Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3473

"One last thing. As Phaso said, batches of his spores are scattered around. The blue flames might be able to track them. If you see the blue fire following a straight line, do not stop them." Lith looked at Menadion for a few seconds and the Ruler of the Flames returned the gaze.

"You have my blessing. Kill that jerk." She said after a while.

"That was never the question." He grunted. "I was waiting for you to get back inside my Void Sigil. The blue flames ignite from my life force and your body is made of it. If you stay out, from this distance you will burn along with me."

"A fitting destiny." She nodded. "I’m many things, child, but I’m not ungrateful. We both know you can use learning the effects of the blue flames on your Demons. I’ll stay by your side and share your burden."

"But M-enadion, what if the blue flames purge you? What if the pain is so intense that you are driven to move on?" Solus was so worried her tongue almost slipped.

"There’s no discovery without risk, child. I’m a Ruler of the Flames and I’ll bend the blue flames to my will." Ripha replied. "Besides, do you really think that after watching over my blood for seven hundred years a bit of pain is enough to get me off your back?"

Menadion gently caressed Solus’ face.

"Trust me, sweetie. I’ve never left a friend in their time of need and I’m not going to start today."

Solus clenched Menadion’s hand for a moment before stepping away and nodding to Lith.

"This is going to hurt." He closed his eyes, focusing on the darkest corner of his life force, where the sealed door to the Void was.

Lith forged a silvery key from the Dread Flames and used it to undo the seal. The door flung open but this time Lith was ready. He ignited the endless stream of vengeful souls, turning them into blue flames.

Not a stray soul went unchecked, the door kept ajar by Lith’s will and limiting the blue flames to what he hoped he could control. The blue flames burned his life force on their way out, flaring up his mana, flesh, and blood alike.

Lith grunted in pain as blue fire wreathed his body but he refused to become the Void Demon Dragon. Menadion, instead, was caught by surprise by the violence of the blue flames despite being forewarned.

The hologram giving her human appearance shattered, revealing a black horned figure twisting with hate. Her body was covered in pitch-black scales, her fanged mouth curled up in an expression of malice.

As she burned, Menadion grew stronger than she had ever been but her mind slowly plunged into madness. She hungered for blood and retribution. Lotho and Feela now looked to her as the past Council representatives who had tried to exploit her and entice Elphyn.

She wanted them dead so bad that it hurt.

Then, Menadion’s eyes fell on her daughter and the hate became unbearable.

’Stupid little bitch!’ The Demon hissed at Solus, incapable of holding her fury. ’Your father, the only man I’ve ever loved, gave his life for you. And what did you do with it? You squandered your youth in vices and a petty revenge against your mourning mother.

’You treated me like shit, dragged my reputation through the mud, and for what? To play the victim and pretend you were the only one suffering! If not for you, I would still be alive.

’I would have gained the white core and lived long enough to bring Forgemastery to new heights and Mogar to a golden age, but you took everything away from me. You wasted your life and then ended mine.
