Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3600

Chapter 3600 Flowing Strength (Part 1)

"That was no accident and there's no way a kid that young took the initiative." The Blood Warlock said. "I bet you ordered him to do it."

"I agree. That's most likely the case." Lith stepped out of the dark tunnel while emerald flames engulfed Ragnarök and violet ones burst out of his mouth. "Hand me over the prisoner, and nobody gets hurt."

"Verhen?" The two Awakened turned their heads to look at the newcomer, forming a new barrier to keep Lith away at the expense of the one trapping Salman. "How did you get here?"

"I followed the Rezar on my own." Lith replied. "If the World Tree can't hide from me, what chances do you think a hybrid has?"

"I meant how did you bypass my security measures?" Axiran snarled.

"I have no reason to share my secrets with you." Lith cocked his head. "As I see it, we either call the Council to settle this dispute or do it on our own with a Spirit Duel."

"No way!" Axiran and Iraka finally agreed on something.

"Fighting one-on-one against you during the day would be suicide for me!" The Blood Warlock said.

"And what use would my Spirit Spells be if I had to fight a Divine Beast without my equipment and in such a confined space at that?" She said. "Your mere touch would be enough to kill me."

"Yours are valid objections, but they are not my problem." Lith smirked. "Feel free to come at me at the same time if you want. Yet, I wonder. Can you trust each other? Can you afford to focus on me and let our little Rezar friend break that thin Spirit Barrier of yours?

"What if he escapes during our fight?"

Salman gasped at the revelation and hammered at the wall with his massive clawed fists coated in a hammer-shaped hard-light construct.

"Why did you tell him that? Are you insane?" Axiran cursed as he had to reinforce the barrier with so much mana that it became visible to the naked eye.

"I'm just evening the field." Lith said with his most obnoxious tone. "You, Axiran, have the home advantage while Iraka has the numbers. Yet none of that matters if you don't give you the time and opportunity to deal with me.

"I've found him once, and I can find him again. Can you two do the same?" The answer to Lith's questions was no, and the Awakened knew it.

They stared at him in hatred, but they hated each other even more and were too afraid the other would backstab them to make any move.

As for Lith, he had no intention of fighting. He was buying Solus the time she needed to take control over the mana geyser.

At that point, the arrays would become irrelevant, and the two regional lords would have no chance against him, even if they had joined their forces.

A few precious moments later, Salman produced a crack in the Spirit Barrier, pushing Axiran and Iraka to the verge of despair. They disliked each other, and there was little to no trust between them.

Yet the idea of Lith getting his hands on the Rezar, of the upstart youth gaining another priceless treasure while ancient beings like them were left empty-handed brought them closer.

"Do you realize that if we call the Council, we all have the same chances of being awarded the Rezar?" Axiran tried one last attempt at mediation. "If we are unlucky, the Council representatives might even take days to make their decision and interrogate him as much as they want!

"That and the fact that this place isn't even part of your underground complex, Axiran, gives you less rights over the Rezar than Iraka's apprentices, who at least helped her from the start." _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
