Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3699

Chapter 3699: Impossible Feats (Part 2)

He parried the first strike, deflected the second, and almost dropped his blade on the third. The tail saved him, and the membranous wings blocked the fourth and fifth strikes.

The sixth cut him deep from shoulder to sternum, the seventh would have pierced his left thigh if not for Raptor blocking it. The Golem was too light for the Titania, one hit was enough to blow him away.

Trouble blocked the seventh, giving Lith the time he so desperately needed to regain his balance. Golden lightning crackled along Ragnarök’s blade, allowing him to stop the final three blows.

Yet when the sequence ended, another one was ready to start, and Lith’s breathing was ragged. His right arm lay lower than needed, tired of the weight of the blade. His chest heaved, his shoulders hunched in fatigue.

‘Again!’ Uryn ordered, and the rest of the Awakened joined the fight.

Trouble and Raptor engaged respectively with Cailm and Jissha, moving through the battlefield in an instant thanks to the pocket dimension.

Lith cut spells, emitted more from the Mouth, and stopped too many attacks to count, but it wasn’t enough. Fresh wounds piled up while the old ones had yet to close, and with each drop of blood he lost, he became weaker.

After one Disarray too many, Uryn gave up on using magical formations. It ended up giving Lith a moment to breathe and hurt Uryn’s comrades more than his enemy.

Five against three was already too chaotic, so Uryn switched the backline to focus on tier four spells with surgical precision. Rather than wide area-of-effect spells that would affect his comrades, the seven Awakened exploited the gap in Lith’s defence created by the fighters.

This way, the spells created new openings for the fighters, who in turn created more for the mages in a deadly cycle.

‘Why don’t we just use the Annihilation?’ Lelira asked. ‘There are seven of us.’

‘Exactly.’ Uryn replied. ‘Seven of us would have to group together, stop providing cover fire, and offer one juicy target to Verhen until the anti-Guardian spell is completed. What do you think would happen?’

‘Point taken.’ Lelira swallowed hard. ‘Glad you are on our side.’

With his legs now as wounded as his dominant arm, Lith knew death was just a matter of seconds.

‘If I have to die, I’ll carry as many of you with me!’ Driven into the corner, Lith did what he had hoped he would never have to do again.

He conjured a key out of Dread Flames and opened the door to the Void, freeing the parasitic souls that constantly threatened to devour his life.

Lith had no time to breathe or life force to spare, but the blue flames needed neither. They spread out like a disease, burning everything and consuming all life around them.

Lith’s body forcefully shapeshifted into the Void Demon Dragon, and the Awakened found themselves in a world of pain. The blue flames burned at their equipment, their spells, and their bodies.

They were hard to extinguish and easy to spark.

“What the fuck is this?” Zakra stepped away in a panic as the blue flames burned her faster than even a Fae could regenerate.

“I don’t know! Shut down the mind links. Now!” Uryn shouted after noticing that the small tendrils of mana connecting the group burned as well.
