Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3391

"It took me a while to realize I didn’t like the person I had become but when I did, I apologized to all the people I hurt and I’ve done my best to change. To be honest, it’s still a work in progress." Trion said.

"I hope you’ll learn from my mistakes and become a better person than I will ever be, lil bro."

"Thanks, big brother." Aran gave Trion a small bow. "For what is worth, I think you are doing fine. Without Lith telling this story, I would have never thought you were such a bad person."

"Aran!" Lith and Raaz said in unison while Onyx stifled her laugh by putting her paw on her snout.

"What? I was giving him a compliment! Trion was a jerk and now he’s less of a jerk. He’s making progress." Aran said, making everything worse.

"Thank you, little brother." Trion caressed Aran’s head, smiling. "I need you to keep an eye on me so that I don’t go back to my bad habits."

"You can count on me." Aran nodded.

They resumed walking, advancing in an embarrassed silence. Life Vision allowed Lith to spot game from a distance and it took him only one shot to make a bloodless kill.

He mostly used water magic to hit a vital spot and then freeze the area of the wound.

One boar, and two stags later, Aran was in awe of Lith’s skill while everyone else was utterly bored.

"No offense, son, but this is too easy. What do you say we try the old-fashioned way and you let us do something?" Raaz said.

"Please, be my guest." Lith dispelled Life Vision and moved to the back of the group.

Minutes turned into hours as they moved around, no one with the faintest clue about how to track wild animals.

"I stand corrected." Raaz said after failing to even spot an animal in the distance despite the Hush Zone still enveloping them. "This is even more boring. We need a tracker. Onyx?"

"With pleasure!"

"Just one thing. No magic. Let’s keep things fair." Raaz said.

"Who needs magic?" The Utgard scoffed. "I hunted way before I Awakened. Just follow me."

She left the Hush Zone and sniffed the air, quickly finding a trail.

"Quick question." Onyx put only her head back inside. "Aran, can you shoot bunnies or are they too cute for you? I don’t want you to have nightmares again."

"Onyx!" It was Aran’s turn to be embarrassed. "That was supposed to be a secret! I mean, I’m not afraid of anything."

"That’s not an answer." The Utgard replied. "Yes or no?"

"Yes!" Aran turned bright red up to his ears.

"No it is, then." Onyx nodded. "How do you feel about stags?"

"I have no problems with them." This time he managed to maintain a level voice.

"Then follow me." The Utgard moved like a shadow, her steps made no sound as she stepped over the lush grass and took a roundabout route to keep herself upwind not to alert her prey.

Despite her size and mass, Onyx avoided bushes and twigs without even looking at them whereas Raaz and Aran kept making noise as they moved no matter how hard they tried to be stealthy.

If not for the Hush Zone, the stag would have heard them coming from a mile away.
