Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2581

2581 Frail Alliance (Part 1)

'Sorry, but no.'Solus shuddered at the thought. 'I like Bytra and I have no problem spending a bit of time with her when she comes to visit Kami and the baby. Yet studying under her would take hours every day.

'Even though I know she's literally not the same person who killed my mother and me, she wears the same face and has the same voice. It still creeps me out more than I'd like to admit.'

"Yes, that's just my preliminary analysis." Bytra replied, snapping Lith and Solus out of their private conversation. "And before you ask, the answer is no. I can't replicate the Harmonizers, not even if by a miracle we get rid of all those annoying cloaking runes.

"During my first life, I wasn't much of a Healer so my knowledge about Body Sculpting was limited to shapeshifting. After turning into an Abomination, I practiced light magic for all the wrong reasons and I have regained my body only for a while.

"I have yet to get up to speed with all the modern Forgemastering techniques, let alone update my healing spell and study a new discipline from scratch."

"What would you need to do it?" Feela asked and Raagu nodded.

"The blueprints of the Harmonizer, for starters. Changing the disposition, order, and kind of runes after understanding how every single part works will be much easier than reverse engineering such a complex artifact bit by bit and putting it together with a trial-and-error procedure.

"Also, while I work on the Forgemastering part I need a Healer good enough to alter the Body Sculpting spell and explain to me in great detail the effects that it's going to have.

"This way, I can adjust my Forgemastery spells accordingly and choose runes that won't disrupt the alteration in the life force. Ideally, I would like to be partnered with someone who's both a good Healer and Forgemaster."

Everyone present stared at Lith but only a few of them seemed to like the idea."No offense, but Verhen is too young and his dealings with the Organization are shady at best." Feela said, receiving Raagu's and Syrah's approval although for entirely different reasons.

The human representative didn't like the fact that Lith had chosen Xenagrosh as his daughter's godmother. Also, she was afraid that once the probation period of the Organization ended and they become the sixth Awakened race in the Council, it would give him even more power and influence.

As for the Hati Queen, she simply hadn't forgotten about the slaughter of a few days ago and didn't feel comfortable putting her life in the hands of someone she only knew as a ruthless killer.

"I'd like to propose Lady Fyrwal and if she's not available, Faluel is the only one among us who has already experimented on the Harmonizers. The Hydra bloodline has given birth to excellent healers, is already acquainted with Zelex's senate, and is a trustworthy ally of Verhen, Eari, and the Council.

"All in favor?"

Everyone raised their hand, Lith included. Everyone but Bytra and Zoreth.

"I was actually thinking of the Master." Bytra said after receiving permission to speak. "As Xenagrosh said earlier, the Organization is interested in the Harmonizers as well. They might be the key to stabilizing the conflicting life forces of our members and allow us to Awaken again."

On paper, it was a good idea and it made perfect sense.

Her price was the pardon for herself and the other hybrids plus a seat in the Council, establishing the Eldritches as the sixth Awakened race on Mogar. _{freewebnøvel.com}
