Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4278

Chapter 4278: Venom Fang (Part 2)

After a few seconds, even those with no hair that could bristle felt the mass of accumulated mana pressed against their skin, no matter how distant from Bladerock Mound they were.

When Faluel couldn’t contain Venom Fang anymore, she shot the proto-Blade Spell above her head. It produced a pillar of energy that pierced through the clouds and cleared the night sky.

The light of the moon, the stars, and that released by Venom Fang lit Bladerock Mound as if it were under a giant spotlight compared to the darkness of the rest of the Jeghon Plains.

For a brief moment, the sun seemed to have appeared in the night sky. Its brilliance drove away the shadows and forced the people in the crowd to shield their eyes with their upper limbs.

Then, as the Blade Spell got further and further away, it became a second moon and then a small star that twinkled among the constellations for a few moments before disappearing in the blackness of space forever.

The undead called it a reverse nova, but anyone who had not lived long enough to see such a phenomenon to occur naturally called it a miracle.

"I’m sorry for the poor execution and delivery, but I got Gungnir just yesterday." Faluel said, making the Awakened either gasp or look at the priceless weapons they carried with them as if they were rotten garbage. "That’s all from me. Lith."

She stepped back, leaving the center stage to her former apprentice again.

"That’s the kind of Blade Weapon I make." Lith said. "I take no orders from anyone. If you want your own Blade Weapon, fetch me those who are plotting against my family.

"In case someone gets funny ideas, know that I always have my grandmother’s help when I interrogate my prisoners. You can’t just frame someone and get away with a free Blade Weapon."

The Liches booed him at the top of their magically amplified voices since their lungs were as dried up as the rest of their bodies.

It was actually a lie. Salaark refused to help Lith in his investigations and only allowed him access to her Pits of Agony. Yet her mind-reading abilities were well-known, and by mentioning them, Lith weeded out the potential false accusations.

"Hence, your prize will only be delivered after the confession if it proves that the prisoner was indeed conspiring against my family or me. Before accepting a prisoner, I’ll require you to share the circumstances that led you to suspect them with a mind link.

"If it turns out you’ve brought me an innocent, you’ll be blacklisted and lose the right to receive one of my Blade Weapons forever. Also, since I know many of you like to quibble, I’m interested only in those who can have the power and means to succeed.

"If a petty merchant is jealous of my father and tries to harm his business, their capture won’t earn you a Blade Weapon. The same applies if you catch some idiot trying to ruin my mother’s garden.

"Those are low-level threats I can deal with myself. So, don’t waste my and your time by bringing in the first fool you find badmouthing the Verhens."

More grumbles ensued as the Liches realized that getting themselves a Blade Weapon would take actual effort. Somehow, the Tiamat seemed to have inherited Salaark’s mind-reading abilities and had foiled their brilliant plans.

"That’s it. I have nothing more to say. Have a good hunt." Lith turned around and Warped back to his home, leaving the Divine Beasts, the nobles, and the members of the Council to discuss what they had just seen and heard.

Inxialot, the Lich King, was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He wanted nothing more than to go back to his lab and resume his research, yet he would forever regret wasting an opportunity like this.

Every person with a shred of social life had overheard a few drunken people envious of Lith discussing what they wished happened to him and what they would do to his family, given the chance. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
