Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2802

Chapter 2802 To Kill a Magus (Part 2)

To make matters worse, while the darkness-infused constructs started to wrap themselves around Lith's limbs and slipped past his defenses, the Nightwalker was relentless in his attack.

Not only was Ulma the better swordsman, hitting more and more often as Dark Mastery restricted Lith's movements, but also the bolts of lightning and ice coming from the elemental spheres phased through him.

Being made from his mana, the various spells did no harm to each other and their caster. By standing in front of Lith, Ulma blinded his vision and kept his sword busy while the projectiles hammered at him from every direction.

Lith conjured another Spirit Barrier but it was instantly destroyed. The Nightwalker lunged with his blade, forcing Lith to block from an awkward position. Then, he had God of Nightstorm exploit the still-clashing blades as lightning rods.

The stream of electricity struck them both, but while Ulma was unaffected, Lith had to use everything he had to limit the spasms. It slowed his reaction time and allowed the Nightwalker to kick him in the chest with the might of a Divine Beast.

Lith was sent flying back, crashing against a wall and opening a few meters deep crater. The four tri-elemental spheres following Urma had the frozen hurricane follow Lith.

The wind pushed him down while the water coating the wall made it slippery. Not only did it make it hard for Lith to get out, but the cold waves also turned the water into a thick layer of ice that glued him to the stones.

Bolts of lightning rained on him without a break, to keep him stunned. All of them carried the darkness element that ate at him and his equipment inside and out.

The Nightwalker had Nightblood move to the tip of his blackened blade, to focus the destructive power of his bloodline ability in a single point.

<nulli>'If this gets past Verhen's armor, the darkness element will be the least of his problems.' Ulma thought. <nulli>'My mana will infect his core and my life force taint his own. It should be enough to kill him, especially if I manage to hit near his heart.'

Lith's body was bruised and battered whereas the Nightwalker's aim was true. Held by a trembling arm, Ragnar?k managed to move the tip of the enemy's blade just enough for the hit to not be lethal.

Ulma smiled, seeing his blade pierce through the Voidwalker armor and Lith's sternum. The perfect place to release Nightblood and have it ravage the lungs and the heart at the same time.

Meanwhile, on the first floor, Solus and the Void had chosen a different approach. After clearing the area with the help of Lith, the Voidfeather, and the Demons, Solus' goal was to find the perfect spot to conjure the tower.

"There's no point in fighting the undead." She said. "It's much better for me to focus on the mana geyser. Once it belongs to us and the tower takes form, the fight will be over."

"Agreed." The Void checked one last time that no enemy was left and then hit the floor with the full strength of his Adamant body.

The room was filled with the six-eyed Demons left while the others waited outside. The Demons moved in synch with the Void, each blow generating a shockwave that made the surroundings shake.

They were exactly above the middle of the mana geyser and the deeper they went, the closer they would get to the motherlode. It took them four hits to make the floor collapse into the room below.

At that point, the rest of the Demons swarmed from above and killed the undead while they were still trapped under the rubble. Once they were done, they rushed out of the doors, drawing attention to themselves and killing more enemies.

"This is highly inefficient." The Void grumbled. "We are splitting our numbers too much. We can't win this way."

"Sure we can." Solus shrugged. "The array control room must be right below us. If we can shut it down, there will be no need to slowly assimilate the power of the geyser.

"The Demons just need to buy us time." Solus hammered at the floor, its self-repair enchantments unable to keep up with the Fury's might. "One more. We just need to clear one more room and then Lith and I will become unstoppable."

Solus couldn't control the Demons of the Darkness by herself because it was Lith's exclusive bloodline ability. With the Void gone so were the black chains connecting him to the rest of the army. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}
