Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1713

"You stole it from a museum?" Lith asked in surprise.

"As I said, Removal units are considered a failed branch of research. Its goal was to find a way to force the host and the cursed object to split, but it turned out to require more energy than a Royal artifact.

"As it is, a Removal unit is useless since no one is stupid enough to give a host to a cursed object just to free them. Also, it's much easier to kill a host rather than make them submit." The First Magus said.

Silverwing stood there for a few seconds, hoping that Elphyn would ask her what she could do in case she changed her mind or how to keep in touch, but Solus remained silent. She didn't trust Silverwing enough to share her communication rune, not with the risk of Silverwing using it to follow them.

On top of that, the First Magus' hostility towards Lith had been toned down, but it was still there. Solus worried that any request for help might be misunderstood as a subconscious call for help or second thought, making the white core into a powerful enemy that they had no chance to beat.

"Aunt Loka, do you know Malyshka?"? Solus said.

"Who?" The name sounded familiar, but not having heard it for centuries, it took Silverwing a few seconds to put a face to it. "Baba Yaga? Yes, why?"

"At first, she shared your same doubts about my relationship with Lith, but after examining us with her breathing technique, she changed her mind. Please, before your third surprise visit, talk with Malyshka.

"I hope that she can help you to understand that I need my dear aunt Loka, not a savior. There are many things that I would like to ask you about my parents and my forgotten past, but I can't let you in my life until I'm sure that you won't harm the people I love out of prejudice." Solus said.

"I'll keep that in mind." Silverwing nodded and left the tower, racking her brain about how to find Baba Yaga. The Blood Mother was hard to track since she had no communication amulet.

It was the reason why she created a powerful bond with her Firstborns so that they could contact or find her no matter how far she was. Unlike communication amulets, such a bond couldn't be used to track her.

"Oh, gods!" Lith collapsed on the nearest chair the moment the Sentries confirmed to him that the First Magus was nowhere to be found. "The Black Dragon was nothing compared to her. Tower or not, I didn't like my odds."

He was covered in a cold sweat and panted in exhaustion. Even though Lith hadn't thrown a single punch nor cast a spell, the mental pressure from Silverwing's hostility and from casting Tower tier spirit spell non-stop had taken a toll on him.

Phloria felt the need to sit down as well. An important piece of her heart had just withered, and now that the threat at hand was gone, sadness veiled her eyes with tears.

'I'm happy that nothing bad happened, just like I'm happy that all my doubts about the relationship between Lith and Solus have been cleared. There is no mind control on either side, they are just two people that really love each other.' She thought while staring at the stone wall in front of her.

'Yet it also means that there's no space between them for me. At least not a space I can bring myself to take without being consumed by doubts.'

Solus, instead, was too happy to notice anything. She hummed while carrying her father's painting around, trying to find the perfect spot to hang it.

"Faluel is probably going to kill us, but since we are already late, making her wait a few minutes longer won't change a thing. I'm going to take a quick shower." Lith smiled only for a second until those words jogged his memory. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

"Speaking of killing, Phloria, I still have to explain to you what Domination is."

'I don't know what's worse. If the fact that I'm relieved that nothing happened or that it takes them but a single thought to make the wall between them disappear. I understand now why Kamila broke up with him and in her shoes, I would have done the same.' She thought.
