Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2050

Chapter 2050 Time's Up (Part 2)

Thrud's generals had done a nice work building up the mother of all storms but that also meant that arcs of electricity could randomly appear anywhere.

Their light blinded the fighters, their noise deafened if not even burst the eardrums of those too close to their origin point, and anyone who got even grazed by a bolt of lightning would fall to the ground all hot and crispy.

On top of that, in the chaos of the battle even defending against an attack could be fatal for your own allies.

The spells that the Awakened used and especially Silverwing's produced powerful shockwaves when blocked. If another unit was caught by them in the middle of a maneuver, their formation would crumble and the opponent would quickly dispose of them.

Dodging was even worse since the spells would travel for hundreds of meters if not kilometers before losing cohesion. The smartest of the Awakened always aimed their spells so that they would line up with at least three enemy units that would be hit if they missed their original target.

"I need to re-join my comrades to use Silverwing's spells." Faluel said. "Try to stay close enough to me that I can help you if something bad happens but far away enough to not be caught by the aftermath of a clash."

"Where does this leave me and our deal?" The Hyperion asked.

"Stick to Lith and make sure that nothing bad happens to him. I can take care of myself." The Hydra's seven heads scoured the skies, searching for her unit before bolting away with a flap of her wings.

Meanwhile, Lith used his breathing technique to bring back the Demons of the Fallen who had lost their bodies during the clash with the Thunderborne and recharge his golems.

He knew that each use of Invigoration made its next use less effective, but the clock was ticking. Violent high-altitude winds made it difficult for him to stand still amid the storm and quickly pushed the clouds forward.

The storm front had already reached the plains in front of Belius and couldn't be allowed to move any further.

'If it gets closer to the city, once it meets the hot winds the ensuing storm will hit both Thrud's army and Belius. The problem is that while an army can just retreat a city can't move. We need to stop it now!' Lith said via a mind link.

'Thanks for the information, captain obvious.' Crank replied with a sneer. 'Any idea how to achieve something that not even the Council's forces managed to?'

Yellow and emerald flashes from the bolts of lightning and the conflicting Silverwing's spells blinded the Tiamat as he turned his head around to study their predicament.

Each one of Thrud's soldiers was weak compared to Council elders like Faluel, but they had the advantage of surprise and a good plan backing them. The Kingdom had prepared for a battle of might and magic, but it was ill-prepared to face a natural disaster.

To make matters worse, the Mad Queen had instructed her troops in seven-men units as well. Fake mages were incapable of casting Silverwing's spells, making the bulk of the Kingdom's forces and even the Queen's Corpse useless.

Thrud knew that the seven fake Awakened would have been split between the three cities to guarantee them the same degree of protection but this way the elite unit couldn't show its true prowess.

The enemy Awakened had placed arrays throughout the thunderclouds to keep them packed and not let the accumulated energy scatter in case their focus was otherwise required. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
