Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3468

"If the need arises, your help will be invaluable and the Council will properly compensate you for your time." Feela’s words were welcomed with cheers.

Getting paid just for standing around and doing nothing was a dream come true even for Awakened.

"Thank you, brother." Lith walked up to Tezka to thank him. "Your presence wasn’t needed but knowing you were here boosted my confidence."

"Don’t mention it." The Fylgja sniffed the air, recognizing a familiar scent. "Is it what I think it is?"

"Correct." Lith nodded. "The first of many, it seems."

"Good luck with your endeavor and let me know if you are interested in selling the thing once you put it together." Tezka laughed.

"Thanks, and we’ll see." Lith replied. "Can I count on you if things go south?"

"Yeah, but always remember it will take me time to arrive. Unless you send me your location in advance, of course."

"I’ll keep that in mind." Lith ignored the offer.

’Like I’d risk giving Vastor access to the World Tree’s repository of knowledge. Heck, even I don’t know what I’ll do once I get my hands on it.’ He thought.

Only once the siege was broken and the beasts on their way to their respective homes did Lith open his hand and let the shard of light point the way.

"Thanks for your trust, little brother." Zoreth didn’t miss how he had not sent her away after learning how high the stakes were.

"Please, if there’s someone I can trust, it’s the godmother of my daughter." Lith said as the group flew at high speed. Find adventures at empire

When the compass pointed them in a clear direction, they Warped forward dozens of kilometers and then kept flying until it stabilized again.

"You heard me." Lith noticed how the closer they got to the next fragment, the more condensed and brighter the shard in his hand became. "Xenagrosh is the closest thing to a Tiamat I know and the fact she’s damn powerful and family it’s a huge plus in my book."

"Eyes on the prize." It was Lotho’s turn to open a Warp Steps leading the group as far as he could. "The shard is spinning."

They stopped flying and waited for the fragment to stop.

"Below?" Lith said in confusion.

There was nothing around them that even the Eyes of Menadion could perceive. On top of that, the shard moved erratically as if it couldn’t pinpoint its target.

"This is weird." Solus said. "The signal got clearer as we approached and now that we are in proximity of our target the fragment can’t pinpoint it anymore?"

They landed on the ground but the fragment kept pointing down.

"This has just gone from weird to nonsensical." Lotho said. "No World Sapling lives underground. They are too big and require sunlight to grow."

"Nonsensical or not, we know what to do." Lith released a pulse of earth magic that dug a pit reaching dozens of meters of depth.

The group had descended for about half a kilometer when the ground rose to meet them.
