Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1734

Chapter 1734 - Perfect Cores (Part 2)

"What's wrong with you idiots?" Lekha roared in outrage as she assumed her Chiropteran form again. "We are now stronger than any other child of the Blood Mother has ever been, yet you've been cornered by two mere flesh bags!"

"That's not a nice thing to say to someone you've just met." Friya Blinked away to escape the two undead charging at her while Nalrond tackled the third.

The Ghoul bit and clawed to escape from his grip, but the Adamant didn't budge.

Cursing his bad luck, the Ghoul took the mana blade he used for mining from his pocket and stabbed at the Rezar's neck. The pure mana cut through the enchanted metal and pierced the scales underneath, but it was too short to reach the flesh.

Nalrond felt a painful sting, but nothing more.

"Thanks for the reminder." Nalrond said as four metal wings popped out of his back and Sunder fused his claws into a blade over one meter (3 feet) long.

From such a close distance there was no way to dodge. The wings cut off the Ghoul's legs and arms while the two blades hacked and slashed at the helpless torso. Syrook had been a Black Dragon, naturally attuned with air and darkness, and so was his weapon.

Sunder's black blades shredded the Ghoul until Nalrond found the heart hidden in the tight and turned it into ashes. Even the Harmonizer couldn't recreate a vital organ from scratch so the rest of the body quickly followed.

The Chiropteran and the Dullahan chasing Friya were infused with all the elements and even though they weren't Awakened, their physical prowess was evenly matched.

By fixing the imbalance in the blood core, the Harmonizer had bestowed upon Baba Yaga's children the abilities of an Awakened violet core.

They could now weave spells of all elements with their bodies and use all kinds of fusion magic. The Chiropteran could move in every direction, walking on the walls and ceiling of the cave with the same ease as if it was the floor.

Lekha's every move generated bits of darkness mixed with small spheres of lightning that relentlessly followed the human like a swarm of angry wasps. The moment the spell reached Friya, darkness would sap her strength while the spheres would cause her muscular spasms, making her easy prey.

The second undead chasing her was a Dullahan, an undead born from the corpse of someone who had been unjustly decapitated. Even in death, their head was still severed from the rest of the body.

The Dullahan threw his head against the ceiling, making it bounce to Friya's blind spot before firing bolts of darkness from his mouth and eyes.

The human managed to survive only thanks to Full Guard and Blink, but she failed to move on to the offense. The Chiropteran kept chasing her relentlessly along with the magical swarm and there was more.

Dullahans were an oddity, even for the undead. Even though their head and body were doomed to never be attached again, they could never be kept apart. One could instantly Blink near the other, making their movements unpredictable.

More often the head would Blink to the body to dodge an attack, but the opposite was possible as well.

Friya had to be constantly wary of the possibility of the head conjuring the body and grabbing her before she managed to Blink. If that happened, her dimensional magic would become useless.

To make matters worse, the magical community had yet to discover what the weak point of a Dullahan was.

Friya had to look out for the hulking figure stalking her, for the black and yellow swarm that filled more space of the cave with each passing second, and of the Dullahan's tricks.
