Supreme Magus novel Chapter 725

"Where are we? Who are you? More importantly, am I dead? Is Lith dead too?" Solus asked. She felt as if she was about to faint, yet she was physically incapable of doing it.

"You are where no living being is supposed to be. Inside of my consciousness. As for who I am, usually you call me by many names. The All-Father, the Great Mother, but I think that recently Mogar is the most popular." The Elina-thing replied.

"Wait what? Why am I here? If I’m not dead, why I don’t have any of my powers?" Solus was only getting more confused with each answer she received.

"You would be dead if you still had your original body, but the one Menadion bestowed upon you is too strong for a mere lightning to kill you. Not to mention that your life force is linked to the human’s.

"You’re in a state very close to death and since I was there when it happened, the most human part of your mind naturally returned to me. You don’t have powers because you don’t need them here. You’re safe. Unlike him."

A wave of Mogar’s hand made their surroundings disappear, returning Solus to the Odi’s underground complex.

Solus suddenly realized that something was wrong. Mogar’s presence was calm like that of any normal human, but there were three more pillars other than the one enveloping Lith.

They were much bigger than his silver pillar and so powerful that even in her current state, just being so close to them covered Solus in a cold sweat.

"What are you doing to Lith? What’s the meaning of the silver pillar and who or what are those things?" Solus pointed at the remaining three pillars surrounding Kulah.

"I’m not doing anything that your friend didn’t ask for himself. He calls for me so wearily often, but this time I answered his call." Mogar shook her head, shapeshifting into Rena.

"The silver pillar is the way I communicate with those like him. As for the others..." The second wave of her hand gave Solus the impression that the whole world was zooming out.

She could now see with her eyes three enormous beasts surrounding Kulah. A golden griffon, a black scaled dragon, and a white phoenix. Each one of them was standing on its hind legs which seemed to reach down to Mogar’s core while their heads stood so tall that they were able to pierce the skies.

The closest comparison between the dragon in front of her and the emerald dragon they had met inside Huryole she could think of, was that of a volcano and a match.

"They are my Guardians. I brought them here to pass my judgment in the case that your friend dies." Mogar’s warm and motherly smile despite the dire circumstances Lith, Phloria, and Quylla were, gave Solus the creeps.

"For too long those bastards hid from my sight, sucking my blood for their filthy experiments. I usually don’t mind mosquitoes, but this one has got too big and too annoying to let it live."

"If you already have Guardians, what do you need Lith for? Can’t you see he is suffering?" Solus saw Lith’s seven eyes burning like torches. She had no idea if it was either due to his rage or the tears that in such a form looked like flames.

Even without their mind link, just by looking at his face, she could tell that he was grieving.

"Life is suffering, child. You should know it better than anyone else." Mogar sneered, assuming Jirni’s features. "I still need many pieces on my chessboard and so far, your friend fits the bill. Do you know why magical beasts are born with two elements?
