Chapter 255
'Visiting this room is already a sneak peek . Who knows when we'll actually get it? If this is all it can do, then it's pretty terrible . ' She thought .
"Agreed . " Lith replied .
"Mind fusion, remember?" He added in response to her surprise .
Solus felt stupid for a second, then she had a crazy idea that made Lith's skin crawl . He focused on a small pebble in the middle of the street, using spirit magic to move it . Lith could perceive the tendrils of his mana moving through the air, wrapping around the stone .
Moving it was as hard as it was an elephant . Lith tried a series of chore magic spells too before giving up . Fire blackened only a spot the size of a pinhead, water couldn't freeze it even with the weather being already cold and earth magic didn't manage to crack it .
"It's useless . Yes, we can use magic even from this distance, but the effects are negligible . Unless…"
Lith focused on the area surrounding the tower and the image in the mirror changed accordingly . He could see and hear everything in 25 meters (82 feet) radius, like every single stone that composed Solus's body was his eyes and ears .
He could even use Life Vision and Solus's mana sense at will, allowing him to spot all the animals and magical beasts in the vicinity . When he used chore water magic on a dried up tree, it had the same effect of a tier one spell .
"I stand corrected . It doesn't suck at all . I can use it not only to scout everything within its area of effect, but I can also cast spells while being empowered by the tower and the mana geyser . This is a tremendous improvement to our defensive capabilities . " Lith was overjoyed by the discovery .
"I wonder which one of these mirrors controls the arrays . " Solus pondered .
"What arrays?"
"I am bound to have several arrays at my disposal, both for protection and attack . Remember what Jirni said? If every noble household has wards to protect against Warp Steps, I don't think my maker was so dumb to overlook the dangers of dimensional magic . "
Lith was about to move towards a mirror with a square frame, when his vision cracked, as if he was watching through a kaleidoscope . The room seemed to be spinning around, disorienting him and making Lith lose his balance .
"What the heck is happening?" Suddenly the world wasn't so pink anymore . He didn't feel happy or relaxed, just angry .
"I guess our time has ran out . " Solus calmly bit one last pastry while the tower rumbled ominously . The tremors increased while the room was shrinking in size . Countless cracks appeared on the walls .
Like living snakes they spread up to the ceiling, making dust and debris fall on their head .
Lith's mind was too messed up to use dimensional magic for escaping . He couldn't see or focus properly with Solus's mind getting in and out of his own like it was a revolving door .
He could only stumble towards the stairs, but everything happened too fast even for his enhanced body . Huge sections of the ceiling came crashing down, forcing Lith to roll forward to avoid being squashed to death .
A giant piece of stone fell on the stairs, blocking his way .
"F*ck me sideways!" He yelled while the whole room came down .
The rubble weighted more than a ton, but instead of turning him into toothpaste, it simply pushed him down through the floor . The rock beneath his feet became immaterial for a second, letting him fall down to the ground level unharmed .
He hadn't the time to use any spell, yet he was slowly descending through the air as he weighed nothing more than a leaf .
"Why so scared, dummy?" Solus chuckled .
"The tower is my body and so is every single piece of stone and furniture . I would never allow any harm to befall my beloved host . " She smiled .
