Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4431

Chapter 4431: Unique Combination (Part 1)

"Something that, luckily for us, Dhiral can’t conceive yet. An experiment under controlled conditions." Lith said.

"Is that really necessary?" Elina swallowed hard.

"Mom, unless you plan on keeping Surin and Dripha away from the other babies until they grow up, sooner or later they are bound to see the Rune Stores."

"No way! At that age, socializing is of the utmost importance." Elina replied. "I bet that if Manohar the First didn’t feel so isolated all his life, he might have grown into a good man. A decent man. A non-Manohar."

Marth and Ryssa felt the same and let their son spend as much time as they could with Shargein. Dragon Eyes allowed the Wyrmling to understand everything Dhiral said, while his unique upbringing allowed him to teach the baby boy just as much.

"Then we have only two choices, Mom." Lith said. "Either we don’t give the baby girls the Rune Stores and potentially cripple their magical education, or we let them have their toys and prepare for the moment Ely gets her hands on them."

"Let’s go with the second option." Elina sighed. "I don’t want Surin to endure unnecessary struggles. Also, maybe Ely can help us understand the danger the Rune Stores pose, and we can teach her how to use them properly."

Lith brought the baby girl to the room and sent Valeron to keep Raldarak company.

"Dya! Dada!" Elysia bolted to Lith’s chest. "Mished ya!"

She hugged him tight before flying around the room and welcoming everyone back.

"Good gods, Ely." Kamila chuckled as she peppered the baby girl’s face with kisses. "You haven’t seen us in minutes, not days. Are you becoming a spoiled little imp?"

"Nah!" Elysia dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. "Mished ya!"

"I missed you too, baby girl." Solus said, combing Elysia’s soft hair with her fingers. "Can you please tell us what you make of this?"

"Wah?" Elysia took the water Rune Store Solus offered her, sniffing, squeezing, and biting it.

"See? What did I tell you? It’s just a toy." Menadion crossed her arms in triumph.

"Or maybe it takes Ely more than three seconds to learn how to use an unknown tool without guidance." Lith replied

"If you ask me, she seems to have already mastered her craft." Menadion snorted as the baby girl squeezed the toy over and over.

"We’ll see." Lith sat back and smiled at his daughter. "Let her have her fun."

A few minutes of Elysia giggling and tormenting her new toy later, Menadion had the smuggest "I told you so" grin Lith had ever seen.

"Well, the good news is that thing is just a harmless toy." She said. "The even better news is that I was ri-"

Elysia had just let go of the Rune Store, but instead of falling to the ground, it was floating before her. Everyone present activated Life Vision to check for an invisible tendril of Spirit Magic, and discovered that the toy was soaked with water magic instead.

"That’s why Manohar the Second calls them Rune Stores." Lith inwardly cursed. "They work as a medium between mana and elemental energy. The concentric pattern of the runes allows the toys to retain their corresponding element even if supported by a minuscule amount of mana."
