Supreme Magus - Chapter 480

Chapter 480: 480






"About damn time!" The rest of the team yelled in unison . Manohar Blinked as far away as he could from the enemy, using the temporary respite to rebuild all of his constructs and plan his next move .

Vastor was faring much worse . The same stone walls which had protected him from the tornado also made him blind to the incoming danger . He became aware of the Black Griffon's threat only when it tore apart his defenses, leaving him almost no time to retaliate .

Almost .

Vastor unleashed against the conjured creature all the spells he had at ready, buying himself a few precious instants . When the Griffon finally reached him, it was weakened enough to not disrupt his focus, but still capable of snuffing his life .

When Kilian gave him the good news, his Professor suit was on its last leg . The Griffon's chaotic energies were slowly robbing Vastor of his vitality . Blink saved him just at the last second, but the creature, guided by Thrud's will, went after him .

Lith unknowingly followed Kilian's example . The Griffons were so close to the wall that when Death Call's hands Blinked away, they weren't able to stop their mad charge .

The darkness energy composing them dissipated, but not without further weakening the defensive array from the inside . Lith left Jirni beside Kilian and Blinked again, this time right above the eye of the storm .





It was the only safe place from the air blades and also Thrud's blind spot . Lith descended with the Gatekeeper's tip pointed downwards, aimed at her head . Once again, he experienced an invisible force pulling the blade away, but this time they were waiting for it .

Lith and Solus infused their blade with all six elements, generating a gravity sheath that countered Arthan's Armor protection . The hit took Thrud by surprise, dissipating all of her active spells .

'I knew it!' Solus gloated . 'It's like the protection that makes our armor impenetrable to conventional bullets, just much stronger . It alters our direction and acceleration but it's not invincible!'

Unfortunately, aside from a small trickle of blood, it dealt no damage . The Mad Queen turned around so fast that Lith had no time to follow up on his attack . Her sword lunged to his heart, forcing him to side step and focus on the defense .

He had yet to find a way to inflict her real damage, whereas Arthan's Sword had already proven capable of piercing his Skinwalker Armor with ease . Trading blows was off the table .

'I can only buy the others some time . ' He though while triggering his tier four spell Burning Prison . Six fireballs appeared from Thrud's every side, but she only needed to activate Ruler's Will, Arthan's sword's blue gemstone's power, to make them disappear .

Ruler's Will allowed the wielder of the sword to control any tier four or below spell like it was their own . It was the same power Thrud had employed to get rid of Vastor's ice prison .






Although it was a very strong ability, it came at a heavy price . It was a simplified version of Silverwing's Hexagram, so it required from Thrud to spend as much mana as Lith had poured in the spell .

Yet for her rainbow core, which she had overcharged while waiting for her guests, a tier four spell was like a tear in the rain: unnoticeable . She pivoted on her feet, following Lith's side step like they were dance partners . Her blade still pointing at his heart .

Lith deflected her weapon time and time again, but she managed to push the Gatekeeper farther away with each hit, leaving on its surface a deep scratch every time the blades clashed .

"How dares a filthy commoner, the son of a wretched farmer, to draw a Queen's blood?" Thrud's fury multiplied her energies, making Lith almost incapable of following her swordplay .

He was faster and stronger than her, but her centuries of practice made the skill gap between them abysmal . Solus tried to help him with her spells, but even at point blank Thrud was able to use Ruler's Will to nullify them .

The only silver lining was that Solus finally understood what was happening .

'Tier four and below are useless! We can only rely on tier five spells . '

'Great! Too bad I have none ready . Not only didn't I had much mana to start with, but also the ones I know have a huge area of effect . I risk wiping out my team with them . ' Lith grunted in reply .





He Blinked away, leaving the Mad Queen flabbergasted .

'I didn't see him chant nor perform hand signs . How many Blink can that runt keep at…' Her split second of hesitation was exactly what Manohar had been waiting for . That and Lith being out of his way, of course .

"Now, you idiots!" He yelled while activating his trump card, the tier five "Double Standards" spell . Manohar had never liked being a team player, but experience had taught him that sometimes quantity had a quality of its own .

A cube made of translucent light appeared around Thrud . The moment she tried to cross it, it became solid, blocking both her sword and body . Vastor and Kilian didn't waste any time, releasing respectively the tier five spells "Raging Sun" and "Dark Star" .

The former released a blast of purple flames capable of blowing a castle's doors open, while the latter generated a pillar of darkness with a radius of ten meters (33 feet) .

When Lith recognized Vastor's spell, he almost panicked .

'Is he insane?' Lith thought while setting up his defenses . 'Raging Sun should never be used in enclosed spaces . It could kill us all!'

Unlike his companions, he had never seen Manohar in action . Double Standards was a nasty spell that prevented anything from getting out while letting everything getting in .

The Mad Queen did her best, using both her sword and spells to get out of the death trap, but to no avail . Raging Sun's effect was amplified by the cube, which gave the flames all the oxygen they needed while forcing their shockwaves to bounce on its walls like pinballs .

It also allowed Dark Star to unleash its maximum potential . The pillar of darkness couldn't move, but neither could its target . Jirni used that time to pour one of the best tonics on Vastor's body .

Between the aftermath of Thrud's Black Griffon spell and the non stop spellcasting, the old Professor was as pale as a ghost . The moment Lith understood what was happening, he dropped his guards and cast his personal tier five darkness spell Death Zone .

A thick, black mist resembling a small storm cloud appeared in front of him . After conjuring it, Lith needed only a thought to send it toward the light cube . Like all darkness spells, Death Zone moved slowly, but its destructive power was unmatched .

It was the perfect weapon against a trapped enemy .

Manohar's ego was flattered by his companions thinking so highly of him, but three tier five spells plus Thrud's efforts to escape were too much even for him . He clapped his hands, making Double Standards implode on itself with a thud .

Thrud Griffon stood amid the specks of flickering light . Her body was enveloped by a blinding light which restored her charred skin and withered flesh . She looked tired but satisfied as she clapped her hands at their performance .
