Chapter 1070 Life Maelstrom Part 2

"What about you?" He said.

"What do you mean?" Solus loved to speak instead of using their mind link. It made her feel normal and allowed her to hear the sound of their voices.

"Are you angry with me as well? First, I kept you a secret from the entirety of Mogar and now I leave you alone a lot. On top of that, I used you as an excuse to justify my actions after Phloria broke up with me." Lith said.

"A bit, but not for the reasons you think." Solus replied.

"I’m happy you finally made me part of the group and I understand why it took you so long. Now I realize how naïve I was in the past and how meeting a paranoid, cynical man was the best thing that could happen to me.

"A normal child would have never been able to keep the secret, dooming the both of us to become victims of unspeakable experiments. Another mage, instead, would have either enslaved me or forced me to become like Dawn.

"Even when you still didn’t trust me, you always treated me with respect because you know the pain of being stranded amid a hostile world. Thanks to our bond, I experienced Mogar, growing and healing alongside you." Solus held his hand while never averting her gaze from the waning moon above them.

"I must admit that, at first, I was angry and jealous of you spending so much time alone with Kamila. Over time, however, it helped me put things in the right perspective. Like Tista told me for years, I needed to get a life of my own.

"For a long time, I couldn’t even imagine my life without you." Solus suddenly blushed, then turned pale and rushed to say:

"Don’t get me wrong, I still can’t. What I mean is that before I considered myself more like another of your limbs rather than a person. The time we spent apart helped me to grow, both as a woman and as a tower." She brought his hand to her face as if she was expecting to be caressed.

"Use Invigoration on me and avoid checking me out with the excuse of a diagnosis." She chuckled.

Lith had used his breathing technique on Solus many times in the past, yet none of it prepared him for what he saw. Inside her humanoid form, it was possible to distinguish the outline of organs, veins, and bones.

Yet, more importantly, he could see a second core inside her body. It was different from everything he had encountered in all his life. The second core resembled a golem’s power core, but it was complex beyond what Lith’s mind could conceive.

It was both small and hazy, making it hard to properly distinguish its features or the complex network of runes that surrounded it like several asteroid belts, but Lith could sense the power core getting stronger by the second.

"You never had a second core. When did it manifest’" Lith asked.

"A bit after I obtained my energy body. Please, now focus on my human core." Solus replied.

At first, Lith didn’t understand her request. Solus’s deep cyan core looked no different from all those he had examined in the past, at least until he used Invigoration to look at it real close.

"Remaining at your finger nurtures my human core, of which I was in desperate need after almost dying of starvation. Yet it’s by tapping into a mana geyser that I can nurture my tower core back to its full strength. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
