Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3741

Chapter 3741: Seize the Chance (Part 2)

"Don’t lose hope and focus on the energy flow, my children." Ryman said.

"What energy-" Protector syphoned the golden lightning, cutting Lilia short.

It left her feeling heavy and weak for one second before Ryman passed the extra energy on to his children again. He repeated the cycle several times, allowing Lilia and her siblings to feel the energy flow as it ebbed and flowed in their bodies.

’If Dad can do it, so can I.’ Lilia thought as she stopped trying to manipulate the golden lightning and started offering less and less resistance to it.

Leran quickly caught up with her, making the transition from weak to strong quicker and smoother. The younger Skolls were less experienced, but bloodline abilities were more about intuition and instinct than understanding, and the children had plenty of them.

As Lilia and Leran mastered the basics of Life Eater, the golden lightning’s flow strength increased. That and the resonance between the Skolls’ bloodline ability allowed the babies to mimic their older siblings without even understanding what they were doing.

’That’s good.’ Syrah thought. ’Skolls and Hati are indeed similar. We can also take from our alpha, but only negative things like wounds. Yet I’m not going to mention something like this to children this young.’

Her train of thought derailed, and she yelped when something attacked her most vulnerable spot in a ruthless ambush.

Solkar had gotten bewitched by Syrah’s waggling tail and exploited the power of the golden lightning to catch his quarry by surprise.

The baby Skoll was biting and clawing at the Hati Queen’s tail, trying to pin it to the ground in what was supposed to be a submission hold. Syrah tried her best to stay still, but she had little control over her tail.

She was still infused with the golden lightning and was afraid of hurting the baby. Luckily for her, fear froze her and her tail still.

"What are you doing, you rascal?" Selia jumped out of the window to stop the attack. "I’m so sorry, Queen Syrah. I knew it was a bad idea to let a small baby take part in your training."

"Please, call me Syrah. No honorifics." The Hati Queen said. "Moreover, you have no reason to apologize. A playful pup is a healthy pup. It’s the most wonderful blessing a parent can ask for."

"Except he is no pup, he is a natural disaster." Selia picked Solkar by the scruff of his neck, and the baby Skoll fell limp, afraid of hurting his mother as much as Syrah was of hurting him. "Bad Solkar. Why did you do it?"

Solkar yelped, barked, and whined in reply.

"What do you mean, you saw a chance of victory and you seized it?" Selia asked. "Syrah is no enemy, and there is no fight if your opponent can’t defend itself. How is a tail supposed to bite you back?"

A short howl and a bark followed.

"What do you mean, an easy victory is still a victory?" Selia was horrified. "Lith, what are you teaching my baby boy?"

"I’m innocent." Lith replied while playing with Elysia and Valeron. "Think about it. When was the last time I babysat Solkar? I’ve been quite busy recently."

"You have a point." Selia nodded. "Then, who is responsible? I refuse to believe Ryman would teach such a thing to our children."

"And you’re right." He nodded. "I’m not above ambushes, but only when it’s needed, not for glory for its own sake."

"Lilia, Leran, did you teach Solkar to do that?" Selia asked.

"No, Mom!" They replied. "We are honorable warriors."

"Fenrir?"

"I’m hungry!" The baby girl replied.

"I’ll take that as a no." Selia sighed, giving Fenrir a snack just to be pestered for seconds as soon as the baby girl swallowed it. "That leaves only one possible explanation. No one taught you anything. This is all your idea!"

’Protector is a wonderful specimen of his race and a noble warrior.’ She thought. ’There is no telling how powerful the combination of our species would be. Too bad he is already taken.’
