Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2571

2571 Changed Man (Part 1)

Yet the shape of whatever Kamila was knitting was a bit weird and what Lith assumed was the neck of the baby carrier was way too big.

"Are you learning how to knit?" He asked, aiming for a soft topic before unloading his burden.

"Yes." Kamila nodded. "It's a great way to spend some time with your mother and keep my mind busy while I wait for your return. Time drags when I stare at the communication amulet for updates and I'm constantly terrified of seeing your rune disappear."

"I'm sorry for making you worry like this, but I did it for you and Elysia. If the monster hordes go unchecked, we'll end up like Jiera and the famine will be the least of our worries." Lith wrapped her in his arms, losing himself in her scent.

"There's nothing I would like more than spend the next five months taking care of you two, but to give you and our daughter a better world I need to fight."

"You don't have to apologize." She was actually annoyed at the idea of being smothered in affection by her overprotective husband for so long, but he was clearly upset so she just smiled. "I've seen the images of the aftermath. The people of the Kingdom are lucky to have you."

"It's not about that." Lith shook his head. "I've seen countless casualties in my life. Humans or monsters make no difference to me. They are both sentient beings I don't know nor do I care about."

"Then what's the issue, babe?" Kamila pulled back just enough to look him in the eyes without breaking the embrace.

"Do you have the stomach for a long and gruesome mind link?" He asked, receiving a nod in reply and then sharing with her everything that had happened after leaving Ne'sra.

Kamila was shocked to witness Lith's meeting with the Voidfeather and discover the next hurdle that her husband needed to overcome before he could achieve the bright violet core.

The Voidfeather wasn't violent like the Void, but it seemed to despise Lith no less than the Abomination side did at the moment of their first meeting.

Then, warm tears streaked her face as she witnessed what the children of Glemos had to endure in order to survive. The lies, the starvation, and the rites of passage.

Kamila couldn't hold her outrage at Lith's plan nor did she hide her reproach for the cruelty with which he had put it into action.

Lastly, he shared with her Morok's memories of his newfound little brother along with all the intense emotions that the encounter had triggered in both Lith and the Tyrant, each seeing themselves in the young Fomor.

It aroused her compassion for Lith but it also made his actions harder to accept. She stood up, cleaning everything up in order to suppress her emotions and avoid saying something that she would later regret.

Once her mind was clear and the bedroom tidy, she sat down next to Lith again.

"I'm really angry with you." Kamila's eyes were locked on him, burning with orange-yellow mana. "I'm not talking about the Voidfeather Dragon caring for Solus as much as for us. That will be a whole another conversation."

She touched her womb, trying to calm down the rage that she felt rising again.
