Supreme Magus novel Chapter 487

The first thing Lith and Solus did was go back to Lutia. Solus’s physical form was limited to the tower’s premises, but she loved the most rolling over the dew laden grass and feeling the warmth of the rising sun over her wisp form.

After being trapped for months inside her ring, even the most trivial of experiences, like hearing her own voice instead of just her thoughts, gave Solus endless bliss. They would walk around the tower, putting her new limits to the test, and change location the moment she started to feel like a hamster on its wheel.

"Are you sure you don’t want to bring Tista along?" Lith asked.

"Maybe later. Spending time with her made me understand how odd our relationship is in the eyes of a normal person. I’m sure she would ask me what I think about Kamila, but right now I really don’t want to talk about it." Solus sighed.

"The only thing I want to do is sleep." Another change which had occurred after she achieved a green mana core, was that now Solus was able to sleep while in her tower form independent of Lith.

In her normal condition, Solus was unable to rest. Her constantly being awake wore down her nerves over time, especially when Lith was asleep or she was forced to isolate herself from the outside world to give him some privacy.

Sleeping alleviated her stress and relieved her depression. While Solus rested, Lith used that time to study some of the tier five spells the Crown had awarded him with and to further experiment with light magic.

After seeing Manohar in action, Lith had realized he was just scratching the surface of light magic. His efforts and relentless practice improved his holograms even further, making them more realistic.

Unfortunately, they remained ethereal. Lith tried to at least add some color to them but without success. He forgemastered many more camellias, roses, orchids, and each one of them had the colors and nuances he remembered from his life on Earth.

’Why can I achieve with Forgemastering what I’m unable to do without a magical focus?’ He pondered to no end nor improvement.

While his forgemastered creations could be easily infused with other elements, mixing light with other kind of magic that wasn’t darkness made the images crumble. Lith would have liked to forge an enchanted item capable of creating hard light constructs, but he had no idea how its pseudo core should be shaped.

Without something to use as a reference, it was just a waste of time. There were too many variables to hope for a stroke of luck.

Lith tried using more mana while shaping the light element, but it only made his holograms brighter, while adding focus made them more detailed but nothing else.

While Solus slept, he moved the tower back to Kogaluga and searched its ruins far and wide for any magical treasure that Life Vision could reveal now that no undead remained.

"Dammit. Either opening the rift consumed everything precious inside the city, or someone beat me to it centuries ago. This place is useless. The undead here have no soul or life force of their own, they are just extensions of the rift."

Life Vision showed him that regardless of the source of the will driving the dark energies, it kept replicating itself. All the undead, no matter their starting form or the evolution process they would undergo, were all the same being.

Lith gave his report before going back to the tower and practicing more magic. Once Solus awoke, she felt reborn.

"Do we have plans for tonight?" She asked after noticing the Sun was already down.

Lith’s replied by Warping them above the tower’s roof, or to be more precise, above the ruins of the second floor. That night the sky was clear, allowing them to enjoy the many bright stars which lit the sky and Mogar’s silvery waning moon. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
