Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1557

Chapter 1557 - Eye Versus Eye (Part 1)

Quylla shielded Morok with her wings while Protector moved in front of Nalrond to take the brunt of the impact for him.

Realizing that not even their armor were a match for the combined effect of the Evil Eyes, the Rezar and the Tyrant weaved their spells together via the mind link, making the ground rise and forming a series of makeshift barriers.

'If someone covers for me, I can dish out a big spell, but I need time.' Nalrond said while a volley of fire pillars pierced through the rock walls, Protector, and yet they still had enough power to almost burn the Rezar to a crisp.

Nalrond used his mastery over earth magic to conjure more and more thick layers of stone to fill the hole in the barriers before the next volley arrived, unwittingly turning the tide of the battle.

The goblins had already consumed most of the ground with their spells, forcing Nalrond to take what he needed from the walls to not trigger a cave in. His spell dislodged several metal rings and made the magical gemstones that the Harmonizers had kept stable until a second back go haywire.

A mana crystal was just a mass of world energy that had taken physical form due to its abundance, time, and the presence of rare minerals that usually could be found solely at great depths.

The things that Morok had mistaken for slave collars were magical devices capable of exerting so much pressure that, in the case of living beings, it created an artificial mana flow…

If left on the ground, instead, several Harmonizers linked together compressed the world energy to the point of causing the germination of mana crystals even in the absence of the rare minerals.

By dislodging the Harmonizers, Nalrond had also relieved the newly formed crystals from the very force that kept them together. The gemstones had yet to stabilize so they exploded, triggering a chain reaction that turned the upper side of the corridor into a slaughterhouse.

"You idiot! Months of hard work and sacrifices ruined!" Rhona said in outrage after completing her tier four spell, Heat Wave.

A raging river of boiling water erupted from her wings and flooded the entire corridor. Protector tried to Blink, but the elemental imbalance just made him waste his mana while the hot water seeped through the openings in his armor.

Nalrond used his rock barrier to shield his companions, but the water suddenly turned into vapor while the heat cracked the stone, letting the gas in while emitting a shrill sound akin to a pressure cooker.

He sealed the cracks with earth magic but the reverted Balor burst through the wall with a single fist. Protector stepped in before Rhona could interrupt Nalrond but more water kept getting past the broken barrier.

The Balor kept turning Heat Wave from liquid to gas and back, using both forms as an extra limb. A wave sent Quylla crashing against a wall while a fine mist blinded Protector that failed to dodge an uppercut and retained his consciousness only thanks to darkness fusion blocking his pain receptors.

"Sorry, sister, but you are not the only one with a cool bloodline skill!" Morok said while turning into his real form, that of a lean humanoid covered in rainbow-colored scales and with six big eyes, each one bearing the light of a different element.

He now had the yellow and the orange eyes where his regular eyes had been until a second back. The black and the white rested respectively on his right and left shoulders while the remaining two emerged from the back of his hands.
