Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2497

2497 Three Years Ago (Part 1)

By the way, where's Kami?' Solus checked the pocket watch, noticing that the Constable shift was supposed to be over for a while now. I'm surprised she has yet to come here and drag your ass home!

"At the Ernas household: Lith replied.

To help with Quylla's marriage preparations?"

"No, to beat the crap out of Orion and blow off some steam. Lith replied.

"Wait, what?" Solus blurted out in surprise.

Ernas Mansion, at the same time.

"Gods if I needed this. Kamila said with a relaxed smile on her face. "Thank you for replacing Jirni as my sparring partner, Orion."

"The pleasure is all mine. He replied while dodging a kick to his shin followed by an elbow strike.

Kamila kept her Voidfeather armor's settings on defense so that the Adamant wouldn't affect the heaviness of her blows nor further boost her physical prowess. She was already using her full might combined with fusion magic.

Any more and even with the protection of his armor Orion might have suffered a real wound.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Zinya watched the sparring session with bathed breath.

"Yes, don't worry? Jirni patted her hands. "My husband limits himself to defensive maneuvers. He won't land a single blow, Usually, I'd be the one with your sister on the mat, but at my age pregnancy is risky and I can't take any chance

"I see. Zinya needed sheer willpower to not twist her face in envy.

Jirni is ten years older than me, yet she still can have another baby. Gods, why have you forsaken me?"

The truth, however, was that Jirni couldn't afford to spar with anyone without them noticing how stronger she had become due to her poor control over Awakening. Orion, instead, could still mask his prowess behind the abyssal gap in combat experience with Kamila.

He needed someone who could push him on the ropes even when he used fusion magic to temper his body. He fought while pretending to use the body-enhancing features of his armor while he was actually learning how to adjust his fighting style to the different effects of fusion magic.

He was getting used to triggering earth fusion to soften the blows, darkness fusion to limit the pain, and air fusion to be faster. Two elements were his limit so he had to conjure earth fusion only when he was about to get hit.

Kamila was the perfect sparring partner. Strong and fast enough to challenge him but also too inexperienced and unfamiliar with his skill level to notice that he was learning from her more than she was learning from him.

The match lasted until Orion ran out of energy.

Elysia provided Kamila with the equivalent of a weak but constant breathing technique, making it hard for her to get tired. Orion, instead, was mentally exhausted from using magic for a prolonged time and physically sore from the elemental flow.

His joints and muscles were still those of a man over forty years old and the strain from the effects of fusion magic made them ache.
