Supreme Magus novel Chapter 860

Chapter 860 Hidden Truths Part 2

Until that moment, Solus had managed to make Lith take a break only for lunch. She had been pleasantly surprised to be able to keep her human form for so long even outside the tower, yet she was worried sick about Lith’s mental condition.

The longer he remained alone, having only work and research as his companions, the closer he got to his old, single-minded self. She was the only tether he had with sanity, and since they had started to give each other more space due to her being more a woman than just a voice, the chain had got loose.

"I can go on a little longer." Lith replied. Despite the mild climate of the region, his hybrid body was steaming. The air in his proximity was heated to the point of distorting Solus’s vision.

"No, you can’t! You’ve not reverted to your human form even since you started practicing, not even for eating. Stop this immediately." Solus hugged him from behind, whimpering when her skin touched his scales.

The heat they emitted was so strong that the contact would have filled her arms with blisters if she was fully human.

The stinging pain hit Solus hard and their mind link made Lith feel it as it was his own, making him realize that he had truly gone too far.

"Dammit. This stupid body has no organs, so it doesn’t feel pain until it gets heavily damaged. Get off me, Solus, your dress is burning!" Lith wanted to push her away, but his hands were as hot as the rest of his body.

Also, if she offered any resistance, he might have made things even worse.

"I have plenty of dresses inside the tower." She replied refusing to let go.

"Before I release you, you must promise me two things. First, no more practice until tomorrow. We don’t know what we will face and I don’t want to risk losing you because you’re exhausted before the mission even started."

"I don’t care what your terms are, I promise!" Lith couldn’t believe that he was putting one of the people he loved the most through so much pain just because of his stubbornness.

"Second, no matter what, don’t turn around until I say so." Only after saying that last part did Solus let him go and run stark naked inside the tower to change. She could have created a dress out of her own energy or taken one out of her pocket dimension, but that would have been too fast.

She didn’t want Lith to notice how bad her burns were nor that the more her energy body lost its glow, the more it gained other features. She had tried to turn into her wisp form, but the attempt had made the pain from her wounds become worse. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

’Why does this kind of stuff always happen at the worst possible moment?’ Solus thought, her golden skin was reddened by the scorching heat it had endured and purple from embarrassment.

’Until a few days ago I looked like a doll-shaped glowing stick and now this? If Master Menadion wasn’t already dead, I would kill her for not leaving behind an instruction manual about this ridiculous condition of mine!’

By the time Solus returned, her appearance was back to normal. The mana geyser boosted all of her abilities and being inside the tower provided Solus with unlimited power. She didn’t need to cast a single spell to recover.

The world energy flowing through her body relieved the pain and allowed her to make a full recovery even before she reached her room.

Solus was now wearing a sleeveless knee-length white dress. Her golden hair floated in the air as if she was swimming under the sea rather than flying.

"Okay, now you can turn around." She said.
