Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1668

Chapter 1668 - Source Of Power (Part 2)

All the members of the family were happy to see Lith and Solus again and asked them the details of the mission.

"I'm so glad nothing bad happened." Elina checked them both for injuries before hugging them. "Take the uniform off, dear. You are upsetting the guards."

Salaark's servants were used to seeing Lith in his Tiamat form while he wore desert clothes. Seeing a pale man dressed in the colors of the Kingdom made them nervous.

During dinner, Lith told them everything that had happened in Zeska. When he arrived at Solus's brilliant ruse to reach the City Hall, she kindly stomped his foot as a friendly reminder to not mention the fake pregnancy.

"What was that?" Rena asked after seeing a ripple in her wine and the chandeliers swinging.

"I don't know. There are no quakes in this part of the desert." Salaark had a hard time repressing a chuckle. "Please, go on."

At the part of the fight, Lith took a pause, asking the Guardian to send the servants away.

"You don't have to worry. They are all loyal and trustworthy." She said.

"Not to me." Lith replied "I want to keep this conversation as private as possible, Grandma."

"Fine. Everyone out." Lith had used the magic word, making Salaark's heart and feathers flutter.

A pair of wings popped out of her back, flapping with enthusiasm.

"Do you want me to leave as well?" Friya asked while putting her cutlery on the plate.

"You can stay." Lith shook his head. "I trust both you and Faluel. On top of that, if you really want to become her Harbinger, you need to hear the rest of the story."

Only once Salaark sealed every entrance with her magic did he tell them about the Void Flames, Captain Locrias, and about Quaron's abilities.

"I knew it!" The Overlord jumped from her seat and hugged him tight while kissing his head repeatedly. "You are not a lesser anything and this proves it."

The rest of the family didn't share her enthusiasm.

Based on what they knew, everything related to Chaos magic was bad news and they found the idea of Locrias' restless soul to be still with them beyond creepy.

"Can you show me?" Salaark had noticed that her feelings about his newfound powers didn't match Lith's family's, she just didn't care.

"Right here and now?" Lith was flabbergasted.

"Don't play coy with me, kid. You told me only because you have no idea how your bloodline abilities work and you want my advice." She replied with a sneer.

"Guilty as charged." Lith said under the reproachful looks of his family. "But I won't call upon Locrias. Disturbing his slumber for no reason would be plain cruel. Dead or not, he's still a person, not a tool."

"Fine." While the others softened their gazes, finding Lith's care noble, Salaark deemed it annoying.

She placed her hand on Lith's shoulder and activated her breathing technique, Mother Sun, to study the phenomenon to the best of her abilities.

Lith turned into his Tiamat form while retaining his human height, yet when he tried to breathe Void Flames, nothing happened. Moving the blackness that surrounded his life force into the stars that comprised it turned out to be quite difficult.

To make matters worse, he had never practiced shrinking his Voidfeather Dragon form so Salaark had to enlarge the tent. The kids loved Lith's new body, tugging at his feathers and scales while begging for a ride.
