Supreme Magus novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883 Evil Light Part 1

"Oh, yes. My ancestors could use all elements like humans and cast all kinds of spells silently like beasts. What they lacked was the animal’s affinity for magic and the human’s training, so the experiment was an apparent failure.

"Imagine their captors’ amazement once my ancestors realized that first magic was just the beginning. When they broke out of their filth-ridden cells, drank the blood of those arrogant mages to quench their thirst and then feasted upon the arrogant nobles families who had commissioned the job."

Nalrond’s pupils turned bright red in a blood frenzy, as if he could see the entire scene unfolding in front of his eyes and he was eager to join his kinsmen.

"Once they achieved their revenge, my ancestors tried to live among the beasts, but because of our human mind, their society was hard to cope with. On top of that, our reproductive preferences remain unchanged, no matter the nature of our animal half.

"Living among humans turned out to be impossible as well. My ancestors had to hide their magical talents at all times, but it wasn’t our hubris driving us away from civilization, it was fear.

"Fear of being discovered, of being subject to those experiments again. Adults can hide their abilities, but kids are hard to handle while newborns..." Nalrond shook his head.

"I know, they can be born in animal form and shapeshift according to their stress levels." Lith dismissed the thing with a wave of his hand. "I’m not interested in a history lesson so much as in understanding our present situation. Get to the point."

"Do you think I enjoy revealing my heritage to someone like you? I’m only doing it because your master is strong. Maybe strong enough to capture Dawn. I’m betting on the monster I don’t know only because my hatred beats all reason.

"You need to know this stuff, so in the case you beat the Bright Day, you’ll be able to make contact with my people who know how to contain her. You can’t store her in a dimensional space, you can’t destroy her, and entrusting her to anyone else would be utter madness." Nalrond assumed he would die the moment he outlived his usefulness.

"Do I look like a servant to you?" Lith released his aura, enveloping the entirety of the dining room in blue light.

There was no hostility in his voice nor killing intent in his mana, just pure, unbridled power. Solus wasn’t the only one benefitting from the tower. World energy endlessly flowed inside Lith, turning his aura into a raging ocean.

"Solus is not my master, she is my partner." Lith said.

Even though Lith wasn’t moving, Nalrond felt as if the ground was collapsing under his seat while his host grew in size until he was a giant. After spending years watching after the Bright Day, the hybrid could discern the energy coming from a cursed object from that of its host.

The moment Nalrond realized that Lith wasn’t lying, that all that power belonged to him and didn’t come from Solus, the Rezar’s mind went blank in confusion.

"Now continue with your story." Lith recalled his aura and the world went back to normal.

Nalrond could finally breathe again. The feeling of oppression that had been weighing on his chest was gone.
