Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2225

"This is the reason Apep and I are collaborating to find a way to reach the white by studying his condition." Inxialot said.

The Guardians exchanged a worried look but said nothing.

"Were we to succeed, I would finally be strong enough to tell my mother off while Apep would get back to life and get rid of his madness. Hopefully." The Lich King said, making the Apophis snarl.

"Wait a second. Are you telling me that you built a lab on the moon and brought an Eldritch here just to give your mother the finger?" Lith was flabbergasted.

"It's the noblest endeavor, I know." Inxialot nodded. "You have no idea how hard it is for an old, bitter, lonely woman who fills her life with cats to let go of her beautiful baby boy."

"Again, I'm right here, you damn son of a bastard." Aylen snarled in his ear. "Have you gone blind on top of mad?"

"We are both immortal and powerful so the only way I have to not be afraid of her any- I mean, to leave the nest is to become stronger than her." Once again, her words fell on deaf ears.

"Let me guess. You asked me to come here to study my life force and see if you can find a clue about how to mix living tissues with those of an Abomination since you have no idea how your phylactery will react with your future black core." Lith said.

"That's brilliant!" The Lich King gasped in amazement. "After all, you are the only Abomination who managed to truly resurrect. This is much better than the reason I invited you here."

"Wait, what?" Lith said, taking the words out of everyone's mind.

Even the Guardians were taken aback in confusion.

"Actually, I need your help with a very personal and embarrassing matter, Lith. You see, in the past few years, I've been thinking and forgetting about asking Raagu out. A while ago, when I finally made my move, she didn't even notice.

"I'm afraid that I'm doing something wrong or that my people skills have gotten rusty." Inxialot said.

"Knowing you, it's both." Aylen clicked her tongue, receiving several meows of approval.

"You are the greatest expert I know about seduction, Lith, and I'd like you to help me." The Lich King glared at his mother but ignored her nonetheless.

"Me?" Lith pointed at himself with a shocked expression. "Why not ask a Banshee or something? I've had a few flings, but my actual relationships amount to two."

"No need to be coy with me. I did my homework and I know that not only have you successfully seduced all kinds of women, but you also managed to remain friends with all of them." Inxialot patted Lith's shoulders in admiration.

"Banshees leave a trail of broken hearts and corpses whereas you kept them friendly and ready for the picking."

"You did?" Kamila frowned at Lith for a second, but sensing that Solus seemed oblivious of whatever the Lich was talking about, she was more confused than angry.

"Of course he did, my lady. He's a real player!" At a snap of Inxialot's finger, the arrays of his home projected a hologram of Lith's past flings.

Then, of the three Ernas sisters and Jirni. Then Feela, Faluel, Sinmara, Salaark, and even Tyris. Last, but not least, Solus, Tista and Elina.

At that point, Lith understood why the Lich had looked funny at him and Leegaain earlier. At the same time, Kamila and Salaark were having a good laugh at his expense and so did Solus, but from inside her ring.

The Father of All Dragons seemed annoyed but he didn't say anything. Lith, instead, slapped his forehead in great irritation.

"That's my mother, you jackass! How dare you spread such rumors?" He pointed at Elina's still lingering hologram in fury.
