Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1018

Chapter 1018 Orion’s Wrath Part 2

Orion had enchanted the rapier so that it could emit all the six elements, even light, so as to give his daughter the greatest versatility in battle.

She could even use it to heal her allies or to stab and heal her target at the same time, making it easier to capture someone alive. Friya used the light element to lit the corridor and regain part of her dimensional abilities.

Unlike War, Dreadnought didn’t channel and amplify its wielder magic, but it produced simple spells on its own, without them needing time to be cast nor requiring any mana from Friya.

The mines were too close to use Steps, but now all of them could Blink. She appeared right behind the two undead, unleashing the tier four Blood Dusk spell against one Ghoul while lunging with her rapier at the other.

Yet once outside the dimensional door, Friya’s movements were akin to slow motion to them. Due to the confined space, she couldn’t appear below them nor on the sides, making her strategy predictable.

They turned around a split second after the Blink, dodging the attacks with ease. The spell and the darkness infused blade hit only air, making Friya curse her bad luck. As long as the Ghouls were outside Full Guard’s range, she could barely follow their movements.

Quylla racked her brain in search of a way to help either of her sisters, but everything happened so fast that her plans would become obsolete before she could formulate them.

She had practiced hard since Kulah, but one year was a drop in the ocean compared to the lifelong effort of her sisters and the decades of experience of the undead.

Quylla was barely able to follow Friya’s movements when they sparred, Phloria and the Ghouls looked like demigods to her eyes. Her fear grew with each passing second as she helplessly watched Phloria being wounded and surrounded while the best Friya could do was Blink to stall for time.

She wished that her parents were there and then that Lith was there. When both failed, she prayed the gods to give her the strength to do something, but only grunts and blood ensued.

She hated herself for being so useless and the Ghouls even more for considering her so weak that they didn’t hesitate to show their backs to her. The problem was that they were right.

The natural resistance to the elements all undead shared coupled with the Ghouls regenerative abilities would make most of her spells a threat only to Friya. Darkness magic would hurt them, but it was so slow that from that distance the Ghouls would dodge it easily, with the risk of Friya getting in the line of fire.

Quylla remembered the day when she had killed Yurial. Back then, her body refused to obey no matter how hard she tried whereas now she wasn’t even trying. She stepped forward without even noticing, closing the distance between her and the Ghouls blocking the only escape route.

Thanks to their natural affinity with darkness magic, the two undead perceived the spell Quylla had conjured before it was fully formed while their enhanced senses allowed them to pinpoint her without even the need to turn around.

When a little girl met monsters, death was the only outcome.

"Make another step and we’ll kill you. We only need one hostage." The male Ghoul said while conjuring an earth wall to block both Friya’s sword and spells.

She was going all out just to keep up with them, whereas the undead could focus solely on the defense and wait for the moment she was too tired to fight back. Friya’s prowess was well known and no one dared to underestimate her dimensional magic.

The Ghouls used earth spells to hinder her line of sight, afraid that she might turn the tables with a single spell.
