Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2036

Chapter 2036 Golden Knight (Part 4)

The Cursed Flames killed dozens of soldiers at once while the explosion they produced upon impact killed hundreds and wounded even more. Leari was so shocked by the disappearance of Stormlight that she reacted to Solus' attack one second too late.

She struck at the creature's chest with the Davross head of the Fury, making short work of the Adamant armor that was supposed to protect the Thunderborne. Both the enchanted metal and the ribcage underneath became covered in cracks.

Leari's wings spasmed as breathing had become agony, yet it was also her quickest way to recover. Solus recalled her weapon to her hand and moved past the Divine Beast, but not before throwing the Fury at the Thunderborne again in a backhand move.

The Furies' Flight ability activated, splitting the hammer into three which in turn split into three again.

Each one of the nine hammers absorbed the surrounding world energy through the white crystals on their surface, working in unison to produce a powerful gravity field that gave the small heads of Davross the kinetic energy of a meteor.

The first Fury struck the Thunderborne's head, interrupting her breathing technique and forcing her to bend down. The second hit her square on the spine and the wings stopped moving. Four hit the wings, breaking them, while the remaining three Furies pummelled at the Divine Beast's lower body.

Every strike opened more cracks in the Adamant armor and opened new painful wounds, but none of them was strong enough to kill.

'If only I had a gods' damned mana geyser at my disposal.' Solus inwardly cursed. 'It doesn't matter. I don't have to win this, just buy as much time as I can.'

While the Furies still harassed the Thunderborne, keeping her from recovering from her wounds and inflicting more, Solus brought her right hand to her neck and the Sage Staff returned to its full size.

She inhaled deeply, using Sky Blessing to refill her mana and charge Raptor.

Sharing the same energy signature as Lith allowed her to fuel the golems, but the lack of his bloodline abilities made it impossible for her to replenish his life force stored in the Spirit Crystals.

At the same time, she used the runes etched on the surface of the staff to complete those she had weaved with her mind and conjure the tier three gravity spell, Flipside.

Suddenly the soldiers of Thrud's second battalion found themselves falling upwards as gravity had been reversed and increased tenfold. Their screams echoed through the battlefield while their shining armors made them look like silvery stars that were visible from Belius' walls.

Then, the moment they reached the fringes of Flipside's area of effect, the gravity changed direction again. Solus moved the center of attraction from the sky to the middle of the third battalion.

The dozens of people caught by her spell were now falling under the effects of the amplified gravity, turning into living Orichalcum-coated projectiles. The impact killed barely a hundred people but the shockwave broke their formation, slowing the advance of the rest of the army.

The soldiers and the mages stationed over the city walls rejoiced, cheering so loudly that the wind carried their words to Solus.

In their voices there was no hate toward Lith or her. The people of Belius weren't wishing for the death of their enemies either. Those were screams of hope and gratitude that warmed Solus' heart.

'Mom was a great Forgemaster, but now I understand why people know about her work but are completely oblivious of her life.' She thought. 'By locking herself inside her lab first and her tower later, Menadion abandoned Mogar.
