Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3493

"I can protect your mana cores and regenerate your bodies for as long as I want. You will suffer but will not die. No matter how much you wish, beg, or prey for it."

"I’ll talk!" Garvi cried amid tiers. "We-"

His voice died along with his body, just to be rejuvenated a split second later.

"Not so fast." Leegaain pressed his thumb on the Behemoth’s lips to silence him. "Not so quick. You have touched my child. Before you are allowed to die, you must pay the price for your actions."

"You and everyone like you." Salaark enveloped Elina and Shargein in a barrier that protected them from her spreading flames. "Everyone who helped you, everyone you love, everyone who even heard about your plan is going to die with you."

"Salaark, Leegaain, stop!" Tyris could slow down the advance of the tidal wave of white fire but couldn’t stop it. "You are going to destroy the Griffon Kingdom."

"Don’t worry. We’ll split our turfs equally with you to compensate you for the damage." Blinded by revenge, Leegaain cared for nothing else but ensuring his child was safe.

"That’s not the problem. Think of-" Tyris looked in the eyes of her friends and saw no mercy to which she could appeal hence she had to arouse it. "Think of Shargein. Do you want to ruin his happy memories of this day by destroying the places he visited?"

The violence of the white flames abated as the fury of the other two Guardians hesitated after confirming that Shargein had enjoyed his travels with Elina.

"Think of Elina. The Griffon Kingdom is her birthplace and all her friends live here. Think of Lith. In your fury, you are going to raze to the ground everything he has built after years of hardships. Think of me, dammit!

"I’m your friend and the Kingdom is all I have left of the only man I’ve ever loved!"

The pain in Tyris’ voice resonated with that in Leegaain’s and Salaark’s hearts, bringing them to a halt.

"Order and chaos, what have we done?" The Father of All Dragons looked at the moonscape around him.

Only bare earth and rocks surrounded the crater where until a few seconds ago there had been a lush clearing.

"Mogar almighty, are you alright, Elina?" Salaark ran to the poor woman’s side, cleaning the mess Elina had made of herself.

"I’m fine." Elina whimpered, hiding behind Shargein and recoiling from the Guardian’s touch as if afraid Salaark would beat her.

Elina’s face was drained of color, leaving her of a deathly pallor. Elina couldn’t stop shaking, her knees so weak that she failed to stand up.

"No, you are not." Tyris approached Elina and wrapped her in a motherly embrace. "It’s alright, dear. You are safe now. No one will hurt you."

Elina burst into tears as the Guardian kneeled to her side and comforted her with words and caressed her back. Elina clung to Tyris with all her strength while Shargein looked at his parents in confusion.

"We fine, Auntie. Shargein- I’m strong." The Wyrmling licked her, more shocked by Elina’s tears than from the attempt on his life.

"Yes, Shargein. Thank you, Shargein." She sobbed, dragging him into the group hug.

’Shit, we went way overboard.’ Leegaain said via the mind link.

’That’s a nice euphemism.’ Salaark sighed. ’Elina is used to see us as friends. She knows we are powerful but she never understood how much.’

’Until today.’ Leegaain watched the scene, feeling guilty because it was his fault and because there was no way he could make things right. ’Even when Elina saw us in our real form, she always thought fondly of us, like huge cuddly pets.

’Now she sees us as monsters.’

She bent down to pick one up and fainted. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
