Supreme Magus novel Chapter 582

The sphere of light turned into a gateway, which apparently led to another dimension full of stars and planets floating in the middle of space.

A monstrous creature emerged from the portal on top of a fiery beast, turning the joy of the worshippers into terror.

The rider stood slightly over two meters tall and was covered in thick curved black scales. Both his hands and feet ended in razor sharp claws enveloped in black flames. A set of upside down membranous wing came out of his back, producing with each of their flaps a gust of wind strong enough to rival with the outside storm.

His face was a black slate with no nose nor ears, but his seven eyes made everyone recognize him on the spot. Each one of the six eyes on his face burned with a different color of mana which emphasized his pitch black vertical pupils.

The seventh one on his forehead was deep blue and without a pupil.

"Isn’t that the All-Father?" Everyone asked while staring in horror as the scales over his mouth opened, revealing a mouth full of fangs and blue fire. The killing intent the rider and hi mount emanated made them unable to move or even to aver their gaze.

Shivers went down their spines and the warm air inside the church became so cold that they could see their own breath steaming.

"Silence! You have relinquished your gifts, your free will, and your life. You have no right to say my name. Food doesn’t get to talk, it only gets digested!" The portal behind the All-Father closed, and all the shadows in the room came to life, overwhelming their owners. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

The worshippers were soon pinned to the ground by a distorted version of themselves. The dark forms had their faces twisted by an insatiable hunger, bright yellow eyes, and a white maw instead of a mouth.

"Fenrir, devour them!" He ordered to his steed, a huge beast resembling a divine wolf.

Its shoulder height reached two meters and a half (8’3"), making its rider’s head almost touch the ceiling. Its whole body was covered by a flaming red fur and enveloped in a deep blue flame. It erupted with greater intensity from its neck, making it look like a mane.

The monster had two curved horns coming out of its forehead, right in front of its ears, eagle-like feathered wing coming out from its back, and its tail was made out of dancing blue flames.

Fenrir’s howl made the ground quake and cracked the church’s walls like they were just made of sand. All those trapped by their own shadows felt their strength being sapped as small spheres of light came out of their bodies and moved towards the All-Father.

Ailia and Pelion were watching at the show from a surveillance mirror. They recognized the spell as what Deraniel had called "Demons of Darkness". It was a variation of spirit magic they had never seen before.

They had yet to make a move because their minds were frozen in a stupor.

Everything had happened too fast and at the worst possible moment. They had no spell at the ready, and facing one on one an Emperor Beast wasn’t a nice perspective. Yet they had no choice but to act.

If the Church of the Six collapsed, people would let themselves be healed, making it impossible for them to trigger the Third Eye array.

"He’s not the All-Father, but just a pretender. We know it well because we are the Sovereigns!" Ailia and Pelion appeared from a Warp Steps. They unleashed a blinding light that dispersed the shadows and freed all of those present.
