Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3774

Chapter 3774: Wild Hunt (Part 1)

Protector the Skoll was no longer Lith’s friend or Faluel’s apprentice. He tapped into his true nature and became who he was meant to be.

"What are you talking about?" Kazam held his flaming hands out to keep the angry beast at bay. "Those are not your children."

That night, Emperor Beasts and Fae had one thing in common. Their survival instinct screamed at them not to cross the distance separating them from the Skoll. That they had to deal with him from a distance.

"Dad?" Jadon asked. "Is that really you? Did you come back to save us?"

Count Lark had often hoped to see his father again, but in his daydreams, he imagined that Trequill Lark would come back as one of Lith’s Demons. That his father would return from the grave to say to his children the goodbye that Orpal had denied them.

Not that the late Count Lark would return in the form of a massive wolf. Yet Protector had just called Jadon and Keyla his children, and Count Lark couldn’t find any other reason a beast would fight like that for them. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Yes, it’s me." Protector replied, hearing Leran’s voice instead of Jadon’s. "You stay put and cover your eyes. I don’t want you to see this."

"Yes, Dad." Keyla replied.

Dad was just a word, but hearing it sent Protector into a frenzy. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He disappeared from the pantry and reappeared in the middle of the room, floating in the air. Before the Upyrs could ask themselves how Protector could float while under the effect of Frost Soul, one of the Emperor Beasts collapsed to the ground, his head crushed into a pulp.

Then, a deep cut appeared in the net formed by the Fae’s vines, and another struck those the barrier was supposed to protect. A Fae still in her human form doubled over in pain, one of her arms missing.

’Don’t stand there like idiots, attack him!’ Kazam unleashed a jet stream of Fire Soul at the floating Skoll, but the bloodline ability phased through Protector like he wasn’t there. Because he wasn’t.

Ryman moved across the room too fast for the eyes to see, and his speed increased further as he got used to the golden lightning. What the Upyr saw and Full Guard spell perceived floating at the center of the room was just an afterimage created at the point he crossed more often.

A Titania felt something grazing her tendrils and swung her mace, but hit only air. Protector avoided the weapon as if it were still and blew the head of the Emperor Beast standing next to the Titania with a single strike.

’He’s going for the beasts!’ She warned her companions while the corpse had yet to reach the ground. ’He wants to whittle our numbers. Protect the beasts!’

The Fae spread their tendrils forward to catch the Skoll in midair and screamed in agony. Something had mowed down the vines, reducing them to sap-bleeding stumps.

’This isn’t a cut.’ A Redcap said. ’This is a bite. I can’t sense the missing parts of my body anywhere. The bastard is eating us alive!’

Keeping a human form allowed the Upyrs to infiltrate the Lark Mansion, but their mass was still the same. They were still Divine Beasts and weighed dozens of tons. A perfect, compressed meal for Life Eater.

With each bite Protector assimilated hundreds of kilos of extra mass and life force. What he could, he kept to himself to increase his mass and recover from his wounds.

The rest he sent to children, making their power soar.

’They are happy I’m out of danger, but they are still scared. My children are still scared of these bastards!’ The primal fury burning through his mind tapped into Protector’s dormant potential and brought it to the light.

’Let’s speed things up a bit more.’ In less than two seconds, Protector had launched dozens of attacks and gotten used to Wild Hunt, whereas his enemies were still trying to understand what was happening.
