Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1936

As the light grew in intensity, a quick glance at the tower revealed that the building was sucking in tons of sands to convert them into two new floors. The reconstruction process didn't make a sound yet it was clear that Solus was having a breakthrough.

They had never witnessed one because for a long time she hadn't had a body. On top of that, usually Solus' breakthroughs took place when she was in her ring form or asleep.

Except for the few vacations that Lith allowed himself, Solus spent most of her time away from geysers.

Now, however, between his violet core and the constant feeding that the tower received while either at the palace or the beach, she had reached the next stage while in her human form.

The blue light coming from Solus didn't form a pillar, didn't cause the ground to quake, nor did her body expel any impurity. The body that the tower gave her was identical to the one she had 700 years ago.

It was a perfect vessel for a bright violet mana core, with no impurities or imperfections. The only thing it lacked was the energy necessary to fill her core and body. Without it, she was no different from a blue-cored Awakened.

A blue cored Awakened with the mass and the bloodline abilities of a mage tower, of course.

"Two new floors?" Lith said in awe.

"And two more in the basement." Solus nodded. "I mean, it was pretty obvious that the more I progress the more floors I will get. The tower at its prime was enormous and I've only got four more breakthroughs before we are both fixed."

"Let's go I can't wait to see-" Lith jumped on his feet but Solus remained where she was, glaring at him.

"It's still our honeymoon." Kamila said, glaring as well. "We made a promise about no work and no magic, remember?"

"Tell him, honey." Solus said, making the corners of Kamila's mouth almost turn up in a smile and her angry voice in a peal of laughter.

Almost.

"But, part-time work." He stuttered. "You will work in the afternoon. Why can't I?"

"We already worked this morning and we'll be away until dinner as well." Solus said. "Kamila already made an exception for my sake and we are going to leave in less than one hour.

"I'm not going to waste my time giving you a tour of the new floors. I need rest before I face Bytra again." Solus used a partial mind fusion to give him all the information she had recovered about the new floors.

"Besides, my body needs time to adapt to its new state and fill itself with world energy. I bet that now I can keep my human form longer, but only if rest if I recover my mental strength." She put her head back on Kamila's lap and fell asleep before either of them could reply.

Lith sighed and raised his hands in surrender. He knew that two against one was a battle he couldn't win.

After lunch, they met back at the geyser with Bytra and Zoreth. They repeated the stranded merchants trick a few times, moving further and further away from the border with Garlen.

Solus even joined them a couple of times to experience the life in Verendi in person. She shapeshifted into a Desert woman with waist-long black hair and deep bronze skin. Solus pretended to be Zoreth's wife while Bytra kept acting as Lith's.
