Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3564

’It did seem a bit too much sending Tezka.’ Jirni pondered. ’But why did he use the Suneater spell? Isn’t it his signature move? He basically declared war on the Gernoffs on my behalf and we haven’t met even once.’

’Don’t flatter yourself.’ Vastor replied. ’He didn’t do it for you. He did it for us.’

The Master marked telepathically himself, Zinya, Filia, and Frey.

’Still, he’s going overboard for something like this.’ Jirni replied. ’Your family is not the Gernoffs’ target. I am.’

’I know. I didn’t expect Tezka to go that far.’ Vastor said with a sigh. ’I need you to understand that I have no control over his actions. He’s the only Eldritch I can’t give orders to. I can only ask him to do things for me.’

’Interesting.’ Jirni pondered. ’Any idea why he had such a strong reaction?’

’Because he considers us part of his pack.’ Vastor replied. ’And I don’t mean that he treats us like Fylgjas, but that he sees us as such. I don’t know if he’s grown fond of my family over time or because of some past trauma.’

He glossed over the piece of Tezka that comprised Vastor’s Abomination side and established a deep bond between him and the Eldritches he had used as a base for his research.

’All I know is that Tezka now perceives us as his cubs and is protective of us beyond what you and I would consider reasonable.’

’Why are you telling me all this?’ Jirni asked as her check-up neared its end.

’As a warning.’ Vastor replied. ’Whatever you do, no matter how desperate you are, leave my family out of your schemes. There’s a reason I never had to move a finger against those who tried to harm Filia and Frey.

’By the time I learned about any scheme against Zin and the kids thwarted by Tezka, those involved were all dead. Their families, the organizations they were part of, anyone who might connect the dots and seek revenge passed away in "accidents".

’Don’t destroy everything you are trying to protect by biting the hand of someone who can swallow the sun.’

It took Bashel Gernoff hours of flight, Warping in random directions, going through underground tunnels, and using unauthorized Warp Gates, but he managed to reach the secret location of the main Gernoff Household without anyone following him.

Having no idea what means Tezka might employ, Bashel had destroyed his equipment to ensure no tracker was left on him and checked his body with Invigoration.

After that, he contacted the Gernoff’s network of agents and requested a safe way home. There was no need to inform them of Tezka’s threat because everyone in the Kingdom had seen the eclipse.

Bashel had been searched and examined with Invigoration at each stop of his journey. His guides brought him too deep inside Mogar’s bowels and too high in the sky for anyone to follow them without being noticed.

Yet despite all that and the reassurance of his elders, Bashel didn’t feel safe and he said so first thing when he started his report.

"The mission was a complete failure." Jiza Gernoff’s eyes narrowed as she considered the implications of the Suneater’s message. "We have lost six of our best Awakened, failed to intimidate Jirni Myrok, and learned nothing about the Ernas Mansion’s real structure. _{freёwebnovel.com}
