"Don't be." Strider rushed to Unanna's side, making sure that his wounds weren't lethal. "Losing Limbell's knowledge is a tough blow for the Council but I think it's for the best. His disciple was deranged and unworthy of trust.

"Your mistake saved us a lot of future trouble." The Naga was in a critical condition but since he was still alive and his core was intact, it took the Zouwu only a few breaths to stabilize his friend.

"I'll write in my report that it happened in the chaos of battle and that there's no way to know who dealt the death blow. Everyone agrees?" Cheers welcomed the proposal and Unanna gave him a thumbs up from the only hand that already worked.

"My only regret is that the bastard didn't suffer enough." The Naga coughed out the blood obstructing his lungs. New n0vel chapters are published on

"Thank you, guys." Bytra had a hard time acting casual and holding her impatience back. "Great plan, Solus. It worked like a charm."

"No, thanks to you, guys." She replied with a warm smile. "Without your help, I couldn't have stayed safe out of the fight and understood how his powers worked. Also, I had the idea, but you made it work."

"Yeah." Lith lied through his teeth. "I'm not going to lie, that mutated Redcap was terrifying. He could anticipate our movements and spells like it was nothing. I'm happy he won't ever sire more like him."

With that, he had justified Maergron's mysterious abilities and hidden the existence of the Ears.

"Too bad I had to destroy his device." Zoreth sighed, following his lead and pointing at the throne. "I would have loved to know how this thing could read the flow of world energy but there's no telling how many of us would have died if I didn't destroy it."

"Again, sad but an acceptable loss." Strider said. "I want to apologize to you guys. I treated you like shit from the beginning yet if not for your assistance my companions and I would have died at the entrance of the Garden.

"Thanks for saving my ass and taking my head out of it." The Zouwu bent down, picking the Ears from where it had fallen. "I guess this is yours, Supreme Magus Verhen."

He threw the helmet in a lob shot that Lith caught.

"You are welcome." Lith studied the Ears with fake indifference. "You know what, this would look bad on me. It's yours, Solus."

Luckily, a bright blue Awakened's body was sturdy and everything had happened so quickly that Rutha's core had yet to start to fade.

"I don't know, but you have my word that I'm going to find them and I'm going to kill them." Lith held Solus' hand, glad to see the glaze disappear from her eyes and be replaced by light.

"And I'm going to help you, lil bro." Zoreth was fuming. Literally.

Steam rose from her incandescent skin and black smoke came out of her nostrils as the fire of her rage threatened to consume her.

"I don't know or care who those guys are. I'm going to use everything the Organization has to find them and when I do, I'll make them regret to have been ever born."

The Chroniclers of the World Tree collapsed the space behind their Steps and then relaxed it. It was a method to make dimensional corridors untraceable that the Yggdrasil had learned from one of the best Dimensional Mages in Mogar's history.

'Well done.' The World Tree said. 'Now that we have the Ears as bait, there is only one more step of my plan left.'

'With all due respect, my Liege, wouldn't have been easier dealing with them here and now?' Ghal V'horr asked while pointing at the other black-clad Chroniclers. 'We could have just taken the girl after killing the others and brought her to you.'

They all wore Darwen suits that made them invisible to everything but regular sight and there were twenty of them. The rule was for one Chronicler per mission. Three when trouble was expected and five to deal with multiple Divine Beasts.

Never before had so many Chroniclers been assembled and nothing on Mogar could stop such a force. With the advantage of surprise, there was no way they could lose.

V'horr was confident even against the Suneater under such circumstances.

'Fool, do you really think that Verhen would have let you get away that easily? That he would just sit there and let you use a Removal Unit? What if they fused? What if the ambush failed?' The World Tree replied.

'I know how every major force on Moagr thinks. How they will act. Every force but those accursed hybrids.'

Memories of Tezka's last raid on the Yggdrasil's Fringe sent a shudder down his colossal trunk. The Fylgja had got in, taken what he wanted, and left.
