Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2263

Only when the mass of shadows started to split, growing arms, legs, heads, and wings did Thrud understand what was happening.

"How many Demons of the Darkness has he conjured?"

"256, now 512 and counting." Ufyl replied as his Dragon Eyes allowed him to quickly estimate the enemy numbers as the blackness spread. "One thousand, two thousand, the fuckers grow geometrically in number! If it keeps like this, they-

"Never mind. Thank the gods it stopped at three thousand."

"What the fuck are you sighing in relief for?" Xoola said. "That's still 3,000 soldiers for free and it gets worse. Look!"

Even with the help of his Golems and the geyser, there were only so many souls that Lith could conjure at the same time. Yet he didn't plan to start attacking until quality matched quantity.

What the Fenrir was staring at in horror was the number of eyes of the Demons going from one to six in the span of a few seconds.

In the blink of an eye, the sky in front of Phogia had become filled with 3,000 immortal creatures, each one with the power of the violet core and the bloodline abilities of a Tiamat.

"Phase three is a go!" Lith's voice sounded like the wind howling out from an abyss that somehow had learned how to speak, yet it was clear as it resounded throughout the air and reached the allied army.

"What the heck is he doing?" Thrud slammed on the armrest of her throne, shattering it in frustration.

"I don't know!" Phloria had no advice to offer, feeling as baffled as her liege.

"If we don't step in now, there will be no way to stop Verhen later." Xoola said via the communication amulet.

"And what exactly can you do against a whole army of Demons who can use Spirit Magic and have a mana core as strong as yours?" The Mad Queen said with a snort. "Wait for an opening. If there isn't any, just hold your position.

"If you get killed, it will take days for you to reform."

Lith had just finished yelling when he took a deep breath, and with him the Demons. At his feet, Trouble and Raptor were inhaling as well, the silver of their Adamant skin covered by a thick layer of blackness.

Velagros and Valia had become Demons right after their death, gaining the opportunity to retain their original body. Necromancy kept the corpses perfectly preserved and Lith would take them out of his dimensional pocket before every battle.

It granted the two former members of the Queen's Corps to be always reborn straight into Demons of the Fallen, without the need to find a host body. Trion and Velagros weren't so lucky so they had to make do with the Golems.

Merging a Demon with the constructs granted the souls a physical body and to use the power core in addition to the black core they were reborn with. Also, it gave the Golems a brain and the full scope of Lith's bloodline abilities.

Velagros was the oldest of his Demons so Lith had entrusted him with Trouble. The Balor had a humanoid body and Lith hoped that the three elemental crystals that replaced its Evil Eyes might synergize with the Velagros' Tiamat Eyes.

'Great Mother almighty, Verhen was right.' The former Captain of the Queen's Corps thought as the Balor's body welcomed the six eyes as if they were its own. Circulating their power was second nature to it.
