Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2797

2797 Counter Measures (Part 1)

Yet a sliver of life force was enough for the Voidfeather to couple his mastery over the elements with the full set of elemental crystals to suck in the incoming spells, cleanse them from their caster's energy signature, and shoot them back in the form of raw elemental pillars.

Lith had studied the Balor's eyes long enough to understand the underlying principles of their bloodline abilities and the Voidfeather had mastered the elemental crystal enough to mimic them.

A living body would have been ravaged by mana poisoning and damaged by the violent spells temporarily coursing through it, but both were irrelevant problems to a Golem.

Blue magic circles surrounded the Voidfeather Dragon, each holding a different spell as they followed him in his advance. The undead were still shocked by seeing their best spells fade into nothingness when beams of incandescent light hit them.

The tier three Light Mastery spell, Sunburst, generated laser-like heat rays that moved as fast as a bullet, yet light and fire inflicted little damage to an undead body. The Dragon used Void Magic to turn fire into ice and light into darkness.

The ice clogged the joints of the undead's armor and stuck to them so that the darkness it carried could seep inside the undead without wasting one iota of mana. Then, the Voidfeather lit the yellow eye and unleashed a lightning bolt that filled the corridor.

The electricity stung at the undead, but that was it.

When it turned into solid rock, trapping them inside a stone coffin, however, it was a problem. With their joints already clogged by ice and encased in rock that made it impossible to exert leverage, even someone as strong as an undead needed time to break free.

Time that the Voidfeather didn't grant them, activating one of the magic circles so that the blinding light produced by bolts of lightning turned into a haze of darkness. By the time the undead managed to free themselves, the ever-shifting tide of attacks had inflicted grievous wounds upon them.

The silver lining was that they were many and the Golem was one.

"Gentlemen, if you please." The horde of Demons hiding behind the Voidfeather struck at the weakened enemies in a frenzy, slaughtering them like cattle.

Once the last undead turned into ashes, the Demons still had six eyes each and the Dragon was done preparing the next batch of spells. His advance was slower than Lith's and Solus.'

He had no way to recharge the black cores of the Demons so he had to make each hit count.

Lith avoided the strong barriers fueled by the mana geyser since dealing with them was a waste of time unless they led to the lower floors. He didn't rush in his advance, taking the time to replenish his strength and Ragnar?k's scabbard as he studied the enemy defense formations from a distance.

'It seems I have to get past that junction if I want to proceed.' Lith's eyes spotted a golden barrier similar to the one that Solus had just overcome.

He had tried the other routes and they all ended the same way. It might have been considered a waste of time if in doing so he hadn't also cleansed the entire area of undead.

Lith took a deep breath and so did the Demons. Their mouths filled with Void Flames, filling the corridor with an eerie glow. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
