Supreme Magus novel Chapter 626

’White Ladies are weak to fire. According to the gazillion books I consulted recently, they burn like gasoline. I don’t know what kind of relationship these two have, but if they coordinate their attacks I’ll be in a pinch. I must even the field.’ Lith thought.

The Mage Slayer ignored the White Lady’s grievances and jumped at Lith’s spell, incapable to see past the meal served in front of itself. Lith dispelled his air dome and struck with the Gatekeeper sword infused by darkness magic, the only element Mage Slayers couldn’t feed upon.

The creature was unable to scream, but its eyes went wide open as the enchanted metal pierced through the orange gas, creating a gaping hole the size of a soccer ball on its chest for a split second.

’Solus, wasn’t his heart supposed to be there?’ Lith asked. Their vengeful heart was the source of all the powers a Mage Slayer had and also their weak point. Only a physical weapon could destroy it, but finding it wasn’t easy.

The undead could move it freely inside their gaseous body, even while they were fighting.

’Yes, it was. Now it’s in the nether regions.’ She replied. Lith’s Life Vision was blinded by the magical gas that made up the Mage Slayer’s body, but her mana sense was keen enough to follow the heart’s movements.

The White Lady had never stopped hurling new water. She was using it to shape a water cage to drown Lith. He was an adult, so he was bound to taste like horseshit, but beggars couldn’t be choosers.

Lith blocked the lunge of the Mage Slayer, interrupting both its attack and its spell while unleashing a stream of lightning from his hand. The electricity traveled through the water and entered the White Lady’s mouth, setting her ablaze from the inside.

It wouldn’t have been so easy in normal circumstances. The starvation had turned her flesh into dried meat, making it even more inflammable than a White Lady already was. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

The undead turned into a pyre while screaming in agony. It took her less than a second to be reduced to a wet pile of ashes.

Now that Lith could focus on a single opponent, he conjured a thick layer of spirit magic around himself. It would be useless against a gaseous opponent, but the enchanted blade the Mage Slayer was using was physical.

Lith used spirit magic to envelope the sword more each time it clashed with his Gatekeeper, making it slower as his grip over the blade of the enemy became stronger. The Mage Slayer wasn’t able to use fusion magic and with its sword being constantly pulled in random directions, it was unable to complete a single spell

Soon the second undead was at Lith’s mercy.

Spirit magic kept its blade locked in Lith’s left hand while the Gatekeeper in his right hand cut through its body so fast that its heart was perfectly visible, no matter where the Mage Slayer moved it.

Lith cut the heart into small pieces and kept cutting it until the smoke stopped regenerating. Unfortunately, the sword disappeared as soon as the undead was vanquished.

A Mage Slayer’s physical body actually consisted of two parts: the heart and the blade.

’It’s very odd, Solus. According to the books, the sword should be an exact replica of the blade master’s weapon. Yet in the pictures we found, their enchanted weapons had nothing special. I’d remember so many runes.’ Lith thought.

’Yeah. It’s likely due to Huryole being very ancient. If the Mage Slayer was centuries old, maybe so it was the Forgemastering process they used when it was still alive. It’s too bad that conjured blades have no pseudo core. We might have learned a lot.’ She sighed.

’Look at the bright side. If the path in front of us continues to be straightforward, those creatures would have reached the exit in no time and then we would have been forced to come here to slay them.
