Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1608

Chapter 1608 - Food Chain (Part 2)

Sinmara had used the experience gained from her previous defeats to devise spells that when used together would conjure an inescapable trap for someone the size of a human.

Sealed Space blocked dimensional magic, Small Sun used gravity to both pull Aylen toward the burning mass at its center and to generate heat that put a heavy strain on the enchanted protections that ensured the Lich's survival.

Sure, her white core allowed Aylen to recover from any damage the moment it was inflicted upon her, but the same didn't stand for her equipment. On top of that, Starfall had conjured a hail of small green meteors imbued with the power of all elements.

Air gave them speed, light made them as hard as diamonds while earth gave them physical mass that the gravity spell could draw in, increasing their kinetic energy and giving to each fragment that was the size of a marble the energy of a cannonball.

Fire made them detonate, pushing Aylen closer and closer to the Small Sun, water made the fragments seep through her armor, carrying the darkness along and sapping her strength.

'Crap! Every second that I spend here takes away a big chunk of energy from the power cores of my artifacts. If I don't find a way out, even if my phylactery doesn't break, I will be a sitting duck.

'Sinmara already has a physical prowess greater than mine. If I also lose the edge that my anti-Phoenix equipment gives me, I'm as good as dead.' Aylen thought.

She took a vial from her belt and removed its stopper, freeing the stream of bright violet Origin Flames that was stored inside. Small Sun sucked them right in its own core, weakening the perfect balance that the elements needed to keep such a powerful gravitational effect.

'Cunning bitch!' Sinmara cursed as Aylen exploited the split second when Small Sun lost its efficacy due to the Origin Flames and escaped from the death trap.

Once outside the Sealed Space, the Lich used a long range Blink to get to a safe distance and kept blinking non-stop until she was outside the mountain range. Much to her surprise, Sinmara had yet to give chase.

She hadn't fallen for Aylen's trickery and she knew that the Lich was just trying to lure her away from the mines.

'If Aylen is fighting with me, then she can't be the one extracting the natural resources. My mission is not to kill her, just to keep her from stealing Mom's property.

'Life Vision is not spotting any array powerful enough to build an instant network of caves nor any dimensional spell. Even if her miners all wear some kind of cloaking device, the ores they carry cannot be concealed.' Sinmara thought.

She knew of the existence of bloodline abilities that allowed people to move through the ground as if they swam through water and suspected that was the case. When Sinmara saw a Vagrash emerge from the ground, dropping a load of violet crystals on the surface, the Phoenix understood what was really happening.

Aylen was just a diversion while her apprentices took away everything they could and Warped the resources back into her secret hideout.

Sinmara had never stopped weaving her spells, keeping them at the ready for that precise moment. She swooped down where the Vagrash was, storing the crystals inside her pocket dimension while attempting to bite its head off at the same time.

The Emperor Beast survived solely because it had already started to sink back into the ground, but Sinmara still pecked off its mane and left ear.
