Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1528

Chapter 1528 Chaos Unleashed Part 2

The answer to all of his questions lay in Reaver, the estoc that Orion had forged for Phloria back when he had crafted War for Lith.

Lord Ernas had enchanted his daughter's blade with the ability to hold spells on its own. Reaver relieved Phloria from the mental burden that keeping several spells at the ready required and prevented them from dissipating in the case she lost her focus.

Unlike a magic holding ring, the estoc didn't have a limit to the number of spells it could store, but it couldn't maintain them for more than two minutes. It was the perfect weapon for a fake mage, allowing its wielder to pack the same assault prowess of a small unit on short notice.

To an Awakened who could cast spells with their mind and use Invigoration to replenish their mana at will, however, Reaver granted the same power of an army. Phloria had now at her fingertips two full minutes of casting, allowing her to relentlessly attack while she kept refueling the estoc.

She didn't need hand signs anymore so she could keep using her mind to cast new spells to store inside Reaver while unleashing those that were close to expiring. At the same time, she used Invigoration to never run out of mana.

The only weakness of her weapon was its inability to hold Spirit Magic spells, but those she could keep on her own.

"Fuck off, girl!" Vareen couldn't move due to the hepta-elemental onslaught that bombarded him from every side, but he could still cast spells.

A tier four Void Howling left his palm and moved towards Phloria too fast to be dodged. Coordinating so many spells at the same time while also weaving more required her full focus.

That's why when Full Guard read the incoming attack she didn't move and raised her Adamant shield, Breaker. The black stone at its center came to life, turning into a black liquid that covered the silver surface of Breaker until it became a black slate.

When the Void Howling hit, the multiple Darwen layers that now covered the shield shattered the spell's mana flow into countless smaller streams that the Adamant underneath deflected with minimum effort.

'Fuck me sideways, Orion spared no efforts for his daughters. Phloria is damn overgeared.' Lith thought. 'Wait, what are those?'

He regretted being separated from Solus who could have probably answered his question.

'What the fuck are those?' Solus thought in amazement.

A glowing rune appeared around the estoc with each spell that Reaver unleashed. Another function of the blade was to collect any bit of mana that failed to strike at the enemy and use it to fuel another of its pseudo cores.

There were so many runes around Reaver now that they formed a spiral that went from the hilt to the tip of the blade. By absorbing them, Phloria was supposed to temporarily boost her physical prowess and be coated in a defensive layer of solid mana thanks to Reaver's Take and Give ability.

'How can that guy be still standing?' Lith couldn't believe his eyes when Life Vision revealed that the hail of spells that would have flattened a mountain had just weakened the Eldritch.

'Did you really expect a blue cored Awakened to be effective?' Aalejah replied. 'It takes the Council dozens of Elders to face a single Abomination as strong as Vareen. Even the World Tree is wary of their powers.'

The Plaguespreader dashed forward the moment that the frequency of the spells decreased enough to create an opening and aimed at Lith again. Vareen was now not only annoyed for being hurt so much by a bunch of babies but also worried.
