Supreme Magus novel Chapter 741

"Yeah, too bad that I can’t take tomorrow as a day off. We’re in the middle of a case. Damn if I hate being a responsible adult." Kamila went into the bathroom, replacing the lingerie with a baggy pajamas.

"That makes the two of us, babe." Lith said before taking a lonely cold shower.

The following morning, Lith left the Ernas household. Quylla’s Scanner confirmed that his life force was now no different from how it had been before. There were no new cracks and the old ones hadn’t grown any bigger.

Once he was back into his tower, Lith took all the loot he had gained from Kulah out of his pocket dimension, letting Solus prepare their Forge while he called Protector.

"Scourge, what happened to you? I tried to call you multiple times to remind you of your promise. At first, Selia bugged me because she thought you were avoiding us but over time she got so worried about you that she almost forced me to visit your parents and ask them about your whereabouts." Protector was relieved from hearing Lith’s voice.

As long as the owner of a communication rune was alive, their rune would remain, but not seeing Lith’s amulet active for a month had brought Protector to the point of thinking that he was held captive and unconscious.

Lith told all about the events in Kulah to Protector, explaining that going deep underground had blocked all communications. Life in the wilderness was quite boring, so Selia’s hologram appeared as well, sitting on Ryman’s lap along with their children, listening to Lith’s story as if it was a fairy tale.

Lith was amazed by how quickly Protector Hushed the kids’ ears during the most gruesome parts. Then, Lith asked for their help.

"I would like to introduce Kamila to the four of you."

"Well, any kind of company is most welcome, but can I ask you why? I thought you wanted to keep your life as an Awakened a secret." Selia asked.

"And I mean to keep things that way. Learning about Awakening might put her in danger. My issue is about leaving her in the dark about my other half as Protector did to you. In a while, we’ll have our one year anniversary.

"I don’t think it’s fair to drag things this long without giving her the opportunity to decide if she wants to stick with me or find someone more normal." Lith sighed. "You are the only mixed couple that I know, and seeing how she reacts to your situation would greatly help me to understand how open-minded she is."

"So, you’re asking us to reveal our secret before gambling on yours?" Selia asked. Lith hadn’t shared his hybrid nature with her, but the huntress had actually guessed a lot from the subtext.

"Yes." Lith nodded.

"Fine by me. What about you dear?" Selia asked Protector.

"Wait, what?" Both men said in unison. Ryman trusted Lith so much that any friend of his was also Protector’s friend, otherwise he wouldn’t have revealed himself so easily to Friya.

"Why so surprised? It’s obvious that I’m interested in checking if all humans are scumbags. You are now in the same situation my children will be in a few years. I’m not doing it just for you, but also for my family.

"By the way, if she breaks up with you just because of what one of your ancestors did, she doesn’t deserve you." Selia said, believing that Lith carried the blood of an ancestral Emperor Beast.

"It’s kind of more complicated than that." Lith replied.

"Are you going to tell me?"
