3167 Kill Team (Part 1)

Yet the life energy of the magical beast still flowed through the Void.

The walk allowed the Abomination to both preserve most of the life force and honor the sacrifice of the Ry. That along with the guilt was enough to keep Derek's mind keen as he scoured his surroundings for another prey.

With every sip of life force he consumed, his shame grew. The Void had killed the magical beast because possessed by the hunger, not because he wanted to. It was an unforgivable act of weakness, something that Derek wouldn't allow to happen a second time.

On top of that, he no longer considered the endless appetite of the Abomination like a biological need but as an enemy. And like against all of his enemies, Derek McCoy kept his guard up and fought it with everything he had.

As he walked through an empty clearing, he perceived everything around him with painful clarity. The worms digging through the soft soil below him, the feeble vitality of the grass blades, and even the thin world energy spread throughout the air.

The whole Mogar looked like a meal to him but it was one made of scraps. Every bite reminded him of the pleasure of feeding but there wasn't enough to slow down his growing hunger.

It frustrated him to the point that, under normal circumstances, he would have fallen into a frenzy like back on Mount Marala.

Not that night. The rage and the hunger only sharpened his senses as he used every iota of self-control he had to preserve what was left of the Ry's life force one second longer.

It was the reason the Void perceived the shift in the world energy as the Chroniclers approached him.

The servants of the World Tree had found Lith with Root Cause and followed him, biding their time for the moment when he would be more vulnerable. They still had no idea how their colleague had failed to kill him and the fact that Lith still carried his equipment worried the elves.

He was one of the few people on Mogar capable of using Blade Spells so the Chroniclers couldn't rush in. To make matters more confusing, Lith moved slowly while keeping high vigilance which contradicted the information about him suffering from amnesia.

The cloaking rings he wore blurred his figure under Soul Vision too much to be certain he really was in his Abomination form. In the darkness of the night and with most of his head covered by the helm, only his fangs were clearly visible.

The Chroniclers knew he wasn't in his human form, but that was it.

Even without Solus, Lith was famous for his ability to plan complex schemes while leading his enemies to underestimate him. Now that the Yggdrasill was one of them, the Tree second-guessed every one of their moves, afraid of ending up like those who had tried to kill Lith in the past.

The Chroniclers had followed him for hours to check he wasn't leading them into a trap of his own. They kept their distance, avoiding using spells that would have revealed their position to the Abomination's hunger and relying on Soul Vision.

'Something is wrong.' Derek thought, his paranoia shutting his mouth for the first time in a while. 'I can feel holes in the energy around me. I would think this is just another difference with Earth if these holes didn't move in formation and weren't surrounding me.' _{freёwebnovel.com}

The Darwen of the Chroniclers' armor made them invisible to mystical senses and spells. A darkness enchantment canceled their smell while an air enchantment silenced their steps.
