Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2194

Solus' feet touched the floor and the hammer returned to her hand before Hystar could notice that the spell had become inactive and his guard was still lowered.

"Well played, but inside an academy, the Headmaster is a god!" Hystar let go of the spear and it bolted on its own against Solus. She tried to dodge but discovered to be ankle deep in the stone floor.

The spear struck at her chest at the same time when Hystar shield bashed her and a pillar of pure Spirit Magic erupted from the exposed power core, hitting her in the back.

Solus coughed out a mouthful of blood, painting the gemstones of the Mouth red and losing her focus. The spells she had kept at the ready faded, leaving her only with the enchantments of her equipment and of her tower half available.

Hystar gave her no quarter and kept attacking her from every side by conjuring several new helpers. Instead of frail golems, this time he had the walls, floors, and even the ceiling take part in the fight.

If anyone were to look at the Golden Griffon from the outside, they would have seen the castle keep suddenly shrinking. The missing mass had been displaced in the Headmaster's office in the form of countless limbs and weapons.

Hystar meant to get rid of all the intruders at the same time by exploiting his control over the academy.

It allowed him to conjure out of his body anything he could think of. Not only did his constructs have as much mass as he could spare while keeping the academy operational, but they also channeled the energy from the power core.

'To think that I wouldn't be able to do this without that witch of Linnea.' The Headmaster thought.

'The Queen managed to replace the outdated runes of the academy with modern ones while pregnant, but it was Linnea who gave me the same enchantments of a modern academy. I must remember to thank her before I kill her for good.'

Solus was left with no choice and gritted her teeth in frustration. Vladion was barely holding out and Lith had just gained the upper hand. She couldn't afford to stall for time anymore without putting their lives and the mission in danger.

She activated one of the arrays stored in the Heart of the tower, using the portion of the mana geyser she had taken control of to fuel it. A magic circle formed around her and seven stars of different colors took the form of the Big Dipper.

The spear cracked, the beam was stopped and Hystar managed to step back before his body was crushed only thanks to his shield. His arms had been turned into dust but they were already reforming.

Too bad that once Solus activated Silverwing's Annihilation all of his careful planning went into the gutter anyway. The Spirit Array would usually require seven violet cored Awakened to exert its full prowess and Solus had just a bright blue core.

Yet even a fraction of the power of a mana core as big as the one under the Golden Griffon was enough to fuel the Annihilation.

Each star emitted a beam of elemental energy that lit the room as if a sun had appeared. Hystar's form turned into sand and so did all the constructs he had conjured.
