Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1358

Chapter 1358 - Superior Opponent (Part 2)

Lith had barely touched the ground that the Wyvern was back, diving on him like a bird of prey on a dumb rabbit.

Qisal had his wings spread open as he aimed his talons at Lith’s c.h.e.s.t to impale him. At the same time, his tail whipped the air left and right with its thick bone spike, making it impossible for Lith to sidestep the talons and a raging river of bright blue Origin Flames erupted from Qisal’s mouth.

The Wyvern exploited his powerful body to its fullest, executing a three-pronged attack that left Lith no way out.

Dodging meant to be impaled by the tail, blocking to take the talons in full, and the Origin Flames would shatter any defense that he might conjure at the last second. Moving up or back would have been a fool’s errand since he had no way to beat the Wyvern in raw speed.

’F.u.c.k me sideways!’ Lith thought as he hurled a stream of blue-violet Origin Flames that met the opponent’s in mid-air.

His plan was to make Qisal bathe in both Flames, hoping that he would suffer enough damage to make him falter and allow Lith to tank the impact.

What happened, instead, was that the two Origin Flames ate at each other with the fury of natural enemies fighting for dominance. The conflicting energies generated a powerful conflagration that blew the two contestants in opposite directions.

"What the f.u.c.k?" They said in unison once they managed to stop tumbling on the ground by digging into the rock with their talons.

Qisal was annoyed and enraged. The violet-blue Flames had overpowered his own, dealing little damage to his body but a huge blow to his ego.

"What. The actual. F.u.c.k?" He roared in outrage while looking at the violet bursts of light at the fringes of Lith’s aura.

Lith used that short respite to stop the bleeding of his shoulder blade that kept sapping his vitality. It was too big a wound for light fusion to heal it and there was no time for Invigoration either.

The Wyvern was already darting forward whereas Lith had yet to come to a halt. He didn’t have the focus to harmonize with the world energy while doing so many things at the same time.

Stopping his fall, healing, keeping an eye on the enemy, and weaving spells.

Qisal knew that if someone had taught Lith the secret of the violet core, he would have already achieved it. The colored bursts happened solely in the aura of those who managed to reach enlightenment on their own, without any guidance.

Lith waited for the enemy to come into the range of his spells, hoping that his mind would follow Qisal where his body couldn’t.

Alas, great minds think alike.

Lith unleashed his tier three Spirit Spell, Razor Net, at the same time when Qisal unleashed the tier five Light Mastery spell, Purge. It was infused with enough Spirit Magic to turn it into something new, to turn it into Emerald Purge.

Gadorf had been stopped before the spell could fully manifest, but this time Lith wasn’t so lucky. Purge would fill the air around the caster with a hail of huge nail-like constructs that struck at the enemy like a hammer and pierced like a rapier.

’Son of a gun!’ Solus thought while studying the situation with mana sense. ’Qisal went all-out, depleting his mana with that single attack, and exploited Lith’s paranoia that forces him to always keep more than one spell at the ready.

’Razor Net was actually stronger, but by using the light element as a crutch and by pouring an insane amount of energy into his spell, Qisal turned the tide of the clash. To make matters worse, he isn’t stopping to use Invigoration.

’His plan was foolproof. Had Lith exhausted his mana as well, Qisal would have suffered minor damage due to the tier difference in spells and then defeated Lith thanks to his vastly superior physical prowess.

’Qisal never meant to make this a battle of wits. His goal has been to win by using his superior aerial maneuverability and by exploiting the mass gap all along.’ Solus’s analysis was on point.

Only a few swords from Emerald Purge had reached their target, but they were more than enough. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
