Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3560

At the same time, outside the mana crystal walls surrounding the Ernas Household.

Seven people covered from head to toe in mottled brown and green clothes were huddled behind the cover of a patch of trees. Their clothes were as light as silk but they were actually a suit of armor made of an alloy of Adamant and Darwen.

Their most basic enchantment constantly changed the color pattern of the armor based on its surroundings, making the members of the seven-man unit nigh invisible even when they stood in the open.

What looked like ski masks covered their faces and non-reflective glass lenses covered their eyes, adjusting their color based on the armor so that no part of the body would stand out to a casual observer even when exposed to direct sunlight.

The Darwen of the suits not only suppressed the magical auras of the Awakened and their equipment to near zero, but it also made it hard for magical formations to detect their physical presence.

The Darwen-Adamant alloy would bend the mana flow of an array just enough to cloak its wearer as a random fluctuation in the world energy. That, however, worked only on a single magical formation.

When several of them overlapped, the mana flow became much more complex and a sudden fluctuation in all the arrays at the same time would be identified as an intruder.

The Gernoffs had solved this problem by training their members to advance while dodging as many arrays as they could, moving along the mana flows of those that went in the right direction, and going against only a few magical formations at a time.

That kind of technique was complex to master and could only be performed by someone who could observe the patterns of the different mana flows with Life Vision and time his steps accordingly.

An almost impossible feat for most people on Mogar and basic training for the Gernoffs. Those who failed to complete basic training were considered lesser members of the family and used only as grunts for menial tasks.

’The time has come and we haven’t long to complete our mission.’ Okham Gernoff, the team leader, said via a mind link for brevity’s sake. ’Remember, we are not here to kill the traitor Jirni Myrok, only to start the battle.

’The first weeks are vital in the development of a baby and the life of a Myrok isn’t worth the risk of ruining the potential of someone who might grow into another Phloria Ernas if not even a Valeron.’

The Gernoff bloodline’s greatest wish was to give birth to someone who had inherited Oghrom’s mind but carried Valeron’s heart. Someone who wouldn’t shy from doing what was needed without ever straying from what was right.

The problem was that most Gernoffs born with a good heart were so repulsed by the family business that either failed basic training on purpose or ended up mentally scarred for life.

The current patriarch of each generation was the closest thing to a good-hearted Oghrom the Gernoffs could produce, which usually meant an emotionally stunted killer constantly tormented by his conscience. Experience exclusive tales on freewebnovel

The Gernoff didn’t look for redemption because they believed they did nothing wrong. They only wanted guidance from someone who could match the genius of their forefather without the sadistic impulses that had led Oghrom to forbid Awakening someone like him.

’Our mission today is split into two steps.’ Okham continued. ’One, recon. We can’t trust the official blueprints and the people we bribed to have a description of the inside of the Ernas Mansion duped us.
