Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2672

2672 The Worst of Both Worlds (Part 2)

They walked up to the still-burning, still-screaming M'Rael whose body was now fully engulfed in blue flames. His life force was spent, making his skin sag like molten wax and his muscles thin like branches after a draught.

There was nothing left of the proud elf who had dreamed of rebuilding the elven Kingdom. Even his Soul Projection now showed him burning alive in a blazing inferno, his mouth opened in a silent scream that matched the main body's.

"You were so cocky when you gave me orders." Solus put one hand on War's hilt and the other on M'Rael's jaw, closing it shut so that only her voice remained. "You felt so entitled to steal me away like a petty thief and then abuse me to your heart's content."

Being so close to him, seeing his face, and hearing his pathetic whimpers almost drove her over the edge with fury. Yet she had to hold it in, refusing to give him a quick or easy death.

"Now that our roles are reversed, I have only one order for you." She pried his mouth open with violence while the second jaw of the hybrid lowered and moved millimeters away from him, as if she wanted to kiss him.

"Die!" A jet stream of Origin Flames went down M'Rael's throat without burning anything in its path.

Solus was using Lith's mastery over the mystical flames to attack only part of the lungs, the liver, the kidneys, and the brain stem. By damaging the lungs, she had sealed M'Rael's breathing technique and made every breath an agony.

The damage to the liver and kidneys brought him pain and spread toxins throughout his body, causing a cascade of organ failure.

But the real kicker was the brainstem.

Solus had destroyed the centers that regulated involuntary breathing so M'Rael had to work through the pain and will his lungs to fill themselves with air. The moment he lost focus or the pain blinded him, he stopped breathing.

The elf went into a panic, desperately searching for a way to survive but he found only despair. The damage to his body was so extensive that only Invigoration could have fixed him.

Too bad that the only people who could use it were the same ones he had just tried to murder.

"That's a bit extreme." Ajatar said.

"Cry me a river, fucking lizard!" Solus' snarl pushed the Drake back several meters and left two deep trenches in his wake. "First get yourself enslaved, then, when you have first experience on the matter, you can preach to me about forgiveness."

'Solus, I get that you are angry, but War is still dying.'Lith didn't like being the one who pulled the brakes but he liked what Solus was becoming even less.

It was a mix of him and her while they both were at their worst.

'You are right, sorry.' Solus savored M'Rael's agony and despair for one last second before turning him into ashes.

She couldn't stay long enough to see him die and she couldn't risk that someone might take pity on him. She wanted him dead and to make sure that he had no way to be brought back, not even as an undead.

'Do you think we are in trouble?'Lith asked, fighting to not let Solus' fury drown her and attempting to calm her down. 'I mean, for showing everyone our fusion?'
