Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2083

Chapter 2083 Awakened Problems (Part 1)

"Ileza is a nice kid and a good Guardian. That's why after beating her within an inch of her life, I let her choose between dying along with her Council or grovel at my feet and get the fuck out of my way."

Tyris' radiant smile didn't match the cold light of her silver eyes nor the bursts of raw power that with each of her heartbeats made her muscles bulge and her bones pop. Tyris's fury was different from Salaark's, but in no way inferior.

Just like the Phoenix Guardian had darkened the sun, it had been the Griffon Guardian's light to temporarily return the undead to life and put the Abominations on the run.

"Are the representatives of Verendi's Council dead?" Lith asked.

"Not just them. I killed anyone remotely involved and burned their houses to the ground." Tyris replied with a crazed giggle.

"Doesn't that mean that Verendi will undergo a turbulent time until the power vacuum is filled?" Jirni said.

"Probably, but I fail to see how that's my problem." The Mother of all Griffons threw Jirni a glare that made her respectfully step behind Lith.

The gaze of an enraged Guardian was enough to make a human feel like their bones were melting.

The rest of the Knight's Guard had either fainted or bent down in prayer to appease the angry gods in the room.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you all." Tyris cleansed her dress from the bits of body parts before handing Jirni a thick folder. "This is everything you were looking for, complete with dates, names, and addresses of everyone involved.

"Consider it my apology. Also, I'd really appreciate if you let Constable Yehval go home early today. She has gone through a lot today and probably she'd want to share the good news with the rest of her family.

"It would sadden me greatly if they were to learn about the baby from the interlink."

"Of course." Jirni's survival instinct told her that any answer besides "yes" might trigger the extinction level events Leegaain had worked so hard to prevent. "I'll stay here and make sure to maintain an information blackout for a least a couple of hours."

"That would be lovely. Bye." Tyris Warped everyone to the Desert, leaving only Jirni, the Guard, and the suspects behind.

The three Guardians brought the couple to Salaark's dining room, where they assembled the entire Verhen family to avoid repeating the news more than once.

Tista was on the battlefield as well, fighting for control over another portion of the Nestrar region alongside Bodya, Phloria, and the corps of Awakened that she had trained.

The dimensional spell Switched the young bright-blue cored Demon with an ancient Golden Dragon. Leegaain had randomly selected one of his firstborns to take her place and make sure that Tista's absence didn't affect the war.

The Divine Beast was immensely pissed off for getting the short end of the stick and missing the family meeting. He took his fury out on Thrud's troops, killing hundreds before a few of her generals arrived to even the field yet they died one minute later.

But that's a story for another day.

In Salaark's palace, everyone was either rejoicing at the news of the baby or was simply too shocked to have any kind of reaction.

"This is wonderful news! When did it happen?" Elina was among the former, half-smiling and half-crying in joy non-stop.

"During the very first night Kamila got here." Salaark replied.

"Isn't it a bit too soon for a party?" Elina said the moment the room was clear. "The first pregnancy is the most dangerous. I don't mean to jinx it, but what if after all this Kamila loses the baby?

"Wouldn't it better to wait at least three months to not give her false hope?"

"That would be a valid concern if we were talking about a human baby." Tyris said. "A Divine Beast is different. There's no such thing as miscarriage for those of our blood."

"That's a huge relief." Raaz felt a heavy burden lifted from his chest. "By the way, since you knew everything about our baby, can you also tell us already if Lith's child will be a boy or a girl?"

"It's a…"

Meanwhile, in their living quarters, the couple was struggling to wrap their head around the latest revelation.

Lith couldn't stop staring at Kamila as if she was some kind of unknown monster so he had to walk back blindly to search for the bed where he plunged.

"We're safe now. There's no threat here." He said while appreciating the softness of the mattress and the powerful arrays surrounding the palace that together soothed his nerves.

Then, he started hyperventilating and shifting between his four bodies without control.

"I know that this is scary, babe, but I need you to talk to me." Kamila took his face in her hands, freezing him in the features of Derek McCoy. "I can't do this alone."

"I never said I'm not going to help you. It's just that the timing couldn't be any worse." Between the war and hearing his old Earth voice, Lith kept seeing flashes of his life as a child on both planets.
