Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1815

Chapter 1815: Void and Undeath (Part 1)

"l recently manifested a new power that almost further damaged my l ife force and l have no idea how it's possible. Also, even though I've u sed Accumulation for quite some time and feel ready for the b reakthrough, it never happens.

"What's wrong with me?" Lith asked.

The Red Mother stood on her tiptoes, taking his face between her h ands and forcing him to stoop. Lith and the rest of the guests held t heir breath, thinking that she was about to kiss him but she just used h er breathing technique, Sun and Moon.

Under the in?ux of her energy, his ?ve hidden eyes opened one after a nother while his body shapeshifted back and forth from human to Tiamat.

"Wonderful!" Once she was done, Baba Yaga‘s lips brie?y touched his f orehead and his body stabilized again into its human form.

"Care to elaborate?" Lith asked.

"You are right. You are close to a breakthrough and that's why your p ower manifested. Yet your body and core are still too weak to bear t he burden of the Call of the Void. Don't use it again unless your life is a t risk." She replied.

"I will, but why no breakthrough? My body is stronger than ever, l h ave no impurities, and my mana core is bursting with power." Lith s aid.

"This might come hard to accept, but I don't think that your problem l ies in how much energy you accumulate. You are not a normal Awakened, but a new form of life entirely.

“Necromancy, the art that l spent my life perfecting, is about fooling d eath to preserve life. Even though they are called undead, no one of m y Firstborns ever died. Higher Necromancy, like the spell that gave b irth to Nyka, breathed new life in her but in a form of Kalla's c hoosing and at the cost of everything she was.

"Your power, instead, comes from death overcoming life. You didn't l ose anything. You are pure entropy that has turned into order by i tself. Unlike a Necromancer, you don't conjure souls.

"They answer your call, their rage resonating with the Void that r esides where your heart is supposed to be. Yet such power still d epends too much on your Abomination side, throwing your life force o ut of balance and bringing you harm.

“You must get rid of the shackles that bind you. It's the only way to m ake the Chaos within you fully integrate with the rest of your life f orce. Until that moment, always remember that the Void is your e nemy as much as it is your ally." Baba Yaga said.

Lith knew that she wasn't vague to piss him off but because cryptic w ords were all that she could tell him without the risk of making him s tray from the right path. The Red Mother couldn't choose the way f or him, only give him hints that would help him to recognize it in due t ime.

"Thank you.“ Lith gave her a small bow and went to mingle with the o ther guests to ?nally relax.

"Can I offer you a drink?" Aerth offered the Red Mother a ?ute of wine t he moment Lith left.

"Cheeky brat." She giggled. "Do you have any idea how old I am?"

“No, but after living for 700 years I'm tired of foolish girls and ?nd w ise women much more charming.“ He replied, offering her his arm t hat she took.

"That son of a bitch ditched you without a second thought!"

Silverwing said in amazement before realizing her blunder and turning t o Salaark. "No offense.“

"None taken." The Guardian chuckled.

"I can't wait to see his face when he realizes that she's the same Malyshka that was hanging out with you back when you and Aerth w ere together." Silverwing said to Solus.
