Supreme Magus novel Chapter 882

Chapter 882 Bad Manners Part 2

Lith had prepared contingency plans in the case his tower was ever discovered and the spare armor was part of it. He prepared the table for three, bringing out some food from his pocket dimension.

Lith didn’t even use Invigoration, to save it for later. Within the tower, his recovery abilities were enhanced to the point that a short nap would allow him to return to his peak condition.

"Please, allow me. I don’t get many occasions to practice Invigoration on someone else." Solus said while waking up their guest.

She was curious to study a hybrid who had two mana cores, so while she was performing the healing, Solus also activated the tier five spell, Scanner. She discovered that like Lith, the creature had two life forces.

The main difference between the two hybrids was that in Lith’s case his life forces were linked, growing stronger together every time he experienced a breakthrough. Also, the barrier separating them seemed to exist only to protect his human body from the excessive strain that the other form would cause him.

She was certain that the barrier would disappear as soon as Lith became powerful enough to handle the energy that the combined bodies would possess.

In Nalrond’s case, instead, despite him being in his late twenties, the two life forces were completely isolated from each other by an airtight barrier that prevented any energy exchange.

That coupled with the two mana cores, gave Lith and Solus the impression of being in front of two beings that had somehow been forcefully merged into one. There weren’t two sides of the same coin so much as two coins glued together.

The moment Nalrond awoke, he tried to stand up, but a gentle hand forced him to sit.

"Relax. You’re safe here." Solus said, wearing her best smile.

Seeing a being made of light, however, was the most terrifying thing that Nalrond could imagine. His response to the perceived threat was to stand up with all of his might while striking at the creature’s heart with his razor-sharp claws.

It was the place where Dawn usually hid within her current host.

Solus slapped away the clawed hand with a grace that painfully reminded both men of Dawn and kept pressing on his scaly shoulder, locking the Rezar into place. The hybrid weighed half a ton, but in her tower form, Solus’s weight reached the dozens.

The attempt to overpowering her hand made him feel small and foolish as if he had tried to uproot a mountain.

"She said relax. If we wanted you dead, you’d have stopped breathing a long time ago." Lith had a smug grin on his face. He was curious to see how Solus would handle their guest and how powerful she truly was.

Nalrond had already proven to be aware of her existence and to somehow be able to trace Living Legacies like Solus. Hiding her from him was pointless, whereas having a hostile within the tower was a nice experiment.

Solus couldn’t harm Lith, she wouldn’t lift a finger against Tista or Nyka, and Zinya’s husband wasn’t worthy of being considered a test subject more than a cockroach would.

"Believe me, there are things worse than death. The puppet of a cursed object such as yourself should know better." The hybrid said while panic made his heart drum into his ears.

Nalrond conjured a small sphere of light out of one of his claws that instantly turned into a white-hot beam aimed at Solus’s forehead.

"That’s rude!" She snuffed out the light with a flick of her wrist. With the same movement, she also slapped Nalrond with so much strength that his jaw almost dislocated.
