Chapter 2051 Joining Forces (Part 1)

'There's no time for explanations.' The Tiamat said. 'My partner is a renowned genius tactician so you just follow her instructions and ask no questions. We are going to take down that thing.'

He pointed at one of Thrud's generals, Ophius the Quetzalcoatl. Just like the Thunderborne, it was one of the evolutionary paths that the Guardians had ignored. In this case, Leegaain and Fenagar.

The Quetzalcoatl resembled a long snake over 50 meters (165') long covered with sky blue feathers instead of scales and with a set of feathered wings coming out of the middle of his spine.

Like a Dragon, it was capable of natural flight, but since its forefather was actually a Leviathan, it had developed the ability to mix the water element from the world energy with his life force to conjure the Blood Tide bloodline ability.

The creature was the leader of a seven-men unit and was keeping the Awakened at bay thanks to his ability to manipulate arrays at will. Elemental sealing magical formations blocked everything but Spirit Magic the Council soldiers used whereas the Quetzalcoatl's allies could freely cast magic.

Every time that an Awakened tried to use a Disarray spell to remove the formations, Ophius only had to rearrange the runes that comprised them to neutralize the threat at hand.

'What makes you think that the three of us can do better than seven Council elders?' Crank liked a good challenge like any other Hyperion, but suicide missions were just stupid. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

All the gold on Mogar was pointless if he was too dead to spend it.

'We can't.' Lith replied. 'But that doesn't mean that we cannot turn the tables. How good is your mastery over the air element?'

'Not my favorite topic, but I can handle even natural lightning. Why do you ask?'

'Shut up and cover for me. The moment I give you the signal, you are in for a treat.' Lith's eyes turned golden while Solus' turned black as he shared with her his strategy.

'It should work, but it's very dangerous.' She replied. 'If anything goes wrong, we are screwed. Are you certain you want to do this instead of just biding our time like everyone else?'

'Damn sure because we are not everyone else. Your tribulation is still ongoing and there's no way I'm going to let you die just to save my skin.' The Tiamat replied in anger while glaring at the golden and white pillar that still enveloped her.

'Mogar doesn't care for excuses and whatever they want from you they won't settle for mediocrity.'

'I know.' Solus gently caressed a scale on his neck, moved by the heat that his worry for her produced. 'But if we don't take risks, at least you will be safe. There's no reason to put both our lives on the line.

'During your tribulations, even if you failed nothing would have happened to me. I would have just needed to find a new host.' She did her best to sound indifferent but just saying those words almost made her voice crack.

Almost.

'It's only fair that the same happens to me. There's no point in taking unnecessary risks. You have your family and Kamila waiting for you whereas I have no one. I-'
