Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2056

Chapter 2056 Checkmate (Part 2)

Without the angry blade, the only piece of equipment with a power core that Lith had crafted was his Voidwalker armor. With that alone Ruin couldn't manifest half of its power due to the lack of offensive skills of the artifact.

Silverwing's Annihilation, instead, only required for seven Awakened to be assembled. Varegrave, Valia, Locrias, and Trion had answered Lith's call, returning by his side as quickly as they could.

All the Demons that Lith conjured were Awakened and by sharing his knowledge through the mystical chains that bound them to him, it was as if they had practiced all day with Faluel as well.

After being recharged, they had still six eyes each, bringing them just one step below Lith. Varegrave had been a Demon for just a few minutes but what he lacked in experience he more than made up for it with his mastery of magic.

After serving for decades in the army and being entrusted with the Small World multiple times, the late colonel outperformed even Trion who in life had lacked any magical talent of sorts.

The weakest link in the formation was Solus with her blue core since both Silverwing's spells required to have reached the violet minimum. Yet she used the technique she had developed to cast Blade Tier spells in order to tap into the power cores of her equipment and fill the gap with the others.

Crank was the only one with a bright violet core so he took point and harnessed the seventh element of magic, taking control of the Annihilation. Devouring Light was a powerful tier five Spirit Spell but Silverwing's legacy outshone it like the sun does the stars.

Iata used all the power left in her equipment and the spells she had at the ready, but to no avail. The Annihilation vaporized her and the Adamant she wore on contact, turning a treasure worthy of a king into a silvery mist.

Then, the spell moved upward where the Sekhmet's allies were still fighting. Crank didn't let the power of the Annihilation go to waste, cutting through the enemy lines like a hot knife through butter.

"We did it!" The Hyperion shouted in triumph. "Belius is safe. You are safe. Both my paychecks are as good as signed."

As the emerald pillar disappeared, Lith could see with his keen Tiamat eyes that Thrud's forces were scattering in a hasty retreat both in the sky and on the ground. Even the pillar surrounding Solus disappeared marking the end of her tribulation.

'We really did it.' She said via the mind link amid tears, listening to the cries of joy that the wind carried all the way from Belius. 'I shaped more than metal. I gave those people the hope and strength they needed.

'For the first time in my life, I fought not for you, but for myself and everything I believe in.'

"Wrong." Lith said to them both. "You saved me, Crank. You succeeded, Solus. The Kingdom is fucked."

"What do you-" A sudden gust of cold wind cut her short, quickly followed by pouring rain.

Only then did they lower their gaze and notice what was truly happening.

Jirni's quick thinking had allowed the Council's forces to understand the real goal of the Mad Queen and Lith's intervention had tipped the scales of the battle as the Royals had hoped.

Not even Thrud could have predicted that someone capable of using Blade Tier spells would have interfered, nor factored for the prowess of Solus, the Demons, and the Golems.

Due to the Kingdom's weather mages meddling with the air currents, the storm had been unleashed outside Belius but the persistence of the Mad Queen's generals had brought it close enough to make it work anyway. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
