Supreme Magus novel Chapter 107

The vision disappeared, and Lith managed to stood up again, while healing his damaged fingers. He discovered that tears were still streaming from his eyes. He hadn’t cried in years, and the feeling linked to the act was bittersweet.

They were mostly tears of pain, but at the end of the vision, they had turned to joy from his third life. When he saw the dryads standing a few meters from him, Lith finally remembered where he was.

"Is it supposed to hurt so much?" In another moment, rage and doubt would have filled his voice. But he was still shaken from the experience. He was questioning all of his life choices, including what to do next.

"No, it’s not." The blond dryad was genuinely worried.

"It was meant to show you the past, to help you understand the future. It shouldn’t have been so painful."

Because Lith had her heart, she had felt an echo of his anguish.

- "Humans are the real monsters. How could a kid endure so much pain?" – She thought

Somehow Lith knew instinctively in what direction he needed to go. A feeling of uneasiness was growing inside him with every second, like when he received the phone call from the hospital the day Carl died.

It wasn’t too late yet, but the clock was ticking. He had to get there as fast as he could. Yet that development was too odd to be true, so he needed answers before taking any rash decision.

"Are you sure this will help me with my soul?" As the memories were fading, Lith was returning to his old self.

"As I said before, no. But it’s likely. Any soul’s priority should be the desire to be mended, to be whole again." The blond dryad said while shaking her head.

"What else could it be?" Lith had never grow fond of riddles.

"It could mean meeting the love of your life, the person that will become your best friend." She shrugged. "The only thing that I know for certain is that you will find someone or something related to what your soul craves the most."

"I’ll be honest, all this talk about souls and destiny sounds fake like a flying pig, but a deal is a deal." Lith gave back the yellow lotus to the dryad, before darting away faster than a bullet.

As soon they were alone, the blond dryad demeanour changed like heaven and earth had switched places, looking at her sister with eyes full of annoyance.

"First you let a newborn Abomination best you in combat and use you to leech the world energy, turning your turf into a dump. Then you need my help to handle a human child. You’ve sunk low, dear Lyta." She said with a sneer.

"That bastard took me by surprise." Lyta pouted. "Don’t act so smug, you and I know that in my place you wouldn’t have fared any better. As for the human, that’s no child, it’s a monster. He didn’t bat an eye even after seeing me naked.
