Chapter 3088 Illusionary Wall (Part 2)

"Thanks. I'll add it to my to-do list." Lith groaned. "What do we do now? It's late and we have no idea what awaits inside."

"At least we know it's not a Garden." Ryka couldn't see any mana flow around. "Nor a geyser."

"There's a lot of enchanted protections starting from there, though." Lith pointed at an illusionary wall that an array-detecting spell lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Dammit, whoever this guy is, they are thorough." Strider and the others spent what was left of daylight to study the magical formations. "There's no way to turn them off without revealing our presence.

"I say we come back tomorrow with fresh eyes after giving the arrays some study."

The group agreed and after a few Steps, Lith and Solus were back home. They spent the evening with Kamila, the children, and the rest of their family. Thanks to the geyser under the Mansion, the tower worked at full power, and with it the Grimoire.

Lith had set the floor to decipher the magical formations so that he suffered no mental burden while the Grimoire worked its magic. The Eyes were linked to the Library from which the artifact had access to everything Lith and Solus knew about arrays.

The arrays surrounding the illusionary wall of the cave were broken down and analyzed one by one and the information acquired was neatly organized in a folder. Only one automated floor of the tower could work at a time for now, but the rest could wait.

Normally, Lith and Solus kept the Spark active, leaving their equipment to be further refined. Half of the Adamant of Solus' Voidwalker armor had turned into Davross, forming an alloy superior to purified Adamant but without the special properties of pure Davross.

The same had happened to Lith's armor and Double Edge, but they were only coated with the mystical metal. Their backbone was comprised of the skeleton, scales, and skin of Syrook, the late Darkness Dragon.

The Spark had refined the remains of his corpse, feeding it with nutrients from the storage and allowing it to grow and be refined as if the Wyrm was still alive. Lith's Voidwalker armor and Double Edge were now made of materials with the same properties as the body of a 30 meter (100') tall bright violet-cored Darkness Dragon.

The same had happened to the Sage Staff whose Yggdrasill Wood had gained the equivalent of ten more years of body refinement, close to the maximum age that any World Tree had ever reached.

The process had increased their size, durability, and mana conductivity. The armor and weapon now fit Lith's Tiamat body perfectly without being stretched, increasing both their offensive and defensive capabilities.

The same had happened to the Sage Staff whose Yggdrasill Wood had gained the equivalent of ten more years of body refinement, close to the maximum age that any World Tree had ever reached.

What lay beyond was a mystery that Solus couldn't wait to unravel.

"Did you really scout restaurants for a romantic date while on the mission?" Kamila was elated by Lith's description of the Crystal Cauldron. "Then I have to prepare something of my own to return you the favor." She giggled.

Valtak, instead, was annoyed hearing that they had to postpone his lesson.

"You better make up for this by freeing two days in a row for me, hatchling." The Father of Fire said. "Otherwise I might decide that moving on to a new and more respectful student is a better use of my time."

"I'm sorry, Valtak, but this is important." Lith replied.

"It better be. Valtak out."

Useless to say, Tista and Morok weren't happy either. The Hekate now had to get beaten up two days in a row by Salaark's Phoenixes while the Tyrant knew that the make up lesson meant missing one day of experimenting on human evolution.

"Don't worry about me. I don't care." Ryla was the only one taking the news with grace. "Everything I have I owe it to you, Lith. One day is nothing compared to the happiness you blessed me and my child with."
