Supreme Magus novel Chapter 584

"Nothing works!" Friya said. None of the items Orion had prepared for her could project its energy outwards. Under the seal of the Hexagram, only inner energies like fusion magic could be used.

She wasn’t worried about dying. The enchanted armor she wore still worked and it would prevent the fall from being lethal. Yet without magic, they had no way to stop the four criminals.

"I know." Protector’s voice was peaceful. He took a deep breath and the world stopped moving. He was the first one to disappear, quickly followed by his two companions.

"What the heck? They Blinked away!" Jaren couldn’t believe his own eyes.

"Stop spouting bullshit! They are still inside the array. Had they attempted any spell, we would have felt it and countered it in a jiffy." Pelion could still sense Lith’s group presence thanks to the enhanced mana perception the Hexagram provided to all four of them, yet he couldn’t pinpoint them.

At least not until one of Protector’s horns rammed at him with the force of a freight train. After almost being killed by a single move of the two Emperor Beasts, this time Pelion had come to the fight prepared.

The moment Benyo had spotted the incoming enemies, he had activated his armor’s pseudo core to boost its defensive abilities at the expense of duration. The enchanted protection his master had Forgemastered for him was now five times stronger than usual.

Such a powerful effect came at a price, though. It would take less than two minutes for the pseudo core to exhaust its mana and when that happened, his armor would be no different from normal clothes for hours.

Fights were supposed to not last for long and Pelion would return home as soon as they were done with the Third Eye ritual. It was a perfect plan, at least on paper.

Despite the armor’s boosted effect, despite earth fusion making Pelion’s body as durable and heavy as stone, he was sent flying out of the formation. All of his precautions had prevented him from being skewered by the horn, but he still took a lot of damage.

His sternum cracked along with several ribs, making him spit a mouthful of blood as he fought to regain control over his own flight spell. Silverwing’s Hexagram disappeared, making it possible for Lith’s group to use magic again.

Lith and Friya jumped off Protector’s back as he disappeared again.

"Where did he go?" Ailia didn’t panic and kept her focus on her ritual. She could feel the energy accumulated in the air closing to its critical mass.

"He did another invisible Blink!" Jaren said while turning his head in every direction, hoping to spot the Emperor Beast’s exit point.

"It’s you who blinked, not me." Protector struck Jaren with one of his horns, sending the Awakened flying and following up with a tier four spell, Shadow Edge. A darkness infused air blade cut deeply into Jaren’s defenses and sapped his strength.

"There’s just the two of us left!" Benyo had several spells at the ready, but had no idea which one to use without exposing herself or her companions to the Emperor Beast’s impossible attacks.

Lith darted toward her, well aware of her eyes blazing with mana.

’They are all using Life Vision. Dimensional magic is useless, I can only employ fusion magic to move faster.’ He thought.
