Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4106

Chapter 4106: The Black Throne (Part 1)

The mages of the Association had succeeded in overpowering the Upyr, but in the process had lost track of the creature that had triggered the alarm. At that point, the local ruler had alerted the Royals, who in turn had called their best hunter.

Lith.

"Wow. Better than a mind link." Friya knew every detail of the reports and the map of the area like the back of her hand.

"Thanks." Solus said as she Warped the tower to the nearest known mana geyser.

"What about the paper trail?" Nalrond asked. "How will you explain how we got here so quickly without using the Warp Gate?"

"We are not here to stay." Solus replied. "This is just to take a full scan of the area with the Watchtower and the Eyes without burning our brains. We’ll go back to Lutia and use the official channels once we’re done- Shit!"

"Yeah, you can say that." Lith turned in the direction of the known energy signature. "Whatever this is, it’s big. Meln wouldn’t send a cursed object for a grocery run."

Everyone in Jorl’s group wore a cloaking item and had never met Lith. Everyone but Uragar. From that distance, the Eyes of Menadion would have failed to detect his energy signature due to his exceptional cloaking device.

With the Watchtower and the Ears boosting its abilities, however, the artifact managed to pinpoint Uragar’s position and even get a glimpse on his associates.

"Who are those other guys?" Solus asked.

Without anything to lock onto, she couldn’t tell either the race or the power of the other members of Uragar’s group.

"I have no clue." Lith replied. "Ripha?"

"I’m not sure, but if I had to take a guess, based on the early readings, I’d say we are watching at two Divine Beasts, a few Fae and plant folk, and one more cursed item." Menadion said.

"You can tell that much already, Mom?" Solus was flabbergasted.

"I’m just guessing, Sweetie." Menadion replied. "I’ve used the Eyes of Menadion a lot back in the day, and I’ve analyzed so many people that I can recognize their race even from partial data, yet it’s not a science.

"Also, and I’m telling you this only because we know of that Jorl guy, and one of the two Divine Beasts should be a Griffon. The other one belongs to a type I’ve never studied before."

"Could it be this?" Lith gave Ripha the Eyes’ data about Theseus. "The other Divine Beast sighted fighting at Meln’s side was a Bastet."

"I’m sorry, I can’t tell." Menadion shook her head. "The energy signature is too contaminated by the Eldritch side. It could be anyone. Let’s wait- What’s happening?"

The tower shook violently, cracks appearing along its walls, and its lights flickered like during a power outage. The Eyes of Menadion lost the signal, while the Watchtower became nothing but a decoration.

"For some reason, the mana geyser below us has lost half of its power and keeps getting weaker." Solus replied. "I don’t know the how or why, but we don’t have the time to waste. The tower is about to collapse!"

Luckily, Starforge had already accumulated the energy for the Tower Warp, and Solus used it to go back to Lutia. There, the tower received a steady flow of world energy that allowed it to repair the damage and restore its full functionality.

"Has something like this ever happened before?" Tista asked.

"Never." Lith and Solus answered in unison.
