Supreme Magus novel Chapter 707

The metal corridor turned out to be very long. It branched several times because each kind of magical beast had its own breeding facility.

Also, they were further split according to what they were destined to become. The elite Meat Shields were breed in a department while the fuel for the Mana Reactor was breed in another.

To find the right path, Lith just had to check at each intersection where the cameras had been deactivated and where they were still active. Unbeknownst to them, they were following Yondra’s group toward the Teks’ breeding facility.

"Good gods!" Lith said when Life Vision perceived three familiar life signatures and his Array Detecting spell revealed five elemental blocking arrays to him, hidden but ready to be activated at any moment.

"It’s anyone there?" Lith asked, even though he already knew the answer. "We followed your trail."

"Thank the gods, young spirit! It’s so nice to see you, we were just biding our time and fearing for the worse." Yondra came from around the corner, hugging Lith while sighing in relief.

She looked terrible. They had been separated barely half an hour ago, yet she looked like someone who didn’t have a good night’s rest in days. She was covered in sweat, panting heavily with every word.

Yondra seemed to have suddenly got older, to the point that she was even unable to stand up-right properly. She was leaning against Lith rather than just hugging him.

"What happened to you? Are your injuries so severe?" Lith asked while performing Invigoration on her. Her body was fine, but she was running on fumes. Both her mana and stamina were almost depleted.

"No injuries, but you see, I’ve been thinking ahead." Her crafty smile and hunched posture made her resemble Nana so much that it almost hurt.

"I’ve disabled the surveillance devices of all the corridors from the last junction so that the Odi don’t know where exactly we are." Lith nodded. He had found them with Life Vision and had yelled to pretend to have fallen for her deception.

"Yet the moment I open a door, everything will be for naught. So I spent all of my energies to cast the necessary arrays to turn any Golem that tries to block us into scraps."

Lith found several flaws in her plan. First, if more than one Golem came, they would be doomed. If they activated the arrays while only one construct was inside its area of effect, the second would need but a handful of seconds to make a temporary array collapse.

If they waited for the second construct to enter the arrays, by that time the first Golem might as well already captured them all. Last, but not least, even if they somehow managed to trap several Golems at once, all the Odi had to do was to unleash the magical beasts to finish them off.

The arrays would seal their spells as well, making it impossible for humans to stand their ground against magical beasts.

’This plan is idiotic, Yondra must be beyond desperate.’ Lith thought.

"My problem is that if they send more than one Golem we’re screwed." Yondra continued. "Don’t get me started on how bad things would get if instead of inside the corridor, the Odi make the constructs Warp inside the room, where is not covered by my array’s area of effect.

"We can’t deal with Golems, magical beasts, and the arrays inside the room at the same time. At least not by ourselves."
