3005 Poisoned Well (Part 1)

Xenagrosh alone would have been enough to kill Maergron already if only she didn't have to preserve the Ears. A full-powered burst of Origin Flames would have likely destroyed the artifact along with the Redcap and so would most of her best spells.

She could feel Bytra's eyes on her, begging the Shadow Dragon not to ruin the mission.

'I can't give Solus her mother's back. I can't undo what my original self did in the past. What I can do is protect Menadion's legacy and help her daughter retrieve what's left of it.' The Raiju wasn't as strong as the Shadow Dragon but her most powerful abilities were still too dangerous.

Chaos spells and plasma blades would destroy the Ears beyond repair and she couldn't allow it.

'I must not make that bastard feel cornered until I find a way to safely kill him. Otherwise he might reveal the existence of the Ears to bargain for his life or destroy it out of spite. A cornered prey is the most unpredictable one.' Bytra, Lith, and Solus thought in unison.

Rhuta let the Fetters fade. He had already wasted too much mana to repair the spell over and over and it was now clear that as long as the Redcap moved that quickly, it was a wild goose chase.

"Useless as always, Rhuta Ailius. I guess your nickname as the Pinkie of the Hand of Fate is well-deserved." Maergron mocked him, hitting the Awakened's pride where he knew would hurt the most.

'How does he know my full name and even the nickname those assholes of my old unit gave me?' Outrage and surprise made him lose focus in the middle of a spell, forcing him to weave it from scratch.

'We've stopped using our names the moment we realized our mark could listen to us.'

Lith entered the fray right when Strider had purged the mana poisoning from his core and was getting up.

'Gods, I can't believe that such a small wound could hurt that much.' He thought while releasing another bolt of thunder from his tail but this time with no flash. 'What kind of poison can affect an Awakened?'

He was aware of the mana poisoning but without knowing of the Ears' existence and how it worked, it was hard to believe that a thin strand of mana had reached his core.

The Zouwu assumed it had been carried by an alchemical vector that worked akin to Balkor's poison.

'I don't care if you believe me or not.' Lith replied while sharing via the mind link what he had learned about the throne while sitting on the sidelines. 'I have a plan, but I can't do it alone. Are you in?'

'With pleasure.' The Zouwu analyzed the various steps of the plan, making a few suggestions based on his real abilities and the experience from his clash with Maergron. 'Do you think you can keep up with him?'

'No. I wouldn't need you otherwise.' Lith unsheathed Ragnar?k and swelled his human form just enough to eclipse Strider who kept himself one step behind.

At Lith's signal, Bytra and Zoreth jumped back, leaving the Redcap flabbergasted.

The Ears perceived both the Zouwu and the Tiamat but there was something weird about their charge. The mana flow around them was blurred as if the next attack could come from every side.

Lith was in his human form and without his Magus robe and extra eyes, there was nothing peculiar about him. There were no images available to the public of his weapon and a black-haired Awakened with black armor was as rare as a three-leaf clover. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
