Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1709

"I agree. Solus deserves a good life and even though I did everything I could for her, it didn't amount to much." Lith said, leaving everyone flabbergasted, especially Silverwing.

"Yet I'm not going to die just to let you have your way. I have still many things to do and I don't even know how much time I have left."

Lith had never forgotten about his cracked life force nor about his resurrection problem because every time that he allowed himself to relax, Death Vision reminded him of his condition.

Even now he could see Silverwing's body turning into ashes in a blaze of flames, being shattered to bits after being frozen, and disappearing after being hit by a Chaos spell.

The only thing that those visions had in common was that they all required three-quarters of her body to be destroyed at the same time.

"Last, but not least, I want it to be clear that I have never ever abused Solus as you keep implying. From time to time, I have been a rude jerk to her, just like I have been to anyone else, but that's it."

"Lucky you, I brought something that will tear apart all the convenient excuses you just used to cover your ass." Silverwing put on the table the smaller of the two items she had brought, taking away the wrap that blocked even the tower's mystical senses.

It turned out to be a wooden box engraved with silver runes of power. A blue mana crystal the size of a tennis ball was embedded on its lid, fueling a complex series of humming arrays carved on the surface of the box.

Lith and Solus had seen something similar once in the past. Solus when Nalear had used an almost identical artifact to sever their bond while Lith had seen it through her memories. They both became pale, jumping back to safety while conjuring Tower Spirit spells so powerful that the Trawn woods quaked.

"How can you be familiar with a Removal unit?" Silverwing didn't move nor flinch in front of their display of strength, yet she was impressed.

The combination of two mana cores instead of one with the tower's power core had brought the tower to new heights. On top of that, War, Reaver, and the Sage Staff stored in the Armory further boosted the spells.

The Sage Staff channeled the power of the mana geyser that exceeded the tower's capacity, Reaver allowed the tower to hold countless spells without burdening its masters while War increased their mastery over elemental energies and pure mana alike.

'The tower is far from completion yet it's already this strong.' Silverwing thought. 'I wonder what it would do in the hands of a bright violet core or maybe even a white core. Maybe Baba Yaga is right. I should make a tower for myself.'

"What's a Removal unit?" Phloria asked to break the standstill since none of the two sides had moved a muscle for several seconds now.

"Child, ever since cursed objects were invented, mages searched for a way to separate the host from the parasite. A Removal unit is the answer to that problem." Silverwing replied.

"If such a thing exists, then why do Lost Cities still exist and why didn't the Kingdom use them against the Horsemen?" Phloria asked and the other two just nodded.

"Isn't it obvious?" Once it was evident that none of the three youths seemed to agree, the First Magus sighed at their ignorance. "As I said, it can remove the cursed object from its host, not destroy it.

"Most of them are plenty capable of defending themselves even without a physical body, just like the Black Star. Despite the best efforts of people like me, there is no way to cut off a cursed object from its energy source.

"She's saying the truth." Solus took several deep breaths to calm down. "Nalear couldn't kill you, so she had to beat you into submission before taking me away. I managed to escape from it even though I had barely a yellow core. _{freewebnøvel.com}
