Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4409

Chapter 4409: Dualistic Nature (Part 1)

"And you have proved my theory, Lith." Menadion pointed at the pristine walls of the Firing Range. "See? The tower just needs to have a clue of what it’s about to deal with to do its job."

More combined spells and broken rocks later, Lith confirmed the effects of all Dread Elements when interacting with mana. Choke gave the associated element the ability to generate multiple magnetic charges of different signs inside its target.

Different parts of the same body would move faster or slower based on the repulsive and attractive forces they experienced, making precise movements impossible.

Corruption distorted the mana with which it came in contact, having an effect akin to the Clean Slate spell for artifacts and mana poisoning for living beings. On top of that, all the Cursed Elements retained their full destructive power.

"You know, I would be proud of our success if we weren’t just following in Tezka’s footsteps." Lith said in between sipping a tonic after the final battery of tests. "He did all this with full-powered tier four dimensional magic spells and with Mirror Magic at that.

"I used tier one Dread Magic to conjure scaled-down versions of tier four spells, yet I’m already exhausted."

"Don’t be foolish, child." Baba Yaga said. "Tezka is older than history itself can remember. No one but him and maybe the World Tree knows how long the Suneater has roamed Mogar.

"He had countless millennia to master his craft in all branches of magic. If he didn’t achieve that much after working for so long on his own creation, he would be a mediocre mage.

"You, instead, are barely 21 years old and have already achieved a lot without Tezka’s immunity to Decay and innate mastery over Chaos. If that’s not praiseworthy, then we can dismiss Lochra’s legacy as ordinary."

"Thank you for your kind words, Yaga." Lith gave her a polite nod.

"Still so formal." She sighed. "Do I have to take this form to have you relax a bit?"

She shapeshifted into her Maiden form, taking a much younger appearance and becoming just a bit taller than Solus.

"No offense, but you could look like a toddler, and I wouldn’t treat you any differently. I know who you are, and treating you like a peer doesn’t come easy to me." Lith replied.

"I like this form better, though." Solus said. "Now I can look you in the eyes as I reproach you for not having a single word of praise for me."

"You are even younger than Lith is, Epphy." Baba Yaga tilted her head to the side. "Of course, your achievements are impressive, but we were talking about Dread Magic, and you didn’t contribute much since you can’t even practice it."

"Then work hard so that you can teach it to me and I can show you how it’s done." Solus chuckled.

"I’ll do my best." The Maiden replied with a silvery laugh. "Since we are at it, I want to try and use your technique to cast Dread arrays, Solus."

"Good idea, but don’t forget to input the effect you hope to obtain in the Firing Range." She replied. "Arrays don’t discriminate between friend or foe and affect everything within their boundaries. The tower is no exception."

"Good point." One of Baba Yaga’s arms became blue, while the other remained a healthy pink.

She conjured Zero energy in her elemental arm, waiting until she had completely overcome the fear of the tier one runes before accumulating more mana in her free hand.
