Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3551

A Hippogriff was not as fast and strong as a Behemoth but Solus was no Lith either.

Her deep violet aura gave Shasa a clear measure of her strength. The gap between Solus and the Hippogriff was small, the combination of Life Maelstrom and toxin-enhanced potions made him superior both physically and magically.

Solus perceived every movement of the incoming mace through the Full Guard enchantment of her armor but her body failed to keep up with the attack. She knew from the moment she had seen the Hippogriff that Life Maelstrom would have been a huge factor in their fight.

It was the reason she had prepared the tier five Spirit Spell, Griffon Fetters, while keeping Shasa in check. Emerald chains erupted from her body and wrapped themselves around the Hippogriff, restricting his movements.

Menadion and Solus attacked at the same time, the First Ruler of the Flames deflecting the spiked mace with her hammer and Solus lunging with the Sage Staff to make up for the short reach of her arms.

Menadion’s Fury kept moving in an arch aimed at Shasa’s head that forced him to intercept the hammer with his shield, leaving himself exposed. The Sage Staff hit him like a truck, bending his armor and smashing his ribcage before sending him to crash into the wall behind Kugoh’s desk.

Solus pressed forward, conjuring a wall of hard-light shields and weapons. The former intercepted Shasa’s spells aimed at Lith while the latter forced him to retreat into a corner of the room.

The Hippogriff shrieked in fury and desperation, alerting Kugoh that their plan had been foiled.

Shasa’s shield was the only thing stopping Menadion’s Fury from smashing his head and his mace was locked in combat with Solus’ Fury. The sheer violence of each clash and block numbed his arms until he could barely raise them anymore.

The Hippogriff conjured several tier five Battle Mage spells like Elemental Armaments and Personal Army that gave him respectively soldier- and weapons-shaped ice constructs, but they were no match for Solus’ Light Mastery.

’This woman is no weakling. She can fight and fight well at that. Why has she done nothing until now?’ Only then did Shasa notice that Menadion had yet to conjure a single spell. ’What’s their endgame? What am I missing?’

Meanwhile, Kugoh broke past Lith’s guard and retracted his battle claws. From so up close he could use his knees, elbows, claws, horns, fangs, and tail. The longer reach of the battle claws was nothing compared with the versatility of using his entire body.

The Behemoth boosted his water and air fusion the most, weaving a seamless flurry of strikes with his many limbs that left Lith no opportunity to counterattack. Kugoh added fire and earth fusion solely at the moment of impact to increase the hardness and strength of his blows.

Lith read all of Kugoh’s movements with Full Guard and even anticipated them with the Ears of Menadion but just like Solus, his body couldn’t keep up with his senses. Kugoh was pouring every drop of Life Maelstrom and every bit of his abundant battle experience into the assault.

Lith mirrored the Behemoth’s movements and elemental flow, going tail against tail, claw against claw, and joint against joint. Yet he was always half a step late and his movements too amateurish compared to his opponent.

Lith had trained long and hard, but had always focused the most on his swordsmanship. Hand-to-hand combat was something he kept as a last resort when magic and Ragnarök failed him.

Feela had been a great teacher and an even better sparring partner. It was only thanks to her that it took Kugoh over thirty strikes to land one clean blow. Yet it had been a matter of "when" since the beginning, never of "if".

And once the first blow staggered Lith’s movements and squeezed the air out of his lungs, more and more poured through the increasing cracks of his defense. Adamant-coated blows crashed into the Davross alloy of the Voidwalker armor, each resounding with a boom of thunder.

Shasa expected Solus to turn around and help Lith while Kugoh expected Shasa to finish the weak woman and put an end to the fight. Both were wrong.
