Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041 Two Sides of the Same Pain Part 1

’I don’t know what her mage tower can do nor I’m willing to find out. Baba Yaga already knows too much. We can’t afford to reveal any more of our hand to her.’ Solus thought.

Eight hours after his breakthrough, Lith woke up. Even though his body absorbed the world energy on its own and the tower further boosted his recovery abilities, Lith still felt like crap. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Once again, after the core and body refining, Invigoration had no effect and could only be used to assess his physical condition.

’My bright blue core is half empty and my body has yet to stabilize.’ He thought while checking his pocket watch. ’Usually, it takes me just four hours of sleep in the tower to reset Invigoration’s effects, yet even after double that time, I’m barely able to stand.

’With each new breakthrough, the changes are so deep that this time I might need a few days before I can use either of my breathing techniques safely.’

Before even checking with the tower how and where everyone was, Lith called Kamila.

"Hi, Kami. Sorry to keep you waiting..."

"You disappeared for over half a day!" She cut him short. "I don’t want apologies, just tell me that you are alright."

Kamila was still wearing the same clothes she had when Lith had left and judging by the state of the room, she had yet to let the cleaning service in, sleep, or eat.

"I’m alright, babe, don’t worry." His words made her sigh in relief and flop into bed.

Kamila had no strength to look for her pajamas so she just stripped to her undies, giving Lith an adrenaline rush until the blankets covered her.

"Thank the gods. Now talk to me until I fall asleep. Why did it take so long? Did you get hurt badly?" She asked.

"Not really. Phloria’s Awakening took a few hours and after that, I underwent a breakthrough as well. I called as soon as I regained consciousness, I have yet to check on her." Lith replied.

"Really?" Kamila giggled. "So now the powerful Archmage Verhen is even more powerful. When are you coming back? My leave ends in a few days and I miss you like crazy."

"Shouldn’t you ask me what happened or how Phloria and everyone is?" Lith said.

"Nah. If you’re so calm it means that the bad guys are dead and your friends are okay. I’ll hear the details on your return, hopefully for breakfast. Now I just want to enjoy your company and hear only good news." Kamila yawned.

"Things went smoothly thanks to Protector, Nalrond, and Tista who gave me a hand."

"Say hi to them for me. Gods, I’m so happy that now I can talk about everything with them as well. Keeping your many secrets doesn’t help my social life." Kamila stretched her lithe arms while looking for the most comfortable position.

"Will do. I’ll get back as soon as I finish teaching Phloria the ropes. The rest can..." A small plop and the weird new angle of the hologram told Lith she was already asleep.

He closed the call and used his bond with the tower to check on the others. Aside from Phloria, everyone was up and having breakfast in the dining room. Lith stomach grumbled like a lion, demanding its due.

"Hi, guys, hope you slept well. Why the different location?" Lith asked after joining them.

"Solus..." Quylla attempted to say, but Lith’s and Solus’s eyes exchanged colors again due to their mind link. "Gods, don’t do that in front of others. It’s creepy."
