Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2190

The Abomination snarled as it unleashed the full power of its Touch, sucking the energy from Lith's surroundings and from Hystar every time he hit the darkness that comprised his body. Yet the difference in power and mass was too big.

Lith could only partly heal the damage before more kept piling up.

"Interesting. This is no shapeshifting, you are truly made of darkness. Now I know how to hurt you." The Headmaster conjured a powerful stream of darkness magic that flooded the stone trapping Lith.

It negated his Abomination Touch and eroded his very essence, causing him pain like never before. Darkness not only hurt his body beyond what fusion magic could stop, but it also triggered his hunger, making it consume him.

Lith roared in outrage as he felt his sanity slipping away. The hunger kept growing until it was the only feeling he had left.

"Where are my manners? Maybe if Verhen won't talk to save his hide, he will to save yours." Hystar waved his hand, sending two flows of darkness toward the rest of his prisoners. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

Soon all three of them screamed in agony, singing a symphony that he had longed for ever since the True Queen had returned.

Alas, it lasted for barely a second.

A mean right hook wiped his smile off his face and sent most of it splattering on the floor in a bloody pulp of teeth and flesh.

"What the-" Hystar had barely the time to turn around when the Sage Staff lunged at his chest with the violence of a collapsing mountain.

The impact blew his ribs, burst his lungs, and squashed his heart. That was just a second before six elemental beams pierced through his body, each leaving behind a hole the size of an orange.

Solus didn't waste time talking and hit the Headmaster in the head with a downward swing of her Fury. The shockwave pulverized him and crushed the stone constructs, freeing her companions.

"Who the heck are you?" Hystar regenerated once again, striking at Solus with the strength of the power core and the mass of the academy.

Solus left the Sage Staff floating beside her, intercepting the fist with her opened palm. The Headmaster couldn't believe his eyes when the petite hand not only stopped the attack, but it also drained his energy.

'Good question. Who the heck is she?' Vladion asked while using his breathing technique to recover his mana.

The mysterious woman was short, barely 1.54 meters (5'1") tall. She wore an armor that was identical to Lith's except that for a few details. The gloves were made of stone instead of Adamant and had seven mana crystals each.

One per knuckle, one in the middle of the backhand, and the last one on the palm. Also, instead of the black slate of the Tiamat, her helm resembled some kind of stone mask with eight magical gemstones shaped and arranged in front of her mouth to resemble a maw.

'A friend.' Kalla replied while resuming the scan of the academy's power core.

Hystar's weakened state more than made up for the lost time and the best thing was that he was getting weaker by the second.

'Leave him to me. You just focus on the mission.' Solus said via the mind link, allowing Vladion to recognize the voice from earlier.
