Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1247

Chapter 1247 - Against the Odds (Part 1)

There was only so much Alchemical tools could do.

Any Awakened would counter white phosphorus with darkness and light fusion, using the former to destroy the foreign substance while not experiencing pain and the latter to recover from its damage.

As for fake mages, any of them capable of posing a threat to Lith was bound to have enough protections to be immune to his grenades. Just like the mines, Lith had employed them only to stall for time and save as much mana as he could.

The barrier ring and the mana boosted Scalewalker armor blocked the first volleys of spells, but there was just no end to them. As the alarm resounded throughout Kolga, more and more people rushed to the King’s tower and to the Light Torch academy.

Kolgans had no care for their allies and cast their deadliest spells at the Wyrmling knowing that he would be the only one suffering from permanent harm. The Forbidden Magic coursing through their veins would restore a punctured heart or a mushy brain in a matter of seconds.

On top of that, the Forbidden Sun empowered their cores to the point that the weakest of them had a bright green mana core, making their spells as powerful as those of the graduates from one of the six great academies.

Lith unleashed all the tier five spells that he had at the ready, but none of them could turn the tide of the battle. Raging Sun gave him the time for one breath worth of Invigoration, but it killed only the Kolgans so close to the point of the explosion that their shreds were scattered too far from each other to regenerate.

Mjolnir stun those around him long enough to allow his deadly touch to destroy over twenty Kolgans and sever their link with the Forbidden Sun, but hundreds of enemies remained and even more arrived with each passing second.

Lith cast a Burial Grounds, using its ever-growing pillars to protect himself while he used Invigoration and checked on Solus’s fight.

’I could use our mind link to tell her to get a move on, but I can’t afford to rush nor distract her. With her cracked core and life force, Solus is the only one who has a real shot at getting the Hands-’ His train of thought crumbled along with his protection.

The new arrivals were late for a good reason. While their comrades weakened the enemy, they had prepared enough tier five War Mage spells to level a mountain.

Lith’s mana core hurt from the effort of using so much mana while countering the poisoning, yet he had to Blink to escape from the jaws of death. On top of that, due to Ykrah’s and Solus’s battle for the control of the mana geyser, Invigoration was far less effective than usual.

The world energy inside Kolga was already thin compared to the outside world to start with, but with the Tower and the Hands so close to Lith, there was just enough to fuel the spells.

A couple of soldiers unleashed upon Lith the tier five War Mage spell Firefly, conjuring several wisps of light that were actually highly compressed flames. The moment the air magic keeping them sealed vanished, a backdraft effect amplified the explosion and engulfed the area of 100 meters (330 feet) around him in flames.

On top of that, fake mages couldn’t see the exit point of a Blink but a Steps was much slower. Even though Lith had moved to an area he remembered as devoid of enemies, they had rushed there the second the dimensional door opened. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
