Chapter 3691: Redeeming Quality (Part 2)
Blinks could have failed, Warp Steps could have been turned against him with Collapse Space, while there was no counter to Dragonspeed aside from a greater speed.
At the same time, Lith pushed a scroll out of Soluspedia that appeared right beside Solus, alerting her. With Orpal still on the loose, they kept a strict protocol to call the other for help.
A protocol that couldn’t be stopped by dimensional-sealing arrays and that was supposed to ensure their safety.

“Farm me sideways!” At the Mansion, Solus tried to check on Lith with the mind link, but they were too far away. “Elina, take care of Elysia. Lith needs my help.”
Even though she didn’t know his exact position, he was supposed to be in the Trawn Woods. She Blinked to the tower and then Warped the structure to the Woods, releasing a full scan of the Watchtower floor.

‘Shit! He noticed us!’ An Awakened part of a seven-man unit alerted the rest of his comrades as those conjuring Silverwing’s Annihilation broke formation and gave chase to the Tiamat.
Weaving one of Silverwing’s spells required perfect coordination between seven bright violet-cored Awakened. Something complex while the seven Awakened were close to each other, and impossible while flying at high speed and spread out not to offer a big, clumsy target.
‘Copy that!’
Five more bright violet cores came out of their hiding spots and fanned out in front of Lith to cut off his escape routes.
‘Twelve people?’ Lith used air and fire fusion to perform a sharp curve in mid-air and released a tier three Light Mastery heat ray from his feet to propel himself forward like a rocket. ‘Two more and they could use two anti-Guardian spells at the same time.
‘Who are these people and how did I piss them off without even knowing about it?’
Lith was faster, but his opponents were many and well-prepared. The one closest to him Blinked forward, and Lith lunged with Ragnarök right into the exit point.
“You always go for the heart or the neck, Verhen. You’re deadly yet so predictable.” What looked like a big wreath of flowers said.
A big wreath covered in Adamant and wielding a different enchanted weapon in each of her whip-like vines. Ragnarök met only empty air while the ten blades came crashing down on Lith from every direction.
He blocked one with the angry blade, two more with his membranous wings, and another with his tail. The other six he had to block with a Spirit Barrier while wrapping Valeron with his feathered wings to keep him from harm’s way.
Just like his enemies wanted.
Each of the six blows carried the strength of a Griffon and slammed at the barrier with a boom of thunder. Lith was sent hurtling back and into a long-distance Warp Steps that the other four Awakened had kept at the ready.
‘Phase one is completed.’ The Titania said. ‘Verhen is stranded and alone. Commencing phase two.’
***
There was no trace of Lith and Valeron when Solus reached the Trawn Woods. The fourteen Awakened had already Warped after their quarry, taking care to relax the space and keep Faluel from finding them.
The Hydra was no dimensional mage, but her future Harbinger was. There was no point in taking unnecessary risks and getting in trouble with the Council.
