Chapter 2968 Fire of Knowledge (Part 2)

"Gods, why?" As he raised his hands to the sky in frustration, the spike blades on his arms went back under the bone spikes and then came out from the other side, slightly above the elbow.

"My guess is that your species is supposed to use them to impale anyone dumb enough to charge at you." Lith pointed out. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

"While in your more-human-than-beast form, the knee blades are useless.

"Yet in your other form, you are forced in a half-sitting position to sustain your massive upper body. I suppose the knee blades and tail make up for the impossibility of kicking."

"Good to know!" Nalrond scoffed. "How do I retract them?"

"Practice. Lots of practice." Friya patted his back, deciding it was safer to leave him alone until she could take a good look with her breathing technique to his new body.

The night went uneventful and by the next morning everyone had recovered and the Agni had gotten the hang of the retractable blades.

Nalrond felt confident enough to use his breathing technique, Firelife, discovering how much his life force had changed. The red bricks and the burning star were gone, replaced by a red flaming humanoid figure.

He had now one life force, neither human nor Emperor Beast. It took him a few tries to get his old appearance back with Body Sculpting.

"I'm sorry, it seems that I'm different from Lith and Tista. My original life essences have become so mixed up that I can't separate them completely like they do. I can tune one down and focus on the other, but only up to a point."

"It's fine. You are still part human and so will I if I become a Harbinger. Right, Faluel?" Friya asked.

"I have no clue." The Hydra shrugged. "I've never met a Harbinger and no one among the Lesser Divine Beast had one. I can't tell you what's going to happen to you because there's no record of it."

At those words, Friya swallowed a lump of saliva.

'It's fine.' She thought. 'There's still over ninety years left before Faluel has to decide whether to make me her Harbinger or kill me. By then, I will have already lived a long and hopefully happy life.'

After everyone left the tower to get back to their respective lives, the days passed quiet and uneventful. Elisya kept growing healthy, Kamila was recovering from her depression thanks to her efforts and the help of her family, and Lith was teaching Void Magic again.

Even though he was still perfecting tier four and working on tier five, he found that going over the basics of Void Magic helped his creativity and deepened his understanding.

Teaching it to the kids and Kamila helped, but the six great academies were filled with youths of outstanding talent. Sometimes they asked him a question or proposed an explanation that would help him find a missing piece of the puzzle, improving his research by leaps and bounds.

He and Solus enjoyed their new routine, splitting their time between home and work.

By spending so much time with Elina and Zinya, Kamila had become a great cook. Maybe too much since Lith had found himself eating even when he wasn't hungry and Solus had gained more weight.

Her diet had barely started when they received two unexpected calls.
