Supreme Magus novel Chapter 450

As soon as the physical contact was broken, Kamila snapped out of it and hid behind Lith so fast that she almost dropped her wine glass.

Count Xolver’s surprise intensified when he sent more and more waves of his willpower only for them to crash against Lith’s. The Mesmerize ability required to make eye and physical contact with the target.

It could nudge their will, making them more receptive to "friendly advices". It couldn’t force anyone to do something they weren’t willing to do, though. It could only manipulate someone’s feelings, not their nature.

In Lith’s case, it would have been easier to tilt’s Mogar’s axis than convince him to part from something, or someone, he deemed as his own.

’This guy must be mad jealous to resist that easily. Well, if the easy way doesn’t work, the hard was will.’ Xolver thought while returning the grip.

"I don’t think you recognized me, dear friend. I’m Count Xolver and I’m a very powerful man. You don’t want to have me as your enemy."

’Watch out.’ Solus warned Lith. ’The blood core expenditure is much bigger than before. His life force is now even stronger than yours.’ For once Solus was happy to not have a body.

Otherwise she would have kicked the Count to the curb and blown their cover. Her hate for creeps was only surpassed by that for super powered creeps.

"Really?" Lith remained unfazed by activating earth and fire fusion to even the field.

"I think you should reconsider your actions." He let pure mana flow into his left hand, making the runes Kalla had gifted him resurface on his palm. Despite their white glow, only Lith and the Count seemed capable of seeing them.

’According to Kalla, they are an introduction letter. If Xolver is involved with the undead community, this should resolve the matter without him making a fuss.’ Lith thought.

’If the one controlling the meat puppets is really a necromancer, I can’t risk exposing our plan.’

Sadly, the Count had no idea what they meant. His eyes flared red as a thin black fog formed a small dome around them which seemed to rob its surroundings of light and warmth. Those near to the scene unconsciously stepped away. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

No one was able to see or hear what was happening inside the fog dome unless they focused really hard on its presence. Kamila had no idea what was happening but she was starting to get scared.

"I’ll ask you one last time. Let the lady come with me and I’ll make it worth her while." At that point, the Count couldn’t care less about Kamila. It had become a matter of power. He couldn’t stand the idea of a lesser man disrespecting him.

Not now that he had finally obtained the invincible power he had always dreamt about. His killing intent filled the dome adding mental pressure to the physical one.

Lith was tired of playing nice. Instead of replying, he activated Invigoration, which allowed him to detect that there were two different kinds of blood flowing inside Xolver’s veins. One was abundant, weak, and held less magical power than Lith’s dirty laundry.

The other was thin and of unknown origin, but it carried enough mana to make a mouse as dangerous as a tiger. Lith released small pulses of darkness magic that destroyed the undead blood coursing through his opponent’s veins.

Despite feeling weak, Xolver refused to budge and kept pumping more and more power until his blood core was on the verge of collapsing.

"Peace, brother. Please, forgive my Vassal. He’s still unaware of the protocols among our kin." Another man stepped forward, so fast that Lith didn’t even notice his appearance until it was too late.

He was around sixty years old, barely 1.72 meters (5’8") tall, with silver hair and goatee. His silver-rimmed monocle couldn’t hide the red glow from his eyes as he grabbed Lith’s wrist with enough strength to force him to let go of the Count.
