Chapter 738 Attacking Aunt

Chapter 738 Attacking Aunt

Fixation of the runes began with Lith focusing on the one right below him.

As he tried to sense what was wrong in it and what fix it needed, a fascinated expression appeared on his face.

This tune contained quite a bit of complexity and the knowledge needed to fix it was really profound.

An average person would never be able to understand what was wrong with this rune, let alone trying to correct it, such was the deep knowledge ingrained in it.

Drawing a few lines on the ground with his sharp nail imbued with Space elemental energy, Lith solved the very first logical error in it.

The rune was about bending the fabric of space and the logic contained within it to bend space was to place an extremely heavy object.

Lith fixed it by replacing the heavy object with an object that bent not just Space, but also Time, for the fabric of space, although deemed as something related to space, was in fact a mesh of finely woven elemental energies of both Space and Time.

Once the error was fixed, the rune glowed and then disappeared from the hall.

Mayzin, going through her phone, said with an unamused tone, "took you long enough."

Lith didn't respond to that. He was admiring the rune and hence wasted some time.

Going onto the next rune, it was related to Lightning.

Analyzing this rune, Lith understood that its purpose was to channel and control Lightning energy. However, the flaw within it caused erratic surges of electricity instead of controlled Lightning manipulation.

The logical problem within it was a faulty conditional statement that determined the energy's behavior, fixing it needed knowledge on analyzing the environmental factors such as humidity and atmospheric pressure.

This time around, since Lith wasn't wasting time, he got the rune fixed quickly and went on to the next one.

There were no comments from Mayzin and Lith took it as he did a good job.

One rune after another, Lith got absorbed into fixing and learning more about the Space and Lightning elements.

Four days passed.

As Lith fixed one rune after another, his attainment rose and expanded his knowledge regarding the two elements.

This caused a snowball effect and eventually after working hard day and night, Lith made all the runes in this room disappear.

The start was slow but towards the end, he was fixing two to three runes per second!

There was such clarity as well as knowledge within Lith's mind currently that he had to sit and digest it properly.

It took him a day and a half to do so and once done, he opened his eyes slowly and his gaze fell on his aunt, who was busy reading a scroll of some sort.

A serious glint flashed in Lith's calm amethyst eyes and he instantly vanished from his spot.

CLANG!

Lith attacked Mayzin's neck from behind with a sword but she easily blocked it by extending her hand back and placing a finger in between her neck and the sword.

"Futile attacks, my dear nephew." Mayzin commented as if this was all normal.

Her words had no effect on Lith, who willed the Space element around it and made everything below him bend and disappear.

In the next instant, with purple streaks of Lightning coiling all around his body and sword, Lith hacked his sword straight at Mayzin's eyes.

Mayzin, busy reading the manuscript, didn't even bother to look up, just extended her hand up and blocked the sword by holding it in between her thumb and index finger.

"I told you, it's futile." Mayzin said and pinched her fingers, breaking the sword and sending Lith flying.

Lith crashed on the wall that was cleaned off the runes by him. His body dug inside it by a few inches and his spine broke from the crash.

Lith started bleeding from his head and felt great pain from having his bones broken all over his body.

Ptui!

Lith spat a mouthful of blood at the side and pulled himself out of the wall while his natural regeneration ability started healing him.

He coupled it with a Life spell and provided extra boost to have faster healing.

In just a few seconds, although his clothes were tattered, Lith was ready for another attack.

The fabric of space folded right in front of him and from above Mayzin's head, he came crashing down like a meteor.

With gauntlets in his hands this time, Lith sent a heavy punch at his aunt's skull.

Mayzin didn't look up or get up from her chair, she merely tilted her head at an angle and...

CRRRAAACCCKKK!

One of her horns that protruded out from her forehead was what Lith hit with his punch.

His gauntlet as well as his hand passed through the horn as if it was butter passing over a hot knife and shattered completely.

Lith's entire arm was sliced into two halves due to this punch, and thankfully he willed the Space element around him and teleported away, saving his whole body from getting sliced.

There was darkness for an instant as he teleported away, but the next thing he saw was the hall's ceiling, followed by,

Poof!

Lith's back fell on something soft and in his vision appeared his aunt's beautiful face.

Mayzin, having Lith fall on her lap and now looking at him, said with a neutral look while staring at him,

"Nephew, have you finally lost your mind?"

Lith cleared his throat and spoke, "I wanted to test what I learnt."

Mayzin blinked in confusion and asked, "Test how? By attacking me?"

"Yes." Lith didn't even hesitate to answer.

Mayzin was dumbfounded with the answer.

Instead of letting his aunt give him an earful, Lith immediately said, "though... I wanna know, why am I on your lap right now? Not that I hate it."

Mayzin stared at Lith with visible stupefaction and answered, "with how aggressively you bent space after getting your hand cut, you were going to fall face down on the ground at a really high speed and turned into meat paste. I didn't want to see such a scene here."

'Oh? I did something like that?' Lith wasn't sure if the effects of him bending Space were going to be like this.

But he believed his aunt since she was an expert and thought of having better control next time.

Shaking his head, Lith smiled and said, "well, I am glad I messed up because I now get to lay on my beautiful aunt's lap, right?"

"..." Mayzin was stupefied for the second time now. 'This guy... It's no wonder why Lucifer and Agalea got taken by him. I almost felt my heart throb after getting called beautiful.'

Mayzin made Lith get up and holding his shoulder, said looking him in the eyes, "stop talking nonsense and now go back, your training is done for today."

Lith was then pushed down on the ground and made to disappear from her castle.

Watching the empty spot, Mayzin shook her head and said, "I am not going to be taken by a kid or twerk for him."
