Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4263

Chapter 4263: Weak and Strong (Part 1)

"I can keep the old pseudo cores in stasis for you." Salaark replied. "If my Featherlings find a way to use Strife’s same enchantment for your Blade Weapon, you won’t need more ingredients.

"Yet if they don’t, there is no way to preserve that kind of energy without its original vessel, and I’ll have to let them dissipate. I’m sorry."

"It’s way more than I could ask for." Faluel gave the Overlord a deep bow. "What’s our next move?"

"We go back to the Mansion. Ral included." Lith said. "Feel free to join us, Grandma."

The tower Warped back to Lutia with a new passenger, and the Verhens welcomed Lith’s return and Salaark’s arrival with deep sighs of relief. Lith was powerful, but the Guardian would respond to anyone so much as upsetting the baby with an extinction-level event.

"Okay." Lith said after returning to the Forge and donning the Ears of Menadion. "Start by conjuring your favorite spells, Faluel. We’ll start from there."

The procedure turned out to be slightly different from the one Lith and Solus had used for the Sage Staff. They cast the spells right after Faluel, sometimes finding them wanting or jarring.

When that happened, they had to switch a few runes until the spell flowed best and its rhythm matched Faluel’s mana flow when she used her own version of the spell.

"Here. Wear this." Solus handed the Hydra what looked like a thick black bag.

"Why?" Faluel studied the cloth, noticing that it possessed a powerful cloaking enchantment.

"We don’t want to share our Forgemastering techniques with you." Solus replied. "That thing will keep you from studying our cloaking runes during the preparatory phase. It will cover you down to the shoulders, so that no extra head can slip out by ’accident’."

"And the cloaking spell of the bag will block Life Vision. Thank you for your trust." Faluel clicked her tongue, her voice oozing sarcasm.

"You are welcome." Lith replied.

Faluel put the bag on her head after Lith and Solus were done Bonding, and kept it on until they applied the seven rune patterns.

"The preparatory phase is done, but we still need your presence." Lith said. "I have an idea of how to weave the different enchantments into the power core, but without you, I have no way to check if it works.

"Based on what we’ve learned from crafting Solus’ Sage Staff, it will also require more fine-tuning by checking the power core’s mana flow with your own when you cast spells with both true magic and body casting.

"Unless all three match to perfection, we’ll fail to craft a Blade Weapon for you. Feel free to stay with us for lunch. Everyone will be happy to see you again."

"With pleasure." Faluel nodded.

She received a warm welcome from the Verhens and a tight embrace from Elina. Lith’s mother would never thank Faluel enough for rescuing Surin, nor had she forgiven herself for losing the baby girl during the attack.

"I hope you are hungry, because I prepared a feast." Salaark said, and she was being literal.

There was plenty of food for everyone, enough to sate the Divine and Emperor Beasts at the table. To make the meal even more enjoyable, every dish was beyond delicious.

"My mom is the best cook in the world!" Shargein licked his plate clean.

"Thank you, sweetie." Salaark lifted the over three meters (10’) tall Wyrmling as if he weighed no more than Raldarak, peppering his face with kisses. "Mommy practiced hard for you."

’And the best part is that I didn’t spend a dime on this.’ Lith felt his wallet as swollen as his stomach.
