Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2351

'A normal person would put the power core in the chest. It's the largest and the best-protected part of the academy. Only an idiot would put it in the head. It's exposed and if decapitated, the Golden Griffon would become a sitting duck.' Lith said.

'So next stop the head.' Bytra understood Lith's reasoning.

'Yeah. Thrud isn't dumb but she is cunning. She may have chosen a dumb spot to make it hard to predict.' He replied.

'What the heck is Verhen doing?' The security system showed Lith's path to Hystar, but the Raiju moved so fast that by the time she was pinpointed, Bytra was already hundreds of meters away.

On top of that, the Cursed Headmaster couldn't focus on the mystery. Marth was attacking with everything he had and it was more than Hystar could take.

'If Lith succeeds, there's no point in saving my strength. I'll make this fucker pay for attacking my wife!' Marth snarled as his blade locked the opponent's, his shield pushed away Hystar's, and his right leg bolted up like a whip.

Marth's kick struck the Golden Knight in the chin with his heel, the impact snapping the head up.

Hystar staggered for a second, long enough for Marth to Blink behind him and perform a shoulder bash that sent the lost academy sprawling on the forest.

"Try laughing now, you bastard!" Manohar's spell, Supernova, appeared out of thin air.

Yet instead of surrounding the fighters, the hard-light spheres encased the Golden Knight in a concentric formation. At a snap of Marth's fingers, they imploded in unison, leaving Lith unscathed even though he was just centimeters away.

Hystar, however, couldn't say the same. The Mad Professor had developed several versions of Supernova and this one was designed for indoor fights while protecting his students.

Casting Supernova in this form reduced its power while focusing it on a single opponent. Not a single iota of energy was lost, filling the Golden Griffon's armor with thin cracks.

Cracks that started to heal the moment Hystar regained his footing.

"Idiot! Struggle all you want, we are both fueled by the Royal Array. Soon you'll run out of energy and then I'll destroy you!" The Cursed Headmaster roared.

At the same time, Lith had finished scanning the head of the Golden Griffon, finding it empty.

'Chest it is.' He said and Bytra followed his directions.

For once luck didn't laugh in his face and he found the power core after scanning about 50% of the chest.

'There!' Lith had the image of a huge X appear in front of Bytra's eyes thanks to the mind link.

The Headmaster's office wasn't in the place of the heart but of the left lung. _{freёwebnovel.com}

'Copy that!' The Raiju consumed most of the Life Maelstrom she had received from Nelia to cast a powerful Chaos Annihilation.

She moved her head in a diagonal trajectory from down left to up and right, then all to the left and down again to the right.

The X that Lith had telepathically shown her was now visible to everyone, carved in the armor by the Chaos spell.

"That's our cue!" Zoreth said as the fallen descendants of the six originals gods of magic assumed a formation that resembled the Big Dipper.
