Supreme Magus novel Chapter 857

Chapter 857 Hard Bargain Part 1

Lith’s only option was to synch his own life force with that belonging to his patient and make them resonate.

After several attempts, he managed to keep the red sun as a perfect sphere. The melody coming from the Wyvern’s life force rose in intensity enough for Lith to spot where the alterations that prevented the injuries from mending were.

Each time Lith fixed a damaged energy stream, the red sun turned to a brighter color and its melody became clearer. Xedros’s life force suddenly turned orange, then yellow, and lastly green.

’That’s enough.’ Tyris’s voice resounded again in Lith’s mind.

’Xedros will be able to recover on his own, in due time. I want him to suffer a bit more so that he realizes how much time he has wasted simply because he was too prideful to bother asking for help.’

Before Lith could reply, the white dwarf broke his spell and concentration. He found himself covered in sweat, panting as if he had fought for his life. Due to the lack of sunlight, Lith had no idea how much time had passed, but being Xedros fast asleep, the treatment had lasted hours.

Lith used Invigoration again, discovering that now the Wyvern’s physical prowess was close to his own and that the Emperor Beast’s mana core had turned several shades of purple brighter.

’Fuck me sideways. Today I’ve learned a lot, maybe even too much. I would’ve never expected that a prolonged physical condition could also affect an already developed mana core, otherwise I would’ve never restored Xedros so much.’

As if he had heard Lith’s thoughts, the Wyvern suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath. His wings popped back into place and his ribs finally healed, yet the punch mark on his chest was still there, the broken scales refusing to grow back.

Finally free from the agony that had tormented him for over a year, Xedros bellowed an unhinged laughter that led Lith to use Invigoration on himself and prepare for the worse.

At least until the invigorating effects of Lith’s newfound Body Sculpting healing technique completely disappeared and the laughter turned into a violent cough again.

"You didn’t heal me completely!" Xedros snarled in a fury.

"I did the best I could. How many healers do you know that can undo a Guardian’s spell?" Lith replied.

The truth behind those words made the Wyvern take another deep breath to regain his cool, which Lith mistook for a threat. Lith filled his lungs with air as well, to counter the allegedly incoming Origin Flames with his own.

"I apologize for my rudeness." What was came out of the Emperor Beast’s mouth instead. "During the past year, I failed to get a proper night’s sleep or even enjoy a single meal, which greatly exacerbated my mood."

"I hoped to be finally back to my peak condition, but I guess this will do. As a sign of appreciation for your patience, I’ll give you a few more hints about how to control your Origin Flames."

Xedros’s voice was calm and full of gratitude whereas his mind was filled with malicious plans.

’I was about to ruin my relationship with Faluel because of a temper tantrum. I’ve already wasted a year, and until I regain my full mobility, someone like this lesser Dragon might be useful.
