Supreme Magus - Chapter 405

Chapter 405: 405






'I didn't stop Nalear because she was born out of the Kingdom's unfair treatment . She was just like Balkor, the symptom of a disease that made it impossible for the upper echelons to ignore any longer . A foreigner causing troubles is another matter entirely . '

A sudden surge in the world energy coming from the Kellar region made her and Leegaain turn their heads at the same time .

"It's the anomaly kid again . Are you interested?"

"Thanks, but no thanks . I'm at a critical step in my research . Keep me posted if something interesting happens . " The Father of all Dragons replied .

It took Tyris but a thought to Warp at the borders of Kaduria .

***

The black rain was falling with the intensity of a summer storm, but luckily it had no effect on Lith .

'I recognize this feeling . It's the same coming out of the cursed item . A twisted version of world energy . ' He thought while his body shivered in disgust . The rain was the will of the Black Star taking physical form .





When the temple of the High Sun imbued so many lives inside their weapon, they made a huge mistake . Dozens of conflicting personalities had been forced together in a single mind, giving birth to a deranged individual with no memory nor morals .

The only thing left after their merging was the obsession to control everything under the High Sun's gaze and destroy everything that couldn't be controlled . Kaduria had been the field test and the Black Star was pleased with the results .

Every living being on Mogar would be at its mercy . Life and death would disappear forever under its rule . The worthy ones would live in a utopian world while the sinners would have an eternity to be redeemed through pain .

The black rain ripped the life out of the Kadurians, taking away everything they had but their minds . The process was unbearable, causing them to emit a collective telepathic shriek . Waves of agony made Lith and Treius fall to their knees .

They became part of the hive mind and were forced to experience the memories of all the Kadurians . To share their centuries worth of suffering . It lasted only for a few seconds, yet it almost drove them insane .

The mental pressure overwhelmed their minds, making it impossible for them to distinguish their thoughts from the Kadurians' .

The two Awakened ones rose to their feet at the same time, albeit with completely different mindsets . Treius was regretting his decision of merging with the artifact . Until that moment, he had always thought that no price was too great to achieve his goals as long as he wasn't the one paying for it .

Now he wasn't so sure anymore .

As for Lith, he stared at his opponent with eyes filled with a mix of pain and hatred . All seven of them . Two new pairs of eyes had appeared . One above and the other below humans' eyes were supposed to be .

The seventh was a vertical slit opened in the middle of his forehead .


He was now over two meters tall (7 feet) and covered by black scales the tip of which was bright red from the scorching heat that coursed through them . Aside from the eyes and a pair of curved horns protruding from his forehead, his head was a featureless black slate .

Two pairs of upside down membranous wings came out from his back, conjuring on their own enough wind to keep him a few centimeters from the ground . A long tail ending in several bone blades whipped the air in a frenzy .

The Shadows looked at the ruby dragon with unbridled rage . Just like the two Awakened had experienced the Kadurians' lives, the Kadurians had experienced theirs . Thanks to that, they recognized the giant as their sworn enemy .

Instead of being high in the sky, outside their reach, it was finally standing in front of them . The army of Shadows charged forward with only one thought in mind: revenge .

Treius's missing arm was regenerating at a speed visible at the naked eye, the stump had already reached the wrist level . He swatted them with a simple wave of the end, turning dozens of them into black snow at once .





Lith took off like a bullet with the Gatekeeper aimed at the still blinded eye . Treius cursed at himself for having forgotten about his real enemy . His tail whipped at Lith boosted by air and fire fusion .

Because of the partial blindness it only grazed its target, yet it was enough to send Lith crashing against the ground while spinning like a top . His collarbone was broken and so was his hip and left arm .

He just shut off his pain receptors, letting light fusion mend his wounds while he resumed his attack . For the first time since they had met, Treius felt confident about his chances of victory .

'Now there is no obstacle slowing my movements, nothing that the Ranger can use against me . Even if he has changed form too, in a contest of raw power we are still a dragon versus an ant!' He thought .

'What are you doing, you dimwit?' The Black Star reprimanded him . 'Don't underestimate those Shadows . They are leeching my powers!'

'Our powers, you mean . Feel free to break our deal . I'm sure the Ranger will be happy to finish his job . ' Treius had no intention of letting the Black Star order him around anymore . Still, its advice made sense .

He stomped the ground repeatedly before taking flight with air magic . He tried flapping his wings, but they were slow and clumsy . They reduced his mobility instead of improving it .

"Haven't you had enough?" Treius said with a laugh while watching Lith flying in circles above him .

"I have to admit it, you are smarter than me and probably you worked your ass for years to become so strong . Yet it doesn't matter . Nothing matters against overwhelming power!" He opened his mouth, releasing a densely packed jet of purple flames .

It was a tier four true spell, Fire Blade . Treius wasn't able to actually breathe fire .

Lith burned with hatred at those words . In his mind Treius, the Black Star, his Earth father, the boy who had killed his brother, were all the same person . Someone who held an underserved power and used it only to spread misery .

He took a deep breath to shout in defiance, yet no voice came out . The scales on his face opened up revealing his fang-filled mouth from which erupted a stream of blue flames that clashed with the spell in mid-air, like snakes wriggling in a deadly embrace .

None of those present, except for Lady Tyris, knew what had just happened . Lith didn't let the surprise slow him down, bringing his array to completion . Yurial's Hexagram was a six-pointed blue star inscribed inside a circle .

One of the points shone with a yellow light, neutralizing air magic within his area of effect . Treius fell to the ground with the grace of a brick and the Shadows resumed their assault .

Lith tried to used the debris on the ground to cover his movements, but once again Treius's tail intercepted him . Even if he dodged the hit, the shockwave sent him rolling onto the ground .

'Dammit, I almost forgot he can use Life Vision too . I must… What's that?' Lith recognized from the giant footprints the spot where Treius had killed several Shadows . Among the debris, there were several black floating orbs of different sizes .
