Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1245

Chapter 1245 - Bets and Arsenals (Part 1)

"I don’t care what’s happening to the Light Torch, send the elite squads to the tower, now!" Ykrah said in his communication amulet as soon as he noticed that Solus was back to her peak condition.

Thanks to the cover that Final Sunset had provided her, Solus had managed to use Invigoration without Ykrah’s Life Vision noticing. Thanks to the Forbidden Sun, she could use the breathing technique to its fullest and even exploit her tower half to repair and enhance her equipment.

’I don’t get it. A spell of that caliber should have finished her off along with my subjects. Yet no one died.’ Ykrah thought while Solus charged at him.

Lith descended among the injured Kolgans that were still regenerating, grabbing one of them with each of his hands and wings. His touch was delicate, yet they all started to scream as their shadows came to life and devoured them.

Ykrah couldn’t believe his eyes when the energy released from the dead bodies bolted to the skies instead of being reabsorbed by the Forbidden Sun. Those deaths had escaped the cycle of the ritual, making everyone weaker instead of strengthening them.

The people around Lith froze in awe and terror as well, something that in battle could only be classified as a terrible mistake.

While Ykrah was still trying to make heads or tails of the Wyrmling’s abilities, Solus was already upon him. He tried to unleash a spell, but her kick was faster. She struck at his torso with all of her strength, sending him to crash against the tower.

Solus had gained enough dominance over the mana geyser that not even the energy field enveloping Ykrah could fully protect him anymore. He managed to remain conscious thanks to darkness fusion, but he needed to wait until his punctured lungs healed before being able to ask:

"Who the heck is that?"

"My Abomination." Solus released her tier four Light Mastery spell, Diamond Cutter.

It generated a hard-light construct shaped like a drill that incorporated the hardest minerals in the ground to combine the speed of a light beam with the destructive power of the earth element.

Ykrah managed to dodge it in the nick of time, just like Solus wanted. Diamond Cutter struck at the tower behind him and even though it failed to deal any apparent damage, it compromised the flow of energy that went from the geyser to the white crystal on top of the tower.

Thanks to the stability of the earth element, the construct cost little mana to be kept active and was easily repaired.

"Stalling for time is a game that two can play now, jackass." Solus said.

Ykrah swallowed a lump of saliva as he could feel the power balance escape from his grasp. Somehow, Elphyn was not only unaffected by the Forbidden Sun, but she also slowly wrestled the power of the mana geyser away from the Hands.

In the past, armies of Awakened had tried and failed to bring the tower down because the Forbidden Sun, the Eye of Kolga, and the Hands of Menadion synergized with each other.

From that close, even a Lich’s phylactery holding a violet core would be unable to exert half of its true strength and the Hands always surrounded the entire tower with an energy field capable of deflecting Nova tier spells.
