Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2103

Chapter 2103 Fairy Queen (Part 1)

Or better, The Demons of the Fallen were charging at Tista's wings.

They passed through the True Flames without getting burned, the white fire bursting out of her feathers shared instead of mindlessly unleashed.

Strong of their new power, the True Demons Blinked past the protection of Sunder, shielding Tista and the artifact with their own bodies.

Linnea's mouth opened in fear as the number of True Demons increased by the second. Soon there were so many of them that by combining their Cursed Flames they were not only repelling Meltdown, but they were also slowly advancing.

'What the heck is going on?' Tista could feel the burden from the True Flames decreasing as more and more Demons stepped through her wings.

'Yes, Tista. I'm alright. Thanks for asking.' Solus' voice was supposed to sound sarcastic but it was amazed instead.

'Good gods, Solus, I'm so sorry! I completely forgot that you were still at my finger and that by conjuring the True Flames that way I would put you into danger. Are you sure you are not hurt?' The Red Demon asked.

'I'm not hurt. Quite the contrary.' The stone ring was ablaze as well, but just like for the Demons, the Cursed Flames were tame.

'How the heck is this possible?'

'Off the top of my hat, I have no logical explanation. If you believe in superstition, I have one, though. Nana's last words.' Solus replied.

'What do you mean?' Tista felt her head spinning.

'She called Lith "King of the Spirits" and his power turned out to be about having authority over the souls of the dead who choose to follow him. Nana called you "Fairy Queen", instead, not "Queen of something".

'If Nana was right, it means that your power isn't about controlling others but about bestowing your power upon others, like a Queen when she blesses her knights before sending them to battle.' Solus said.

'It would be amazing! This way conjuring and holding inside my body two kinds of Cursed Flames would no longer be dangerous for my life force. I can use the first to attack and the second to empower my allies.

'Yet this is odd. How could Nana predict any of this and why I can't use this power on myself? Also, do you think that Lith has it too since Mogar called him the Father of all Demon?' Tista asked.

'I'm sorry, I've forgotten my crystal ball in another ring.' Solus replied with a snort. 'Focus on the battle. Linnea's spell is almost spent but so are your bodyguards.'

Even with the boost from the True Flames, the Demons had no way to recover from the damage they had taken from Meltdown whereas Linnea only needed to keep her breathing rhythm steady to recover the mana spent.

Her body ached from the mana abuse and Invigoration could now restore barely 60% of her strength but the Demons had just 3 eyes left at most. They couldn't afford to use magic or Flames without becoming so weak that they would pose no threat to Linnea any longer.

They were already slow in her eyes, but at least the darkness that composed their body was still too dense for the Headmistress to just tank the blows. The shards of the barrier floating around her now moved clumsily, her mind and body exhausted from the unrelenting onslaught.

The Demons attacked her from every side, deforming their shadow bodies to bypass Linnea's defenses every time an opening appeared. Tista had immediately joined them, taking another deep breath in order to bestow new power onto the Demons.

Her vision became blurry and her knees buckled, feeling her heart and lungs throb.
