Chapter 2009: Red Sun (Part 1)

"See you tomorrow." Friya sighed. "If Raptor is supposed the easy one, I don't want even to imagine what you have in mind for Trouble."

"Lith, do you mind coming with Kami to the tower to rest?" Solus asked. "If I take one step outside, I'll fade away and I don't feel like staying alone today."

"Sure. Be right back." Lith could sense and see how worn out she was.

Solus had used the Hands, Eyes, and Mouth of Menadion during the whole procedure and was now paying the price for it.

Even with the power coming from the mana geyser, both the tower and her core were still too weak to bear the burden of conjuring the three artifacts at the same time, but she had done it for him nonetheless.

The moment Lith Warped out of the Forge, even though he had used his own mana, the distance between them was enough to weaken Solus so much that her body crumbled and she was forced to turn into her wisp form.
