Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1944

Chapter 1944: Legacy Lesson (part 2)

‘They have no need of a mana geyser or a breathing technique to absorb massive amounts of energy. Because of this ability, they are known as living mage towers and I think there’s a lot you can learn from Theseus, Bytra.’ Vastor said.

Even though he wasn’t talking to them, Lith and Solus were part of the same mind link and heard everything. They both froze at the idea that Bytra might have her own tower on top of the Absolution.

Even worse, once the Fourth Ruler of the Flames learned how to make a mage tower, she was bound to make more for Vastor and for each one of the Abominations hybrids of the Organization.

‘Fuck me sideways. As long as we are in a friendly relationship with them there is no problem, but I fear the day something happens to Zinya or Vastor decides he’s fed up with the Kingdom.’ Lith thought.

‘I doubt there are many that even now can take his Organization head-on. Once they have mage towers, only Guardians might be able to stop them from doing whatever they want.’

‘I couldn’t agree more.’ Solus replied. ‘The idea of my mother’s killer becoming even more powerful scares to death, but what can we do? Zoreth is our friend and Vastor is even going an extra mile sharing his plans with you.

‘If you attack him now, not only will you feel like crap, but we are likely to die. His armor is made of Davross and even our powers combined dwarf in comparison with the three of them.’

Lith and Solus had no idea of the true power of an Eldritch and assumed that maybe they could take on one of them. Facing Bytra, Zoreth, and Vastor at the same time, however, was just suicide.

‘Lith, this will be a great lesson for you as well.’ The Master said via the mind link, snapping them out of their reverie. ‘This spell is part of my legacy and I entrust it to you in case something happens to me.

‘It’s called Harmonizer and is the secret of my success in merging two different life forces and cores. I planned to use it for Marth’s son and yours, if necessary. It would be a shame for the children of my best friends to become hybrids.

‘Thanks to Harmonizer, I’m confident that the human and plant life forces of Manohar Junior can be fused, giving birth to a new species.’

Those words hurt Lith more than any wound ever could, making his stomach churn.

‘What kind of asshole I am? While I plotted how to kill him, Vastor worried about me.’ He thought.

‘Now watch and learn. The procedure is very delicate and so far, it only works on Abominations because they are damn hard to kill. I doubt that a child might survive, but adult hybrids might.

‘As long as I draw breath, I’ll keep working on it. Where I fail, I know that you’ll carry my torch and make life better for everyone.’ The more Vastor said the more Lith felt like the scum of Mogar.

He pushed guilt and shame aside, focusing solely on the task at hand. Solus had already shared with him the Eyes of Menadion, allowing them to study both the spell and the Master’s breathing technique.

Its effects were similar to Faluel’s Lifestream, transmitting the details of Theseus’ life force to Bytra and Lith as well. Vastor could zoom in and out at will, even highlighting a segment if needed.

Lith felt like a medicine student watching a video of a surgery.
