Supreme Magus novel Chapter 630

She intercepted the blade with her open palm, letting it pierce through her hand until her fingers closed unto its hilt.

"Beating an Eldritch in a contest of strength it’s a foolish quest. The only question is which one of you will break first. If you or your blade." Korgh sneered.

Lith inwardly cursed as her black blood corroded the Gatekeeper’s surface and dripped onto the mana crystals embedded in its hilt. Of all the creatures he had faced, Lith had never met one with acid for blood.

Lith tried to pull the blade away, but Korgh was too strong. At the same time, she tried to break his arm, but between his mana boosting the Skinwalker Armor and earth fusion boosting his enhanced physique, it felt to her like moving a mountain.

"What do you think I’m here for?" Morok said from behind her a split second after one of his short swords pierced her chest and another her head.

Korgh had forgotten about the other Ranger and that by not having her back against the wall anymore, Blink was a significant threat.

"By the gods!" Morok was shocked seeing that the creature wasn’t dying whereas his blades were melting.

"No vitals! Go for the yellow parts!" Lith said while exploiting Korgh’s indecision to let go of the Gatekeeper and struck with Solus’s gauntlet at Korgh’s goblin sternum. Solus had infused herself with all the elements and released a few spells she kept at the ready at the moment of the impact.

The resulting effect of the combined attack of Lith, Skinwalker, and Solus was akin to a jackhammer on the snow. The fist pierced through her chest and came out of her back, spraying red, harmless blood all over Morok.

"Copy that." He replied starting to stab at the exposed goblin parts so fast that before a wound had enough time to bleed, four more had been opened.

Korgh inwardly cursed, trying to find a way out. Hitting her goblin body couldn’t kill her since she had no vitals, but the wounds were making her strength plummet.

Lith kept hammering her body with his free hand and when she tried to move him aside with both her hands to escape from Morok’s onslaught, Lith grabbed the Gatekeeper’s hilt.

He flooded it with all the mana he could spare, infusing it with darkness magic as he twisted and pulled the blade away. Black blood hit the spot Lith had been until a split second before, making the rocks sizzle while they melted.

Feeling her life slipping, Korgh didn’t hesitate to Blinking to one of the upper levels of the mines. She kept Blinking until she reached the surface, choosing a crystal deposit as her hiding spot.

’The crystals will help me recover my strength and shield me from an Awakened’s Life Vision. I can only hope no one enters the deposit before I’m able to fight back, otherwise I’m screwed!’ She thought while feeding off the nearby crates.

"Where did she go?" Lith asked Solus while looking around. The crystals surrounding them were jamming his Life Vision, making it hard for him to even see Morok’s energy signature.

’She might have gone anywhere. The mines are a maze and there are too many interferences.’ She replied.

"That thing was a woman too? Weirdest day ever." Morok replied while using quick flicks of his wrists to clean his blades from the black blood.
