Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2675

2675 From Ruin to War (Part 1)

As for your other question, Creation Magic requires darkness and light.' The Overlord said.

I'm exploiting your bond with War to alter its spell matrix without triggering Orion's defensive system and the natural affinities of you two to amplify the elemental flow.

Your eyes don't give you affinity toward light, Lith, just like Solus' hair doesn't give her affinity for darkness. They only unlock Domination that you wouldn't otherwise possess.

"I get you can access Lith's memories and manipulate his mana due to his Phoenix blood, but how can you do the same with me?'Solus asked. 'Is it because of our bond?'

"You are partially correct.' Salaark nodded. 'It's because of your bond that you carry Phoenix blood as well, Solus. It's the reason my Blood Imprint ability works on you too and I can use you as a medium for my spells.'

'What? How?' Lith and Solus asked in unison.

'It's actually obvious.' Salaark chuckled. 'Mogar gave Lith my blood and he gave it to you, Solus. For years you've fed upon his life force, using it to restore your own. It's like building a second house from the spare materials of the first.

"The final shape is different but the properties of the buildings are the same. Not to mention how, every time you two fuse, your life essences flow freely into one another, making the changes more significant.

One more question.' Lith asked. 'If you could do this at any time, why work so hard to recruit Orion when you could just steal his secrets?

'Do I look like a petty thief to you?' Her sudden frown and angry glare made him rush to give her an apologetic bow. 'I have no qualms about stealing from my enemies but I've never stolen from my colleagues.

'It's a matter of honor and respect. It's the reason I didn't force you to share your Trains and Tablets with me but I "borrowed" the blueprints from the Royals. Taking from you would have been bullying. Taking from them is espionage.'

"That's some strawman logic. Solus was flabbergasted.

'No, just logic. They steal from me, I steal from them. It's part of the politics game.'Salaark pressed her fingers on their backs and tendrils of black mana destroyed the corrupted ends of War's mana circulatory system while white tendrils rebuilt it.

In a few moments, everything was as it was supposed to be.

"There. This is War as you know it. The question is: is it enough? Do you really want me to just imbue it in Davross without changing anything?

'No to both.'Lith took the blueprints of a new version of War out of the pocket dimension.

He was altering the schematics of the updated enchantments on the fly, improving on them the moment the Eyes of Menadion gave him and Solus a more precise understanding of the blade's spell matrix.

'We've always dreamed to see what would become of War if he had a power core instead of just pseudo cores. We've researched a few more spells we could use in battle but we never got the opportunity to make a proper blueprint. Until now.'

'Also, we didn't know how to ask you about it without sounding like ungrateful jerks.'Solus blushed a little. 'But since you are the one offering to do it...'

'You don't feel guilty anymore.' Salaark completed the phrase for Solus, chuckling.

'Don't get too cocky, though. I'll do it, but I won't put anything of mine in this work. Material, brains, it's all on you two. '

Then, Salaark used the darkness element to cut open War's spell matrix and the light element to expand and rearrange it. New strings of runes flowed in the middle of the energy mass, harmonizing with the pseudo cores. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
