Supreme Magus novel Chapter 384

Before leaving the slavers’ village and resume his flight towards the Fallen City of Kaduria, Lith would have liked to spend some more time with Kamila. However, she was too busy supervising the rescue operations.

Some of the prisoners were in desperate conditions and the army needed all hands on deck. Lith took care of those whose health was beyond the help of normal Healers. Thanks to Invigoration, he could resupply their life force and fix their bodies so fast that as long there was still a spark of life they could be saved.

’Solus asked me to save them, not just to delay their demise. I’ve kept my word at the best of my abilities.’ He thought.

The other Healers clicked their tongues at Lith’s "Speed Healing" session, thinking he was doing a poor job to rack up merits fast and leave them to fix his mess. Rangers had a bad name. Not because they were easy to corrupt or cruel people.

Their ill reputation was due to their poor social skills, usually coupled with a contempt for teamwork. In a system were relying on others to watch your back was the norm, Rangers worked alone.

"He picked the worst cases and spent a few minutes per patient." One of the Healers said while double checking Lith’s work.

"Let’s hope the terminator had at least the decency to stabilize their conditions before leaving. I swear, Rangers belong with beasts, not with humans. They..." The words died in his mouth when the diagnostic spell gave its report.

Aside from the malnutrition, there was no sign of injury, neither past or present. The scars had disappeared and the bones, albeit thin, showed no sign of previous fractures. The Healers were so shocked that, even knowing it was a breach of the protocol, they went to Lieutenant Yehval to ask about Lith’s identity.

"The patients- they-" The main Healer was so excited he was at loss of words. "Some of them were in such a state we could only ease their pain and wait for the inevitable. Now they are fit as a fiddle. I would like to ask the Ranger to take me as his apprentice."

The man was double Lith’s age, but he didn’t sound embarrassed at the idea of serving under someone so young.

"I’m sorry, Captain." Kamila replied. "Until the end of his tour, I can’t disclose any of the Ranger’s personal information. I can relay your message to him, though."

’He’s so young yet has already reached the rank of First Lieutenant.’ She couldn’t avoid feeling a tinge of envy considering it had taken her a decade to obtain the same promotion.

’Healer, Necromancer, ruthless warrior...’ She thought while watching at the corpses whose head had been ripped off or the heart removed from the chest.

’I wonder how many other things he is good at.’ She giggled while looking at Lith’s contact rune on her personal communication amulet.

Meanwhile Kamila planned on calling him as soon as his rune went back online, Lith was speeding through the barren lands of the north. His journey was dull. He didn’t meet any settlement even after flying for hundreds of kilometers at a height that allowed him to check far and wide. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Kaduria was relatively close, yet Lith didn’t plan on going there. At least not before resting. The moment Solus’s mana sense spotted a mana geyser, they checked the surrounding area for kilometers, making sure that any life form in its proximity was just an animal.

After meeting Gadorf the Wyvern, Lith didn’t trust much Evolved Monsters too. He was now reluctant to expose Solus’s existence even to magical beasts. First Scarlett and then Nalear had tried to take her away from him. Both had almost succeeded.
