Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3152

Chapter 3152 Missing Pieces (Part 2)

Every time the Void remembered one of Lith's abilities, he became stronger but he also felt something stirring inside of him.

The flow of knowledge from the human side to the Void created a safe connection between them that the Voidfeather Dragon exploited to draw more energy from the Abomination and heal the human side.

The completion bar marked how close Lith was to making a full recovery.

"Tell me why I'm so fucking hungry!" Derek screamed as his rationality slipped away.

As the sun went down on the horizon, the light and warmth that had fed the Abomination side until that moment disappeared. Without them, the spark of Chaos became stronger.

"I need food. Any food." Driven by instinct and desperation, Derek's Awakened senses allowed him to perceive all the life forms in his surroundings.

By the end of the night, Mount Marala had become barren for kilometers and very few animals managed to escape the fury of the Abomination.

Zeneka Region, Outskirts of Vidun's hiding spot, a few hours earlier.

Reaching the village of Xant had been relatively easy, but at that point, things had gotten complicated. Even with Zoreth's help, locating the site of the ambush had taken a while.

By the time Ryka, Kamila, and the rest of Lith's friends reached the wreckage of the hunting cabin, the Void was long gone.

"I don't get it. They assumed a battle formation right before fighting against each other." The Shadow Dragon took sharp sniffs circling around the remains of the hut while the others kept themselves at a distance to not mess with her perceptions.

"Why did Lith kill Strider?" Ryka sobbed between Kamila's arms, finding no reasonable explanation for the murder.

The equipment of the Zouwu lay on the ground where the Abomination had left it, the corpse reduced to a pile of ashes.

"He didn't." Zoreth replied. "There are traces of Lith's blood on Strider's blades yet your friend was killed in one blow. Based on the pattern of their movements, Strider attacked first. Most likely a betrayal."

"How can you say that?" Ryka said in outrage. "You didn't know him! He was loyal and honest to a fault. You are just trying to defend Verhen because you've never liked Strider!"

"I didn't like the guy, but this doesn't change the evidence." Zoreth closed her eyes in an attempt to hide her annoyance.

"What evidence? Verhen and Strider must have argued about the grimoire, Verhen killed Strider and escaped to not answer for his crimes. It's the only plausible explanation." The Titania replied.

"Stop thinking like a little girl at her first crush and use your gods-damn brain!" The Shadow Dragon snarled. "First, tell me in what world your dear friend could wound Lith as much as the blood spats suggest.

"The mass gap, the size of their weapons, not to mention that Solus would have never just stood there and watched. You've seen them fight. What chances of victory do you think Strider had against them?"
