Chapter 989 Miracles and Madness Part 1

The moment Lith took Solus’s ring off, his life force and mana flow returned to normal.

"A dimensional device capable of cloaking? Remarkable." Jiza nodded while walking around Lith. Her gaze made him feel like a purebred dog being examined for a competition.

"Let me guess, your life force has been damaged in some crazy experiment, but that didn’t hinder your body refinement. You must have self-Awakened for over ten years now minimum and you have a blue mana core, correct?" Jiza had yet to even come close, but her estimates were all on point.

"How did you know?" Lith almost expected her to discover his hybrid nature as well.

"Experience, child. I bet that right now you see me just as a big lump of energy." She replied as Lith entrusted his ring to Faluel.

"Now extend your hand and don’t try anything funny. I like you already, but I will not hesitate to kill you if I need to." Jiza spoke with such a casual tone that it triggered Lith’s survival instinct.

’Note to self, check if this woman is related to the Myrok household.’ Lith thought.

"Had you given the ring to Athung in the hope of garnering the human Council’s favors since you’re already friends with the beasts, I would’ve been disappointed." Jiza explained as she used Invigoration to study every nook and cranny of Lith’s body.

"Only suck-ups pretend to ignore that no relationship can be built without mutual trust. We don’t know you and we have done nothing to deserve your loyalty. Your choice proves that you are grateful and respectful for the good received.

"That or you are a schemer son of a bitch." She took a long look at Lith, wondering which one of the options was more likely.

"You Awakened very young, trained very hard, yet you didn’t make any rookie mistake and lived right under our nose for years. Which means that despite your young age you can’t be underestimated. Put them on, please."

A pair of metal handcuff with a purple mana crystal the size of a nut on each bracelet appeared in her hands. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"Wait a minute, this is Odi magic!" Lith recognized the enchantment the moment he examined the artifact with Invigoration. Its design was modern, it used runes, and required much less magical power, but the pseudo core was roughly the same.

"Kid, the Council existed before the three Great Countries were founded and will exist even after the Guardians will get bored with them and let them rot. If you get excited by a pair of handcuffs, you’ll die of a heart attack when we arrive at our destination."

Lith ignored her and looked straight at Faluel.

"Yes, it’s really necessary." The Hydra said. "They will lock onto your life force’s signature and prevent you from channeling any form of magic. Breathing techniques included. The Council upgraded them nicely."

Lith hesitated for a while, during which Jiza didn’t so much as blink.

The moment Lith wore them, an ugly feeling spread from his wrists and coursed through his entire body. He felt as if a huge burden had been placed on his shoulders and he had to look at the world through tinted glasses.

Only then did Jiza blink again and opened a Warp Steps leading to the Council’s headquarters. She pushed Lith, making him step through it first while she kept her hand on his back to control his every movement.

The four Awakened appeared in the middle of a courtroom with only a dock and a long rectangular table where five ancient beings that Lith assumed to be his judges sat.
