Supreme Magus novel Chapter 545

"As for Yozmogh, he went from a two eyed Balor to a six eyed one. The change made him physically weaker than before, but the raw power of each one of his spells is unparalleled."

"Fuck it! I need some fresh air." Lith said as he opened a Warp Steps which led as far from the lab as he could manage. Even if somehow someone followed him, they would be so weak that he could pulverize them in the blink of an eye.

"Ratpack, the human seems to be a little touchy. Are you sure he is the strongest, smartest, bravest champion you could find?" Zolgrish asked.

"Of course, master."

"What makes you so sure about it?"

"He only survivor. All others died, so he best one." Ratpack said.

Zolgrish slapped Ratpack’s on the back of his head, wondering if Lamb would ever return.

While the lich was cursing the gods for giving him Ratpack, Lith took out his army communicator the moment the Warp Steps closed behind him and called his handler.

"I’ve disposed of the next unit of monsters. Jambel is safe for now, but I’ve got bad news. The dungeon has turned out to be the abandoned lab of an ancient mage. It’s not just their numbers that are a problem, but also the fact that some of them are mutated."

"Mutated how?" Kamila asked. That word reminded her of the past monster outbreaks, making her worry.

"They are not like the wargs." Lith replied almost reading her mind.

"Their behaviour is like I expected it to be, only their abilities are boosted. Either it’s selective breeding or magical enhancement of sorts, I don’t know. The situation is very volatile, there are two dungeon masters, not just one.

"An ogre shaman and a Balor." Lith could almost hear Kamila flinching on the other side of the conversation. Lith was reporting nearly the truth, sticking to what Lord Wyalon had already reported.

"Is there really a Balor?" Kamila asked.

"More than one." Lith took out Trouble’s body as proof.

"What’s worse, they have access to some magical tools they managed to repurpose into weapons. So far the two groups were too busy fighting among themselves, but if they get out of there, we’re talking about at least a thousand mutated monsters armed to the teeth."

"What’s your plan?" The more Kamila heard, the more worried she became.

’Why the heck did I start an argument about his past? I don’t want our last conversation to be a stupid quarrel.’ She thought.

"The complex has no array blocking dimensional magic, so I can get in and out of it fast. My plan is to create a distraction and kill the two leaders. If I manage to cut off the head of the snake, the rioting caused by the power vacuum should do the rest.

"I know I can do it, but I want you to keep a group of Wardens on stand by. If you don’t hear from me within a few hours, send them to these coordinates and have them bring the whole complex down."

Lith then confirmed the position of the entrances Baron Wyalon had found to her and explained the nature of the arrays surrounding the place, making the Wardens’ work much easier.

’If only I was a better Warden and there wasn’t a frigging lich involved I could do it myself. This way when everything starts collapsing, Zolgrish will have no reason to suspect me.’

"Copy that, Ranger Verhen. Please, remember that you can always pull out and wait for reinforcements." Kamila’s hologram appeared suddenly. Her voice was professional and detached as always, but her eyes contained a desperate plea.

"There’s a big snowstorm incoming. If we don’t settle this now, Jambel and its citizens will be completely isolated for days. Bad weather is nothing to an orc shaman, the monsters would slaughter them like lambs." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
