Supreme Magus novel Chapter 482

Thrud’s move cornered the god of healing. He didn’t need to use a diagnostic spell to know that no potion could save his teammates. Their injuries were too deep, without providing them life force, any healing attempt would be as deadly as the wound itself.

Krishna Manohar knew it was over. He had failed to rescue his rescuers and now, weakened and alone, he was no match for his enemy. They were all already dead, the only variable was the order in which they would die.

The Mad Professor finally experienced defeat and it tasted like horseshit. The monumental self esteem that had been the beacon of his whole existence crumbled like a house of cards. He stood with a blank stare, incapable to react.

’I can’t win. There’s no reason to play if I can’t win.’ He thought.

The Mad Queen didn’t even bother with him, moving to her next target. Her plan was cruel and implemented with such precision that it would inspire terror in any sane person.

Unfortunately, her last opponents didn’t fit the bill. Neither of them was ready to die nor surrender. Manohar fought only to win, whereas they were content with not losing.

"You already managed to hit her, yet she’s still alive. What’s gone wrong?" Jirni asked while Thrud yelled her promise.

"The problem it’s not the sword, I can manage that." Lith said leaving her impressed.

"The armor blocks all of my attacks and in a contest of pure magic, I’m no match for her. While she is free to focus only on countering my spells, I’ve no chances of winning."

"Maybe I have a solution for that." Where others would see The Mad Queen promise as a death sentence, Jirni saw an opportunity.

"I need you to buy me some time, can you do it?"

Lith nodded in reply. Thrud appeared between them, slashing at him while unleashing a hail of icicles at Jirni.

Lith blocked Arthan’s Blade with ease as Jirni rolled behind a nearby column and escaped being turned into a kebab.

Thanks to Solus drawing power from the mana geyser, Lith was still as strong as when the fight had started. Thrud’s body, instead, was severely weakened after being hit with the full force of three tier five spells.

It made the physical gap between them even wider. Lith tried to push the opponent’s blade aside to headbutt her, but Thrud read his move. She didn’t resist, so that he used too much force and found himself out of balance.

The Mad Queen used that split second to step in and execute a shoulder bash against Lith’s sternum. It pushed him back and squeezed the air out of his lungs, leaving him defenseless.

’Even though my strength is diminished, the skill gap between us is more than enough to get rid of him.’ She thought.
