Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2595

2595 Tower Upgrade (Part 1)

"Don't cry, Selia." Solus glared at Lith for his lack of empathy and went to the huntress' bedside. "Lith and I can take turns and keep you company until the baby is born"

"Really?" Selia sniffled.

"Really." Solus nodded. "You have my word."

"Good." Selia blew her nose, her voice steady again. "Ryman, Fenrir you are my witnesses. They promised."

"What the heck?" Solus was flabbergasted. "Was that all an act?"

"Not everything, just the tears." Selia shamelessly admitted, snapping her fingers at Protector for snacks. "I do have to stay in bed and everyone has to be quiet. That much is true."

"Why do you think I never told anyone anything, not even to Elina, via the amulet? Because this way you'd feel guilty about neglecting me and be more easily swayed."

"This is just another of your rip-off deals." Solus scoffed. "Just give me one good reason to not take back my offer.

"Because you are a good person and I'm really bored." Selia took Solus' hands in her own and kissed them, quickly followed by a whimpering Fenrir.

Between the mother's and daughter's begging eyes, Solus felt like a monster for backing out despite knowing that the promise had been extorted.

"Help Mommy. Please." Fenrir was a little under three years old and both her forms were as cute as a button.

One looked like a lovely freckled doll with long flaming red hair and the other had big puppy eyes and lowered ears. Shapeshifting from one to another only.

"Auntie? Help?" Fenrir asked after Solus remained silent for a while, calling her auntie for the first time and dealing a critical blow to her maternal instincts.

"Of course we'll help you. Right, Lith?"

"Of course..." Lith swept the air in denial with his hand so Kamila nudged him in the ribs. "Yes."

"Thank you, guys. I'll never forget your kindness." Selia said. "Also, since you are already here, I would like to book you all in advance for magic lessons. I'll need them once I Awaken."

"Wait, what?" Kamila said. "I thought you wanted a normal life. What made you change your mind?"

"This made me change my mind." Selia waved at the pristine condition of the house. "Ever since I've been stuck in bed and Ryman has consistently taken care of the chores, I've realized how much effort it takes for me to achieve the same results of his flick of a finger.

"Kalla and I are still working on Glemos' code and if we don't crack it most of the Tyrant's bloodline legacy will just be a waste of paper and it will take us years to craft a single Harmonizer."

"Is it that bad?" Lith asked.

When he wasn't otherwise busy, he let the Hydra and the Wight borrow the tower for their research. With the Sage Staff in the Armory sharing its focus-enhancing effects and by using could achieve in hours what would otherwise take days of effort.

Kalla had gladly accepted to take part in the research, hoping that she could modify the Harmonizer's Body Sculpting spell so that it would keep her life force and mana core stable when she split them for the final step to become a Lich.

If her hypothesis was correct, it would increase her survival rate by a wide margin.

"Worse. Now let me get back to work. If we don't start, we'll never finish. Faluel out

A feel-good movie and a couple of hours later, Selia had fallen asleep surrounded by the love of her snoring pack.

"Damn, the last thing I needed is another commitment." Lith grumbled after they closed the door behind them and he Hushed the house to not wake up the happy family. "Between the Void Magic lessons, my personal research, and training, I barely have any time left."
