3187 Terrified Child (Part 1)

'If I learn enough about this Lith Verhen and understand how his possession spell works, I can turn his powers against him. I might be the one swallowing him and gaining his memories.

'At that point, if I get rid of the hunger and my hands on his secret for immortality, I might end up enjoying this place. Speaking of hunger…' The mana geyser below Zeska constantly provided the Void with energy, quelling his appetite and soothing his nerves.

'Maybe I should stay here for the night. I don't want to hurt my little buddy anymore.' Ragnar?k emitted a purring sound of gratitude.

Chaos was already accumulating inside the bloody scabbard but with the mana geyser fueling the angry blade's power core and nurturing the Abomination side, keeping the Lith's spark of Chaos under control was child's play.

Ragnar?k split the Cursed Element into smaller bits and weaved it into spells, just to be safe. The black blade could feel the hostility in the people surrounding its master and it didn't like that one bit.

'Protect.' Ragnar?k thought. 'Not fail. Not again. Protect.'

Back at the Verhen Mansion, the entire extended family was in a frenzy.

Kamila had forbidden anyone to act on their own and had the rescue team assemble in front of the private Warp Gate of the Mansion.

"Are you sure you don't want us to go to Zeska right now?" Quylla asked.

"Are you kidding me? If Lith is amnesiac and attacks you, how many chances do you think you have to survive? Let alone taking him alive?" Kamila replied.

"Slim to none." Friya sighed. "But there's a lot of us and one of him."

She pointed at herself, her sister, Nalrond, Morok, Tista, and Valtak.

"And what if you fail? What if he runs away?" Kamila dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. "I don't want this to drag on for one day longer. I want you to succeed on the first try.

"I want my husband back. I want my children to get their father back. So, sit down, shut your mouth, and wait. I've already contacted Zoreth and Yaga. Once they get here, you'll leave. Not a second sooner."

Kamila was grinding her teeth in frustration, feeling helpless. She was in charge of the logistics but she would stay home. She was too weak to be anything but a liability to the rescue team and she knew it.

'Even if Lith somehow recognizes me and refuses to attack me, I would still be in the crossfire. If spells fly around or buildings collapse, our friends would waste their focus and energy protecting me instead of capturing Lith.

'This is the best I can do.' She thought.

"Speaking of children, why don't we just bring Elysia with us?" Morok proposed. "If Lith recognizes her, we win without a fight. If he doesn't and attacks her, the Guardians will knock him out. Easy peasy."

"I dare you do that." Tyris was the one in charge of the baby for the day. "Elysia is not a toy and I'm no one's pawn. My oath is to protect Elysia and that's what I'll do. If danger approaches her, I eliminate it.

"If you put her in danger, I eliminate you. Elysia is neither a shield nor a sword to be wielded for personal gain. Am I clear?" Her silver eyes blazed with mana, making the Tyrant feel small and insignificant.
