Supreme Magus novel Chapter 669

"You were wrong, Ranger Verhen. The darkness array wasn’t for the Teks, but for us intruders." Neshal said. "If you had stepped through the Gate, the darkness spell would have tried to kill you right after sealing the dimensional door.

"Using the Odi’s runes is too dangerous. It’s better to go through the front door and clear our path one bit at a time instead of jumping feet first into a trap."

"How long before we can resume exploring Kulah?" Lith asked.

"At least a couple of days. I recommend four days so that we can use fire magic without risking to suffocate. Judging from the Golems’ behavior, the Odi worked hard to prevent intruders from using powerful fire spells, so by messing with that we might have an easier time countering their defenses."

"Agreed. We only have to wait now." Phloria said.

Since he had nothing to do, Lith went inside the men’s quarters. He used earth magic and the Hush spell to get some privacy. Then, he took out his army amulet and called his handler while using Accumulation.

Feeding the amulet enough energy to counter the interference was child’s play for him. Unlike fake mages, Lith could freely manipulate his mana core.

Meanwhile, on Mogar’s surface, the sudden pull at her consciousness made Kamila flinch. She anxiously took her communicator out of her purse to check if it was the Human Resources.

They were in charge of informing Constables if something happened to their relatives. Lith had disappeared off the face of Mogar for almost two weeks and to make matters worse, Fallmug was missing as well.

After Zinya had petitioned for divorce, he had tried multiple times to contact Kamila to discover his wife’s whereabouts, failing every single time. She had never shared her contact rune with him and had blocked her mother’s the moment Zinya had received her own communication amulet. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

Her family was now officially dead to her. Yet she couldn’t help but worry that something had happened to Lith or that Fallmug had found Zinya, so Kamila was on edge at the idea of receiving bad news.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from that thing during our lessons?" Jirni said, stabbing their prisoner in his tight with one of her needles.

"Whatever it is, it can wait."

"Lith’s rune is active! He’s calling me." Kamila ignored the man’s screams and showed Jirni the blinking rune, almost jumping for the joy.

"What are you waiting for? Answer immediately, I haven’t heard from neither him nor my daughters for days!" Jirni planted a mouth gag on the prisoner with a well-placed fist, which also dislocated his jaw so that it would not need straps to secure it.

"But first: Royal override. Identification: Archon Jirni Ernas. Password of the day: Sylpha, Silverwing, Knight, Blue." All the magic crystals on Kamila’s amulet lit up at once.

"I’ve activated the secure line. No one can listen to your conversation, not even the army."

"Thanks! There are so many things I can’t say as a handler." Kamila couldn’t believe her luck.

"If you really want to thank me, once you two are done, put him on. I need to speak to him as well. While we are at it, use meeting room number three. It’s the only one without recording devices." Jirni said.

"Will do! I’ll try to be quick."

"There’s no rush dear. We’re done for today." Jirni’s words surprised the prisoner quite a bit. He had been captured during a slave auction and identified as one of its ringleaders.
