Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1579

Chapter 1579 - Ten Tails (Part 1)

"If you think to have cornered me, kid, think again." The first tail unleashed a burst of Cinder aimed at the fake Fallmug's heart.

The cursed element moved as fast as Chaos, also causing an elemental imbalance that made the well-timed Blink of its prey fail. The blue-robed man realized too late what was happening, managing only to partially dodge the bright red pillar.

Cinder generated heat of thousands of degrees while also robbing the humidity from anything that came too close to it, in order to restore its balance by absorbing the nearby water element.

The right arm of the fake Fallmug was struck by the cursed element, causing his blood to boil, his armor to become white-hot, and every tissue up to his shoulder to be turned into dried meat.

The pillar was infused with willpower, yet instead of keep chasing after its first target, it moved onto one of the Warp Gates from where reinforcements kept coming out.

Tezka's tier five Cinder spell, Dread Star, killed all those nearby and disrupted the Warp Steps' elemental balance as well, making the spell collapse.

On top of that, once the dimensional corridor closed and the connection with its caster was severed, Dread Star exploded on the other side of the Steps, boiling the mercenaries alive in the alleged safety of their own base.

"Quick question, kid. How many elements there are?" Tezka asked while unleashing from five of his tails as many cursed elements.

The blue-robed man didn't attempt to Blink anymore, focusing all he had to dodge.

'I only need to avoid getting hit by the first volley. Once those goddamn tails are depowered, it will be my victory. Without them, he cannot overcome the gap in our equipment.' He thought.

Tezka watched at the enemy's movements with interest. He noticed that whenever one of his cursed spells came in too close, the fake Fallmug would conjure a powerful spell of the opposite element, partly restoring their balance.

This way, the fake Fallmug could take off the brunt of the damage of the cursed elements that managed to hit him since in their reverted form they were no match for his powerful Adamant armor.

"Either you are a quick learner, or you are much older than you look. Countering Mirror Magic as you just did is no easy feat." Tezka gave him a round of applause without looking one bit disappointed by the blue-robed man surviving the onslaught.

The reason was that the copycat had never been the target all along. Decay had made another Warp Steps explode, hitting the mercenaries' exposed backs and making them easy prey for the soldiers of the Kingdom.

Just like Cinder, it had also crossed the dimensional door, turning an entire building full of powerful mages into a bunch of fossils.

Zero, Choke, and Corruption had respectively caused a city block-sized ice age, poisoned to death anyone in a 100 meters radius, and made a mercenary base collapse while melting everything inside.

In a split second, the equivalent of an entire army of elite mages had been slaughtered by just six spells. To make matters worse for the fake Fallmug, Tezka had aimed the cursed elements so that they would kill people on both sides of the Warp Steps.
