Supreme Magus novel Chapter 574

’No, she can’t. With her trust issues, she would stop believing in me. Put yourself in her shoes. Friya wouldn’t know with who she has really interacted so far and she would be afraid that you are somehow manipulating me. She too is paranoid. Telling her is a liability.’ Lith said.

Solus sighed and said nothing more. Friya’s level of craziness was dangerously similar to Lith’s. She had chosen to establish a guild, yet she treated her companions as a means to an end and changed them more often than her socks.

Unless the opportunity presented itself, she would react badly to a revelation as big as Solus’s existence was.

While waiting for Friya, Lith and Solus tried to sketch together all she could remember about the assassin’s garb’s pseudo core.

’Orion said that a gold alloy can’t hold more than one incantation at a time, yet that garb had three of them. Maybe it used adamant instead of silver.’ He thought.

’My thoughts exactly.’ Solus forgot about her sense of isolation the moment they started to consider how to replicate the lost artifact. Ever since Ratpack’s words had triggered her memory, her passion for magical research had become even stronger.

The more she learned, the more she could feel her lost memories scraping at a corner of her mind, like words she had never forgotten yet she was never able to express.

’A new armor would be the perfect recipient for all of our resources. Even if magically boosted, a cloth remains cloth. Adamant is one of Mogar’s legendary metals. If we can combine the Skinwalker’s properties with those of the garb, the durability lost due to mixing it with gold would be plenty balanced by its stealth properties.

’No one would recognize you as an Awakened anymore and by switching clothes at will you would always remain just a face in the crowd.’

’Agreed. The problem is that while I know the Skinwalker’s pseudo core like the back of my hand, I’ve no idea how to infuse an object with Full Guard. I need to ask Orion if he’s capable of doing it and if yes, I have to convince him to share the procedure with me.

’Something we can do as soon as the crisis is resolved, instead, is to take a second look at the fire I can produce while in my hybrid form. When it burned the layers of the assassin’s garb, I realized that it can do much more than just destroy.’ Lith thought.

’I am eager to see what happens to an enchanted item if the flames aren’t put out. What if they can drain a pseudo core completely? They could open doors, disrupt arrays, maybe even delete the imprint left by the item’s owner.’ Lith thought.

’It’s not so simple. I remember the Abomination who possessed the wargs calling them "Origin Flames". I don’t remember what they are, but something tells me they are very important. We must find out their real nature.’

Solus couldn’t put her finger on it, but she felt that they shared a connection with the title ’Ruler of the Flames’ her master Menadion mentioned in her memories.

Lith and Solus spent the time before breakfast drawing and visualizing the assassin’s garb’s pseudo core. Solus hadn’t seen it from many angles, and to make matters worse, the distance had made the mana pathways appear like a blur to her.

They only had one Forge of adamant, so their blueprint had to be perfect or everything would go to waste.

"Well, how did your hunt go?" Friya was happy seeing him in one piece, yet she knew it didn’t mean much. Phloria wasn’t the only one who back at the academy had noticed his ability to heal from deadly wounds like they were just scratches.

"One down, three more to go." Lith sighed while following her to the Dining Hall.

The dining room walls were painted of a pale blue and the floor was entirely covered by a single red and blue carpet with floral figures depicted on it. The chairs’ lining had the same pattern as the carpet while the Viscount’s coat of arms was engraved on their armrest. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
