Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3384

Garrik’s Tyrant and Fomor life forces had merged further since the last time Lith had examined them but whether it was due to natural development or practice, it was impossible to tell.

"Can you show me how you’ve been training?"

"Right now?" Garrik was exhausted, his whole body aching from mana and elemental abuse.

"You just need to do it for a few seconds." Lith replied. "Before starting, explain to me in detail what you are going to do."

"It’s nothing much." The young hybrid shrugged. "I followed your advice and improved upon the technique we have developed together. I don’t try to open a seventh eye like Da-, I mean, Glemos wanted.

"I focus on balancing the six elemental flows from my eyes and amplifying them with my body. Unlike my big brother, however, not a single speck of my skin has turned emerald. Not even for a second."

"We’ll worry about that later, Garrik." Lith patted his shoulder to reassure him. "First, let me take a look at your technique."

Lith shared the Eyes of Menadion with Solus, filtering everything and everyone else out to focus the artifact solely on Garrik.

As the Tyrant-Fomor hybrid drew in the elemental energies, nothing seemed to happen. Lith and Solus could clearly distinguish the three different life forces departing from the boy’s mana core.

The Tyrant side looked like a flaming green eye surrounded by six rings, each of a different elemental color. The Fomor side, instead, looked like a colossus made from lego bricks and an erector set of six different colors.

The Harmonizer made the elements coursing through the Fomor side spread evenly, even giving them thin emerald streaks here and there. Yet thanks to the Eyes, Lith could see that each flow was actually jagged and irregular, one element shifting into another with no harmony.

It was as if whoever had painted the colossus couldn’t make up his mind and had painted it over multiple times in multiple spots.

’And that’s with the Harmonizer forcing the Fomor life force in a stable form ever since Garrik was conceived.’

Solus pointed out.

’I’m more curious about how Tyrants managed to alter their life force to resemble the Emperor Beasts’. ’

Lith replied.

’It’s no wonder they managed to hide their human origin until Glemos exposed it.’

The flaming eye and the colossus emitted sparks every time they collided, the strength of the impact pushing them away in opposite directions. Yet they could only get so far due to the third life force binding them together.

The lower end of the eye and the left feet of the colossus overlapped perfectly with no rejection, forming an emerald stretch of energy. Lith and Solus recognized six small rings moving back and forth along it without ever touching the other two life forces.

The stretch was akin to a spring that resisted the drifting of the two sides until the accumulated tension became enough to pull them back together. The Fomor and Tyrant life forces then rejected each other again and the cycle started anew.

The moment Garrik conjured the six elemental streams inside his body, they encapsulated the two sides. The rejection was still present but the energy cocoon forced the life forces together the same way the Harmonizer forced the Fomor side to keep the "right" form.

’We failed.’ Lith sighed. ’Garrik is right. He has made no progress compared to Morok. We need to review the data and start fresh to-’

It took the Fomor-Tyrant hybrid a few seconds to balance the different elemental energies. As they went from simply coexisting to balancing each other, the repulsive force between the two life forces disappeared.

Keeping the six elements in synch was hard and making them add up to match Garrik’s life force was even harder. The young man was already tired and had no idea what he was doing so the balance between the elements he conjured inside his body shifted constantly.

During those brief moments when the life forces and elemental flows evened out, however, the elemental rings of the hybrid life force fused with the Tyrant’s and together encompassed the energy cocoon.
