Supreme Magus novel Chapter 391

’No clothes, no corpses, no blood. It’s the perfect murder. The question is why is the f*cker helping me?’ Lith’s paranoid mind tried to walk a mile in the cursed artifact’s shoes.

A cruel smile appeared on his face when he believed he had found his answer. Lith wove all of his most powerful spells at once. He had a dirty job to do and didn’t want to prolong it one second more than necessary.

Lith moved outside the castle while looking for a bottleneck where the people forming the procession would be bunched together to inflict the maximum damage. He was plotting the best way to chain his spells together when Solus’s mind peeked into his own.

’Promise me you will not make them suffer.’

Lith replied with a telepathic nod.

A Raging Sun, a tier five War Mage spell, struck the middle of the crowd. Violet flames exploded in every direction, turning flesh into ashes in a split second. Those who tried to escape from the blast or were unlucky enough to survive it, discovered that all the escape routes were blocked by another tier five spell, Silent Reaper.

A small sized tornado had surrounded them and was closing in. Its edges spun slow, not sucking up but rather cutting everything they touched into a fine dust. When the two spells collided, the resulting blast leveled the block to the ground.

The humming sound turned from annoyed to angry, but Lith couldn’t care less. He kept track of the energy flow going from the ground to the castle through the spires. When the mana was about to reach the second to last magic crystal to be amplified, Lith shattered the gemstone with a Checkmate Spears.

The Black Star did its best to rebuild the relay point, but it was a second too late. The energy was lost. Lith continued to rain death from above while rhythmically destroying the gemstones before they could collect the mana siphoned from the geyser located below Kaduria.

The hum turned into a tremor and the tremor into a quake.

The Black Star rose into the sky, shattering everything in its wake. The castle and all the buildings nearby crumbled like sand. They were reabsorbed by the enraged artifact now resigned to losing its precious harvest.

’It seems really pissed off. We are still far from the barrier, it’s better if we get away from here. We don’t know if the black rain has negative effects on all living beings or just on Kadurians.’ Solus worry increased as the dome was filled by the black fumes generated by the cursed object.

Strong gusts of wind howled like an angry beast and tried to push Lith off the roof.

He bolted towards the city’s edges while throwing random spells to the crowd downstairs. The Black Star roared in anger. Without the black rain, it couldn’t collect the mana cores unless their vessel was destroyed.

Yet the clouds were still forming because of the light cycle being interrupted halfway through. The more damaged the corpses, the more energy it would take to get them back to life in useful conditions.

Lith’s spells were all like a blender, ripping their victims to shreds rather than simply killing them. Between the loss of mana due to the crystals being shattered and the energy that would be needed to regenerate the fallen Kadurians, the Black Star knew a lot of nourishment would go to waste.

That was the reason it welcomed the Rangers. They were the perfect scapegoats. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
