Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4312

Chapter 4312: Scattered Elements (Part 2)

"Don’t apologize, Yaga." Lith shook his head. "This is far from a waste of time. You are facing the same struggle that Solus and the others will have to overcome before they can use Dread Magic.

"The better your understanding of scattered elements, the easier it will be for you to teach your technique to others and the faster they will learn."

"I couldn’t have said it better." Solus gave him the thumbs up, ignoring the frown on her mother’s and her friend’s faces.

"Then don’t mind me if I do." By the time Baba Yaga mastered tier three Zero Spells and managed to body cast them without losing a limb, Kamila called everyone for lunch.

They resumed the training immediately after the meal, starting their practice over from Chaos and focusing on the scattered Decay. Once Baba Yaga reached a sufficient grasp on Chaos, they moved back to Cinder.

"This is an incredibly rewarding experience." Lith panted.

Even with the support of the tower, the rich flow of world energy released from the Lodestar, and the rest he got while waiting for Baba Yaga to be done with her exercises, the practice of Dread Magic was demanding on the mind, the body, and the mana core.

Even the chore magic spells actually conjured two Cursed Elements, and both required a high degree of focus not to hurt their caster. Also, Dread Spell consumed lots of mana, causing mana abuse as fast as Spirit Magic.

After several hours of relentless practice, Lith needed a break.

"That’s an understatement." Baba Yaga had switched to her Crone form to ease the burden on her Mother form. "Threading a new path is always exciting. We are the first mages on Mogar to have understood a new form of magic.

"We are now equals to Tezka when he invented dimensional magic and to Salaark when she invented Creation Magic."

"You didn’t invent it on your own?" Solus asked.

"I sure did, but I already knew it existed." The Red Mother shrugged. "It made things easier, and finding the path someone else has already trodden is much less exciting than finding it yourself."

"Speaking of Grandma, I’m afraid we have to start adding cloaking runes to our Dread Spells, like she does when she uses Creation Magic in front of witnesses." Solus said.

"Otherwise, Dragons might sooner or later crack Dread Magic with Dragon Eyes, while the Master’s hybrids could resonate with it and learn stable Cursed Runes on their own."

"A fair point." Lith sighed. "Yet that’s not what I’m worried about now."

"You’re worried?" Baba Yaga echoed in disbelief. "About what?"

"Maybe it’s just my rampant paranoia talking, but isn’t this too easy?" Lith replied. "I expected to learn a thing or two about Dread Magic and maybe start researching if it’s possible to use stable Cursed Runes to cast arrays.

"Instead, we came up with several spells for the first three tiers of Dread Magic for all the Cursed Runes we are aware of, and I even found a way to harness the power of Dread Magic safely.

"I can’t help but think that progressing this fast is not natural. That maybe, we are under the influence of an unknown force that’s lulling us in a false sense of security to..." Lith’s words trailed off as Menadion and the Crone stared at him as if he had grown a second head.
