Supreme Magus novel Chapter 505

Lith had already been to the village of Trauros to share his communication rune with its elder. Crossing the couple hundred of kilometers which separated it from Maekosh with Warp Steps only took him a handful of seconds.

Lith appeared inside an isolated alley while people all around the village were screaming and begging for help. Their prayers didn’t stop the wargs’ fangs nor their claws.

A dozen wargs were pillaging the food supplies while several others were feasting on those who had attempted to stop them and the passers-by who had not fled from the scene fast enough.

The starving monsters’ aim had only been the stored meat, but the first drops of human blood spilled during the initial assault had sent them into a feeding frenzy.

Wargs were predators, whereas the squishy humans were just food after all. Much to Solus’s dismay, aside from cloaking his presence with darkness magic, Lith did nothing.

He held the magical tracker and watched the green gemstones at its corners lighting up one after the other. The device needed time to lock onto the signal emitted by the Abomination fragments inside the wargs’ bodies.

’You can fight while I take care of the tracker!’ Being helpless in front of the massacre was killing her soul. With each passing second, someone was dying.

’Then what? The wargs would split up again and fly away. If the warriors left to fight me commit suicide before the link is established, we’ll go back to square one and the next time even the army might not be able to stop them.

’I’m not a fan of collateral damage either, but if we don’t find the whole pack, it will be all for nothing.’ Lith replied while impatiently looking at the tracker and weaving all the spells he could need.

Only when all the gemstones lit up and the holographic display not only pointed the nearby wargs, but also the location of the rest of the pack did Lith came out of the alley.

The monsters that had yet to take off died before they could even realize what was happening. Lith’s surprise attack struck them while they were still recovering from their berserk rage.

In the blink of an eye, six wargs were dead. Lith stored their bodies away and healed all the injured villagers before leaving. He couldn’t stand Solus’s suffering and he needed some time to recover his strength with Invigoration anyway.

Warping there so fast would have left a fake mage with little mana left. Helping Trauros would look good on his resume and lull the wargs into a false sense of security. Lith wanted them to have all the time they needed to regroup and maybe even change the location of their den.

He had already killed a total of 18 wargs out of the 50 he had counted during his first day in Maekosh. Even if a few more had been born during the last two days, they would still be cubs.

His plan was to wait for them to settle down and strike at them while their mind and bodies were lethargic from the feast that they would soon have. Just as he predicted, his first ambush had made them cautious.

The pack moved as soon as the last warg carrying the supplies arrived, flying for hundreds of kilometers before stopping. Only then did Lith left Trauros. He was back to his peak condition and was certain that by the time he arrived, every warg would be too busy stuffing their muzzles to notice his presence.

Once again, they had chosen the base of a small hill to build their den with earth magic. Lith checked his surroundings with Life Vision and the terrain with the array detection spell before landing.
