Chapter 4109 – Majestic Form (Part 2)

“I don’t sense anything strange,” Protector said, sniffing the air like a hunting hound. “For what it’s worth, the scent of our marks doesn’t vanish here. It disappears at ground level—right where Friya detected the exit point of the Warp Steps.”

“How is that possible?” Solus asked through her bond with Lith. “How can three of us sense something that even the Eyes can’t detect?”

“Because you’re using the wrong tool,” Menadion replied. “The Eyes can be fooled by proper cloaking. But no enchantment exists that doesn’t disturb the flow of world energy. That’s why I created the Ears.”

“Fuck me sideways,” Lith muttered the moment he donned the helm. The tension in his thoughts radiated through the bond. “We need to leave without raising suspicion. Follow my lead.”

He shapeshifted into a Tiamat, sniffed the air several times, then circled the clearing as if confused. After a convincing performance, he pointed in a random direction and took off.

No one but Solus and Menadion understood what was happening, yet everyone had enough common sense not to question him.

Whatever scared Lith—Scourge—is probably worse for me, they all thought. Better clueless and alive than informed and dead.
