Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1229

Chapter 1229 - Tyrannical Eye (Part 1)

True magic all came down to the deep connection with Mogar that those whose core had Awakened and those who bore the blood of magical creatures shared.

Quylla had to learn from experience and countless failures before giving up on learning it. Until she had entered the Fringe and discovered that every spell that she cast would receive an answer that actually made sense.

While Friya had used the time during Nalrond’s recovery to improve her skills and to find a workaround to control Gravity Magic, Quylla had learned magic back from scratch.

She had to start from first magic and work her way up to the second tier of spells for every element.

While Quylla chanted, Nalrond gently grabbed her, making sure to not disturb her focus and Blinking them out of the encirclement. The elves recognized his energy signature and aimed their spells at his exit point, turning it into a crater.

The detonation was powerful enough to stop their escape but not strong enough to shatter the defensive hard-light construct that they had seen him prepare via Soul Vision.

<"Time to take the kid’s gloves off! Maim them as much as you want. I want this over, now!"> M’Rael entered the fray right after throwing a disgusted look at Kimo.

The elder and his people just stood there without moving a finger in the attempt to preserve the last shred of their precious honor, putting the entire mission at stake.

’I knew that I couldn’t trust the Dewans. During the conflict between my people and the humans, Emperor Beasts refused to help us, claiming that we were no different from our enemies. Both of the Werepeople’s halves are rotten to the core.’ He thought.

Thanks to Nalrond’s protection, Quylla managed to complete the tier five War Mage spell, Crimson Hail, without ever stopping to release low-tiered spells to keep the enemies at bay.

Crimson Hail was a mix of water and air magic that turned all the humidity in the surroundings of the caster into a storm of razor-sharp ice crystals. Air magic would further enhance their edge by covering it in air blades and their piercing ability by making them spin like a drill.

The spell owed its name to the fact that the blood spilled on the battlefield contained quite a lot of water and it would bestow the ice crystals their characteristic color. On top of that, with each enemy hurt or slain by the spell, the projectiles would increase in size and number, like a swarm of deadly mosquitoes.

Quylla had Crimson Hail spin around them, getting rid of the nearby enemies and using the mass of the spell to hide from the elves’ Soul Vision.

"I don’t know why they are holding back, but if they start to use tier four spells and above, we’re done for." Quylla said amid pants.

Casting a tier five spell while keeping active so many cantrips with true magic had drained her mana and put a heavy burden on her body. She didn’t use tier three true magic not because she had no idea how to, but because every time she attempted it, her body writhed in pain.

"They want us alive, but if you and your sister keep slaughtering them like that, I don’t think that-" M’Rael’s arrival cut Nalrond short and cleaved Crimson Hail in two.
