Supreme Magus - Chapter 603

Chapter 603
"I can't believe it . I've worked on the armor for less than an hour and I'm way more tired than after we crafted the hammer . " Lith said while checking his pocket watch .





"It's perfectly normal . The hammer required a single core, whereas this time you fused four cores of the same power together . " Solus said .

"Handling that kind of energy for an hour while repairing any deformation the clash between five different kinds of mana induced is much more difficult than working six hours and a half on a single core . By the way, I'm beat too . I need time to recuperate . " Solus wheezed .

Lith had never heard of a tower being out of breath, but he could feel the energy in the tower being somewhat diminished .

"We'll continue tomorrow . " Lith said .

"What about Zinya's procedure?"

"Fine! The day after tomorrow . "

"You have an appointment with Vastor scheduled for that day . " Solus said, making Lith erupt in a streak of swear words .

Lith went inside the bathroom for a long bath . He had over an hour of time and planned to make it count . He arrived at Kamila's early, using the time before she returned home to run simulations with Solus to understand how to compensate for the unexpected complication .

'The boost the final pseudo core receives from the Orichalcum makes it impossible for us to succeed . What if we lower the output of 30%?' Lith thought .

'It would be enough if we were using a single core . There's four of them, so you have to take into account the energy necessary to keep them both merged and in the correct shape . I'd start with 50% . It leaves you enough mana in case another unexpected complication arises . '





'50%? It's a waste of blue crystals, Orichalcum, and ingredients!' Lith rebuked .

'Yeah, but so is another failure . 50% is a reasonable amount and allows us to test the waters . If we succeed, at least we'll have a starting point, whereas another failure would teach us nothing . '

Lith was pondering Solus's words so hard that he completely missed Kamila's arrival . Seeing him brooding with a dejected look threw her into a panic .

"Lith are you alright? It's everything okay with your family?" Knowing his talent at risking his life at least once a day, she was worried he could be hurt . She touched his shoulder, chest, and arms searching for injuries .

"I'm fine and so is my family, don't worry . " His answer only made her worry more since he kept staring blankly . Light magic could heal any kind of wound, but not those to his wallet . Lith was almost grieving for his most recent failure .

"Is it for Zinya? Is her situation so bad? Did Fallmug beat her or something?" She shook him, to force Lith looking her in the eyes while answering .

"No, no, and no . " He checked his communication amulet, just to be safe .

"Then what's the matter? Speak to me, please" She asked .

Seeing how worried she was for him, almost on the verge of tears, made Lith feel like a jerk .






'I can't tell her I'm grieving for a failed experiment . She would think I'm a self-centered, stingy, idiot . Solus, analysis!' He thought .

'If you ever plan to reveal to her at least as much as you did with Phloria, you can't hide your flaws . Just be honest with her . Besides, she already knows about the stinginess and you're not very self-centered . ' She giggled .

Lith told her the truth . She waited patiently until he finished expressing his gripes before saying:

"Idiot! You made me worry for nothing . "

'All according to keikaku . ' Solus thought .

"I'm really sorry about your materials, but the important thing is that nothing happened to you . " She sat on Lith's lap, putting her arms around his neck before giving him a soft kiss .

Lith returned her embraced and his arms ran along Kamila's hair and hips, making her arch her back in pleasure . They started to kiss with growing passion, forgetting all about their daily worries as electricity seemed to course through their skin every time they touched .

"Is it better now?" She said . Her voice was a soft moan, making his morale raise among other things .

"Very much . "

"I'm too tired to cook and I assumed it would be the same for you, so I reserved a table for us at the Velorian . We need to hurry, otherwise we'll get late . " She said while standing up .





She noticed his disappointed expression and quickly added:

"It's barely seven pm, silly . We have all evening and night . We didn't have a date in weeks and I really miss your company . Would you have dinner with me? My treat, so you'll forget about your financial losses . " She chuckled .

"I'm okay going out for dinner, but not with you paying the bill . " Lith replied and his stomach grumbled in approval . Even if it had been a failure, the Forgemastering experiment had drained his energy .

"It's my treat, to apologize for giving you a scare . Also, it's not like saving a few copper coins can hurt after having already lost around twenty gold coins . That without taking the Orichalcum into account, since it has no market price . "

His words made Kamila choke on her laugh . Twenty gold coins was more than Manohar would ask to treat Zinya's blindness . A single gold coin was worth a hundred silver coins . Even a Constable was paid in silver .

The amount Lith described was enough to buy a house .

"That much?" Suddenly his gloomy disposition was much more relatable .

"Yes, but I'm likely to waste more . One has to fail a lot before succeeding . " He sighed .

The food was nice and the wine excellent . Lith told Kamila about Elina's gripes on his work schedule and her intentions of kidnapping her if he didn't spend more time with his family .

"Tell her that I'm a-okay with that . She just has to knock out my boss and I'm all hers . " Kamila said .

Between the cheery mood and Kamila's soothing presence, Lith was finally able to relax after weeks of unrelenting work, fight, or training . His body felt light and the anxiety that had been clouding his mind during the last two days disappeared .

'Man, I'm so glad we got out for dinner . I really needed a break . ' Lith thought .

'Yeah, I wonder where I heard those same exact words before . Oh yeah, it was me! You just didn't listen, like usual . ' Solus was pissed off, yet she took note of all the ideas that were popping in Lith's now clear mind .

"I'm sorry to ruin the mood, but I have to tell you . " Kamila said .

"What you did today for Zinya was amazing . I brought you with me because I wanted you to reassure her, but you did so much more . You gave my sister hope and even allowed her to see me for the first time .

"I can't thank you enough for that . I've never thought I'd see Zinya so happy, it meant the world for me . "

"You're not ruining anything . When my sister was ill, I felt the same as you do . " Lith said, giving her the strength to ask the question that had tormented her since yesterday .

"Is it everything alright between us?" Kamila asked .

"What do you mean?" Lith had no idea what she was talking about .
