Supreme Magus novel Chapter 780

Those words almost made Lith choke on his food, just like the killing intent that was suddenly filling the cave.

Faluel found his distress amusing and started giggling like a little girl. Yet now he didn’t find her adorable anymore.

"I’m just joking. I’ve already told you that I’d like to have you as my disciple and that I could really use a constant supply of Origin Flames. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have wasted my breath for this long. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

"Before I continue, do you have any questions?" Faluel asked.

’Fuck me sideways. This woman is making my head spin right round like a record. She goes from girl next door to killer queen in a split second. I wish Solus was here.’ Lith thought.

He then told her about both his fights with Irtu and Thrud, to understand what had actually happened to his spells.

"Irtu was clearly a rare genius. Usually, only Emperor Beasts develop dominance. To achieve that while he was just a Byk is impressive beyond reason. Too bad he was also a psycho. I would have loved to have him as a disciple as well." Faluel sighed.

"As for Thrud Griffon, she’s another anomaly on a league of her own, just like you. She has a rainbow core, something as fabled as the legendary white core of immortality..."

"Woah! Hold that thought." Lith cut her short with a time-out gesture that confused Faluel but also earned him another of her smiles that would make almost any straight man ask her for a date.

Almost.

"I thought that her rainbow core was due to the failed expulsion of her impurities since she isn’t an Awakened. Are you saying I was wrong? Also, white core of immortality?"

"You keep surprising me, Lith. Not only did you survive the encounter with two geniuses of such caliber, but you also had the time to use Invigoration on Thrud to see her core? That’s simply amazing." Faluel’s words made Lith want to bite his tongue.

What she had suggested was obviously an impossible feat. He only knew about Thrud’s core thanks to Solus’s mana sense. Solus was a secret that he had to defend at all costs and not just because of her abilities.

Lith’s feelings for her were as messed up as those he still had for Phloria, something that he would never admit, even to himself. As long as she was at his finger, it would mean to risk hurting her.

Yet the memory of almost losing Solus in Kulah still hurt Lith badly, allowing him to put on his best poker face. Pain was an old friend to Lith and a great motivator.

"Thanks for your kind words, but my bravado almost cost me my life. If not for my team and Invigoration, I would not be here today." Lith replied, blushing on cue to fake his embarrassment.

"Don’t worry. Luck is part of someone’s talent." Faluel replied, toasting to luck. Little she knew that aside from meeting Solus, luck had played a little role in Lith’s life.

"To answer your question, yes, you are right. Thrud’s rainbow core is the result of Arthan’s Madness, but that doesn’t make it any less special. It proves that forbidden magic can actually recreate Awakening.

"She obtained an immortal body and a magical power that has yet to be fully put to the test. Some say she is weaker than a purple core, others say she is stronger. More importantly, what if she actually Awakens?
