Chapter 1251 - Demons’ Horde (Part 1) (1/2)
”I'm sorry for never finding the courage to let you know the truth and relieve you from the burden of your secret. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here. You've always been there for me and yet I never told you how much you meant for me.
”I don't care about what you did or what you have become. I will always love you.” Carl said.
”Then I hope you'll understand why I have to do this.” Lith stepped back from the embrace, taking the chain connecting them and breaking it with a violent twist.
”Now that I know that you're safe and that you don't resent me, I can let you go. I don't want to drag you into the mess that my life is. You deserve peace, but I'm not done fighting.”
Carl was so shocked that by the time he managed to open his mouth, his body had already completely faded away, leaving his last words unspoken.
”Thanks for the clarity.” Lith gave Mogar a small bow and closed his eyes, making the Mindscape collapse under the weight of his will.
”What about your choice?” Mogar-Elina said while fading away.
The moment Lith's eyes opened again, he stopped resisting and let the tribulation happen.

Meanwhile, in the space between the two tidal waves he had created, Fenagar unleashed his Guardian tier spell, Mud Storm, at the gigantic Griffon-shaped plasma mass that was charging at him.
The water from the tidal waves formed a third one in front of the Leviathan, mixing it with ferromagnetic stones from the seabed and charging the water with a lightning storm.
Water magic would cool the plasma while the hypercharged magnetic field imbued within the earth magic would trap even Tyris's energy body. The Leviathan had made sure that Mud Storm matched Tyris in both electrical charge and power.
The repulsive effect made it impossible for the Griffon to phase through his spell. Tyris roared as the unstoppable force of her attack hit an unmovable object. Both her Lightning Body form and the Mud Storm crumbled, incapable of withstanding each other's power.
The clash caused shockwaves that in turn generated quakes and tidal waves despite the control that Fenagar exerted over the body of water around them. Garlen was too far to even notice them while Jiera took the worst of it.
”Shit!” The four remaining members of the Awakened Council said in unison. ”We have sent our strongest members to Kolga. How are we supposed to keep Jiera from being split into two with the people we have left?”
The coasts of the continent trembled with growing intensity while tidal waves tall enough to devastate the mainland for kilometers approached at uncanny speed. The Council alerted all of their cities and attempted to ask the other Guardians for help, but to no avail.
They were too focused on the show to bother themselves with such insignificant details.
Fenagar had exploited the moment Tyris had been forced back into her physical form to coil his huge body around her. It allowed him to restraint her movements and cripple her physical strength while he was free to attack from every side.
Fenagar's spells couldn't harm him and he had Tyris exactly where he wanted her. He let go of the tidal waves, making the ocean fell upon them and taking away her precious air element while he squeezed the life out of her by tightening his grip with every move she made.
