Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2713

2713 Fighting Monsters (Part 1)

Elysia becoming a separate being from her mother depowered Kamila's body and core. It deprived her of the Dragon scales and the enhanced senses she had gotten so used to.

Kamila felt exhausted, so weak that she would have fainted on the spot if not for Tyris' warning. On top of that, she refused to lose consciousness before holding her baby.

"Is... this... what you meant?" Her eyes drooped and she felt like sleeping for a week.

Instead, she bit the inside of her cheek and used the pain to push through the drowsiness that was flooding her body.

"Yes." Tyris nodded. "For a Guardian it means losing half the power we have during pregnancy but for you is much worse. You just went from a cyan-cored Awakened to a yellow one. You are a few dozens of times weaker than you were a moment ago."

"Can I-" Lith stepped toward Salaark who was holding Elysia.

"No!" The three Guardians stepped in front of him as one, even stopping Faluel and Elina from coming close and helping him. "For Mogar's sake stay away and don't move a step."

"Why?" Lith's voice trembled, feeling rejected. Feeling like the monster he knew he was.

"Because if you are anything like Leegaain, and I mean even one atom, we need all the help we can get." Tyris replied while handing Elysia to Kamila and using her breathing technique, Mother Earth, to restore Kamila's strength.

"What do you mean?" The Guardians formed a barrier around mother and daughter, pushing Lith to the edge of insanity.

"Oh gods, thank you so much." Kamila sniffled as Elysia took her human form upon smelling her mother and feeling her warmth. "She's beautiful. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

Between Tyris' Mother Earth restoring Kamila's stamina and Salaark's Rebirth Magic pumping nutrients into her body, Kamila managed to stand up with Zinya's help.

All the pain and fear that she had experienced until a moment ago were forgotten in the joy of holding her baby and feeling her warm breath on her skin.

"Look at her, Lith. This is our daughter. Your daughter." She stepped forward, with tears streaking down her cheeks from the happiness that was filling her heart.

"Careful now. Slow and easy" Leegaain said as the Guardians moved out of the way, clearing a path for the couple.

Lith could finally come close enough to take Elysia from Kamila, not understanding anything that was going on.

Until he held the baby girl in his arms, feeling the weight of her life in his hands.

Elysia was just a hybrid, weighing no more than a human baby.

She was a little and frail thing, something that he could have extinguished with a sliver of killing intent. A being as warm as a candle that could have just as easily been snuffed out by one of his fingers or the weakest of his spells.

Yet she was there, Elysia Verhen, daughter of man.

Lith felt his knees buckle and instinctively shapeshifted into his Voidfeather Dragon form to use its long tail as a crutch.

As Elysia felt the red scales pressing against her skin, she followed suit. Her wings still lacked feathers, but her scales were of six colors and they all burned with elemental power.

Elysia, daughter of Dragon.

Before Lith could understand what he was doing or why, his panicked mind sought asylum in the safety of the darkest corner of his mind, where everything had begun.
