Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2149

The red of War's blade turned black, increasing its destructive power by several folds and its aura matching the Sword of Saefel's.

The Void focused the spark of Chaos coursing through his body on the fringes of the blade, using a layer of light and darkness to insulate the Adamant from the destructive side effects of the Cursed Element.

War felt its whole being rejuvenated as the black aura fixed the cracks on its surface and generated violent sparks at the point of contact between the two swords. A hard-light construct enveloped the Adamant blade, allowing it to hold its ground against the Davross of the Royal Sword.

Everyone stared in awe and horror as Sylpha was now quickly being pushed back.

'Dammit, all elements but light and darkness are locked by the Palace's arrays since otherwise healers wouldn't be able to do their job. Yet they give an Abomination who's also a Light Master an advantage I can't overcome.' The Queen thought while deactivating the defensive system of the Throne Room to become capable of using magic as well.

Her eyes brimmed with red and yellow mana as she conjured the tier five battle mage spell, Blazing Storm. Two of Derek's white eyes sparked as well, locking not only the blades but also their wielders in a battle of will.

Sylpha recognized Domination and countered with her own, making her hair burst free of her elaborate do as it was flooded with elemental mana. The black and white light of the Abomination clashed against Sylpha's multicolored radiance to a standstill.

Yet even with her enhanced body boosted by the fusion magic of her violet core, the Queen was no match for the raw strength of the Abomination. She activated the elemental crystals embedded in the Saefel Sword to regain control of Blazing Storm and put an end to the fight.

The Sword's power reinforced her Domination while the crystal's aura eroded the Void's control over the Chaos and the light construct. War felt the very power that was supposed to protect it switch sides and ate at its metal.

The angry blade was close enough to study the Sword of Saefel and its semi-sentience did the rest. Every time Lith wielded the weapon, it would learn from him and sometimes teach him in return.

War weaved his Devour, World Mirror, and Counterflow enchantments together to mimic its opponent. Devour allowed the blade to absorb part of the enemy's power, World Mirror granted it mastery over the elements, and Counterflow to overwrite a spell's energy signature.

The violet aura of War's mana crystals turned into the color of the six elements, countering the Sword of Saefel enough for the Void to regain the upper hand. Surprise disrupted the Queen's focus and created the opening he needed to dispel Blazing Storm.

Sylpha was flabbergasted by her equipment failing her and so were the member of the Council who had witnessed War's prowess with Life Vision.

'Lith's eyes might not be colored, but that's Domination alright.' Faluel inwardly cursed. 'I need to stop him before someone understands what's happening.'

The Hydra shapeshifted into her hybrid form, resembling a humanoid being about three meters (10') covered in dull green scales with seven long necks and as many heads.

Faluel's clothes turned into their armor form but she didn't take out any weapon. Her aim was to restrain Lith, not kill him.

All the Void could see, though, was the Royal Guards standing up, the Queen increasing the output of the Saefel Sword to overpower War again, and a friend turning traitor.

"So be it." A flap of his wings plunged the entire Royal castle and most of the city of Valeron into darkness.
