Supreme Magus novel Chapter 766

Except for Manohar, of course. The Mad Professor would probably just look at those revelations as a means for his research. He was beyond morality, if not even beyond sanity.

"So you brought me here to show me the life you’ve saved, to not make me angry when I discovered why you’re going to leave me?" Kamila pushed him away, her eyes watery and her voice hurt.

"Leaving you?" Lith asked.

"Well, if you’re going to die, you can’t waste your time with me. I’m older than you, I’ve yet to build my career and make a name for myself. I know that I’m just..."

"No, you got it all wrong." Lith gently shut her up, placing his forefinger on Kamila’s lips to get the opportunity to explain.

"I brought you here because I don’t want you to waste your time with me without knowing that if my line of work doesn’t kill me, my past could at any moment. Because I wanted to be honest with you before moving forward with our relationship, otherwise all we might build together would have lies and omissions as foundations.

"Due to the exchange of life forces, Protector knows almost everything about me, yet he accepted me nonetheless. It makes him one of the very few people I’ve been completely honest with, and I think you deserve to know the truth as well."

Lith told her about his first tribulation in Kandria, how things had started to change, both inside and outside of himself, and how those changes had become deeper over time.

"So, not only do you have a crippled life force, but you’re also.... Inhuman?" She asked, pacing in circles, trying to match the speed with which Mogar was spinning around her head.

"Some say a Dragon, others a demon, but they all agree on the term hybrid." Lith nodded, without trying to get close to her.

"Show me." She stopped abruptly, facing Lith with her hands clenched so hard that her nails pierced her skin, making Kamila bleed.

"Are you sure? It’s kind of unsettling..."

"Just do it." She cut him short, hoping that his story was just a convoluted, sadistic way to break up with her. Yet it was all true. Just like Protector’s, Lith’s shapeshifting was so fluid that one blink was enough to miss it.

Selia almost yelped from the shadows in surprise and only Protector’s hand silenced her, leaving Kamila’s illusion of being alone intact.

Kamila looked at the black scales, whose tips were reddened by the inner fire burning within. She noticed the razor-sharp claws that had replaced Lith’s nails, the short tail full of bone spikes coming out from his spine, as well as the black wings on his back.

They were different from those he had created a few days before to defend her. They were twisted and unnatural, like the hands of a giant clutching him. Then, she looked up, way higher than she normally had to meet his eyes.

Lith had apparently no mouth nor nose, with just two small curved horns on his forehead and three eyes searching for her gaze. Just like Protector’s, Lith’s eyes hadn’t changed, they were the same as before.

Honest, worried, and full of that pain that so rarely left them alone, making his gaze sad or cruel most of the time.

Kamila took several deep breaths until Mogar stopped playing tricks on her. Only then did she manage to open her hands, touching Lith’s claws first and then his scaly neck.

She expected it to be cold and rough, maybe even sharp. Yet his body was warm and soft under her touch, the scales twitching as if that contact gave Lith goosebumps, either out of pleasure or fear.

"That’s why I was yelling before. Knowing that you’re a pervert is one thing, but admitting it to yourself is hard." She kissed him again, looking Lith in the eyes now that the height difference was gone. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
