Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3457

Chapter 3457 Elemental Storage (Part 2)

"This is the third of the four new floors." Solus did her best to shrug off her irritation and smile like nothing had happened. "I present you the Elemental Storage."

It was a circular room that painfully reminded her of the Bleed. The room was divided into seven sections, each one filled with giant class cylinders topped with what looked like large mana crystals.

One tank per section was partially filled with a dense, colored liquid, and more dripped from the crystal lid with a rhythmic drip. The tanks of the seventh section, however, were all empty and there was what looked like a stone throne amid them. "From the name and the colored liquids inside the tanks, it's safe to assume this place is used to store pure elemental energies." Tista pointed at the various sections of the room. One cylinder contained a bright yellow liquid, another a bright orange liquid, and so on. "Correct." Solus nodded. "There is no Spirit Element stored yet because the tower isn't alive. Or rather, yes, it is due to the bond with me, but draining my life force would go against its fundamental protocols."

"And draining me is fine, instead?" Lith was flabbergasted. "What kind of madness is this, Ripha?"

"This is no madness at all, Lith." Menadion shook her head. "I know how this may look at first glance but please remember I used this floor myself. Do you think I would hurt myself?"

She was aware of the resemblance between the Elemental Storage and the Bleed because they were based on the same principles. Instead of reinventing the wheel, Menadion had used the design of an already existing and working project, twisting it to employ Forbidden Magic.

"Also, what Solus said is incorrect. The extraction point doesn't drain life force, only Spirit Magic. On top of that, you are empowered by the tower during the entire process. I can assure you that the only risk you take is extreme boredom.

"I recommend bringing a book or working on a project to pass the time."

"Mom is right, Lith." Solus bowed apologetically. "I mentioned my life force because Spirit Magic is based on it and with my condition, I'm already much weaker than you. I don't recover as fast as you and my breathing technique still relies on you."

"Don't worry, I understand." Lith nodded. "Is it safe? Can I take a test ride?"

"Of course" She replied. "You have my word."

Lith sat on the stone throne, feeling under his fingers countless carvings so minute he had mistaken them as mere imperfections in the workmanship. Then, he felt a tug at his mana core. An emerald energy flowed out of his every pore and was channeled through

the canals in the throne without wasting a single iota.

The throne turned out to be covered in runes of power that became visible after being filled with Spirit Magic. It took over a second to condense a single drop of Spirit Magic that reached the bottom of the first tank with a plink.

"Are you alright, Lith?" Kamila knew of the Bleed and was worried about Lith's broken life force.

"I'm fine." He replied. "I just feel like I'm casting a stream of tier one Spirit Magic spells." "That's more or less what you are doing." Solus explained. "I've set the extraction point to absorb the least amount of Spirit. Magic it can condense. This way there is no burden on your life force and the procedure is slow but safe.

"It's no different from a blood transfusion, just with mana."

"What about the rest?" Leria asked. "Where do the other elements come from?"

"From Mogar, Leria" Solus replied. "Watch."
