Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2932

Chapter 2932 The Path Ahead (Part 4)

"Based on what you told me, once the undead wore the Harmonizers, they became immune to the sun."

"Not exactly." Lith said. "The only thing we know for sure is that they were capable of moving during the day. We met them underground so there's no way to know if sunlight was still lethal or not."

"Also, don't forget that Malyshka made her children weak to the sun on purpose." Solus said. "I don't think she has changed her mind about it."

"I know, but I also know that she had no qualms about letting her children roam free despite their unintended flaws." Leegaain countered. "What if she considers the newfound immunity a flaw as well and she works on it while her new and improved undead spread?

"On top of that, even just the ability to move during the day would be a game changer. So far, only a few undead races and undead elders can do that and it always comes at a price.

"If all undead became capable of staying awake at full strength during the day, they would double the time they have to dedicate to the practice of magic. There would be no time when the living have a tactical advantage.

"Even worse, there is no telling what the lack of slumber might do to their sanity. Undead never get tired and unlike Liches, they are social creatures. If they lose their minds, the cost in lives to put them down would be high."

Protheus and the other Doppelgangers finished their discussion while Faluel had barely started discussing her own issue with Leegaain, bringing it to a premature end.

"Most of us agree to the deal." Protheus waved at those behind him. "Yet there are a few who would like to have a bit more time to think."

About a dozen Doppelgangers kept themselves a few steps of distance with an awkward look on their faces.

"We are still too sad, angry, or scared for what happened to the True Queen." A gelatinous humanoid creature said. "If we get out now under such harsh conditions, we'd be a liability for our brethren.

"We don't want them to fail your trials because of us. Mogar might not be ready for us, but my companions and I sure are not ready for Mogar."

"A wise choice." Leegaain nodded. "You can stay here as long as you need, but make no mistake. I will judge you as individuals, not as a whole. The success or failure of any of you won't influence the outcome of the others unless they contributed to it."

The group of Doppelgangers sighed in relief, giving the Guardian a bow of respect.

"It's excellent news but in our current state, we'd be a burden to anyone associating with us."

"When do we start?" Protheus asked.

"It depends on Faluel." The Father of All Dragons nodded at the Hydra. "The moment she brings the Divine Beasts out, I'll send the Doppelgangers to their respective destinations."

"I need some time to plan our voyage." Faluel replied.

'And also to think about whether to involve Baba Yaga or not.' She actually thought. 'I've already heard Grandfather's and Lith's opinion but I have yet to ask Mom's. She's the only one I can trust to not make a fuss and get burdened with political bullshit.'
