Supreme Magus - Chapter 334

Chapter 334






"I always wanted her to be strong and independent, but now that she's gone, I don't give a damn about all that cr*p . Why didn't Lith stop her? He was still a bit young, but he could still marry if his parents gave their approval . "

"That's rich coming from you!" Jirni scoffed . "Maybe if instead of messing with my plans you had helped me, things would be different . Or maybe, Lith knew her well enough to understand he couldn't stop her .

"Nothing is lost, yet . She is in the army and he will join the army in the future . Now, enough sulking . Quylla needs us more than ever . "

***

Lith's house, same moment .

After over six months, Lith and Phillard had reached a critical moment in their endeavour . The impurities in the Kroxy's body were so close to his bright cyan core that they could almost touch .

"Okay, I've done all that I can . " Lith said .

"I've brought you over a mana geyser for your training, I have used Invigoration to help you feel the world energy, and pushed the impurities closer to your core whenever it wasn't painful for you . The last step it's on you . "

"Don't worry, I can feel resistance but no discomfort . " Phillard replied .

Even after all that time, he still had to learn Invigoration . The Kroxy's mana perception was even worse than Lith's when he had just started the academy .

It was only thanks to Lith's training schedule and his natural attunement to magic that Phillard was able to crudely stimulate his own core .





"I swear, this thing feels like I'm taking the biggest sh*t of my life!" Phillard couldn't stop laughing from excitement . He was filled to the brim with an unknown energy that made him euphoric .

Suddenly, the night sky cleared . Phillard's body emitted a blinding radiance, but unlike normal light it didn't spread in all directions, only upwards . Even using darkness magic and his hands as a shield, Lith could barely stand the intensity the light pillar emitted .

It slowly grew in height and width, until a second light pillar descended from the sky . It connected itself with the smaller one coming out from Phillard . The phenomenon gave Lith an oddly familiar sensation .

'This feeling it's too similar to what I experience during my transformations to be a coincidence . What the f*ck is happening?' He thought .

'Beats me . ' Solus replied . 'The only thing I know is that Phillard's core is evolving . '

The Kroxy's body started to expand in all directions until his arms became as big as small trees . After that, it only grew in length . When everything was over, Lith was staring at a ten meters (33') long serpentine body covered by emerald scales as big as a small shield .

The head resembled that of a dragon from Earth's fairy tales, with several small horns surrounding the neck area like a mane . Phillard's legs had been replaced by a long tail, while his clawed arms seemed able to rip even a stone house to shreds .


"Yes! I knew it! I always knew I was destined to become…"

The light faded and so did the Evolved Monster's awareness .

"What am I?" He asked to Lith while scratching his gigantic head .





Lith accessed the bestiaries he had copied from the academy and stored inside Soluspedia before answering .

"You are a Lindwurm . " He said while clicking his tongue .

"All this work and you're not even a new species . Protector at last isn't derivative . "

"I'm not derivative!" Phillard roared . He had no idea what the word meant but he was sure it had to be some kind of insult .

"I'm a…" He stuttered a few times .

"What am I again?"

"A Lindwurm . " Lith snarled . "A lesser dragon . Like a wyvern but wingless and with a very long a*s . According to my books, you should possess some kind of toxic breath . "

"Really? Cool!" Phillard took a deep breath from the nose, emitting a gurgling sound before spitting an enormous mass of phlegm against the nearest tree .

"Why it's not melting?" The Lindwurm looked at the birch tree like it had betrayed him .

"I said toxic breath, not sputum . " Lith replied .

"How do I do that?"





"How should I know? You are the Lindwurm . You'll figure it out . " Lith shrugged .

"Ugh! It sounds like a lot of work . Let's spar already!" Phillard towered over Lith standing 5 meters tall while his tail whipped the air in excitement .

"It would be a waste of time . You have just evolved . You have no control over your body, not to mention you suck at magic . Maybe you are physically stronger than me now, but I've killed bigger and more powerful beings than you . "

"We'll see!" Phillard darted towards Lith like a train . His new body was much nimbler and faster than the old one . He clapped his huge hands trying to squash the opponent, but once again he only hit the air .

Lith had long learned true dimensional magic, which allowed him to Blink above Phillard's head .

"Bad Lindwurm . Sit!" Lith stamped his left foot using a combination of air, fire, and earth fusion while using air magic to drop down like a meteor . The foot exerted the same impact an elevator in free fall from the sixth floor would .

The dragon like head crashed on the ground with a rumbling sound, creating a small crater on impact .

"I yield . " Phillard hated Lith, especially when he was right . The problem was it happened most of the time . Neither of them had used his true strength, but the quick exchange had been more than enough to prove the difference in skill between the two .

"How did you…"

"Magic . Until now you could only use water and earth . I already taught you everything you need to know about first magic and all the other elements . Practice on your own . Our deal is over . " Lith said while walking towards his home .

"Wait! I need new axes and something to carry them . "

"Why is that my problem?" Lith replied .

"You have nothing I want and I don't work for free . " Lith said . "Don't even think about plundering this area . There's nothing valuable and if someone pays me, I'll be more than happy to get rid of you . "

"Dude, that's cruel . I never needed money . I don't even know how to get back home . Boss Scarlett Warped me here with one of those fancy portals . Can't you do the same? If earlier going unnoticed was hard, now it's impossible!" Phillard whined .

"Again, not my problem . " Lith was tired of dealing with the Lindwurm . He always managed to give him a headache .

"Scourge, was that your doing?" Even though they hadn't met in years, Lith immediately recognized that voice .

"Of course it was me . Nice to finally see you again, Reaper . I was starting to think you were avoiding me . "

Reaper the Shyf, one of the two remaining Kings of the woods, didn't reply immediately .

"Actually, I was . Since Protector's disappearance, there is something wrong about you . It scares us greatly . "

"What changed your mind?" Lith asked .

"We are desperate for help . " Reaper admitted . "You never took interest in your role of King, leaving your turn in our hands . Now that Protector is gone, we lack the strength to defend our land from humans and monsters both .

"Those who replaced the two of you are too weak . Can you help us evolve too? Otherwise it's only a matter of time before something bad happens . "
