Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1846

Chapter 1846: The Mask Falls (Part 2)

Trion remembered how coldly he had treated his parents after they disowned his beloved older brother. He had lashed out at them despite what Orpal had done to Lith and his last-ditch effort to implicate Trion in the murder attempt.

Later, Trion had chosen to abandon his family and cut ties with them out of envy for Lith. He had discarded their family name, and refused all of Elina's letters and calls. Yet here she was, still mourning his death after over one year.

Elina's joy at his sight, the warm tears she had shed when she had learned the truth about his demise, and the worried look in her eyes while he fought, let Trion understand that she still loved him no less than Lith or Solus.

'l'm the worst son on Mogar, second only to Orpal.‘ He gritted his teeth as his fury and hatred, even the self—hatred, gave him access to the innate powers of his Demon body.

"Protect Mom. I'll do the rest." Trion said, taking the blades into his body and accepting the pain they brought him as a punishment he believed to deserve.

The Thralls struck at his vitals, yet he had none.

They had a vague idea of what a Demon was so they retreated after every attack, saving the limited undead energy stored in their blood cores to boost their physiques and fuel their deadly skills.

Trion charged at them like a mad beast and soon was covered in wounds. Driven by agony and fury, he breathed a blast of Void Flames that was easily dodged by the many Thralls crowding the room.

Just like he intended.

The mind link that Lith had granted Trion also gave him access to the contingency plans that he had devised during the talk with Orpal.

Each Sealed Space spell contained only a limited amount of world energy, limiting the Void Flame's power.

After apparently missing its target, the black ?re attacked the borders of the nearest Sealed Space, piercing through it and then attacking the adjacent one. The moment the second border collapsed as well,

the Void Flames gained access to the world energy it contained.

Akin to a backdraft effect, the fresh oxygen and world energy invigorated the black ?re that became strong enough to pierce a third Sealed Space. Then, a fourth and a ?fth, until the blast of Void Flames created a small but de?nite tunnel with the outside world.

At the same time, a couple of Thralls dodged Trion's Flames and claws, but they ended up too close to his upside—down wings. The hand-like limbs wrapped themselves around their prey, activating Abomination Touch.

The Thralls fought like trapped lions, but trapped nonetheless. The Chaos inside Trion's body consumed their life, their mana, and even their blood cores, adding their strength to the Demon's.

Meanwhile, above Lutia and many other cities of the Griffon Kingdom,

the gruesome show had caught up by fast—forwarding the recorded part and was now being broadcasted live.

Orpal had been careful recording everything from the moment of his arrival, in the hope that Lith would hesitate to turn down his offer,

giving the Dead King the opportunity to brand his brother as a traitor.

Yet the images only boosted his reputation as he defended his family and village, without even considering Orpal's offer.

At least until Trion appeared.

The Demon came from Lith's shadow and still retained enough of his original appearance for his colleagues to recognize Trion. The revelation about his death shocked his friends, but scared to death anyone with more brains than feelings.

Lith's ability to summon the dead who still retained their memories was more terrifying than any war. It meant that none of their secrets was safe if even one passing soul witnessed them.
