Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2474

"Wait, this makes no sense." Solus drummed her lips with a finger. "We fused a few times in the past yet Lith's condition never improved."

"Please!" The Mother scoffed. "The first time it happened he was still healthy. The second you lacked the energy to conjure the tower. As for the time you fought against Dawn, it was cut short and part of the mana geyser was already drained by her experiments.

"This time instead, not only did you have a powerful geyser all for yourselves, but also the fusion lasted for a long while. In a way, fighting against worthy enemies was a blessing in disguise and so was your inability to split.

"Had I known it, I would have forced you two to remain fused until Lith was fully healed."

"What about my life span?" Lith asked.

"Same as before, I'm afraid." Baba Yaga patted his shoulder. "Healing can't make up for the essence you've lost but at least it will make it more difficult for you to lose more. If you are careful, of course.

"That's why I want you to stay put until you go to Salaark. Maybe she can tap into the lingering energy of the fusion to further heal you or restore your life force. I'm a great healer, but Salaark's power and expertise eclipse mine."

Lith was both pissed off for splitting the fusion too quickly and happy for the good news. Then, he remembered the risks that such an intimate union might entail and only happiness remained.

"Thank you, Baba Yaga." He shook her hand while also asking her via a mind link if his worries were reasonable.

'I didn't think of that.' She replied. 'Honestly, I have no idea, but if I have to guess I'd say it's possible.'

"Thank you, Malyshka." Solus hugged her friend while slowly conjuring the world energy for a Tower Warp in order to not put any strain on the tower or Lith. "Do you want to come along?"

"I'd love to, but I can't leave my home behind nor my children unattended. You go first, I'll be there in a few minutes tops. Just be a dear and warn Salaark of my arrival or her nest will give me a Primordial Flames kind of warm welcome."

Baba Yaga hated to admit that despite the passing of time and her constant upgrades to her tower, it was still inferior to Menadion's. Reaching the Desert was going to take Solus a second whereas Baba Yaga would need minutes and a clear path.

"Good point." While Solus waited for the tower to power up, she called the Overlord to announce their arrival and ask for her help.

"This is wonderful news." Salaark jumped on her feet, interrupting the theatrical performance she had been watching with Shargein and Valeron the Second.

The small Wyrmlings clapped their hands, having no idea what was happening and mimicking their mother's behavior every time the actors stopped.

"I'll ready my medical facility and bring your family along. They have the right to enjoy this happy moment with you."

"Actually, I think it would be better to wait." Lith replied. "The moment they know what happened, they'll pester me with questions and they will worry like crazy. If we call them after you are done treating me, when my condition has stabilized, we can reassure them that everything is okay."

"As you wish." The Overlord hung up the call and dismissed the theatre troupe. "And another of my evenings goes down the gutter. Why doesn't Lith just join my nest so we get over with this once and for all?"

Shargein smiled at her, emitting a chirping sound in reply.
