Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2465

The three-pronged attack was bound to create an opening that at least one of the living legacies would manage to exploit and win the battle. Unless the hybrid pulled off something new, of course.

Much to their surprise, the colossus moved as if they had eyes behind their head. They unleashed the Tower Tier spell, Nova Eclipse, on Knightfall while the right hand wielding War struck at Stargazer and the left hand holding the Fury attacked Windfell.

The angry blade looked like a short sword in the colossus' hand. Double Edge encasing was already encasing War, but the size of the hybrid far exceeded those of a Divine Beast.

The Eyes of Menadion looked at both Double Edge and the shield, assessing the usefulness of the latter artifact against creatures so small.

Lith and Solus lacked proper training and blocking with the shield would impede the Fury's movements. The tower answered by dispelling the artifact and using its materials to craft a better version of Double Edge of a suitable size.

Nova Eclipse was the tower version of the tier five War Mage spell, Final Eclipse, and it was comprised of the fire, darkness, and air elements. The black flames were fanned by a powerful air current that turned them into a cyclone.

The fast-spinning flames created a vacuum, sucking the cursed shield in.

Knightfall tried to dodge, but in his weakened state he couldn't escape the pull of a tower spell that reached the prowess of a natural phenomenon. Also, he had lived and fought long enough to know how to beat it.

Knightfall pretended to struggle with all his might and then fall prey to the vortex. Knowing that he had no chance of victory, he let the current suck and guide him toward the eye of the storm.

The spell was bound to be devised to keep its victims away from its only safe spot, but Knightfall was a dimensional mage, and even in such a maelstrom he managed to grasp the dimensional coordinates of his destination and Blink there under the cover of the flames.

'I've taken minimal damage and while Windfell and Stargazer fight for their lives, I can catch my breath.' The host of the cursed shield grinned in stead of its master while gulping down nutrients' potions.

'The best part is that Verhen's spell itself protects me from his Life Vision. By the time he discovers what really happened, I'll have recovered enough to defeat him or escape based on how-' His train of thought suddenly froze along with his body.

Nova Eclipse had turned into its Void version, Nova Prison.

Darkness had turned into a hard-light construct while air had assembled the debris scattered around by the battle into solid stone. Fire had turned into water that seeped through the other two elements, drenching the enemy before turning into ice.

Light and earth magic combined their strength to seal both Knightfall's movements and his body casting. The hard light filled even the tiniest gap between the rocks, preventing air to get in or out.

Nova Prison acted as a sealed vise that slowly crushed its victim while the sudden temperature drop made everything brittle. The Davross of the cursed shield was unfazed by the spell, yet Knightfall started to panic and desperately looked for a way out.
