Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2047

Chapter 2047 Split in Two (Part 1)

The accumulated damage drowned Ufyl's senses, making him lose focus. Without darkness fusion keeping the pain at bay, the Divine Beast failed to control both World Crusher and his own body.

As the spell faded, his hands spasmed and his knees buckled up. The moment Strife's haft was free from his grip, Faluel pierced Ufyl's heart. The glaive emitted a pulse of darkness magic that made the lungs rot and blocked his breathing technique.

The seven heads wheezed in unison in the attempt to heal their wounds with Invigoration. Air, blood, and life abandoned the corpse of the Seven Headed Dragon who disappeared in a flash of light, quickly followed by his equipment.

Once the emerald sphere disappeared, Faluel was panting hard, her body in no better condition than those of the human soldiers. Yet it only took her one breath to start healing.

"Thanks, if not for your help, this would have been much more-" The words died in her mouth when she turned around and witnessed what had happened to her allies.

Her injuries were bearable because her body was huge and her armor a masterpiece. The humans were much smaller and worse equipped. Despite Varegrave's efforts, being so close to a tier five Spirit Magic spell had brought most of them to the brink of death.

"Where the heck are the reinforcements?" She took her communication amulet out while her seven heads triaged the victims and cast many healing spells at the same time. "Didn't you hear the Royals?"

"Did you?" The annoyed voice of the Council's human representative answered from the other end. "The order was to abandon position and move the fight to the Divine Beasts in the sky. Not to help the Tiamat.

"The army of humans is irrelevant. Only the thunderstorm matters."

"Lith asked for our help!" She replied in outrage.

"Foolish child! We are doing this for him as well as for us! His efforts will be worth nothing if Belius falls. Our fallen will have died for nothing. Stop listening to your heart and think with your brain!

"This is a war, saving a single life means nothing. The human soldiers are just expendable pawns while Thrud's generals cannot be killed until we get rid of the Golden Griffon.

"First we need to stop the storm front. Only then can we worry about the rest. Raagu out."

Faluel cursed the human representative for her heartlessness and because she was right. Yet the Hydra didn't feel like abandoning all those people behind. They were so small and fragile yet they had bravely fought against a titan.

If not for their help and for Varegrave using the Small World to protect her, the fight wouldn't have ended so smoothly. The Hydra turned her head for an instant to check on Lith.

She saw Crank beating the Sekhmet like a dirty rug and felt reassured enough about her apprentice's well-being to keep treating the humans. She used healing spells to stabilize those heavily wounded, avoiding to consume her breathing technique.

It didn't matter if she used it on herself or on others, with every use Lifestream would lose its efficacy. She had no idea what was about to happen and couldn't risk it becoming ineffective once when she needed her breathing technique the most.

The head in charge of the triage noticed that, despite the first aid she had already provided him, Varegrave's life force kept waning.
