Supreme Magus novel Chapter 258

After going back home, Lith finished preparing breakfast for everyone and used Invigoration to recover the energy spent by using the Warp Steps.

The procedure took place in his parents’ bedroom as soon as they finished eating. Lith had Solus take the form of a small disc that he placed over his mother’s belly.

"What is that thing?" Elina asked.

"It’s a focus. It will help me direct and control the magical energies." He lied in response. Solus’s core was weak and her mana capacity small, but she was able to use Invigoration as well.

Her role was to check Elina’s condition, using her own mana to fix any mistake Lith could make or at least buy enough time for him to stabilize his mother.

He also needed Tista’s presence, to use her as a blueprint. First, he blocked Elina’s abdomen pain receptors, then he destroyed the scar tissue causing infertility while reshaping the organ to make it resemble Tista’s healthy one.

It was the first time he attempted something like that, so it took Lith several hours to complete the procedure. When he finished, he was exhausted.

’Damn, ever since I burned part of my life force, I get tired faster than usual and my stamina has yet to completely recover.

’Using Invigoration on two people at once for imaging was more difficult than I thought, then I had to cut away the scar tissue one layer at the time to not cause too much damage.

’I also had to prevent her from losing too much blood or going into shock. Unlike when I cured Tista, I couldn’t immediately replace the destroyed tissue with a healthy one, since it was the excess tissue causing mom’s infertility.

I can only hope that everything is fine now.’

"Is it over?" Elina asked with watery eyes. Despite Lith’s precautions, she had experienced a burning sensation in her abdomen the whole time. The blood loss had made her dizzy from time to time, stopping only when Lith infused her with part of his life force.

"Yes." he used a clean towel to wipe the sweat from his face.

"Can I get up now? I really need to stretch my legs a bit."

"Not a chance."

Lith forced Elina to rest while he sat near her, checking her condition from time to time. Regrowing organs inside the human body was something he had practiced at the academy, but altering their shape by switching between darkness and light magic was another thing entirely.

He realized how big was the edge true magic gave him compared to normal healers. Unlike them, Lith was able to split a procedure into different steps instead of being forced to complete it in one go.

It had given him the time to share part of his life force with his mother when necessary and to lessen the strain on her body by taking a break from time to time. He also used those pauses to recover his strength with Invigoration.

The procedure had turned out to be much harder than predicted.

Using Invigoration on two people at the same time while exerting surgical precision magic was taxing for both the mind and the body. There were so many things to check at all times that he was sure he would have failed if not for true magic coupled with Solus’s help.

She had checked Elina’s physical condition at all times, allowing Lith to focus only on the procedure, and as a life force IV replacing most of the blood lost by herself. Only when she couldn’t keep up due to her low mana capacity, Solus had asked for Lith’s help.
