Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3561

Bytra’s cloaking item concealed Tezka’s aura but the Gernoffs knew who he was and what seven tails in a Fylgja meant.

It was the reason seeing ten of them made the Gernoffs recalculate their odds of success, finding them abysmal.

"Tezka the Suneater? Are you a friend of the Ernas Household?" Okham’s voice was calm and steady as he moved a hand behind his back to give new orders to his team.

"You dare question me, boy?" Tezka snarled but his expression quickly relaxed. "I know the Ernas Household just like anyone else in the Kingdom. They can all die for all I care. Some of their guests, however, are a different story.

"Go away while I ask you gently and I might not stab your hearts the moment you turn your backs. No promises, though."

"We have no business with anyone but Jirni Ernas." Okham said while updating his orders. "Let us pass and you have our word we won’t hurt her guests, no matter who they are."

"And they say the Gernoffs are a bunch of humourless bastards." Tezka burst in a mocking, cold laugh. "Who do you think I am, boy? I met your precious Oghrom, the man you idiots still idolize to this day.

"I still remember the day when he told me that his word was piss and his honor a joke. Oghrom Gernoff didn’t care about such trivial concepts. He would have done and said anything to carry out his mission and I bet you kids are no different."

"We-"

"Have stopped amusing me." Tezka cut Okham short. "I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse, because if you do, you’ll die. You have five seconds to leave before I kill you where you stand. Five."

As he spoke, darkness fell as a pitch-black shroud the size of a crescent moon covered the sun. Tezka never underestimated his enemies. Even though he doubted Oghrom’s descendants were at his level, he had no reason to take risks.

"Our original mission failed but another can still succeed." Okham said via the hand signs. "Despite all his power, Tezka the Suneater is just an Eldritch with no Spirit Magic. He can’t use dimensional magic due to the arrays of the mansion, and once we seal the darkness element, he’s no match for us.

"We must kill him before the Suneater spell takes effect. Prepare Silverwing’s Annihilation and remove the only stain of failure Oghrom suffered while at the service of the First King.

"We’ll be the one to strike the Suneater’s name off Oghrom’s kill list!"

Okham had already finished casting his spells while Tezka talked, while the others needed just one more second to complete theirs.

A darkness-sealing array covered the Fylgja and Okham Spirit Blinked behind Tezka to buy his companions the time to weave their share of the Annihilation.

"Dimensional magic against me? How cute. Two." What looked like a helm with white crystals on its sides appeared on Tezka’s head.

As he spoke, one of his tails whipped down on Okham with the casual movement of a hand swatting a fly. The tail shattered Okham’s Spirit Barrier, crushed his armor, and cut the Awakened’s enhanced body asunder like a hot knife through butter.

Okham would have exploded on impact if not for the searing heat of the fire tail turning him into ashes faster than he could splatter around.

To the eyes of the remaining six Gernoffs, Okham had been wiped out of existence like chalk on a blackboard.

"Three." Tezka said as a face mask studded with mana crystals forming a cruel Maw filled the empty space in the Skull of Bytra.

Almost half of the sun was now eclipsed.
