Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2355

"Do you need a ride?" Salaark asked, beaming with joy for the trust that Lith put in her and the new member of the family.

"Thank you, Grandma." Lith embraced her.

He felt so tired and disgusted from all the bloodshed that even the thought of looking for a geyser made him want to puke. He felt cold and dark whereas Salaark was warm and bright.

Lith felt terrible at the idea of all the people who had lived inside the Golden Griffon. The people he had killed along with Hystar.

"I have something to do in the Empire." Leegaain said. "You go first. I'll join you as soon as I can."

A Warp brought him, Milea, Tyris, and Valeron right inside his secret lair.

There, Leari the Thunderborne, Protheus the Doppelganger, and every one of Thrud's unique creations were waiting for the Guardian of Knowledge.

"What the fuck?" Milea said in shock. "How could these bastards escape from the Kingdom and reach the Empire so quickly?"

"They didn't. I brought them here." Leegaain replied.

"He's the world's keeper, child." Tyris answered her silent question. "Leegaain's duty is to preserve the knowledge that would otherwise be lost and the creatures that Mogar's people aren't ready to accept."

"Let me get this straight. If Fyrwal showed no mercy, you would have saved Ufyl too, correct?" The Empress asked.

"That's right." Leegaain nodded. "They are unique beings and have no fault in the way they were born. They have been lied to and manipulated their whole life. I am going to let them live but they'll have to earn their freedom.

"Until I'm certain that Thrud's brainwashing is gone and that they have paid for their crimes, they are not going anywhere."

"There's no point in keeping me alive. Just kill me already." Protheus sobbed. He had no heart, but Thrud's death seemed to hurt as if someone was ripping it out of his chest anyway.

"Really? Would you abandon your brother?" Leegaain showed him the small Valeron who giggled at him.

"My liege!" The Divine Beasts said in unison.

"Brother!" The Doppelganger jumped up and hugged the baby, his tears now of joy.

"Don't be so quick to give up on life. You are a baby as well, barely older than Valeron." Leegaain patted Protheus' head. "You've known nothing but Thrud's teachings. She may have been a good mother to you, but she was a bad person.

"Her rage and madness infected you for so long that you consider them normal. You and your children need time to see Mogar with your own eyes. To lift the veil with which Arthan's daughter clouded your judgement."

"My children?" Protheus echoed in disbelief.

Then, he saw them. The other Doppelgangers who had been born from him were all there, rescued from the ruins of the Golden Griffon as well.

They screamed in joy and relief seeing both their father and their uncle alive and well. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"I wouldn't doom a race like that." Leegaain shook his head. "Welcome home, children."

Meanwhile, in the Essar Region, Orpal kept crying on the ground.

"Enough torture. I beg of you. Make it stop." It wasn't the first time that Thrud created a complex illusion to fool him into believing to be free.

Then, she would appear when he was at the peak of his happiness and beat him into a pulp until he lost his mind in despair.
