Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2305

Dozens of Liches appeared at the dimensional coordinates Lith had provided, outside the Static Field array's area of effect.

They were split into seven-man units and they all held one or more complex magical tools.

"How did you get here so fast?" Lith was flabbergasted.

"The speed of a Lich is directly proportional to her own interests, kid." Rhan the Naga Lich said. "You better get at a safe distance from here. We seem to be boned beyond salvation already. Pun intended."

She rattled her skeletal body to highlight the concept, annoyed that he wasn't laughing at her brilliant joke.

Each group of undead unleashed one Silverwing's Annihilation with body casting while they used their diagnostic instruments to collect as much data possible on the Golden Griffon in the hope to replicate it.

The seven pillars of energy of a single Annihilation held the same power of a Blade Spell and couldn't be countered by elemental sealing arrays. The Golden Griffon was an easy target and had no way to dodge.

The volley of attacks opened deep holes in its armor, hitting the academy with enough strength to make it falter.

"You are too late, maggots." Hystar said. "I don't have the time to play with you anymore so I'm going to be quick and merciless."

Several Silverwing's Bastions appeared all over the Golden Griffon, blocking the Annihilations. The Forgotten inside the academy were channeling their power that the academy further boosted, bringing them on par with the violet cores.

Then, several small doors opened in the Golden Griffon's armor, letting out Thrud's generals. Each Divine Beast was infused with Life Maelstrom and covered by the golden layer of Mana Body.

"Hey, guys." A human male Lich said. "Is it me or are those kids way stronger than they are supposed to be?"

"It's not you." A Hydra Lich replied. "My sensors detect a flow of energy coming from the academy going into the Divine Beasts. According to our update, the Golden Griffon should work in a similar fashion to a mage tower.

"My guess is that by sucking the power of the Royal Array the lost academy has now enough juice to boost its champions as well."

Thrud's Generals couldn't use Origin Flames or Doom Tide due to the lack of world energy so they exploited their raw physical might.

The Liches just turned the Annihilation into a Bastion, forcing the Beasts to a halt before pummelling them into oblivion.

"Either we avoided our war duties too much and these guys have no experience against Liches or they are green." Rhan said. "I mean, the only thing worse than touching a Lich is touching an Abomination."

Direct contact allowed the undead to drain life and energy from their victims, making them their own.

"Kids. What can you do?" The Bastion shifted into an Annihilation again, killing the Divine Beast the moment the Liches had drained him of both the Life Maelstrom and the Mana Body. "I guess that the term anti-Guardian spells is too big a word for them."

With the Divine Beasts falling and the array between the Golden Griffon's hands fading due to the Liches' interference, Lith allowed himself to hope. Nandi was fueling both Solus and his equipment so they were both recovering their strength.

Soon he would be able to join the fray as well.

Alas, soon never came.

"Don't get drunk on our newfound power or forget your training, idiots!" The voice of Iata the Sekhmet snapped the Divine Beasts out of their bloodlust. "Form groups of seven and fight like a unit!"
