Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1391

Chapter 1391 - The Third God (Part 1)

Vastor walked through the reinforced door leading to Vesta’s fortified walls.

The city was fighting valiantly, but many fortified towers had been destroyed. The protective walls and arrays surrounding Vesta were filled with small cracks that spread faster than their self-repair spell could fix.

"What madness is this?" The Master walked along the elevated perimeter of the city walls, trying to understand what made the attack so dangerous that it required his presence.

Then, while he looked at the swarm of undead that surrounded the city like ants at a picnic table, Vastor found his answer.

Coated in a full suit of black crystal armor, Night led her troops on the battlefield and every one of the undead was engulfed in a thin black aura.

The power of her steed not only increased a Horseman’s physical and magical prowess, but it also allowed them to share their innate gift with undead that weren’t their Chosen.

In Night’s case, she was immune to darkness magic and so were now her troops. Be they wands, cannons, or spells of any tier, the black aura surrounding the undead would become thicker on impact, neutralizing darkness with darkness.

Baba Yaga’s children were naturally resistant to all elements but weak to darkness, otherwise there would have been no need for war since the undead would have long conquered the whole Mogar.

"Hello, dwarf pig!" Night floated in the sky, laughing as the night breeze made her long silver hair whip around as if she was the goddess of the storm. "The last time we met, you’ve killed a lot of my elders just to save a single sow and her piglets.

"You humiliated me in front of my Court and for that, I’m going to make sausages out of you and feed them to that whore!" _{freewebnøvel.com}

At those words, Vastor’s eyes didn’t burn with mana nor did they turn into a death glare. They became as cold as perennial ice, the eyes of a Highmaster on the job. Once he wore that armor, love and hate became irrelevant.

Only the mission mattered.

With a wave of the Yggdrasil staff, Vastor conjured several tier five Death Fog Arrays in critical junctures of the battlefield. War Mages used spells, whereas Highmasters mostly used arrays.

Spells were noisy and flashy, whereas an array was silent and their effects unnoticeable unless one stepped inside of them. Highmasters were invisible mass murderers, lone vagrants who few noticed and even fewer remembered.

"A darkness-based array?" Night laughed her a.s.s off while unleashing several lounges of her crystal spear, Thorn. "Are you stupid or what? Darkness doesn’t work on me. I am the god of darkness!

"Relinquish your hopes to stall for time until dawn, because I have another dreadful surprise for you fleshlings."

Vastor looked at the first lights of the day coming from the horizon, noticing that no undead seemed afraid of it or weaker for it. Yet he didn’t care.

"I’ll end this in a minute so save your surprise for birthday parties, clown." Vastor deflected all of her attacks with his staff, using just enough power to take off the brunt of the impact and let the city barriers do the rest.

Back when he was young and fully human, the Highmaster armor would have allowed him to barely accomplish such a feat against someone as powerful as Night. Now, however, it was a child’s play to him.
