Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1930

"At ease." Lith replied. "I'm not here on official duty nor am I going to stay. I need to cross the border. Is that a problem?"

"For you? Not at all." The sergeant shrugged. "When you return, however, make sure to show your ID, or the guards will think you are a shapeshifter and shoot you on sight."

Lith thanked the guards for their service and went to the meeting point with Xenagrosh, a big rock used as a landmark a few kilometers away from the city.

"Isn't it dangerous for you to be in the Desert? Why didn't we meet past the border?" Lith asked after greeting the two Abominations.

"The borders are relatively safe. Here Salaark's senses are at their weakest. Unless we use a lot of magical power, she won't ever know we've been here." Zoreth shook her head.

"As for your question, if we met past the border, you would have risked being arrested. Salaark's golden plaque makes you a valuable hostage. Sure you would've had no trouble escaping, but having an army on our tail would be a bad way to start our trip."

"Where's Elphyn?" Bytra asked, surprised to see Lith alone.

"Right here." His eyes became golden and his voice feminine as he raised his hand to show her the stone ring. "Even after 700 years I still bear the scars of your attack. I can keep my physical form only for a short time before it crumbles.

"I prefer saving my strength for when it's needed."

"I'm really sorry, Elphyn. I swear that if I could, I'd give everything I have to switch our condition." Bytra's voice was filled with honest remorse that managed to get through even Solus' resentment.

"Please, call me Solus. I hate that name, especially when you are the one speaking it. It only brings me bad memories." She said.

Zoreth assumed her Shadow Dragon form, making Lith and Bytra climb on her back before taking flight. The border between Verendi and Garlen was filled with all kinds of elemental sealing arrays, making it impossible to fly or Warp.

Zoreth used her bloodline abilities to become as light as a feather and to turn herself and her passengers into a nigh-gaseous form that the wind carried through the border without triggering the magical protections.

She moved akin to a huge bird, propelled only by the flapping of her wings and the air currents. Once they got far away enough from the array field, she returned to normal and used magic to accelerate past the speed of sound. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Fuck me sideways." Lith said, gawking at the energy dome surrounding them.

Not only there was no air current slapping his face, but his feet felt as steady as if he was still on the ground. Yet the landscape flashing in front of his eyes in a blur told him otherwise.

"From the last message we received, we know that Theseus is not close to the Desert. There's no point wasting our time there. We'll reach one of the inner countries of Verendi and start looking from there." Zoreth said via air magic.

"Why not Warp?" Solus asked, gawking as well from her ring as she used the Eyes of Menadion to understand how the Dragon could fly that fast and protect her guests at the same time.

"Warp requires a destination and we have none." Bytra replied. "Also, if we appear out of thin air, we'll draw the attention of the guards, or worse, people will try to hire us.

"This way, instead, we can go wherever we want unnoticed and listen to the rumors as we fly above the small settlements."
