"What’s our next move?" Friya asked. "Even though we now know their endgame, we can’t just sit idly. Once the array is activated, there’s no telling how long the process will take. I don’t want to lose years of life!" freeweɓnovel.cøm
"I agree. We must make our move before they get the upper hand." Ryman said.
"We must lure them out in the open and to do it, we need to break their toy. Without the people affected by the Griever, their array will break. The only reason why they do not get themselves healed is that they have fallen for the Church’s deception."
"We need to get rid of the Church and heal those morons." Lith said.
After learning about the presence of more than two Awakened inside Zantia, Lith had been forced to give up on his original plan of storming the Church in his hybrid form. It was something he had to do on his own since it would have been hard to explain to Friya about his shapeshifting abilities.
Protector’s arrival was truly a blessing. He was both an excellent fighter and a perfect cover for what was going to happen. Friya already knew about Lith’s abnormal body, Death Vision, and about him sharing his life force with Ryman.
Now all Lith needed was a better understanding of the Church of the Six’s teachings before giving those Awakened a taste of their own medicine.
***
Just a few kilometers away from Viscount Krame’s mansion, the four remaining Awakened were arguing about their plan and cursing Kieran’s name. If not for his childish pride of being the next heir of the Blood Desert’s best assassin, everything would still be on the right track.
"We have no choice. We must continue even without Deraniel." Ailia said. Like Pelion, she was native of the Gorgon Empire. Her blue mana core was as strong as Lith’s, whereas her body was weaker than his.
Her master had Awakened her when she already had a green mana core. Her body needed a lot of time to adapt, and she still needed help to survive whenever it was the moment to expel the impurities for a breakthrough.
She was 1.75 meters (5’9") tall with light blonde hair and green eyes. Thanks to being an Awakened, her figure would make most men break their necks while turning their heads at her passing. Yet among the Awakened ones, she was just one of many.
"Agreed. Not all of us have an Awakened daddy like Deraniel. ’There’s always next year’ my ass!" Pelion said while imitating Deraniel’s accent and spitting on the fireplace, turning it into a pillar of fire with a spark of mana.
"I’m not saying to give up on the plan. I need Third Eye as much as you do. I’m just saying that maybe we should delay it. If we leave Zantia now, the Council will never find us." Benyo nervously bit her nails.
She was 1.77 meters (5’10) with flaming red hair and hazel eyes. She possessed a bright cyan mana core, but thanks to her master Awakening her when she was very young, her body refinement had been easy, at least compared to her companions.
Thanks to that, her body was stronger than Ailia, and her figure was even better.
"Delay it? We’ll never get another opportunity like this. The city is isolated and the arrays are set in place. If you are so afraid, then I say that we start the ritual now and then we run away as fast as we can.
