Chapter 2054 Best Laid Plans (Part 2)

Her claws ripped the tendons in Lith's right hand, making him lose the grip on War and allowing her to Warp the dangerous blade dozens of kilometers away.

'That thing isn't just a weapon like those that the Queen forged for us. It's part of the Tiamat's power. Without it, he can't express his full abilities.' She thought and she was right.

It was thanks to War that Lith could use Domination with such ease. The blade's abilities complemented his own and there was no strategy in his playbook that didn't make the best of the special bond he shared with it.

With his limbs pinned by the Sekhmet's legs during the freefall, the only thing that Lith could do was to breathe a burst of Origin Flames but his shallow breath greatly reduced its efficacy.

It was the only reason he survived his blunder.

Iata had trained against Jormun the Emerald Dragon, an opponent who had mastered the Origin Flames after spending over 500 years trapped inside the Golden Griffon. During her clash with Lith, she had been wary of the possible tactics he might employ, but now she had realized how little he could do compared to her mentor.

The moment Lith had inhaled, she had felt his temperature rising as the Flames spread throughout his body before erupting from his scales.

'The kid is so devious that I had forgotten he's just nineteen. Without a master, he didn't have the time to learn how to control his bloodline abilities. He can only breathe the Flames from his mouth like a dragonewt or from his body.

'He's just a two tricks pony.' She headbutted the Tiamat while he was still inhaling, making him lose control of the world energy.

The Origin Flames manifested inside his body, eating at his flesh and blood without being hindered by the Voidwalker armor or any of its protective enchantments. Lith's seven eyes boiled, blinding him and sealing Domination.

His throat burned, stopping his breath and making it impossible for him to use Invigoration. Smoke came out of his ears along with two tongues of fire that burst his eardrums.

His charred muscles stiffened, becoming useless.

The Tiamat had become blind, deaf, and paralyzed, incapable of using body casting. He had taken so much damage that without a healing spell, light fusion would take minutes to restore his mobility.

Yet he had only a few seconds left to live.

Lith crashed against Belius' plains at terminal velocity, bearing both his own weight and that of the Sekhmet. His bones shattered on impact, piercing his own flesh and puncturing his organs despite the Spirit Barrier he had conjured at the last second.

The emerald sphere had expanded outwards from his body, both cushioning the impact and pushing Iata away. She had been taken by surprise and sent tumbling on the ground.

The Sekhmet had taken little damage, but Lith had bought himself a bit more time.

'Fuck me sideways. My only option is to either manage to restore enough of my throat to use Invigoration or hope that Solus has recovered her strength and can help me. Otherwise I'm finished.' He thought while focusing light fusion on his windpipe.

Lith knew that turning his head around would only cause him agony but he did it anyway in the hope that at least one of his senses could perceive Iata's next attack and allow him to further prolong his life. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
