Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2180

It allowed Thrud to apply kinetic energy to the spells, giving them mass and backing them with her physical might.

On top of that, Phantom Echo generated a second beam and Life Maelstrom increased the power of both spells tenfold. It was the best she could do since Thrud had no idea how to cast Blade Tier spells.

She had practiced with Arthan's set for centuries, but it was still a copy of something that Tyris had crafted for Valeron. After refining her body and Awakening both the Guardian's and the First King's blood she could now tap into the set's full potential but they were still a bad match.

Valeron had been a loving and protecting leader whereas Thrud was driven by rage and ambition.

Acala unleashed Rising Sun just in time, the Blade and the Spirit Spell clashed just a few meters away from him, but it was enough. Rising Sun was fueled by the ex-Ranger's deep violet core and Dawn's power core, both boosted to the next level by their synch.

The power cores of their equipment and steed more than filled the gap with Thrud's dull white and the constant flow of world energy from the mage tower made the spell's destructive power nigh-infinite.

'I wish I could've dodged and then released Rising Sun but Blinking would have slowed me down. At my level, Blade Tier spells require a lot of focus. Focus that I might have lost if I allowed that huge ass beam to follow and hit me.' Acala knew that high-level spells were willpower imbued and capable of chasing their target.

Unless he Warped a kilometer away, Thrud's Royal Griffon would have reached him anywhere before Rising Sun could manifest, locking him into a losing battle.

Thrud immediately felt that despite everything she had, it would take the Blade Spell just a few seconds to overpower her. The steed drew in world energy faster than her white core and even limited the amount at her disposal.

On top of that, the two spells were leagues apart. Spirit Magic was considered the sixth tier of magic, but even with Life Maelstrom and Phantom Echo boosting it, a Tower Blade spell was akin to tier eight.

"I really pity you, Acala." Thrud said with a grunt, her Griffon voice reverberating over the conflicting spells. "You are just like my husband was. A slave forced to serve with a smile on his face."

'Don't listen to her. You are not my slave, but my partner.' Dawn's consciousness had returned to him after losing her body.

'Not anymore, you mean.' Acala's face twisted at the memory of how she had manipulated him, taking control over his life and eroding his mind until he was just a puppet in her hands. 'If not for Verhen's partner, I wouldn't be even here anymore.'

'How many times do I have to tell you that I'm sorry!' Dawn could feel their bond weakening. The destruction of her own body had weakened her and her influence on him.

"Do you know what's the difference between you two?" Thrud asked. "That the moment I learned what my husband was going through, I let him go. He returned to me by his choice. He doesn't want to take part in this war and I respect his decision."

"Shut up, you witch! You know nothing about us!" Dawn said through Acala's mouth, making him waver further.

"What about you?" The Mad Queen ignored her, talking only to Acala. "Why are you here?" _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

The doubt crept into his mind, making him think that maybe Dawn had manipulated him again. Even though she had done everything she could to earn his forgiveness, deep down Acala didn't trust her.
