Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3585

Chapter 3585 Broken Hopes (Part 2)

"Now we know we were wrong. Balors and Tyrants are evolved humans who have kept their success a secret. I would be angry at the Tyrants for their deception if not for the fact their evolution grants them just a slightly better body and a longer lifespan.

"Balors, instead, can bme Fomors and possess amazing bloodline abilities. They, not the Tyrants, are the key to our future!" Then, Raagu noticed Morok's glare and added. "No offense, Awakened Eari."

"I don't believe you." He shrugged and walked away, leaving everyone flabbergasted.

"What about your bloodline's Harmonizer project, Faluel?" Lotho the Treant, the plant representative, asked. "Did the Hydras make any progress toward Dragonhood? Was sparing the life of a traitor like Ufyl worth it?"

The entire room became so quiet that oneuld hear a pin drop.

The Awakened Council had lost many members during the War of the Griffons. All of those present had mourned at least one lifelong friend and hated the Mad Queen with all their hearts even a year after her death.

"We have yet to find a clear path to awaken our dormant bloodline, but the answer is yes." Faluel looked the Treant in the eyes. "It was worth sparing Ufyl's life. He's for us what Fomors are for Raagu.

"A glimmer of hope after millennia of helpless resignation. The members of my clan are making progress as we speak but if those findings will lead us anywhere is sadly another story entirely."

"If it's anything like the Balor problem, it will take you time and patience." Raagu stepped between Faluel and Lotho, trying to quell their argument. "I'm afraid adult Balors can't be saved and the same applies to their fellow fallen plant and beast folk.

"Their children, however, might still have their life forces restored." She lowered her eyes, staring at the ground as if ituld give her the answers she needed.

"Why the sad face?" Morok asked, making everyone turn toward him. "Isn't that what you want?"

"It is, but it saddens me that humans and Hydras are rushing toward their extinction." Raagu replied without raising her head. "If we fail, we'll be stuck again and nothing will change. If we succeed, our children will be born respectively as Fomors and Dragons but us oldots will bme obsolete.

"We'll have no way to evolve ourselves and be doomed to wait for our death. Either way, we won't enjoy the fruits of our labor."

Raagu's words reminded Faluel of Baba Yaga's warning, making her clench her glass so hard that it cracked. She stopped just in time for the self-repair enchantment to activate before she spilled too much of her drink.

Thenversation moved to Jiera and thelonization remained the main topic until the end of the banquet. Nalrond was the guest of honor, so he had to endure until everyone was gone before rushing back to the Verhen Mansion.

Jirni still lived there and so did the rest of the Ernas family.

"Let me guess, you suspect the rumors about the Rezar are more than just rumors. Am I right?" Friya asked when they were in the privacy of their room and surrounded by Scrambler arrays.
