Supreme Magus novel Chapter 885

Chapter 885 Elemental Arrays Part 1

Nalrond was a man in his mid-twenties about 1.84 meters (6’) tall, with a lean and toned body that no one in their right mind would associate with his hulking animal form.

He had raven black hair, green eyes, and an unkempt beard. His bronze skin was a clear sign that he wasn’t from the Gorgon Empire nor from the north of the Kingdom.

"Oh my." Solus blushed, and with her all the lights in the tower.

"I guess you are right, Nalrond. Alerting the Kingdom would have been pointless." Lith nodded. "Whether they believed your story or not, you’d have ended up as a lab rat. As for Acala even if they decided to kill him instead of exploiting his skills, Dawn would have simply moved to the next moron."

"Now that you know everything, do I get a last wish after my last meal?" Nalrond asked.

"How many times do I have to tell you that wanton murder is not part of my plan?" Lith emitted a stressed sigh. "The plan is to avoid useless fights, contact the Beast Council, and have them deal with this mess."

"What?" Nalrond couldn’t believe his own ears. He had noticed that Lith was capable of using first magic during their earlier confrontation, but he thought that just like Acala, his abilities originated from his bond with the cursed object.

"Are you really part of the Beast’s Council?"

"I am. I also guess it was them entrusting your tribe with the relic." Lith said.

"That was centuries ago. We had no contact with the Council ever since. Otherwise I would have asked for their help instead of acting solo." Nalrond said.

"Get some rest while you can. Dawn’s spawns could find us any minute now and I’ve no idea how to get out of here. Worst case scenario, we’ll have to fight our way out." Lith sent the Sentries to patrol the area.

They would warn him as soon as the enemy approached, giving him the time to make preparations.

"You don’t need my help. Her powers rival those of the Bright Day." Nalrond pointed at Solus, who was trying to eat while avoiding to look at their naked guest.

The hybrid didn’t believe in free meals and the whole situation still made no sense to him.

"I wish it was that simple." Lith said. "We are against at least 15 spawns plus Acala. Do you know about a weak spot we could exploit?"

"Dawn has no weak point." Nalrond shook his head. "But if you really want to escape, there’s a tunnel in the lower levels that leads outside."

"Are you sure?" Lith asked.

"Absolutely. I investigated the area earlier while I was trying to understand Dawn’s endgame. It was my plan B in the case I failed to kill her host. Destroy everything she is working on and then bury her under the whole mountain." Nalrond replied.

He told Lith about an ancient underground lab that the Living Legacy had worked hard to restore to its full functionality. According to him, there were a lot of tomes and a machine.

"The only reason I didn’t touch anything was to not lose the element of surprise."
