Supreme Magus novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627.3 Birthday and Anniversary Part 2

"Or maybe it was just the result of a failed experiment. The really important question is: do you really want to spend your birthday working or do you have anything in mind?" Lith asked.

"I actually do." Solus took a small package from a secret compartment in the walls.

"Happy anniversary, Lith."

He destroyed the gift paper, revealing a cylindrical ring made of an alloy of gold and Orichalcum, with a blue mana gem set in the middle of it.

"The cloaking ring! That's why you didn't rush me making one. Does it have any special abilities?" Lith's Orichalcum armors had proven to be better than he had planned. The adamant was able to enhance a pseudo core in unexpected ways.

"Not that I'm aware of." Solus said.

Lith imprinted the ring before slipping it on his right forefinger.

"How does my mana core look like now?"

"Red, and your life force appears to be at human levels."

"Interesting. Normal cloaking items do not affect the life force. Maybe it depends on the fact that I'm wearing two at once. Let's see if it works the same for you too." Lith put the ring on Solus's right hand, but she felt her heart pounding anyway.

Her light body disappeared with a pop and her dress fell to the ground.

"Fuuuuu…" Solus's voice made the tower's wall tremble for several seconds until she managed to make her body reappear.

"…ck! That cost me a lot of stamina. We can't check the effects on me until I return in my gauntlet form. To add insult to injury, I don't have much time left before I need to rest. Taking human form drains a lot of energy." She said, her mood was getting worse by the second. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

"Then revert to your wisp form. I don't want you to disappear in the middle of dinner. We've waited for too long for the moment when we could share a meal together." Lith said with a sigh.

They spent the time before supper studying the unknown blade. The metal it was made of was nothing special, the mana crystals it was fused with were just cyan, and its pseudo core was rather simple.

If not for the runes, Lith wouldn't have given it a second look.

"I don't get what purpose can engraving runes have. There's nothing special in this blade. Its mana pathways, its mana circulatory system, and even its pseudo core is insignificant."

"Maybe they have a special effect. We should try it out." Solus was out of options. She couldn't find any reason to waste time engraving runes as well.

Lith reluctantly imprinted the blade with his mana. He would have preferred not doing it, because the weapon would have no market value until the moment he died. Solus created a test room, using earth magic to shape several dummies of different durability.

The sword made short work of those as hard as wood, but was unable to put a dent on rocks. Lith channeled his mana through the pseudo core and activated its effect. The pseudo core suddenly grew in size and power, yet the mana pathways remained stable.

The excess energy was drawn to the runes and spread across the entire weapon. A split second later, several air blades cut down all the remaining dummies, even the ones made of stone, before hitting the tower walls.

"Damn, that was unexpected. Are you alright, Solus?"

"Yeah, don't worry. That thing is too weak to hurt me. Do you think what I think?"
