Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2302

'Please, kill me. I don't want to hurt you.' The Raiju cried non-stop, her muzzle twisting due to her inner conflict yet the horn never stopped.

'And I don't want to hurt you either!' Solus said. 'This is not you, Bytra. Fight it!'

She actually had no way to damage the Raiju from that position, but such a cynical statement would have only compromised Bytra's focus.

'Maybe you can't but I can. Never again!' Bytra felt the Adamant of the Voidwalker give way to her horn and then the piercing through Solus' flesh.

The smell of blood and the sight of the wound gave the Raiju a fit of blood madness that the Unwavering Loyalty array tried to suppress whereas Bytra fanned its flames.

The shock put her two cores at odds as they rejected each other, undoing Vastor's hard work.

'Bytra, no!' Solus could feel the energy inside the Raiju going haywire, her body bloating and contracting in the effort to repress the wild energies.

Solus managed to slip away from the horn, but she couldn't abandon Bytra.

At the same time, Lith was taking quite a beating. Even with the Life Maelstrom boosting him, the gap in experience between him and Zoreth was enormous. The silver lightning put them physically and magically on par, but it wasn't enough.

The Shadow Dragon's every limb was a lethal weapon that she used with surgical precision and ruthless cunning. She fought with her weapon, fists, legs, tail, and fangs whereas Lith had trouble even coordinating War with his tail while flying.

'On the ground I could use my wings to fight back, but in the air, I'm an infant compared to her.' He inwardly cursed as a huge fist slipped past his guard and left a huge dent in his armor.

It also knocked the air out of him, neutralizing the burst of Origin Flames he kept at the ready.

'From below! The left hook is a feint that will turn into an uppercut! Sky Piercer is going to extend the ring and index finger, keeping the middle to stab after shifting your guard!' Zoreth said via the mind link.

If not for the Shadow Dragon explaining her attacks before her body threw them, Lith would have already died 100 times.

"I would love to stay here and witness your death, but sadly I have more important things to do. Glory to Arthan!" Hystar started to walk away as soon as Lith and Solus seemed to be about to die.

A corned or Lith's mind wondered why the academy was in the middle of nowhere and what might be so important to ignore them. Then, the answer to his second question dawned on him.

In the grand scheme of Thrud's plans, his death was of little relevance. Either she didn't consider him a threat or she was keeping him alive to entrust Valeron the Second to him in case of her defeat.

"Everything is set. Are you ready, Theseus?" Nandi asked.

"I am." The Bastet nodded. "Start with Bytra. She's about to blow!"

The Minotaur used the world energy he had collected to open a Warp Steps just big enough for the Raiju to fit.

Static Field didn't seal elemental magic, it just made dimensional spells require insane amounts of mana to overcome the array's interference.

The Minotaur had simply gathered enough power to counter Static Field. Theseus's vines bolted inside the dimensional door, dragging the Raiju near her companions and away from the Golden Griffon.
