Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3826

Chapter 3826: Ripple Effect (Part 1)

The battle against Ruugat of the Earth had taken place at sunrise and lasted a few minutes, but it was past midnight in Lutia. Despite the late hour, the Verhen family and their guests were all standing in front of the Warp Gate of the Mansion when it opened.

"Mom! Big Brother!" Garrik was the first to reach his loved ones thanks to his wings, hugging the Tyrant and Ryla at the same time. "Welcome back!"

"I’m so proud of all of you-" Elina had yet to take one step forward when Lith doubled over in pain, cutting her short.

"I’ll take care of him, Kami." Tista helped Lith to sit down slowly. "You bring Elysia and Valeron to safety."

"On it!" She bolted away with the utterly confused toddlers at the same time as Solus pretended to Warp away to set the tower into place.

"Mom, Dad, please, there’s nothing to be afraid of." Lith raised his hand with his palm out to keep them at a distance.

"Why should we be-" Before Raaz could complete the sentence, Lith started to pant heavily, his breathing becoming more ragged by the second.

Soon, he needed to put his free hand on the ground to balance himself, and his body started to shapeshift from human to Tiamat every time Lith drifted in and out of consciousness.

"I’ve activated all the healing arrays at our disposal." Solus reappeared a few seconds later. "You should feel better soon."

Lith clenched his head in reply, trying to resist the pain that threatened to split his skull open.

"What’s happening to our son?" Elina grabbed Raaz’s hands in fear, looking at Solus first and then also at Kamila once she walked back through the door.

"Lith might have awakened a lot of new bloodline abilities today." Solus replied.

"Isn’t that a good thing?" Raaz asked.

"Not if your body isn’t capable of handling them." Menadion shook her head. "To make matters worse, Lith activated seven bloodline abilities at the same time right in the middle of the fight..."

The First Ruler of the Flames’ voice trailed off as she remembered she was talking with worried parents. They didn’t need a battle report, but to be reassured of their son’s condition.

"Lith got hurt more than once while he fought the lost city." Kamila chimed in. "He treated his wounds with Invigoration every time, but the repeated healing process took a toll on him."

"Then why is everyone standing there instead of helping him?" Rena asked as she watched the color drain from her brother’s face.

"We are helping him." Solus replied. "The mana geyser and the arrays should help Lith to recover. If it doesn’t work, I’m ready to Warp him outside before he loses consciousness, shapeshifts into a full Tiamat, and squashes everyone into a pulp."

***

A few minutes later, Lith was still pale and panting, but he was no longer on the verge of fainting. The tower had full control of the geyser below the Mansion, not just a fraction like during the fight against Ruugat.

The constant flow of world energy and the healing properties of the tower accelerated Lith’s recovery process. They also alleviated the burden his body had suffered due to the grievous wounds and the activation of his newfound bloodline abilities.

"So that’s why you left Jiera so quickly without saying so much as a goodbye." Elina said after witnessing a doctored version of the battle via a mind link.
