Supreme Magus novel Chapter 747

With her weak mana core, Solus was the benchmark of the group, except when it was Nyka’s turn to handle light magic.

It was always a vexing experience for the vampire and her blood core, requiring her to feed often. Yet she needed to do it in order to better understand the powerful darkness magic that flowed inside her body instead of blood.

Usually, Lith would use the gathering to share his knowledge and further strengthen his foundations of magic, but this time he focused on himself the most. The problem with breakthroughs was that he needed to get used to his new strength, both physical and magical.

The array exercise allowed him to learn about the changes his mana core had undergone and how to regulate his mana flow without causing an explosion while trying to light a match.

After a while, he and Solus tower Warped back to the Ernas mansion. He needed to make sure to not kill the next person he hugged and Orion’s training dummies, which had the same durability of a human body, were the perfect subjects.

Much to his surprise, the guards at the gate had a message for him.

"Great Mage Verhen, you have visitors from the army waiting for you in the lounge, yet Lady Quylla needs to speak privately with you before anyone else. She’s been pretty clear about this point."

Lith nodded and went to Quylla’s room, where according to the guards she was waiting for him.

’I wonder what she needs me for. I doubt she has already made up her mind about me being a hybrid. It’s more likely to be related to the army’s envoy. Probably she wants to make sure that our versions about Kulah’s events match.’ He thought.

"I’ve got your message. What’s the emergency, Quylla?" Lith asked.

"I never got the opportunity to return this to you." She replied, handing back to him the book about the Mana Reactor. Quylla was so nervous that she was unable to stop fidgeting. Even folding her hands didn’t help.

"That’s hardly a reason to be worried." He shrugged.

"No, you don’t get it. We’re about to give our report. If I hand this book to the army, they’ll ask me where I got it. Since I was held prisoner, I’ll be forced to tell them that I got it from you."

"And?" Lith kept missing her point.

"And once the army explores Kulah and founds the safe near the Odi’s life pod, they might wonder if such a big container was really meant for a single book. In their shoes, I would expect to find all the information regarding all the Odi’s successful projects, not just one.

"You could end in trouble because of me." She said.

"You’re right." He nodded, moved by her concern. Her brain seemed to have a hard time making a decision about their friendship, but her heart didn’t seem to care.

"Thanks, but there’s no reason to worry. I was going to hand over to the army everything that I found back there anyway. That kind of knowledge its toxic, but it’s not up to us to decide what to do with it.

"You’re really a genius, little one. There were really three books in that safe." Lith said while ruffling her hair out of habit. Back then he had been in too big of a rush to hide the safe before the fight and there had been too many witnesses once he had regained consciousness.

He couldn’t expect everyone to be dumb, blind, and deaf so he knew all along that it was a matter of time before he would be forced to choose between giving up on the tomes or being charged with treason.
