Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3259

?Chapter 3259 Chained Souls (Part 2)

Controlling an already stable spell was one thing, conjuring and aiming a new spell with pinpoint accuracy was another. In the Yggdrasill's condition, it would have been akin to trying to write a symphony while someone shouted in your ears and another hammered your toes.

Meanwhile, the Demon of the Darkness kept killing whoever dared enter the cell and fed the elves to the stone ring. With each victim she claimed she would reforge her equipment, crafting a Fury and an Anvil closer to the originals.

Solus was in shock and disbelief but she had the presence of spirit to hasten the tower's repairs.

'I need to be fast. Maybe it's not too late to retrieve the shard of my soul. If I can restore my connection with it and use the chain to establish a mind link with Lith, he can come to my rescue!"

The first two Chroniclers had been enough to accumulate the life force and mana necessary to restore Solus' body. The rest she stored in the Bleed to help her in her escape attempt.

As her wounds healed, Solus' connection with the Demon grew closer and closer until their minds almost formed a mind link. All the elves in the cell were now dead with the only exception of the Librarian.

For some reason, the Demon had bound and gagged her with a tier five Spirit Spell that Solus recognized as Griffon Fetters but the Librarian was otherwise unharmed.

The petite walked to the stone ring, looking at it with a mix of grief and longing. When the last crack disappeared, a smile like sunrise opened on the black slate of her face.

She bent down, picking the ruined form of the tower up with utmost care and caressing its edges with infinite love.

"Epphy," The Demon's voice was the steely grind of a forge at work. "I have returned."

Griffon Kingdom, Royal Palace of the city of Valeron, at the same time.

Kamila Verhen reached the antechamber of the Throne Room where two Royal Guards waited for her. She had come straight from the Blood Desert but not before making a call.

"Here you are, Kami," Zinya waved her hand from a distance while the security confirmed the guest's identity and that she posed no threat.

"Thanks for coming so fast, Zin." Kamila held her sister's hands with gratitude.

Court etiquette forbade public displays of affection like hugs and giving each other a curtsy wouldn't have allowed them to communicate covertly with a mind link.

'Are Kigan and Nelia with you?' Kamila asked.

'Just Kigan.' Zinya replied. I'm sorry, but I had to leave Nelia with Filia and Frey. I understand your circumstances, but with Zogar gone and most of the Eldritches absent, I don't trust anyone else with my children.'

'No need to apologize.' Kamila inwardly sighed. 'Zogar has even more enemies than Lith and unlike Elysia, your children are not under the protection of the Guardians. Kigan will have to do.'

"Thanks for the vote of confidence.' The Dark Phoenix scoffed. Just remember, no array or means of detection except for Soul Vision can spot me, but only until I'm forced to take action.

'If for any reason my presence is exposed, I'll be attacked by your enemies during the crisis and by your allies once it's resolved. To avoid people questioning your involvement with me, pretend you didn't know about my presence and act scared.

'Don't worry, I asked Zinya to come for moral support and because it's better safe than sorry."Kamila replied. "The palace of Valeron is one of the safest places in the Kingdom. With the arrays, the Royals, and the Royal Guards, not even a natural disaster worries me.'

The entire conversation took place while the Royal Guards led the two women to the Throne Room. Holding hands was a bit unusual but understandable when someone was summoned to the Royal Court in the middle of the night.

"Lady Verhen." Meron grunted more than speak. "I'm waiting for an explanation for the actions of your husband and it's better to be a good one." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
