Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2191

'I don't care about winning since I can't destroy this fucker.' Solus thought. 'I must only focus on lasting long enough to finish the scan and get out of here.'

'Are you really a Horseman?' Vladion's jaw telepathically hit the floor as he finally made sense of Hystar's words by noticing that Lith had the same energy signature as Solus.

'No. I will explain it later. Now focus only on recovering your strength and looking for an opportunity to help my partner.' Lith replied.

The Eyes of Menadion were completing the scan of the power core while also providing them with accurate information about the fight. They could see the sudden power surge flooding Hystar as he shapeshifted into his battle form.

The golden robe wrapped around his body, turning into a thick armor. His skin turned into stone while a polearm appeared from his right hand and a shield from his left. In the blink of an eye, the Headmaster had transformed into a living golem that closely resembled a stone Royal Fortress armor.

The construct lacked the Davross and its mystical properties but it was connected to the entire power core of the academy and fueled by the mana geyser, making the difference negligible.

'Dammit. I have no idea if touching his armor still counts as direct contact to hijack control of the mana geyser.' Solus thought. 'To make matters worse, I can conjure the arrays stored in the Mouth, but I'd rather keep them as a surprise to escape the moment-'

"What the heck is going on?" A thundering voice derailed her train of thought and froze everyone into place.

It wasn't just for the power and killing intent infused in it, but also because the words reverberated through the academy walls that amplified both the mana and hostility they held by several folds.

Jormun the Emerald Dragon burst through the door followed by several of the Forgotten, all armed to the teeth and with several spells at the ready. Being members of Valeron the second's personal bodyguard, they were the cream of the crop and so was their equipment.

Lith inwardly cursed and turned toward the new enemies, trying to replicate what the Void had done against the Royals and infusing War with Chaos.

"Little brother? What are you doing here?" Jormun recognized Lith from his energy signature and ignored the clash of stone against metal in the background.

"Take a guess." Lith said while Kalla moved behind Vladion, trying to appear as inconspicuous as possible.

If she was forced to fight as well, the scan would stop and there would be no reason to stay there any longer.

"You have come to try and destroy the Golden Griffon, but you have failed." Jormun said.

"Yes." Lith lied through his teeth to buy as much time as he could.

"Hystar, if that woman stops attacking, I order you to stop as well. I want to talk with my little brother without all this noise." The Emerald Dragon's words made the Headmaster flinch in disgust. "This fight is pointless and I want to avoid pointless bloodshed."

Even more so when Solus stepped back and his body froze against his will.

The battle moved from the physical to the mental plane, with Solus trying to steal control of the geyser and Hystar trying to take it back. The good news was that the break allowed her group to focus all Eyes on the power core.
