Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2266

"No offence, Your Majesty, but how can you be so sure this is the right place?" Ufyl asked.

"Because I just got reports of the Kingdom's army stopping in front of Bima." Thrud replied.

"You mean surrounding Bima."

"You heard me. This time they aren't even pretending to siege it. Move your asses and get down. I'm sending reinforcements right now, but Bima is just a medium-sized city of secondary importance so it has no Warp Gate." The Mad Queen said.

The two Divine Beasts cursed their bad luck and obeyed her orders.

Lith had escaped their range of detection so they had no idea where he was or what he was doing. That changed the moment Thrud hung up the call.

They were about to fly down when a blazing meteor fell down the sky.

A meteor the size of a Divine Beast.

Lith had reached the limit of Mogar's atmosphere before taking a dive down, adding gravitational acceleration to his own. He had infused his body with the power of the elements and each flap of his wings produced a boom of thunder.

At the same time, he had created a wind blade in front of him to reduce air friction and generate a slipstream effect that further increased his speed. Gravity fusion added the final touch, increasing his weight tenfold and everything that came with it.

Even though he used the air blade as a shield, at his speed the air friction was still enough to set the air around him ablaze and heat the black Voidwalker armor he wore to the point of painting it red.

Lith's descending trajectory was diagonal to have the time to both garner more speed and correct his course as he came closer to the ground. He could have hit Bima from above, but that would have been pointless.

The arrays would have immediately closed and the civilian casualties would have been uncountable. He would have found himself surrounded and the army would still be locked out.

It was the reason he was slowly steering up, using the air currents under his wings and bursts of heat rays from his hands and feet to turn his descent from a nosedive to an almost horizontal path by the time he reached the city's level.

The Royal army was deployed at a safe distance from Bima, on either side of the main road leading to the city gates. The moment they saw the black meteor closing in in a trail of fire, they raised their energy shields and braced for impact.

Lith emitted jet-bursts of light and fire from his limbs to further accelerate in the final stretch as the tower coated him in a second layer of armor, doubling his weight.

Even without a mana geyser, Solus could still assume her tower form, but it came at the cost of her energy. On top of that, it would just be a stone building since her weak core didn't have the power to support the tower's enchantments.

It was the reason Lith had rested for so long on the mana geyser outside Phogia and departed only at the last minute. This way, Solus had the time to recover and overcharge both her mana and power core.
