Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2032

Chapter 2032 Battle of Immortals (Part 2)

Origin Flames were powerful, but they moved no faster than regular fire. On top of that, they were supposed to lose cohesion after moving too far away from their caster, making them good only for close-quarter combat.

Cursed Flames, instead, were focused like a laser and so quick that even with Full Guard warning her, the Sekhmet managed to react by the skin of her teeth. She attempted to Blink but the Hexagram absorbed the spell, adding the energy to its own reserves.

Iata was forced to conjure at the last second a Tier Five Spirit Barrier that saved her life at the expense of a lot of her mana. The spark of Corruption in Lith's Nether Flames created distortions in electromagnetic forces that held matter together, making it collapse under its own weight.

Spirit Magic was pure energy but to keep the Cursed Flames from harming Iata, it required the same amount of power they held and to focus it exactly on the point of impact.

'It doesn't matter. I've still got a lot of mana and now that I know how it works-' Once again, the first attack was only a distraction.

While the Sekhmet was busy, Lith's feathered wings had produced a jet stream of Noxious Flames, aiming them in the space between the first and the second battalion.

The spark of Choke turned the air into a powerful acid, isolating Thrud's vanguard from the rest of the troops and making it impossible for them to escape.

By the time Iata realized what had happened, many Demons of the Fallen had been born. Strong of their physical bodies, they used the weapons they had collected to kill more soldiers and feed them to their brethren.

The soldiers of the first battalion sacrificed their lives to give the mages the time to conjure their spells but the Hexagram absorbed all elements but earth and darkness.

The advance of the army was forced to a halt while the troops of the second battalion retreated to escape the Noxious Flames and searched for a way to smother them.

Thrud's soldiers needed just a few breaths to recover even from crippling wounds while Lith's healed the moment they grabbed an enemy. Their Abomination Touch restored even a Demon on the verge of flickering away.

At first, the silver and the black army seemed to be locked in a cycle of death of rebirth. Yet while the dead soldiers stayed down, the golems would share a spark of Lith's life force with a fallen Demon to raise them again.

Trouble and Raptor kept themselves at the opposite sides of the battlefield, conjuring arrays that negated the darkness and the earth element, forcing the enemy to use spells that ended up charging Yurial's Hexagram without even putting a scratch on their target.

Thrud's mages were "students" of the Golden Griffon with centuries of experience that allowed them to quickly grasp their situation. They stopped casting elemental spells and switched to Spirit Magic, using mind links to conjure together arrays in the same time that a tier five spell would have taken.

Barriers suddenly protected what was left of the first battalion while a hail of emerald bullets struck at the golems, stripping the Demons of their protectors. Many of them fell, but before fading they would Blink amid the enemy lines and detonate themselves in Void Flames.

The battle had started for less than a minute and the first battalion was already in shambles while the second was now under attack.
