Chapter 4088
Exposed Secrets (Part 1)

The Indech’s aura of majesty—the force that had paralyzed the humans only moments earlier—faded away. Yet the awe remained. Fae, Emperor Beasts, undead, and humans all felt the same thing.

The Tiamat was nothing like them. Still, his power burned like a beacon, cutting through the darkness that clouded their ambitions and dreams of strength.

“This is it. I’m done.” Lith said, reverting to his Indech form as the elemental power ebbed and he returned to just two pairs of wings. “Anyone who wants to examine an Indech’s life force, step forward.
