Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3434

Chapter 3434 Three Steps (Part 1)

"The right question is: what has Lith taught me so far?' Aran started to review his brother's lessons since the camping trip near the Hot Pot.

Aran mulled over the methods to handle the elements of destruction, balance, and creation and the differences between them. As he did, he conjured the elements one by one in his mind, searching for the familiar feeling of elemental energy on his skin rather than a precise physical manifestation.

It took him a while to succeed but aside from a slight burning sensation in his abdomen, nothing happened.

Yes! This is a great start!'Aran felt confident despite the fact that he had been at it for hours and had yet to achieve something.

He had just gotten used to conjuring all six elements in his mind when something slimy slithered on his face. It was wet, rough, and sticky, like a brush covered in tar.

The surprise snapped Aran out of focus, making him emit a high-pitched scream and fall against the wall-curtain of Salaark's office while flailing his arm and legs.

"Wow, that's embarrassing. He recognized Onyx's voice while his eyes were still getting used to the light after being closed for so long. "It's lunchtime. Do you want to eat with me or do you want to do another cockroach dance first?"

"That wasn't a dance!" Aran touched his cheek recognizing the familiar traces of Onyx's saliva after a lick. "I was in deep meditation and you scared me."

"I noticed." The huge Utgard threw herself on her back and mimicked Aran's trashing while mimicking his scream with air magic over and over.

"I don't sound like that!" He blushed in embarrassment.

"You sure do, sweetie." Salaark giggled.

"Grandma? You are still here?" Aran blushed harder.

"This is my office. Where else should I be?"

"Who's bullying a little girl?" The Phoenixes of the honor guard looked around the office after being alarmed by Onyx's repeated screams.

"No one." Salaark laughed hard, holding her belly for air. "The children are just playing."

Onyx turned her snout to Aran and stared at him with her big feline eyes before emitting his scream for the last time.

"This isn't funny, Onyx!" Aran said.

"Then why am I still laughing?" Salaark replied.

The guards shrugged and left while Aran was still glaring at the Utgard and the Guardian.

"I'm still waiting for an answer." Onyx rolled back on her feet. "Lunch?"

"Fine!" Aran replied before his gurgling stomach made a fool out of him again. "But you are going to pay for that."

"Really?" Onyx grabbed him with her forelegs and started licking his face.

"Stop it." Aran laughed. "It tickles. Also, I'm really hungry."

"Like you should," Salaark Warped everyone to the dining room with a snap of her fingers. "You cast chore magic spells for hours. One consumes little energy but so many are bound to leave you drained. I'm afraid you are in for an aftershock.

"You should rest this afternoon."

"Okay, Grandma." Aran nodded and ate with the rest of his family.

"Where have you been all morning? You skipped all classes." Leria asked.

"I'm working on a secret project." The more Aran ate, the hungrier he felt. "As for the lessons, Onyx followed them and brought me my homework. If there's something I don't understand I'll ask her."

"Or you can ask me." Leria said.

"No can do." Aran shook his head. "It would ruin my secret project."

Those words piqued Leria's curiosity but she decided not to pry.

'Knowing him, it must be a hard-light toy or a chore spell that looks like a high tier one." She inwardly shrugged.

In the afternoon, Aran began to feel tired and achy. He felt like he had pins and needles all over his body and panted as if he were running instead of sitting on his chair. "These are signs of mana abuse." Onyx checked on him with Invigoration. "You have to rest."

"Once we are done with the homework," Aran panted.
