Supreme Magus - Chapter 614

Chapter 614
"You are right and I know it . " Solus said . "That's the reason I brought you here . Every time we Forgemaster a magical item, I can feel something scratching at the back of my head . Lith's the only one who performs magic, though .





"I want to Forgemaster something myself, but with a weak ass core like mine, I can't do it alone . I need your help to keep the mana circle filled with energy and I'll do the rest . If I'm right, I'll regain another chunk of my memories .

"If that happens, I'll have no choice but to come clean with Lith . If I'm wrong, nothing will happen and we would have just wasted an hour of our time . Are you with me or not?"

"I'm with you, sister . No matter what . " Solus was special for Nyka . She was an 'immortal vampire', just like her, and was also the first friend she had ever had .

"Let's do this . I always wanted to learn true Forgemastery . " Tista said .

"What are we going to make?"

"A cloaking ring . Without it, Lith and I can't ever go separate ways without risking that someone spots my life force . If that happens, our lives would be in constant danger .

"To make one, I need only basic ingredients . An alloy of gold and silver would suffice, but I'll go with Orichalcum instead of silver to achieve a stronger pseudo core than Orion's .





"It's a very simple pseudo core, so even with a deep green mana core like mine I should be able to make it . Even if I fail, it's no big deal . The materials for one ring are negligible . Except for the mana crystal . " Solus whispered that last part, but everyone heard it distinctly .

Tista knew how stingy her brother was and she doubted he would miss the disappearance . As for Nyka, she couldn't care less . Her mother provided her for everything, so she had no concept of expensive or cheap .

Solus took the Bloom Hammer out of her pocket dimension . Both hammers had the same properties, but since she was going to use Bloom Forge for the ring, it seemed the proper choice to her .

Solus melted in a crucible a nugget of gold together with one of purified Orichalcum and then she poured the liquid into a mold, giving the ring its shape . She cooled it with water magic, taking the still white hot metal with thongs and placing it on the Adamant Forge instead of the usual Obsidian one .

'In all of my memories I work with a silvery hammer, using a silvery Forge to enchant something . My guess is that it was all made of adamant, but since I don't have any, Orichalcum will have to do . ' Solus thought .

Another thing that bothered her was the runes of power engraved on all the enchanted items that appeared in her memories . Fake Forgemastery used them to create and stabilize the mana pathways, but they would disappear forever once the process was over .

The true Forgemastery Lith and Solus employed didn't use runes at all, only pure mana . She was certain that master Menadion wouldn't have all of her creations engraved with runes just to make them look cool .

The problem was that even if Solus was right and runes could help to step up their creations, she had no idea what they did nor how to engrave it .

'Carving random runes is bound to make a big boom . Let's hope to regain some memories of them . It would be a wonderful anniversary present for Lith . ' Soon would it be the anniversary of Solus's awakening from her slumber .

Lith considered it like her birthday, but for Solus its significance went beyond that . It was the day when she had gained her family, her best friend, and maybe even more . It was the day when their bond had evolved from the pact between an artifact and its master into a partnership .

She wanted both the secret of the runes and the ring to be her fist gift to Lith . To return something after only having taken from him for so long . Also, it would give her the courage she needed to reveal him her humanoid form .

Unlike Orion, she had no purple crystal . Solus could only Bond the ring with a small blue mana stone . Then, she created the magic circle and let the girls fill it . Solus had to take care of both the hammer and the pseudo core, there was a limit to what her focus could do on her own .

Gold proved to be incredibly resistant to mana, both during the Bonding spell and the Forgemastering process . Solus had chosen to use Bloom Forge because she lacked the raw power necessary to overcome the combined rejection effect of the gold and the mana circulatory system .





Finesse was her only route to success and Bloom Forge was the perfect means to her end . First, she created a small pseudo core and mana pathways, only using the hammer to increase their size once she was certain that she had shaped them to perfection .

Each strike produced a deep green burst of light, yet no memory emerged .

'This is odd . In my memories I was striking directly at the item, not at the magic circle . What significance could it possibly have?' Solus thought .

It took the girls almost two hours to complete the ring and by the time they were done, they were completely exhausted .

"You and my brother are two peas in a pod, Solus . If this is your concept of fun, remind me to take a rain check the next time you invite me . " Tista was covered in sweat, her body aching like it was going to break .

To keep the circle powered up, she had been forced to use Invigoration non stop .

"I'm starving . " Nyka said while trying to not look at Tista like she was a giant cheeseburger . She had no sweat but no Invigoration either . To do her part, she had gone dangerously close to a feeding frenzy .

"I'm sorry, girls . I never realized how hard is to do what I do with the mana geyser . " Solus gave Nyka a jug filled with Lith's blood that she kept in her pocket dimension for her undead friend .

Nyka smelled the delicacy, drinking it in small sips, using the Refine meditation technique in-between gulps . Vampires would get stronger over time by feeding . The stronger the source of blood, the more nutrients they would obtain .

Normal vampires would just drink blood that would be partially processed by their blood core, making it slowly grow in power each time they fed . Even though they were not Awakened ones, some vampires had discovered a technique to refine all the blood they ingested instead of just a small part .

They had shared their knowledge with Kalla and she in turn had passed it onto his daughter . Thanks to Refine, Nyka was able to assimilate most of the mana and light energy inside Lith's blood, allowing her core to grow at a faster rate than normal .

Unlike mana cores, the power of a blood core was determined by how much black energy they still held . The more powerful a blood core was, the less black streaks it had .

According to legends, a perfectly red blood core granted a vampire the ability to turn back into a red cored human at will, overcoming all the limitations of their undead status at the price of all their magic powers as long as they maintained such form .
