Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098 Well-Laid Plans Part 2

Two of the Chiropterans joined her and pushed Lith down, blocking one of his arms each. Their darkness infused claws pierced the Skinwalker armor and spread their enchanted venom inside his bloodstream while the third Chiropteran had a clean shot at Kamila.

Or so the Vampire thought until he crashed against the golden dome filled with emerald veins that appeared around her out of thin air.

Lith was still far from the skill level necessary to be considered a Light Master, but between Faluel’s and Nalrond’s lessons, stopping a single Chiropteran was child’s play.

Lith had mixed Spirit with Light Magic, making his construct sturdier than a rock wall. The impact had broken the Vampire’s claws and shattered his hands, but it was the surprise that hurt him the most.

"Surprise, motherfucker." Kamila activated several darkness wands at the same time from a point-blank distance.

The Chiropteran turned into ashes, but the volley of bullets didn’t stop. Kamila kept firing darkness magic, aiming a few meters above Lith’s head. He saw them coming with Full Guard and stopped holding back.

He effortlessly lifted the two Chiropterans and the Ghoul, putting them in the line of fire while flexing his muscles to trap the undead’s claws inside his body. The barrage of spells killed them on the spot while War’s World Mirror ability took control of the excess magic and redirected it against the nearest enemies.

Believing Kamila already dead, all the remaining assassins had converged onto Lith to kill him as well. They had no idea that Lith had left Kamila alone exactly to lure them out.

The undead tried to dodge Kamila’s spells, but War turned them into homing projectiles that relentlessly followed their respective target while Lith used Spirit Magic to make them faster and Domination to add a bit of mana of his own.

The swarm of black spheres resembled an army of angry specters that circled around Lith’s raised sword and attacked whoever came too close. The thralls fell first while the undead had to push their enhanced bodies to the limit just to survive.

Then, everything ended.

Just a few seconds had passed since Kamila had set up her amulet, allowing the army headquarters to receive the distress call and use the signal as a dimensional waypoint. A golden gate opened in the night sky outside the air sealing array, letting several humanoid griffons come out of it.

"The Royal Guards!" A Ghoul said before a beam of golden light killed him.

Each one of the Guards wielded halberds that shot unknown spells capable of killing the undead as if they were normal humans. They would point, shoot, and an undead would fade away like mist under the morning sunlight.

Lith didn’t stop attacking until all enemies were dead and the Royal Guards erected a barrier around him and Kamila.

’Are you alright? Your crazy plan didn’t mention how you would deal with the venom.’ Kamila asked.

With the air sealing array blocking communication spells like Whisper, Lith couldn’t afford to speak out loud, nor did he have the time for that. The undead had keen senses on par if not even better than his own, but they didn’t know about Spirit Magic.

Everything Lith had said from the beginning was meant to fool the undead while he used a mind link to communicate with Kamila, allowing them to coordinate their action.

They had lured the enemies in the open and into a trap from which there was no escape.
