Supreme Magus novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825 World Tree Part 1

Lith had no idea what a World Sapling was, so he planned of using the only powerful Awakened he knew to gain the Council’s support or at least ask Faluel to share with him her knowledge about the matters at hand.

"You have done well coming to me, Lith." Faluel said. She was in her Hydra form because he had caught her in a bad moment. Between her magical research and training Protector, Faluel could only pay one head worth of attention to him

"Not only is Laruel’s situation quite dire, but also if you contacted the human Council, you would have put yourself in danger."

"What do you mean?" Lith asked.

"I’ve never lied to you and I’m not going to start now. You have done wonders in achieving amazing feats while keeping your nature as an Awakened hidden, but now that you’ve been acknowledged by the Council, the two worlds are bound to meet.

"You’ve already made yourself a lot of enemies in the human society, but now they can rely on the backing of several Awakened you’ve crossed."

"Wait a minute. I’ve never crossed anyone. I’ve simply defended my life from those who made an attempt on me. Also, I’m pretty sure that I’ve killed all those who stood in my path, so who exactly has a bone to pick with me?" Lith asked.

"Every single young Awakened." Her reply shocked him, but what followed was much worse.

"You’ve slain Treius after he bonded with a cursed item, an event no one cared for as long as you were just a nameless Ranger, but now you are a benchmark.

"You’ve killed the disciples of many leading figures of the Awakened community, but most importantly, you’ve caused the downfall of their masters as well. On top of that, you’ve refused Raagu’s scouting attempt and drawn my attention.

"Those are all feats that garnered you respect, but also envy and resentment. A lot of masterless Awakened depended on Gaaron to make their living and all the young apprentices now have to fight you to gain their master’s recognition.

"You have become a constant in their life. For the former, you’re the one who took away what little they had and got away with it. For the latter, you’ve turned down the opportunity they never had: to become the disciple of the strongest human Awakened alive.

"To make matters worse, you’ve also become the object of their resentment since now whenever they make a mistake, their masters compare your achievements with theirs.

"Just like the old Awakened are thrilled at the idea to watch the heights you might reach, the young Awakened want you to fall, both metaphorically and literally. Possibly dying in the process.

"As you can imagine, they are more than willing to give fate a ’hand’ and trigger your destruction."

"Wait a minute, if the old fogeys admire me, why don’t they just stop their disciples?" Lith asked.

"Because if their disciples beat you, it would mean that you were not destined to greatness, but just the spur others needed to reach their true potential. If their disciples fail, instead, you’ll just have weeded out the weak for them.

"Also, don’t forget that all the old Awakened, Raagu included, want to bring you from the beasts’ side to their own." Lith didn’t miss how Faluel had not said ’to the human side.’

It heavily implied that the human Council wasn’t treating the matter as a community, but considered him a bone of contention.

"Isn’t anything that the beasts’ Council can do to help me?" _{freewebnøvel.com}
