Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1412

Chapter 1412 - Golden Dragon (Part 2)

Jakra tried to emit a burst of blue Origin Flames from his body, but they came out barely bright cyan and Lith’s Flames devoured them before moving onto his armor.

"I don’t know which one of your creations performed this miracle, but you are not the only skilled Forgemaster in this room." Jakra had no idea that it was Solus draining the surrounding world energy to have weakened his Flames and enhanced Lith’s.

He just assumed that it was the effect of one of his artifacts and activated the Kingslayer armor’s barrier. Thrud was well aware of the powers of all Guardians’ bloodlines and had made sure that her spouse had the tools to counter them.

In the case of Origin Flames, they didn’t discriminate between caster or foe, they would eat at everything they met. Hence a powerful barrier that sprung out with enough speed would produce a shockwave that would send them back against their master.

Lith cursed his bad luck, took a mental note of the trick, and then stepped back to not get burned by his own flames.

Yet it wasn’t enough. The wave of fire forced him to jump to the sides, leaving himself open from head to waist.

Or so Jakra thought until his watchful eyes notice a rune where Lith feet had been until a second ago.

"Oh, shit." Only then did the Emerald Dragon notice that while stepping back to defend from his attacks, Lith’s steps had traced a perfect circle and that by blocking the last lunge, Lith had thrown Jakra right in its middle.

The Earthbound array was just tier three, but tier three Gravity Magic. The Emerald Dragon felt his joints crack and had to let himself fall onto the ground to relieve part of the pressure and keep his body from folding onto itself like origami.

’I would have much preferred keeping him still while the Origin Flames burned his physical and magical strength, but this will have to do.’ Lith thought while using Invigoration to recover part of his strength.

The gravity array and the use of multiple Spirit Magic spells had drained him. Jakra, instead, had yet to use a single spell. He had relied mostly on his bloodline’s and equipment’s powers to preserve his strength.

’Origin Flames are much more versatile than we thought.’ Solus pondered while preparing her next strategy.

’Also, I don’t know if this plan would have worked against an Awakened. If Life Vision revealed them the runes while you stepped back, I doubt they would have remained inside the magic circle.’

’That’s a worry for another-’ A pillar of Origin Flames destroyed the array and cut Lith short.

Jakra had just used one of the abilities of his Emerald Dragon bloodline, Emerald Boost which allowed him to enhance all skills based on life force or Spirit Magic.

"That was a brilliant move, little brother. When I teach that trick to my child, I’ll make sure they remember your name." He said while standing up as his blade’s enchantments healed his body.

Meanwhile, even though Scarlett was in an even worse situation, she fought with a fury and determination that put Lith’s to shame. Xedros was a much better fighter and had greater mastery over Origin Flames than Jakra, yet he had to tread with caution.

The Golden Dragon had no equipment at the ready big enough for his new body whereas the Scorpicore was covered from head to paw in Adamant. On top of that, her tail injected a powerful acid whenever it stung and her rage seemed to know no bounds.
