plant the seed of destruction in his marriage.
