Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3980

Chapter 3980: Poisoned Blade (Part 1)

While staring at the drawing of the hand sign and the magic word for the Zero Cursed Element, Lith felt as though he were staring at a very sharp blade coated in poison. It was dangerous even for its wielder, had to be handled with care, and every part of it was deadly save for the hilt.

"What about you, Solus?"

"I feel terror." She swallowed hard. "The moment I look away from the paper, the magic word gets blurred in my mind and I’m happy for that."

"It must be because of your cracked life force and mana core, sweetie." Menadion said. "Mirror Magic is more dangerous for you than for an average person."

"What about Lith?" Kamila asked. "His mana core is healthy, but his life force is cracked as well. Why doesn’t he feel fear?"

"Because he carries the Cursed Elements as well." Leegaain replied. "They are not as stable as those in Elysia’s life force, but they still grant him a resistance to Mirror Magic. I mean, as a practitioner. He is still vulnerable to Cursed Elements like anybody else."

"Then it’s settled." Lith said. "I have to learn the basic spells of Mirror Magic that Elysia knows." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"What? Why?" Kamila asked, jumping from her seat.

"Because someone has to, and I’m the only one who can." Lith replied. "Mirror Magic is faster and deadlier than normal spells, Kami. Now everything is fine, but if Elysia throws a tantrum, someone has to stop her.

"I can react in time and neutralize a Cursed Element with its opposite before someone gets hurt or worse."

"What about the protection of the Guardians?" Solus swallowed hard.

"We protect Elysia and Raldarak only. We have no care for those who may get struck by the spells of the babies." Salaark shook her head. "Moreover, once Ral is born, Kamila will be on her own."

The Verhens stared at her in disbelief, feeling betrayed.

"Wait, that came out wrong." Salaark raised her hands with the palms out. "You are safe under my roof. I meant that once you go back to the Kingdom, the rules of my hospitality don’t apply."

"Thanks, Mother." Raaz sighed in relief.

"You are welcome, Featherling."

"This is excellent news, but it puts me on a deadline." Lith rubbed his chin. "I’ll have to use our time in the Desert wisely."

"I can’t save you from yourself, Featherling." Salaark said. "I can heal your wounds, but unless I am right beside you, I can’t stop a Mirror spell gone awry before you get hurt."

"Thanks, but there won’t be a need for that." Lith replied. "I’ll practice in the Firing Range after confirming that the tower can conjure Mirror Magic spells safely."

"The counter spell settings!" Menadion said in understanding. "You’re going to set the Firing Range to neutralize your Mirror Magic spells, whether they succeed or not, to keep yourself safe."

"Exactly." Lith nodded. "The Firing Range will be my safety net, and Solus’ Immortal Body array will treat my injuries until Grandma arrives."

"Couldn’t you set something like this inside our home as well?" Kamila asked. "I mean, entrusting the tower to seal Elysia’s powers so that you don’t have to take so many risks to learn Mirror Magic?"

"I could, but there are two problems with your idea." Lith replied. "Elysia is smart and kind. After we told her not to use Chaos magic, she never did it again. It’s unlikely she’ll use any other Cursed Element while in the safety of our home.
