Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243 - Legacies (Part 1)

The first spell conjured a beam of pure heat capable of evaporating stone while the second generated an intense cold wave.

One of them was enough to severely injure an Emperor Beast, but their combined effect generated a thermal shock that could kill even a greater undead.

Solus flexed her shoulders, using the metal wings of the Scalewalker armor to intercept both spells. Thanks to the pseudo core made of Hydra’s scales, the wings absorbed the energy from the incoming attacks and redirected it so that instead of stacking, their effects would cancel each other.

"Not bad, but tier four can do only that much. Why didn’t you use something more powerful?" Solus had come seconds away from compromising the structural integrity of the energy flow protecting the Eye of Kolga.

"Because I can’t risk further damaging the tower and you know it!" Ykrah tackled Solus, using the gap in height and weight between them to overpower her.

He was over 1.9 meters (6’4") tall and weighed almost 290 kilograms (634 lbs) due to having the mass of three a.d.u.l.ts. When the heir of Kolga was born, they would be infused with two lives instead of one.

It made them capable of harnessing the power of the geyser and of absorbing so much power from the Forbidden Sun that they would be nigh-invincible in its vicinity.

Solus, instead, barely reached 1.54 meters (5’1") and had a slim build that could reach the 50 (110 lbs) kilograms soaking wet. The impact would surely kill her and even if her bizarre armor allowed her to survive, the fall would finish the job.

’I wonder what Lith would do now.’ Solus thought while watching Ykrah move in slow motion to her enhanced senses. ’He would probably ask me to analyze our opponent, but between the Forbidden Sun, the white crystal, and the geyser, my mystical senses are blinded.’

She used a tier four spell War Mage spell, Blast Swarm, to probe the enemy defenses. The space surrounding the tower became filled with bright blue crystals the size of a finger.

The ice would pierce regular or low quality enchanted armor and stuck to everything it failed to pierce by generating a frost layer on the point of impact. Then, they would cause a small but focused explosion thanks to the blue flames hidden within the ice.

On the battlefield, a single Blast Swarm had the same effectiveness of a squadron of archers but a much greater versatility. The caster could spread or focus the crystals at will, allowing the mage to choose between taking down many small targets or a single dangerous enemy.

Blast Swarm wasn’t powerful enough to damage the tower so Solus had the crystals cover Ykrah from head to toe before detonating them. The King of Kolga didn’t slow down while he unleashed a fraction of the power stored inside the Hands.

A stream of energy protected his body, detaching the crystals before they could explode and then dispersing the shockwaves in every direction.

’Fascinating! Even though it’s quite rough, the effect that guy created by circulating the world energy is the same of the energy field that we have been researching with Faluel ever since Inxialot understood the potential of our gravity ring.

’While a construct is nothing but a physical object made of mana, an energy field is a moving flow of mana similar to aunt Loka’s Silver Spire spell that-’ Her train of thought derailed when Ykrah suddenly accelerated beyond human limits, hitting her with the strength of a car.

’Dammit, two idiotic mistakes in as many seconds. Well, not really idiotic, I never fought on my own before, correct?’ The silence in her head reminded Solus that Lith wasn’t with her.
