Supreme Magus novel Chapter 523

Meanwhile, after checking if a side room was empty, Lith and Phloria entered it and she locked the door behind them.

\"Don’t worry.\" She said in reply to his silent question. \"The room is sound proof, no one can hear us from the outside.\"

Lith used Life Vision to check his surroundings while Solus did the same, replying only when their magical senses confirmed her words.

\"Are you really hurt or is there something you need to tell me?\" Lith knew that Quylla was a Healer almost as good as he was and that the phantom pain was likely an excuse.

Lith would have loved to tell her about he too had needed to speak with her in private, but seeing her with his amulet and between the arms of someone else had left him more confused than he had expected.

Everything that came to his mind would either make a fool out of himself or make the situation even more awkward than it already was.

Phloria was experiencing almost the same emotions. She had avoided Lith until that day because time had helped smother her feelings, so that their relationship felt like it could be a thing of the past.

But everything seemed to be coming back after seeing him again. Phloria’s mind felt so fuzzy that she didn’t even remember the reason why she had brought him there.

\"Kamila seems nice. You two must be happy together.\"

\"Kallion doesn’t seem bad. I hope he treats you right.\" Lith had so many things to say to her, yet only the most idiotic ones seemed to be willing to pop out of his mouth.

\"He doesn’t seem bad?\" Phloria chuckled, making him realize how much he had missed that smile and the sound of her voice. \"So he doesn’t seem good to you either.\"

\"I don’t know him. I can only say what I see.\" Lith shrugged.

\"Why are we here?\" His question came out much colder than he intended. His brain and his mouth seemed to be disconnected.

\"I just wanted to know how are you. I mean the real you, not the mask you wear in front of everyone else. Have you mastered Death Vision yet?\" She took a step closer, realizing it was the first time she had to look up to meet eyes with him.

Their past was so distant, yet it felt like it was yesterday.

\"It’s not a power, more like a curse.\" He replied.

\"I have learned how to keep it under control under normal circumstances, but that’s it. To make matters worse, there’s no trace of something similar in any book I’ve consulted. You have no idea how does it feels to watch everything and everyone you love die over and over again.\"

\"I remember it almost drove you insane.\" She sighed.

\"Did you tell your family about that thing with you and the shadows?\"

\"No. I have never told anyone else, but I got better.\" It pained him to admit that she was still the only one he had ever shared that secret with. In his mind, Solus didn’t count because they didn’t share anything, they were one and the same.

Lith flexed his shoulders as his second form swallowed his tuxedo. He stood slightly over two meters tall, covered in thick curved black scales with hands and feet that ended in razor sharp claws.

It still lacked the horns, the wings, and the tail which only appeared during tribulations. His face was a black slate with no nose or ears. Two yellow eyes were open, while the slits for the other five, although visible, were shut closed.

\"As I told you after the second exam, I’m a broken man, shattered into so many pieces that my original form is unrecognizable. Yet you managed to turn the metal I’ve spent my whole life steeling myself to be, into soft fabric. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
