Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4458

Chapter 4458: Different Roles, Different Rules (Part 2)

’Verhen turned what was supposed to be an Elder’s explanation of how the Awakened Council conducts its business to a young runt into the confession of an arrogant, dumb criminal.’ Ankhuta inwardly snarled.

’I can’t talk my way out of this anymore. I can only fight. And the worst part is that Verhen also got Faluel involved not as the Beast Lord of Distar, but as an heir of the Nyxdra Household.

’If we so much as hurt Faluel, her mother won’t give a damn about our reasons or what role her daughter played during the fight. Fyrwal will likely demand my head and those of everyone who hurt Faluel.

’If the Isharas refuse her request, then she’ll have an excellent reason to declare us her sworn enemies and kick us out of the bloodline awakening project! I can’t have that happening.’

"I’m not going to fight you, Lady Faluel, but I’m not going to turn myself in either." The Elder Divine Beast released a bolt of silver lightning, empowering himself and his equipment. "Blood of Selkis, teach these weaklings a lesson!"

The Isharas followed his order and released bursts of Life Maelstrom, overwhelming Lith and Faluel with their mere numbers and the intensity of their aura.

"This doesn’t look good." The Hydra said as Lith imbued her with Vital Storm. "Please, tell me you have a plan."

"I do." Lith activated the Full Guard spell of his armor, spreading a vast bright violet aura that would hide the energy signatures of the Eyes and Ears of Menadion.

At the same time, he pressed the emergency rune on his wrist guard. A jet stream of Void Flames struck one of the Isharas in the outer ring of the encirclement in the back, stripping her of the power of the silver lightning.

A blast of Blight Flames hit the Ishara a heartbeat later and set her mana ablaze. While everyone looked around to locate the source of the sneak attack and the burning Ishara tried to save her life, Tista hit her at Dragonspeed.

The two Divine Beasts crash-landed like a meteor, and Firefang’s claws caught the Ishara on the rebound, doubling their destructive power. The Adamant blades severed the Ishara’s head and punched a hole through her heart, killing her on the spot.

"House Verhen answers the call!" The Hekate roared before throwing herself into the fray.

’We can’t kill Verhen because we need him yet, and we can’t kill his sister either!’ Ankhuta inwardly cursed. ’If she dies, he’ll be the one to have justification to kill us on sight and ask anyone interested in his bloodline to give him a hand.’

"Beat them an inch from their lives!" He actually said with mad fury.

The death of every stable Ishara bloodline was a terrible loss for his clan. The Elder had been entrusted with the Distar Region to avoid trouble with the locals and ensure that everything went smoothly.

After exposing the Isharas’ agenda and losing two promising youths, Ankhuta knew that his future was at stake even if he won the battle.

The clan leader wouldn’t kill him outright because Ankhuta still had a long life ahead of him and could produce many offspring. Yet no one in the clan would hesitate to sacrifice Ankhuta if it meant appeasing the Royals’ wrath and preventing more senseless deaths.

Two Isharas came at Tista from opposite sides, and she hurled a twin jet of True and Frozen Flames that they easily dodged. Only when they were too close to dodge did she unleash a burst of Void Flames from each battle claw.
