Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4253

Chapter 4253: Frozen in Time (Part 1)

"I see." Lith’s voice lost any trace of humanity. "I need you to come pick my prisoners and me up. Discretion is not an issue."

"I can see your position." She replied. "It’s quite far, but I should manage to reach you from the nearest mana geyser with the Warp Mirror. Solus out."

The Demons kept draining the Awakened’s vitality and checking their pulse to ensure that none of them regained consciousness. Lith also reinforced the Griffon Fetters, just to be safe.

Solus arrived a few seconds later and Warped everyone inside the tower. She had already prepared a room where the six elements were sealed, and space was compressed.

"Next stop, the Blood Desert?" She asked.

"Yes, please." He nodded, feeling her worry and rage through their bond.

It took the tower a few more seconds to charge up and move to Salaark’s palace.

Lith and Solus weren’t surprised to find her waiting for them right before the tower’s entrance.

"I’m really sorry about what happened, Featherlings." The Overlord sighed. "You have no idea how angry I am! This would have never happened in the Desert."

"I know, Grandma." Lith gave her a polite nod.

"If you need a place to stay until everyone recovers from the bad experience, remember that you’ll always be honored guests in my house." Salaark said. "You can stay here for however long you need."

"Thanks, Grandma." Solus replied. "Can we use your Pits of Agony?"

She and Lith had yet to discuss what to do with the prisoners, but she was certain they wouldn’t argue about that.

"I would be offended if you didn’t use them, Featherling!" The Overlord snorted. "Human-faced monsters deserve special care. If only..."

She bit her lower lip in frustration so hard that it bled. Salaark loved every one of the Verhens. They carried her blood only because of Mogar’s interference, but that didn’t make them any less precious to her.

Salaark wouldn’t have spared an ounce of her considerable power to protect them from the slightest threat if her duty as a Guardian didn’t stop her. No matter how much pain it caused her, she could only stand and watch.

Intervening would have spared them suffering, but also kept them from learning precious lessons and growing from them.

A wave of her hand Warped everyone on the edge of the Pits, and a flick of Lith’s fingers splashed the Awakened with the last cold water that they would enjoy for the rest of their lives.

"Here’s how this works." He said. "We are in the Blood Desert now, and those are the Pits of Agony."

The Awakened’s blood ran cold despite the heat of the evening sun. Everyone knew what that place was and that there was no escaping from it.

"I’m going to throw you in there. I’ll come back in a week to interrogate you one by one about who else formed a cabal like yours. Lie to me, and I’ll throw you back in. Tell me the truth, and maybe I won’t throw you back in. Any last words?"

"Please, spare me!" A young Awakened threw himself at Lith’s feet, sobbing. "I did know about the attack on your family, but I never planned to take part in any plan. My master brought me to that building."

He pointed at Zilma.

"I don’t know any of those people. I don’t know anything that might help you. I’m just an apprentice!"
