Supreme Magus novel Chapter 963

Chapter 963 The Fallen Part 1

After just a couple of days, Lith’s body couldn’t take the training regimen anymore, not with just three meals a day. He couldn’t explain to them that thanks to Invigoration his body required but a second to regain his vigor, so he accessed Soluspedia to relieve his boredom.

Only then did he notice that his mental library was completely empty except for a scroll. It said: "If you can read this, eject the scroll inside the tower."

The moment Lith did as instructed, two more scrolls appeared inside Soluspedia.

The first said: "If you are alright, eject this scroll" while the second: "If they are holding you prisoner against your will, eject this scroll".

’Solus, you are a damn genius.’ Lith smiled while ejecting the first scroll and continuing their long-distance conversation.

The two of them shared all of Solus’s tower abilities, distance only made it harder for Lith to access his dimensional space, but he still managed to do it just by heightening his focus.

Solus told him that after separating from him, she had reached the mana geyser in the Trawn woods to assume her tower form and alerted Tista, Protector, and Faluel. None of them trusted the Kingdom, so they had waited to receive news directly from him while preparing for the worst-case scenario.

Lith’s family had faith in the Ernas and the Professors, but since they were both forbidden from telling them the reason for Lith’s confinement, everyone was scared to death, even Solus.

Together with Lith’s Awakened allies, she was staging a prison break.

After being reassured of his wellbeing, Solus passed the information to Tista who in turn relayed it to the rest of the family under the pretense it came from an Awakened source.

Selia had to wait spring before starting the renovation of her house in Lutia, so she had been living with the Verhens in the guest room to run the house while Elina was too distressed to do anything.

She only brought the little Fenrir with her, leaving the other children in Nalrond’s care.

After another couple of days, most of the magical energies lingering around Lith’s body had disappeared. Huryole’s fog was still there, but thinner and farther from his life force than before.

"Your life force shows no sign of alterations and the spell’s effects are as good as gone. You’ll be free soon." Vastor said with a smile.

Lith was so happy for the good news that as soon as the Professor left, he tried to eject the scroll in Soluspedia related to his release when he noticed a new message.

"I’ve lost contact with Tista. A small battalion is surrounding your house, preventing everyone from going in or out. The arrays have been reinforced to the point that even my Mirror Hall can’t see inside.

"I’m afraid such precautions are related to your condition and to the approaching of the day of your discharge from the army. I suspect the Royals are afraid that someone might strike during your absence. I’ll keep you posted, check Soluspedia often."

"What the heck is going on and why can’t I leave my own home?" Tista snarled a few centimeters from the face of the Commander of the Queen’s Corps squadron that had surrounded the Verhen household.

The poor man was torn between his duty and the mad desire to kiss her full lips.
