Chapter 3893: More Than a Dragon (Part 2)

"I don’t know why or how the Master did it, only that he is only one step away from creating a new life form." Leegaain said. "If I put you back together, Hatchling, I would bear the responsibility of giving birth to something incredibly powerful and potentially unkillable.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes. It means that you wouldn’t let me go." Zoreth nodded. "You could not."

"Not without knowing why the Master is seeking this kind of power and ensuring that he can’t give it to himself and the rest of his hybrids after he studies your life force and reverse-engineers my technique." Leegaain said.

"Let me be crystal clear, pumpkin. I can and am willing to heal you, but only on one of the following conditions.

"Either you accept to come with me and stay in my lair like Thrud’s Generals until I understand the threat the Master poses and remove it, or you tell me everything you know about the Organization, its members, and its goals.

"If you choose the former, I’ll heal you immediately and bring you back home. You won’t be allowed to leave under any circumstances until I decide otherwise. I can arrange for Bytra and Lith to visit from time to time, but that’s it.

"If you choose the latter, you have to talk first. Once I confirm that you haven’t lied or omitted anything, I’ll heal you and you’ll be free to go. By then, the Organization will already be destroyed and most of its members dead.

"I’m going to spare only those like Bytra. The hybrids who have the clone as a base instead of the original Eldritch are mostly innocent and can be redeemed. They have lived just for a handful of years, and the few crimes they perpetrated were out of need, not malice.

"Everyone else, however, has to go. Especially the Master. I’ve seen his work and I can’t risk him starting another Organization."

"You would kill even Tezka?" Zoreth flinched at the thought of the pain that Filia and Frey would suffer from suddenly losing their father and best friend.

"If I can." Leegaain shrugged. "I doubt he’s going to let me do it without a fight, and the old fox is dangerous. I might spare him, but only because killing him would cause too many casualties.

"Even then, I’d demand Tezka to swear to keep being a nanny and not return to his old ways. If he agrees, then it’s much more convenient to keep him alive. Tezka knows many things that the rest of Mogar forgot, and with his help, I can salvage them."

"What if I choose neither?" Zoreth hated the idea of becoming a prisoner as much as she refused to betray her companions.

’I knew what this life entailed and that I might have died at any time.’ She thought. ’What happened to me is a consequence of my actions, and I won’t let the others pay for them.’

"Then you stay as you are." Leegaain replied. "You will be in pain until you die or someone finds a cure to your condition, but you will be free. I won’t interfere in your decision or stop Salaark from allowing visitors if that’s what she wants.

"This is her turf, after all. Not mine."

"Then the choice is easy to make, Dad." Zoreth clenched her teeth as her hands gripped the armrests and her back arched in a fit of pain. "I thank you for saving me, but I refuse your offer. Selling others to save myself is something the old me would do.

"I would never forgive myself if I did it, and neither would Bytra if I took away her new family. I won’t be your guest either. If I have to lose everything I have, I might as well lose it on my terms."

"I’m sorry, but I can’t." Lith shook his head. "The only thing keeping Zoreth alive is Solus’ Immortal Body array. I can’t let her get out of the tower, and I won’t reveal its existence to someone as dangerous as the Master. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
