Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2925

Chapter 2925 Ravages of War (Part 1)

The Elder Hydra didn't like being kept out of the loop, but she knew that Lith had many secrets and that there was little trust between them. If not for Fyrwal knowing Solus as Elphyn Menadion, there would be none at all.

"Fine, but be careful. If Ufyl runs away, finding and capturing him alive would be your responsibility." The underground cave went into an uproar but the Elder Hydra quelled the dissent.

"Silence! The Council entrusted Ufyl to me. The decision is mine to make."

"I have no intention of escaping! I want to atone for my crimes, no matter the personal cost or how long it will take." The Seven-Headed Dragon snarled at the crowd in outrage.

"I hope so." Anata hissed. "The War of the Griffon is far from forgotten and there's plenty of people out there who would gladly rectify the Council's decision to grant you mercy."

Not everyone had welcomed Ufyl back into the fold and the lead Forgemaster's family was among them. They had lost several friends and relatives during the war.

To make matters worse, during the conflict the Seven-Headed Dragon had also led the Mad Queen to the lairs of the Hydras he deemed responsible for his misfortunes. Their vaults had been raided and their owners wounded or worse.

"I know. You guys have every right to hate me." Ufyl lowered his gaze in shame. "I'll be back. I promise."

"You bet-" Before Anata could reply, Fyrwal dispelled the white array surrounding Ufyl and Faluel Warped the four of them to her lair.

"You can't go around like that. Shapeshift into human form." She said while taking everything she might need in case things went south.

Ufyl nodded, assuming the features of a handsome blonde man, about 1.96 meters (6'5") tall man, with blue eyes, a muscular body, a short beard, and the seven elemental streaks.

"First, clothes." Lith said while Solus became red up to her ears. "Second, no streaks. Let's try not to draw too much attention. Third, get shorter. Otherwise you are going to impress no one but the wrong people."

"You are right. Is this better?" Ufyl shrunk down to 1.84 meters (6'), becoming as tall as Lith, and his hair became wheat blonde.

"Almost. What about those pants?"

"Party pooper." Faluel grumbled and handed the Dragon a spare set of clothes she had prepared for Ryman.

As soon as Ufyl imprinted the shirt and pants, they shrunk to fit his size like they had been tailor-made. Then, Lith opened a Warp Steps leading to his home.

"Guys, I'm back and I bring two guests. Faluel and Valeron's Uncle."

The Seven-Headed Dragon had yet to take a look around when his eyes fell on the playpen and a tiny voice said: "Ufy!"

"My Liege!" Ufyl dribbled the extended hands and ignored those who tried to introduce themselves to him, kneeling in front on the babies with his head down on the floor. "I have been so worried about you.

"I was afraid of what the Council might have done to you after the fall of the Golden Griffon." He said amid hiccups, feeling a huge burden lifted from his chest.

Valeron tried to reach him, but the spells of the playpen kept him inside until Lith opened it up. Then, he handed the baby boy to Ufyl while Shargein carried Elysia and both sniffed with curiosity at the newcomer.

"Guys, this is Ufyl, one of Thrud's former Generals and one of the members of Valeron's extended family."

The Verhens were still greeting Faluel and questioning her about the identity of the stranger when the revelation made them gasp.

"Is it safe bringing him here?" Raaz asked, instinctively shielding Surin with his body. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
