Supreme Magus novel Chapter 709

Yondra had stopped wheezing, but she was still far from being strong enough to fight. Lith gave her an alchemical flask that Solus had prepared for him which contained all the necessary nutrients for a speedy recovery after being injured.

"Thanks for the offer, but I already took a tonic. One more would do nothing but drain my energy." Yondra politely refused.

"This is no tonic. It will complement the effects of the potion you already took. Also, I’m going to give you a bit of life force. I can’t afford to lose you." Lith insisted.

Yondra gulped down the potion. It had a really weird taste, as if someone had blended together grape juice, steak, and vegetables. The problem with tonics was that even though they enhanced the metabolism, they still required food to work.

Yondra had eaten but she had yet to digest the food, whereas Solus’s concoction could be instantly assimilated.

Lith used Invigoration to give her a bit of life force and mana back. Not enough to arouse her suspicions but enough to clear her head.

"This thing tastes like shit, but I feel much better." Yondra said, appreciating the full effects of both Solus’s potion and Invigoration. "Let’s move."

She quickly cast an array detection spells, making the Odi’s magical formations become visible. With another spell, she made all the protections crumble, leaving only the card reader lock in place.

"Once I open the door, I need to stay behind to check the corridor and activate the elemental blocking arrays in case one or more Golems appear." Yondra said. "Lith, Morok, you clear the room and call me as soon as you’re done.

"Rainer, Ellkas, you two stay between the Rangers and I. Support us at best of your possibilities. Ready? Go!" A flick of her wand made the light above the card reader turn green, releasing the lock.

Lith entered the room and used one of his personal spells. It revealed that the compound shared the same protections that he and Phloria had found in the Teks’ breeding ground. There was a fire based, a darkness based, and an air based magical formation.

The room was 20 meters long and 10 meters wide. Along the walls, there was a long line of cylindrical tanks holding adult Teks in what looked like suspended animation. There were at least 40 magical beasts, each one as big as a closet.

He, Morok, and Ellkas took down one array each while Rainer neutralized the security cameras. They were all casting from behind to door, to keep both their numbers and identity a secret.

Lith cursed when he saw with Life Vision that several Gates were about to open inside the room, whereas the corridor where Yondra had placed her arrays was empty.

’Fuck! How many of those accursed Golems they had prepared and why didn’t they use them in the war?’ Lith received all the answers he needed when he saw that the creatures stepping out of the Warping arrays were no Golems.

A small army of Thorns was filling the room while the tanks holding the Teks were being opened.

"There’s too many of them!" Morok said. Based on his estimate, even if he went all out as a Tyrant and burned his cover as a human, it would still take them too long to clean the room.

On top of that, they would be too tired to hold their ground in the case a Flesh Golem appeared.

"I got this!" Ellkas said, glad to be useful for once. The Professor messed on purpose with his Disarray spell, so that instead of dissipating the magical protection, he sent it haywire along with the others.
