Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2700

2700 Talent and Mana (Part 2)

"Deal." Salaark said.

"Wait!" Zinya stepped between them before their hands could touch. "I wish to come as well. Please."

"One more person means nothing to me. Salaark shrugged. "But at this point, I feel entitled to a similar concession."

"Why?" Tezka snorted. "We both know that you can share everything with your Nest via your Call of the Blood. Whatever I do, your runts will know anyway."

"Not my runts." The Overlord shook her head. "I want to bring those two as my guests."

She pointed at Lith and Friya.

"Hey!" Kamila said in annoyance.

"Fine, you too. You'll keep company to your sister." Salaark rolled her eyes.

"Let me think about it." Tezka walked towards the trio, his eyes wandering on each one of them and then on Solus.

He had often met those people, he had seen them in the past but he had never bothered really looking at them. In his eyes, they were as pretty and ephemeral as butterflies. There was no point in memorizing the pattern of their wings.

"Let me guess. These two are a package deal.'

Salaark nodded, knowing that any attempt to hide the pocket dimension from the inventor of dimensional magic was as stupid as trying to deny the existence of the sun.

The Suneater could feel the same dimensional space stretching from both Lith and Solus, leaving him only one logical conclusion.

"This one is funny!" Tezka bent down until his head was at the same eye level as Friya, covering her in a cold sweat. "There's talent in her as well and she's even been dabbling with my magic for a while now."

Friya was proud of her ability as a dimensional mage and calling her seven years of blood, sweat, and tears in perfecting her skills "dabbling" was offensive at best. Yet she couldn't move or even breathe under the gaze of the nightmare in front of her.

She felt like he was looking past the clothes and flesh covering her. Like Tezka was staring at her true essence, making her feel naked and completely at his mercy.

"Deal. I like both Yehvals and Lith is my little brother. I can allow him a plus one." The two ancient monsters shook their hands and the tension in the air disappeared as fast as it had manifested.

Friya could finally start breathing again and her knees buckled up. She panted like a bellows, feeling exhausted as if she had fought for her life against impossible odds.

"Do you really think we are talented, Uncle Tezka?" Filia asked him.

For some reason, the kids looked at Friya in a funny way, finding her weird. Friya was the only one who had experienced Tezka's pressure. To everyone else, he had just talked.

"I don't think, I know." He replied. "Talent and mana capacity are two completely different things. The first is decided at birth while the second can be expanded through Awakening."

"What's Awakening?" Frey asked with a puzzled look on his small face.

Valia just laughed her ass off at Gilly's expense while her parents scolded her for her lack of tact. Then, her father asked Leegaain if there was a nice Dragon among his Brood that might be interested in Valia and the hilarity stopped. _{freewebnøvel.com}
