Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1610

Chapter 1610 - Shadows And Crystals (Part 2)

Aylen had crafted her spear so that it would convert the life force it was imbued with into extra mass in the same way her body did. Yet under the effects of Crushing Pillar, even the most durable metal on Mogar could barely stand its own weight.

To make matters even worse, when the dimensional spell, Full Circle, Warped the tip of the spear right at Aylen's back and made it clash against her Davross armor, the result was their mutual destruction.

At the same time, the Spirit Magic spell, Starpath, conjured an emerald stream comprised of countless particles above the Lich. Starpath used the Crushing Pillar's gravitational pull to increase its momentum while Full Circle warped every particle that had missed its target back on top of Aylen.

"I see that I'm not the only one who likes to play their cards close to the vest." The Lich snapped her fingers, releasing a burst of cursed magic that disrupted Sinmara's spells long enough to escape the onslaught.

"I hope you realize that with each passing second, my kittens are getting what I need while you are achieving nothing. Beat me as much as you want, unless you manage to destroy my phylactery it's just a waste of time."

"Are you sure about that?" A few moments had passed since the Phoenix of Darkness had collapsed to the ground, yet she had already recovered without the aid of her breathing technique.

"What do you-" Only then did Aylen notice that the Echo of Darkness had been just a cover for the Phoenix's bloodline skill, Call of the Blood.

While Sinmara kept the Lich's focus on her, she had conjured other members of the nest that were capturing Aylen's Emperor Beasts the moment they came out of the ground to deliver the goods or opened a Warp Steps to collect them.

Contrary to Sinmara's expectation, instead of falling into despair, the Maker of all Liches burst out in a maniacal laughter.

"You should have done more than watch my fight with Vareen. You should have also listened to my words. As I said to him, it's by fighting against you that I draw my strength and inspiration."

One more snap of her fingers opened several Warp Steps at the same time.

'If Aylen is conjuring more sacrificial victims to get another power boost by feeding, I'm screwed.' Sinmara thought. 'Our magical power is nearly identical and between the strength and the bloodline abilities that she obtained from the first meal, she has already gotten the physical advantage.

'I can't allow her to do that again, otherwise, only Mom can be her opponent.'

The Phoenix of Darkness flapped her wings, generating waves of fire with the same intensity of a tier three spell that flooded Aylen's Warp Steps. Her goal was to kill the incoming meal and empty the Lich's pantry in one fell swoop.

Yet the flames disappeared without ever reaching past the dimensional corridors. Aylen had not conjured more food, but more helpers. What stepped through the Steps was a small army of what looked like skeleton soldiers.

The Phoenixes that were still fighting against the feline Emperor Beasts sneered at the appearance of lesser undead while Sinmara knew that there was something off in that move.

'There's no point in bringing such weaklings to the battlefield.' She thought. 'They can't even buy her one second, let alone fight against Phoenixes. Yet it's not like Aylen to waste precious mana for a spell that's merely a distraction.'
