Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1986

Chapter 1986: Tower Core (Part 2)

"Without your lessons about Creation Magic, I wouldn't have ever learned how to switch light and darkness, let alone the other elements. If I ever become a Magus, it will be thanks to you. Consider this as my way to thank you and repay a part of my debt." Lith said.

The Guardian's eyes were veiled with tears. She wasn't used to gratitude, only to veneration or fear.

Those who Salaark bestowed power upon usually just demanded more while those she protected considered it the price that she had to pay in order to have their obedience.

She had chosen the way of the tyrant because centuries of experience had taught her that no good deed went unpunished.

Salaark knew that there was no real blood relationship between her and Lith, that his origin was part of one of Mogar's ploys. Yet there he was, ready to share his legacy with her like only her direct children did.

It was a gesture that touched her heart and made her feel like he really was one of her own.

"Thank you, but I can't accept it. This isn't only about you, but also about Solus. Ripha's legacy is all she has left of her mother and you can't make such a decision for her." Salaark's face remained stern as she returned the Mouth.

"Don't be silly, Grandma." Solus stepped forward, holding the Guardian's hands as well. "Lith would have never done something like this without my consent. I'm happy to share part of my mother's work with you.

"After regaining my human body, I wouldn't have been allowed to live in Lutia if not for the fake identity you fabricated for me. You taught me my mother's Mana Well technique, you have helped me to retrieve the memories of my past life and my father's works.

"Bytra may have given the Fury to me, but it was you who returned my mother's heirloom to me. Without you, it would just be a useless piece of metal with Bytra's imprint.

"On top of that, you updated and upgraded the Fury even though it wasn't part of your promise with Mom. You didn't do it because you wanted something in return, only because you cared about me.

"For everything you have done, not only for Lith and me, but for all our family, this is nothing. Besides, as Faluel always says, only an idiot never shares. I'm sorry I can't give you more, Grandma." Solus stood on her tiptoes to hug the Guardian and avoid her belly bump.

"You have done plenty enough, my child." Salaark let the tears stream from her eyes while she caressed Solus' soft hair.

They remained like that until Solus let go of the Guardian and Salaark focused her breathing technique, Mother Sun, on the Mouth of Menadion.

Contrary to Lith's expectations, it took her a while to study it and he remained shocked when he saw the Guardian focusing so much that she frowned.

'Fuck me sideways, I decided to share the Mouth with Grandma because she deserves to know about Menadion's secrets at least as much as Vastor does, but it seems that I'm the one who'll profit the most from this exchange.

'If the artifact is such a tough nut to crack for a millennia experienced Guardian, I bet that even with my bond with the tower it would have taken me months just to understand the basics.' He thought.

"I'm sorry, but you lost me." After Salaark, Faluel was the most expert Forgemaster, yet she had failed to understand a word. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
