Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2301

Theseus clenched his fists in frustration, but he didn't move.

Meanwhile, Lith was paralyzed by uncertainty as well.

He knew that getting away from the Shadow Dragon was the smartest thing he could do but his body refused to obey.

Even though they didn't know each other very well, Zoreth was the closest thing to an older sibling Lith had ever had. She had protected him ever since their first meeting, when the Council had put him on trial just for existing.

Back then she knew nothing but his name and that he carried Dragon blood, but it had been enough for Zoreth to call him little brother and stand by his side. She had helped him to protect his family from Night.

She had shared with Lith all the knowledge about Chaos and Origin Flames she had.

Zoreth had introduced him to Sinmara and accompanied him in Verendi. During the trip, she had always looked after Lith and taught him the customs of the unknown continent.

She had helped him to retrieve the Mouth of Menadion from the local Awakened Council and even fought for him against her fellow members of the Organization. When the rest of his so-called siblings from the Dragon and Phoenix bloodlines had turned their back on him, Zoreth had volunteered to help him rescue Phloria.

Even then, she had put him first, warning Lith of the dangers that associating himself in public with an Eldritch would imply. The only reason Zoreth was there that day was him.

'This isn't her battle but mine.' Lith's hand clenched Double Edge's hilt. 'The Unwavering Loyalty array is ravaging her mind yet the only thing Zoreth is worried about is my safety.

'She didn't beg me to save her but to save myself. I'll be damned before I let Thrud take someone else from me. I'll save Zoreth now and then Phloria. I'm not going to lose someone ever again.'

The Shadow Dragon roared her challenge and charged at the Tiamat, her Sky Piercer brimming with Chaos energy.

The Tiamat stood still until the last second before stepping aside with a small flap of his wings and using War to bind the enchanted claws.

Zoreth was over 35 meters (115') tall whereas he was just 25 meters (82') tall.

The weight gap between them measured tons and she had two cores instead of one. Her lips curled in annoyance at his hubris while her mind inwardly screamed in an attempt to stop her own arm.

Sky Piercer clashed against Double Edge, the Chaos eating at the Adamant as the claws extended forward, aiming at Lith's head, lungs, and heart at the same time.

Much to Zoreth's surprise, Chaos was met by light which turned it into darkness and by darkness of Lith's own. The two energies fought on par, just like their arms. Lith let Sky Piercer extend, keeping War close to the claws' tips to maximize the leverage.

Then, he pushed the claws aside and plunged the angry blade right into her chest.

'Thank the gods! I had forgotten that Lith hasn't used Nelia's Life Maelstrom.' Zoreth inwardly sighed in relief. 'It should be enough to fight me on equal footing yet it's still stupid of him. What does he hope to achieve?'

"Wake up, big sister! Fight the array with me." Lith knew that killing a troll was hard just like he knew War's powers like the back of his hand.

The Counter Flow ability hijacked the mana of the Golden Griffon, fighting its effect in a tug of war.

"Nice trick." Zoreth managed to say while keeping herself still. "Yet I don't think it will work."
