Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3201

Chapter 3201 For the Jugular (Part 1)

Even after decades, Derek still hated Ezio like the first day.

"I have no father! I raised myself without any help from a pathetic excuse of a-" The second pang brought to his mind a scene in front of a fireplace where a young boy wrote with his stubby finger on a tray full of ashes.

From there his mind went to the Hogum Mansion, where Raaz's mutilated body lay down on a table akin to Carl in the morgue. Derek remembered the fear of losing that unknown man and the following struggle to save his life.

"Raaz!" Derek grunted, shaking his head to clear his mind.

"I'm Rena. Your big sister." Rena stepped forward. "I took care of you until you were four and then you took care of me. You've done so much for me that I've named my firstborn, Leria, after you.

"You've saved the life of my baby, Falco. Do you remember them?" She pulled out a Rememberer and projected the images of her children laughing with their uncle.

"I'm Tista, your other big sister!" She cried, punching the golden sphere to get in. "I wouldn't even be here without you. You cured me from the Strangler!"

A third pang brought back memories of the time spent with Rena, then with the children at the Hot Pot, and with Tista while alleviating her symptoms.

Derek sprawled on the floor, incapable of resisting the flood of images coursing through his brain and the pain they caused him.

"Let him breathe. Take a step back and give him a second." Quylla said, but no one listened to her, and she had to pull everyone by force with Bloodbind.

As soon as the Void stopped panting but before he could recover from the shock, Quylla and Friya approached him. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

"Hi, Lith. Do you remember us?" Friya asked.

"How could I not? You are the bastards who put me in here!" He snarled, clawing at the construct while breathing a burst of blue flames.

"Damn, they got him really pissed." Baba Yaga grumbled as she increased the mana output to keep the prison from being breached.

"Correct, but we also have been your friends since the academy. Do you remember that?" Quylla swallowed hard. Back then it was always you..."

She had a hologram of a young Lith appear by her side.

"Me, Friya..." Two holograms of their younger selves overlapped with the two

women.

"Yurial, and... Phloria." The holograms of their late friends completed the group. "No, I don't." Derek recognized the young Friya from his training session during the tutorial but he was sure to have never met the others.

"What about now?" Quylla clenched her teeth, bringing the figures of the holograms up to date.

Quylla's and Friya's holograms just disappeared while Lith's turned into an adult. Phloria grew up too whereas Yurial remained the same. Now, however, he and Phloria stood over their respective graves.
