Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2529

Chapter 2529 Voidfeather Dragon (Part 3)

Only enough flesh to keep Lith's memory and mind intact remained, everything else was an ever-shifting mass of pure darkness, so thin that it was nigh-two dimensional.

It was the Shadow Step bloodline ability that belonged to Dark Phoenixes like Kigan and Raaz, were Lith's father ever to Awaken his dormant abilities. The Demons followed suit, disappearing from sight and slithering along the corners of the streets to go unnoticed while they spread throughout the city.

The Voidfeather Dragon's mass was much greater and something of his size moving around was hard to miss, no matter how thin he made himself. He split his body into smaller pieces moving small groups of them at a time but always keeping the fragments close enough to not lose control over them.

This way, he could hide in plain sight, even using bystanders and carriages to move around more quickly.

'I don't get it.' Lith pondered. 'What's the point of compressing the space and blocking dimensional magic inside the city? Sure, most monsters can't use magic above tier three, but some like orc shamans and Fomors can.

'Even if it protects the city from invasions, the moment the position of the underground complex is revealed, dimensional magic would be the least of their problems.'

The Voidfeather Dragon could move solely when nobody was looking in his direction and the Demons confirmed to him that there was no one at the windows of the buildings around him either.

If not for the space compressing array, he could have just sent the smaller and faster Demons as advance scouts and then Warped to their coordinates as soon as they found a safe spot big enough to hide him.

'The real purpose of the array is to focus and compress the world energy. This way, not only does the presence of the mana geyser escapes magical detection from the outside but its energy is also more easily assimilated by the children of Glemos.' The Voidfeather replied.

'The dimensional magic seal is just a side effect since the array doesn't discriminate, compressing the space simply because it's filled with world energy. Modifying the magical formation so as to not hinder dimensional magic would greatly increase its complexity for little return.

'Aside from orc shamans, no unfallen race can use dimensional magic, and out of here, the monsters revert to their fallen state so they wouldn't be capable of Warping inside anyway.'

'How do you know that?' Lith was flabbergasted.

They were supposed to be the same person, but now that the Voidfeather Dragon had calmed down, he seemed smarter and more logical than Lith himself.

'Because I have eyes. How else?' The Divine Beast shared his senses with Lith who remained amazed by what infusing each of his seven eyes with elemental energy achieved.

There was no sudden development of skills like Earth or Water Vision, but by splitting the elements between the seven eyes, the Voidfeather could observe their individual flow.

The air and earth elements from the arrays compressed the world energy and in turn the life force of the monsters who assimilated it, allowing them to keep a semi-unfallen state.

The water element condensed inside the buildings every time someone pushed a button, giving them the equivalent of tap water. The light and the fire elements coursed through street lamps and home appliances to generate respectively light and warmth.

Unlike Life Vision which showed the strength of a person or the runes of a spell, through the Voidfeather Dragon's seven eyes Loth could witness the effects of the flow of magic inside both living beings and inanimate objects.
