The last of the morlatech bots fell to the ground completely unable to function. Trezlan hadn't even done anything, it was all Rem. The long haired unclean shaven man had simply walked near them and then flexed his hand, his magic eating ability did the rest. Trezlan had long suspected Morley's army was more than just machine and this confirmed it, though Rem did complain the mechanations had very little juice for his liking, which unsettled Trezlan yet again. All that remained was Valyrm, who was quite shocked to see the bots hit the ground.
"Impressive your depravity knows no bounds, signing on with a magic eater? Isn't that very much playing with fire for you Trezlan?" Trezlan smiled at the thought of burning Valrym alive.
"Rem here is about to eat you, where is my son?"
"Near by, I'm sad that you made me do this Trezlan, you just can't not be awful, can't you see that you're the real problem in this galaxy?"
"Rem kill this guy I don't even want to." Rem got a hungry look in his eyes and then nothing.
"I can't, he's not magic?"
"Correct, Trezlan is an idiot," Valrym drew a pistol and shot Rem, the bullet caught him in the shoulder and he hit the floor. He fired the rest of the ammunition at Trezlan, but Trezlan through up a fire shield and the bullets melted harmlessly in front of him.
"Just as well makes this harder on you, you little shit." Trezlan was about to unleash another torrent of fire when it felt like his insides were being ripped to shreds. He looked up to see Valrym stabbing himself.
"You know I never knew we had a link Trezlan, a remnant of your necromantic healing, like an open wound. And then one day you were having pain and I felt it, and I knew if I could harm myself, I could harm you, but I had to be within range of you, and that's how I'll kill you Trezlan, because you can't necromance your way out of me killing you." He had a smile on his face as he stabbed himself again. Trezlan was trying to think about what he could do, he could feel his life fading, he could in theory kill rem to heal himself, but if the link worked in reverse it would just heal Valrym as well. Trezlan was about to try that when Rem stood up next to him.
"You're not magical, that connection is." Trezlan never understood magic eaters, how they did what they did and what they got out of it. But he did understand necromancy and the bonds it made, so when he saw the magic eater break the bond by "eating" it, it released a torrent of energy. Pent up power from the latent connection between Trezlan Valrym bathed the room in a wash of latent power. Rem's bullet wound was healed, Valrym was annihilated. Years of benefiting from Trezlan's necromantic power had back flowed into him and destroyed the godling. Trezlan was about to ask how Rem was doing when Rolando called from the other room.
"If you idiots are done screwing around in there, we have a bigger problem."
"What could be bigger than someone wanting to kill me?" Trezlan didn't see Rem slip away, but he knew when he turned to look behind him, the magic eater would be gone, with whatever over dose he'd just gotten.
"An entire fleet of Morley warships are coming to vape the planet."
"Well shit you've got me son that is worse than what I just dealt with."
