Supreme Magus novel Chapter 964

Chapter 964 The Fallen Part 2

"Captain Yehval, I charged you with keeping them calm and you failed me, forcing me to reveal my presence." Kamila was flabbergasted realizing that the Queen had been watching and listening to them the entire time.

Suddenly Lith’s paranoia sounded reasonable.

"I relieve you from your duty. Prepare them for what is about to come and embarrass me no further."

Everyone turned toward Kamila, looking at her with steel gazes as if there was a traitor among them. Even Zinya didn’t say a word to defend her.

"I couldn’t disobey a direct order from the Queen, just as there wasn’t anything I could say to ease your worries." Kamila said to both the Queen and the Verhens.

Sylpha’s gaze softened, realizing she had tasked the Captain with an impossible mission. If it was her son they were talking about, the Commander and his men would be all over the place, reduced to small bits.

Two more days passed with no more news from either Solus or the Professors. For the first time in his life, Lith hated his secrets. He had asked Marth and Vastor multiple times if everything was alright at Lutia, only to hear them lie to his face.

Yet he couldn’t expose them without revealing Solus’s existence and their bond. He focused solely on Accumulation, drawing world energy non-stop in the case he needed to escape.

’If only I managed to see out of this cell and could tell Solus where I am, she might be able to help me.’ He thought.

Lith understood that something was truly wrong when Vastor, Marth, and Manohar walked through the door of his cell in their Spellbreaker uniform and all wearing a stern expression.

"Change into this. We’ll wait for you outside." Marth handed to him what looked like a light blue jumpsuit that would have looked identical to an Earth’s prisoner uniform if not for bearing the army color.

Lith used both Invigoration and Life Vision, discovering that the cloth was enchanted, yet it was nothing he had ever seen before and was already imprinted.

’At least it’s not a slave item, but I can’t refuse to wear it anyway. I’m completely disarmed whereas they are veterans and are combat-ready. The Professors aren’t wearing ceremonial garbs and weapons, but the real deal.

’I doubt I can take out even one of them. They are prepared and waiting for troubles. Also, I’ve already seen how good Vastor’s and Manohar’s teamwork is, if we add Marth, I don’t have a ghost of a chance without my equipment and Solus.’ Lith thought.

The Professors had him walking in the middle of a triangular formation, with Headmaster Marth on point while Vastor and Manohar walked behind him.

"I’m really sorry, kid. You deserved better." Manohar said, his tone sadder than Lith had ever heard him. The god of healing’s ominous words deserved him several curses from his colleagues.

Paranoia made Lith plan on weaving his best spells, perform a surprise attack on his wardens with three tier five spells at the same time, and then flee from the Royal castle.

Then, his good sense stopped him.
