3162 Monster Hunt (Part 2)

'This should keep the World Fucker busy.' Solus thought. 'I don't know why no one tried to imprint me yet, but I'm even more surprised the Yggdrasill hasn't sent someone after Lith either.

'If they did and more Chroniclers died, I would have noticed the tremors. If something happened to Lith, I bet everything I don't have that the Tree would throw it in my face.'

As if in answer to her thoughts, a small energy dome nailed the stone ring to the wooden floor while the door of her cell opened. The bark of the World Tree shifted into a rectangular opening, letting inside the first light in two days and a female elf. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

'I see.' Solus studied the newcomer's deep violet core and lithe figure. 'The Yggdrasil must have chosen her as my "host" if they revealed the secret of the violet core to her.

'The Tree must have waited until she got accustomed to her new powers before making another attempt at imprinting me.'

Dawn had taught Solus that it was an ancient tradition of living legacies to always bond with someone of their same gender. This way, there was no risk of falling in love with their host as had happened to Dawn herself.

'The only question is: why a regular elf instead of a Chronicler?' The woman wielded a wand made of Yggdrasill wood but there was no trace of the World Tree's energy signature inside her body. 'The wand can help her with her focus, but no more than my Sage Staff.'

"It is done, Elphyn Menadion." The female elf's voice was cold yet melodious. "Lith Verhen is dead. I, Nes'hiah Lamarr, will be your next host."

"Tell me another." Solus laughed at her. "If that's true, show me his corpse or at least his head."

"The wounds the Zouwu inflicted upon him were so dire that Verhen turned into an Abomination. There's no corpse left." The elf's left eye squinted lightly in annoyance.

"Really?" Solus gasped, her voice oozing mockery and sarcasm. "How awfully convenient for you. Do you really think I'm that stupid? At this point, why not tell me that you are Lith reincarnated in a woman's body? It's just as believable as your story."

"Read it for yourself, if you don't believe me." Nes'hiah threw a communication amulet open on the page of the Royal broadcast.

Solus didn't miss how details like the date and the circumstances of the meeting with Agra had been redacted.

"Nice try. Here says he has gone Abomination but not when it happened. For all I know, this message has just been released and you've spun your bullshit around it."

"It proves that I told you the truth, human!" The Librarian snarled. "Don't expect to receive other news of Verhen's death because we've killed him in secret. We couldn't afford to leave witnesses that might lead back to us."

"I don't believe a word you say." Solus retorted. "Our bond may be broken, but if anything happened to Lith, I'd know it. He's still alive and I won't trust anything but my gut until you give me irrefutable proof I'm wrong."

"Fine! I hoped that we might introduce ourselves in a more civilized manner but you are forcing my hand." Nes'hiah waved the wooden wand and the energy dome collapsed on the stone ring, trapping it in a vise.

"That's a sure way to gain my trust. Blaming your cruelty on the victim." Solus grunted, using just enough energy to resist the pressure and boost the tower's density.

"I don't need your trust." The elf replied. "I only need your compliance. Try anything funny and the next time it will be much worse."

She walked in front of the ring, making it levitate at her chest level without removing the barrier. Then, another flick of her wand removed the enchanted restraint and Nes'hiah moved to grab the ring.

Solus reacted by using Gravity Fusion to increase her already considerable mass and fall quickly, materializing only her right arm to punch at the elf in a cross counter.
