Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1235

Chapter 1235 - The Eye and the Hands (Part 1)

Instead of destroying them, the Plague Arrows turned the mages back into living beings by balancing the scales. At the same time, physical contact allowed the souls that haunted Grem and Xennon to unleash their fury.

The bodies of the two mages constantly rejuvenated themselves thanks to the mass that had been bestowed upon them at birth by the ritual. The life force and light element that coursed through them had been stolen as well and kept in check by the Forbidden Magic empowering Kolga’s sun.

The souls used the death energy flowing from the cracks in Lith’s life force to get ahold of what belonged to them now that the Plague Arrows had temporarily disrupted the effects of the ritual.

Lith could feel the shades begging him to grant them substance and he did. By infusing them with Spirit Magic, the souls turned into Demons of the Darkness who used their powers to retrieve all that Forbidden Magic had taken from them.

It was the stolen life force that granted the Kolgans their long life and the ability to feed upon foreign mana and light element, absorbing them as if they were their own. Without it, the two mages withered.

The very ritual that until a moment ago had empowered them, now filled them with poison.

Death made the corpses of the Kolgans disappear, but the Demons had yet to finish their job. They grabbed at the tendril that had connected Grem and Xennon to the Forbidden Sun, sucking it dry of any trace of their life essence that it still held.

For a moment, Lith saw his Demons turn respectively into a young merfolk and a Shyf (puma type magical beast). They gave him a deep bow before darting upwards in the form of two small spheres of light. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Despite the many questions he had about what had just happened, a single thought eclipsed them all.

’Good gods, Solus, are you alright? What did they do to you?’ Lith helped her to sit up on the stretcher and cupped her face, trying to calm her down.

’I think I’m fine. I didn’t let them do anything to me, but this stupid body doesn’t listen to my orders. Without your timely arrival, I don’t know if I would’ve managed to kill those guys without alarming the whole city.’

Once Invigoration confirmed Lith that nothing had happened to Solus’s life force and mana core, he sighed in relief, touching her forehead with his own. The moment they made contact, Lith felt the pain leaving his body while Solus’s mind found relief from the horrors she had witnessed.

’About that, how did you get your human form?’ He asked.

’Beats me. How did you open your fifth eye?’

’My what?’ Lith let her go and quickly conjured an ice mirror.

The reflection showed three more eyes shining on the face of his disguise. His regular eyes had turned red and black, those on his forehead were blue and white, while the new eye on his cheek was bright orange.

He could feel a pull at his conscience, similar to that he had experienced in Kulah, but hundreds of times stronger.

The more Lith looked at his face, the less he liked that situation. Thanks to Faluel’s teachings about the basics of Domination, it took him but a deep breath and some focus to close all the extra eyes.

’We don’t have time for this. We need to get away before someone stumbles in here.’ He turned around, finally noticing her condition. ’By the way, you look pretty... n.a.k.e.d. Wear something.’

’By my Mom, this isn’t how I pictured showing you my real body. Years of dreams and preparation just went down the gutter.’ Solus turned to a shade of purple and took her Scalewalker armor out of her pocket dimension.

’If it’s of any consolation, it’s close to how I pictured this moment when I was still a horny, single teenager. I expected it to happen sometime when we were alone in the tower, not in a death trap.’

’Gods, stop it.’ Solus knew about such fantasies through their past mind fusions, but hearing him say it made her turn even more purple.

’I guess my dumb act worked. I need to take her mind off whatever had happened in here. I don’t need a mind link to notice how scared and shaken she is. Solus is on the verge of a breakdown and before it happens, I need to bring her somewhere safe.’ He thought.

’Is the coast clear?’

’Yes. What took you so long?’ Tista replied.

’It’s a long story. Keep a Warp Steps leading to your apartment at the ready, we’re going to need it.’ Lith waited for his sister to give him the all clear before going back outside.
