Supreme Magus novel Chapter 481

No one wanted to believe their own eyes, but reality was a cruel mistress and couldn’t care less for their wishes. Thrud had used her tier five Crystal Griffon spell to encase herself in a thick layer of ice which she had constantly regenerated to protect herself from the Raging Sun spell.

Dark Star and Death Zone had messed up her plan, but her artifacts had managed to keep her alive so that her White Griffon spell was now bringing her body back to its peak condition.

’She has depleted about half of her life force and mana flow.’ Solus hoped that, by giving Lith a steady flow of information, he could find a way out of that nightmare. It was the only thought that kept the fear that was gripping her heart at bay.

Lith was honored by her trust, but no matter how many scenarios his brain managed to play, they all ended up in defeat.

’It’s not the first time I face a superior opponent, but I always managed to exploit my advantages to came out victorious. Against Nalear I had allies. Against Treius and his cursed object, I used their parasitic nature against them.

’Thrud is perfect. No visible weakness aside her ego and she hasn’t activated her vortex even once. How long does it take to bring that damn barrier downr?’ Lith cursed while running more and more simulations with Solus’s help.

Both Solus’s mana sense and Kilian’s Third Eye revealed how close the array surrounding The Mad Queen’s hideout was to crumble. Alas, "close" only works if someone is playing bowls or throwing a grenade.

As long as the barrier prevented them from escaping, they were still in deadly danger.

"You have exceeded all of my expectations, Manohar. It was worth taking my time to put your abilities to test."

’Was this just a game to her?’ Everyone but Manohar thought in unison.

"Soon I’m going to take back my throne and once it happens, a Queen needs a King. Who better than the god of healing to stand beside a goddess? Now your title is just empty air, but my machine can make you stronger, younger, even make you handsome. It can turn you into a true god like my father was."

At those words, Manohar’s eyes went wide with rage.

"Join me, and together we will rule the Griffon Kingdom forever. Refuse, and I’ll kill you where you stand along with your useless companions. What’s your answer?" The barrier protecting the outpost was one of her creations.

She knew she had not much time left and her brave façade hid the harshness of reality. Thrud Griffon hadn’t expected to be found out. Her hideout contained everything she held precious, all the treasures she had accumulated over time as well as the precious mementos from her long lost family.

There were no Carpenters with her because they were storing everything inside dimensional items. The Mad Queen believed she could easily escape, but she couldn’t afford to lose centuries of hard work and research.

She had actually gone all out from the beginning of the fight and her inability to take out even a single enemy annoyed her greatly. Now that her puppies were almost done collecting her things, she wanted to give Manohar a last chance. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Despite his horrible character and not being easy on the eyes, he was the most outstanding man she had ever met. He was barely over thirty, yet he had achieved a knowledge that surpassed her own, and a magic power that had allowed him to survive in a fight against her.
