Supreme Magus novel Chapter 375

"How long was I out cold?" He asked while clenching and releasing his fists several times. There was something off with his body.

"Almost three hours." Solus replied. "Which is odd, I expected you to need at least eight hours to recuperate. How do you feel?"

"Like there’s an itch I cannot scratch. A needle in the back of my skull." Lith noticed Nok lying on the floor, still unconscious. He had so many things to ask but so little time.

First, he healed the young Byk, then proceeded to fix the mess Kalla’s body was.

’Wish I could speak and treat her at the same time. My day leave is almost over, I must make use of every single second I... What the f*ck?’

To Lith’s surprise, he could not only perceive Kalla’s life force with much more clarity than before, but also understand where he or she had messed up. It was more about listening rather than seeing.

Life force was like a song performed by a living being and every defect was a sour note. Lith listened to the melody played by the Wight’s body, guiding its flow along its intended path instead of trying to force it.

The patchwork covering Kalla’s mana core soon became a smooth surface, even leaving a few energies to spare that Lith redirected to the butchered left paw to hasten its recovery. The procedure required over an hour but neither Lith nor Kalla noticed the passing of time.

Lith was engrossed by his new ability and used it to heal his friend while deepening his understanding of Body Sculpting at the same time. Tier five Healing magic hadn’t become easier all of a sudden. Scanner was the same spell as before.

Yet the blue core allowed him to obtain a whole new set of information that made it possible for him to understand the breath of life rather than discovering it with a trial and error process.

Kalla instead focused on herself, trying to put into practice what Solus had explained to her. Lith’s touch made it easier for her to sense her life force. It was like a gentle massage over her soul that was easing her pain.

When Lith was done, Kalla felt exhausted but relieved. Somehow, she knew her life wasn’t in danger anymore and her paw, albeit was still limp, had stopped hurting.

"There." Lith said. "Everything should be all right. Take a few days to rest. No magic allowed. You core has yet to settle in the new life force. If I were you, I’d wait until your paw works again. A few weeks should suffice."

"A few weeks?" Kalla grumbled. She had never taken such a long break from her research. A few hours at most. She wanted to object and bargain her way out, but after looking at her children’s condition she decided to comply.

"I understand you are in a rush. What do you need my help for?"

Lith sighed, hoping she would believe him, before explaining to her both his reincarnation problem and the need to get Solus a body. If Kalla was surprised, she didn’t show it. Nok and Nyka were another story.

Their mouths almost fell onto the ground hearing Lith’s words. To them, lizards becoming dragons was something plausible. They were used to Scarlett stories, where she slaughtered princesses and rescued kidnapped trolls.

Reincarnation and a girl in a stone were too far fetched to believe though.

"Coming to me was the right move." Kalla replied after pondering for a while. "I just don’t get why you have submitted to the humans’ army."

"I didn’t submit." Lith scoffed. "My problem can’t be solved with a single spell or a generic artifact. If I had to find a solution all by myself, not even the extended life of an Awakened one would be enough. I have only one attempt at achieving my goal.
