Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2035

Chapter 2035 Golden Knight (Part 3)

'I have to keep the female Verhen at bay while using my superior strength to crush the Demons. If they combine their powers or conjure arrays, things can get ugly.' The Thunderborne thought while focusing a second burst of Stormlight against Solus.

While Trouble gave the fallen Demons the strength they needed to reform their bodies, Raptor ran to Solus' side, helping her to stand up.

'Nice trick with the Annihilation, can you do it again?' Locrias asked as he came out of the Golem that he had used as a safe haven against the plasma storm.

'Yes, but I'd need more time than we have.' She had given up on casting Yurial's Hexagram again.

The spell was stored inside the Mouth of Menadion so its casting time was significantly reduced but it would still take a while for someone without body casting.

'If we don't stop this Divine Beast now, she'll wipe us out. Time to start plan D.' Solus said via the mind link and Locrias relayed the message through the chains that bound him to the other souls.

'Copy that.' The ex-captain, Valia, and Trion who still had all six eyes turned toward the Thunderborne and breathed a jet stream of Void Flames in unison.

Leari was still charging the second volley of her when she felt three powerful stings burn the layer of darkness that insulated her physical body from the wild energy it produced.

Void Flames had a highly destructive power, but the small amount that a human-sized creature produced couldn't deal much damage to a 25 meters (82 feet) tall Divine Beast.

The Thunderborne wouldn't have deigned their attack with a second glance if not for the rest of the Demons regrouping and taking a deep breath at once. One burst of Void Flames was a pinprick, three a bother, but one thousand of them was more than enough to turn even a Divine Beast into a pile of ashes.

'Me and my big mouth! I had to jinx it, didn't I?' Leari thought.

"Don't worry about me! I'll draw the enemy fire. You focus on destroying them while they are being so kind to gather." She actually said to the commander of the second battalion who nodded in agreement.

She flapped her wings in order to put enough distance between her and the Demons to dodge the next volley or at least have the time to Blink away safely.

Alas, the moment she took off, clearing the line of fire, she noticed two things.

The Demons were still grouped in the same spot but they seemed to pay her no heed.

"Oh, shit!" Leari saw their bodies brimming with black light as their mouths opened toward the now defenseless second battalion.

The silver lining was that if no one disturbed her, she could easily fry them all at the same time with Stormlight before the Demons attacked. The second item on her agenda, however, was a small lump of dead flesh and Adamant that was bolting towards her.
