Supreme Magus novel Chapter 506

Lith dashed forward. The chaos and mayhem of the cave made caution irrelevant.

’I must stop the hybrids from getting stronger!’ He thought as he unleashed a series of tier four spells that struck the black wargs where their vitals were supposed to be with surgical precision.

Lith had added the bestiary to Soluspedia, so that he would always know the most efficient way to kill the monsters it contained. Three hybrids died on the spot, but four somehow survived even with their heads removed or their hearts replaced by a gaping hole.

At least until a fifth hybrid extended its tendrils to suck them dry.

"Thanks, brother. Much appreciated." The creature said before exploding into maniacal laughter filled with ecstasy. Lith could distinguish two voices talking in unison.

One of them was feral and rough, yet it was barely audible, like it was fading away. The other was ancient and erudite, its phrasing a bit out of date. It held a feeling of malice and power that gave Lith the creeps.

One of the female wargs ran in front of Lith, her teeth bared, her eyes pitch black with the same darkness which was coursing through the hybrids. She tried to stab at Lith’s throat, but he easily avoided the hit and pierced her heart.

Lith let darkness magic flow through the Gatekeeper, expecting her to commit a suicidal explosion. The warg’s attack had been too sloppy and hesitant. Killing her had been too easy. It had to be a trap.

Except it wasn’t.

"Thanks, brother." She said as the darkness faded from her eyes. The gratitude in her voice, which terribly resembled Rena’s, almost shattered Lith’s heart.

"It’s eating us from the inside." The warg coughed blood, revealing the small furball shivering with fear she had hidden in her other arm the whole time.

"I couldn’t resist much longer. Please, I don’t want to kill my baby, nor do I want him to become part of that thing."

The Gatekeeper flickered in Lith’s hand severing both lives at once. The two wargs died painlessly, but Solus was crying. The remaining grey wargs literally threw their lives at Lith, unwilling to hurt their pack mates.

The Abomination inside of them was too strong to resist its calling. They could only ride its hate toward the intruder and use him as a means to escape their fate. With each swing of Lith’s blade, a warg fell into oblivion and Solus cried harder.

Rage and hatred burned like a sun inside Lith’s heart, making him once again wonder if death was just a part of life or more like a part of him. Death had brought him to Mogar and had kept walking with him the whole time.

He would either fight it as a Healer or dispense it to those who stood in his path. For the wargs it had been a blessing. A quick, painless, way out from an eternity of slavery, trapped inside the monstrosity consuming them.

He promised to his companion that the thing in front of them would receive no such mercy.

"You shouldn’t have messed with my plate, brother." Tezka was busy consuming the four hybrids before their energy was lost forever while Lith killed the last wargs.

"It took me time and effort to make proper nourishment out of this horseshit. I’m still far from being whole and every bit helps."

During the last two days, the warg pack had followed Tezka’s instructions. They had exhausted all of their food reserves while practicing magic under the caring eye of the magical beast’s memories.

Until the hunger prevailed, awakening the real Tezka. For the centuries old Abomination, they weren’t cubs but merely a means to an end. He would use them to regain his body and power before confronting his other self.

It would lead him on the next step of the evolutionary scale that had eluded him for so long despite all of his efforts. Despite the countless lives Tezka had consumed, he was still just an Eldritch. Now, he could become so much more.

The Abomination just laughed and retaliated at the flabbergasted Ranger with an elbow strike that would have shattered his ribs if Lith hadn’t Blinked away at the last second. Black tendrils reconnected the head to the body and sewed it back in its place. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
