Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3320

Chapter 3320 Harsh Truth (Part 1)

'Damn, how can the power gap between my Eldritch-monster hybrids and the Guardians still be so large? With our current strength, going against the three Guardians of Garlen would end up in a one-sided slaughter.' The Master thought.

"I told you it was incredible." Zinya chuckled, believing him to be more awed than shocked. "Kami's pregnancy has to remain a secret so not a word with anyone, especially the children.

"This is not like one of their usual stories about their amazing dad and magical friends. The news of Lith's son wouldn't be taken as a child exaggeration but at face value. If even a rumor starts spreading, Lith's enemies will keep hiding like rats until the baby is born."

"Especially Meln." Vastor gritted his teeth at the name, the Future card still burning in his pocket. "But Zin, this should be good news. Your sister is safe, Lith got rid of two enemies in one day, and you are going to have a nephew.

"Please, don't be sad. How many times do I have to tell you it's not your fault if we can't have more children? It's all because of my experiments, but I'm working on a solution."

"Is it that obvious?" Zinya timidly met his gaze.

"Do you want the truth or a convenient lie?"

"The convenient lie, please."

"Your poker face is amazing, Zin. There was no concrete tell-tale sign, I was just bluffing." He replied, making her laugh.

"Do you think things would change if I were an Awakened?" She asked.

"What?" Vastor was so taken aback that he let go of Zinya's hand.

"I mean, Kami got pregnant in one night and Jirni had no problem conceiving despite her age. Isn't that because they are Awakened?"

"It's not that simple, Zin." Vastor took a deep breath to calm down. "Awakening doesn't solve all problems. It creates new ones. You would need to train your body and core, adding more tasks to your already busy schedule.

"The power and magic would constantly tempt you but training them would take a lot of time. To make matters worse, you would have to hide your new abilities. No one at your age can suddenly become a mage.

"You would see the kids grow old and die unless we Awaken them too. Do you see where this is going?"

"Yes." She nodded. "But you didn't answer my question, Zogar. Would Awakening help?"

"Maybe and maybe not." He shrugged. "But the real question is: are you sure you want to do it? All it takes me is one breath to Awaken you but once the door is open, you can't close it.

"The power and magic would constantly tempt you but training them would take a lot of time. To make matters worse, you would have to hide your new abilities. No one at your age can suddenly become a mage.

"Also, once you Awaken, what excuse will you tell the kids to keep them away from Tezka's lessons? Unless you give them a very good reason to keep such a gift to yourself, they are going to resent you."

"You thought this through, Zogar, even more than I did. Thank you." She kissed him, glad that her husband kept protecting her, even from herself. "Is there anything else I should know?"

"Yes." Vastor took a brief pause to find the right words, but there were none, only the harsh truth.

He held her hands firmly, looking her in the eyes before saying:

"There is the possibility that once you Awaken, your body's vitality might be able to counter my Abomination side. Yet unless the two forces find a balance, the baby would consume itself and you'd have a miscarriage that no spell on Mogar can prevent."
