Supreme Magus

d to the cyan core, keeping it stable and allowing it to slow down the mana leak.

Lith ’s own core was linked with Solus ’s, providing it with more energy than it lost over time and slowly nurturing the damaged core.

The shock left Lith with his mouth agape.
He stared at Solus with eyes wide open for a few minutes, incapable of speaking a word.

”By my maker, you should see your face. ” She chuckled.
”If anyone saw you now, they would think that I just told you that I ’m pregnant. ”

For a long time, Solus had an energy slate with only eyes and a mouth for a face, but now that they were so close, Lith could almost see her nose and cheekbones.

”Didn ’t you wonder why it took me so long to gain my wisp form and reach the green core whereas I quickly refined a cyan core after achieving my energy body? As I told you before, being apart did me good.

”Remaining at your finger nurtures my human core, of which I was in desperate need after almost dying of starvation.
Yet it ’s by tapping into a mana geyser that I can nurture my tower core back to its full strength.

”A living core, no matter how powerful, cannot empower something so big and complex as a mage tower, only a mana geyser can.
After we started to spend more time on our own, my tower core managed to reassemble itself thanks to the constant exposure to the mana geyser.

”The more my tower core grows in power, the more stable my human core becomes and the more efficiently I can process the energy I receive from you.
Tista and I have studied the phenomenon for a while and together we reached the same conclusions.

”The good news is that now I more or less know why Master Menadion did this to me and the bad news is that I ’m screwed.
Maybe I failed my breakthrough, or maybe someone killed me.

”Whatever happened, my core cracked, bringing me beyond what even today ’s healing magic can repair.
To give me more time, Master Menadion somehow fused me with her tower, using its power core and the massive amounts of energy it draws from the geysers to keep me stable.

”Unluckily, either the strain killed her or whoever did this to me came back to finish the job and killed Menadion as well.
Last, but not least, whenever we are together in the tower, like now, my recovery speed skyrockets.

”It ’s still damn slow and I have no idea when flesh will replace energy, but you ’ve seen the progress I made.
I can be human again.
In the future, maybe I ’ll be able to keep my body without the tower, to have a normal life. ”

Solus gave Lith a radiant smile and took his hands into hers.

”Why do you say you ’re screwed, then? ” Lith dragged Solus closer, embracing her with the foolish hope that physical contact would help her to recover faster.

He discovered that not only her body ’s warmth was now no different from a regular person, but she also smelled good whereas in the past she had no smell.

”Because a cracked core cannot be healed. ” Her smile disappeared, but Lith couldn ’t notice it with her face buried in his shoulder.
”Saving Protector almost killed you and you wouldn ’t have even succeeded without Scarlett ’s help.

”Even once both my cores go back to their full strength, I will always be dependent on our bond to survive.
I will be a burden for you and force you to take care of me no matter what kind of life you ’re going to build for yourself. ”
