Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2494

2494 Strain of Power (Part 2)

"Point taken, but look." Lith took Kamila's hands, using his breathing technique to check on the baby and a mind link to share with his wife his senses and expertise. Elysia was now over 8 centimeters (3,2) long. Her organs, limbs, and bones were present and developing how they were supposed to. Her life force and mana flow were weak but steady, just like her heartbeat.

Kamila clenched Lith's hands, shapeshifting her skin into scales as he did the same. Dragons could share their feelings through physical contact and Kamila had become reliant on that method to get reassured beyond what mere words could achieve.

She could feel Lith's love, calm, and confidence that everything was going well. Also, there was more to that. Elysia reacted to her mother's change and shapeshifted as well. Her face turned into a black slate and a small tail came out of her spine.

The baby was now covered in black scales smaller than a fish's and had pointed bony protuberances where her horns and wings would be. Kamila found Elysia to be no less beautiful in that form than as a human and was reassured feeling that Lith thought the same.

On top of that, the mix of scales and breathing technique allowed the baby to share her feelings as well. Elysia was serene, welcoming the sudden psychic presence of her parents with joy.

Even though she had no concept of love, she still felt it and returned it in spades. Kamila's heartbeat made Elisya feel safe while Lith's inner fire spread warmth through her small being. Also, she was happy to get the opportunity to complain.

Almost an entire hour had passed since her last meal and she was hungry,

"Thank you. I feel much better now" Kamila hugged him, but her grumbling stomach ruined the tenderness of the moment.

She bolted into the kitchen, using her claws to slice the bread, Origin Flames to instantly boil the water, and magic to prepare herself a meal. Kamila had just achieved the deep yellow core yet her magical prowess bordered on the bright green.

It reassured Lith that she would be safe when they were apart yet worried him for the future.

"What Kami is experiencing is no different from what happened to Duke: He thought. "The power and the skills that the pregnancy is bestowing upon her won't last forever.

"Sure, they are nothing compared to the White Griffon, but Duke experienced it for a few minutes whereas Kami has them for months. If she gets too used to these abilities, once she loses them it will be traumatic.

It's one of the reasons I don't want her to exert herself. Without Elysia, her strength and vigor will go back to being those of a normal woman'

During the following days, Lith and Solus would go back to Lutia right after finishing the Void Magic lessons and go straight to the tower after checking that everything was alright with their family.

Elina's pregnancy was at the same stage as Kamila's and much to Elina's relief, the morning sickness was gone and her baby was as fit as a fiddle as well. She was glowing something that Raaz reminded her of several times a day.

The renewed peace along with the serene work in the fields and the idea of becoming a father again made wonders for his mood. The trauma from Orpal's torture was still there, becoming more visible after sunset when the darkness brought him bad memories.

Yet he was fighting his inner demons one day at a time and practice made him better at keeping them in a corner of his mind.

Senton was working hard on himself and in the smithy yet he suffered every morning that Leria left for her magic pre-school in the Desert.

"What did you expect? Lith shrugged. "Creation Magic works the same way as Silverwing's spells. It requires combining elemental and Spirit Magic with arrays but also for a single mage to cast the spell and spend the necessary mana. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
