3033 Sparring Partners (Part 1)

"By lunchtime, I hope." Valeron screamed in Kamila's ears, being older than Elysia only made him louder.

His fear of abandonment made things bad for him as well. Going from glued to Lith 24/7 to not seeing him for hours at a time terrified the baby boy. After all, it was the same thing that had happened with Jormun.

"Shush, Val. Daddy is fine." Kamila rocked the baby before turning to Elina. "With Meln's threat and the search for those guys who stole the Mouth, Lith and Solus can't delay their training any longer. They need to master the Prime Engine."

Blood Desert at the same time.

Practice also required secrecy. It was of paramount importance that whatever Lith and Solus learned about the tower's offensive form remained a secret.

This way, as long as they killed their current enemy, they would always have the element of surprise on their side when facing the next. It was the reason they asked Salaark for a secluded spot with a powerful mana geyser and a suitable sparring partner for the Prime Engine.

"Well, little brother, what can I say? I hate you." Sinmara, the Phoenix of Darkness, had volunteered for the task, and her brother Surtr with her.

Lith was a Divine Beast with a bright violet core so only someone with a white core like the twins or a Guardian could get him on the ropes while the tower supported him.

Yet Guardians were too powerful and Lith wanted to test the Prime Engine against someone who would actually get hurt by his spells, not just pretend to. So he had accepted Sinmara's and Surtr's offer even though there was still rust between them.

The twins wanted to make up for not helping him to rescue Phloria. As for Lith, he knew that unless he worked on their relationship, he would hold his grudge forever.

"That's a big word." The Dragon of Light jotted down his findings while his sister fought. "Envy is a better fit. You feel no real ill-will toward him. You just wish you too had a tower like that and so do I."

"No, right now hate fits the bill." Sinmara waited for her injured wings to regenerate before reverting to her human appearance. "That thing is still incomplete yet it gave me a run for my money."

The colossus in front of her was humanoid in appearance and as tall as her, reaching 40 meters (130 feet) in height. The Prime Engine looked like something in between a golem and a machine with gears at the joints and exhaust ports on its back.

The tower by itself was 30 meters (100 feet) high, but that was because there were as many floors above the ground as below. Even after rearranging itself to have arms and legs, the tower had enough mass left to grow to the size of a white-cored Divine Beast.

"What did you expect?" Surtr snorted. "It's a mage tower. It's supposed to have a power comparable to a white core and Menadion's tower was the best tower on Mogar. Even if it's incomplete, it's also up to date with modern magic.

"If you add Lith's bright violet core and Solus' bright blue, they are bound to beat you in raw power. Also, don't forget you went easy on them because this is a practice session, not a death match."
