Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3308

Chapter 3308 Shameful Past (Part 1)

"Swear it on Valtak's name." Lith said.

Quashol blushed at the request, not liking to be caught red-handed.

"I would never stoop so low to try and steal the secrets of a Hatchling like you, Verhen." He lied through his teeth. "Now stand still."

A brief examination with Eternal Winter confirmed that Lith's core was indeed bright violet and depleted at that. His life force was still cracked and his body battered beyond belief.

According to Quashol's readings, the Tiamat should have been unconscious.

"I stand corrected. Verhen was telling the truth. There is no alteration in his life force that can explain what we have witnessed." The Elder Wyrm didn't like apologizing but the Tiamat's determination had earned his respect.

"What about the spell? The one that made Silverwing's Annihilation look like a joke?" Orion asked.

"A Blade Spell I devised based on my own magical research and Silverwing's spells." Once again, a sliver of truth before a cargo of lies. "I can't cast it without a weapon stored in my pocket dimension.

"That's why I didn't use it before rescuing Solus. In case you are wondering, I didn't share the weapon's design not out of pride but because it would have been useless. The power core requires rare ingredients that vary depending on the user.

"Like all Blade Spells, the weapon is attuned to me and my mana flow. It doesn't work for others and we didn't have the time to experiment on how to adapt it to someone else."

Everyone nodded, considering the matter closed.

Those who had mastered Blade Magic knew that each spell was unique and couldn't be passed on like regular magic. Those who had failed to learn Blade Magic, instead, didn't dare to assume they would grasp something even more complex.

"This sort of makes sense, but what about master Menadion?" Orion asked. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say she is the secret behind your many Forgemastering achievements despite your young age."

"Like I would share my knowledge with a random runt." The displeasure in Ripha's voice broke the last doubts about her relationship with the Tiamat. "Now, before I forget…"

Menadion struck the ground again, releasing a shockwave that reversed the effects of Flames of the Forge and turned the quasi-Blade Weapons back to their normal enchantments.

"Fuck!" Eldritches, Liches, and Divine Beasts cursed as one.

Dragons and Liches were those who almost went mad with fury. They had been so busy fighting the World Tree's minions first and collecting their loot later to bother studying the changes that Menadion's spell had wrought upon their equipment.

The Liches reacted like expected. They bawled their eyes out, screaming injustice and stomping the ground like a five year old who had just lost his favorite toy.

Phoenixes fared better, but only because they served under Salaark and they could learn Blade Magic as long as they demonstrated their valor to the Overlord.

As for the Eldritches-monster hybrids, they had been studying the quasi-Blade Weapons from the moment the fight had ended. They didn't care for anything but strength and Blade Magic was one of the few things on Mogar they still lacked.

On top of that, none of them doubted for a second that Tezka had already collected from the battlefield all the resources the Master's research might need. The Suneater possessed an omni pocket and with his dimensional abilities storing an enemy right after killing them was child's play.
