Supreme Magus novel Chapter 710

Lith stood in front of Yondra, unleashing all the spells contained in his rings to buy himself a moment of respite. The living wall of Koas in front of him fell to a volley of wind blades while a sphere of darkness magic slowed the following waves of creatures, making them stumble. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

On the other hand of the room, Morok wasn’t faring much better. Even with the physical strength of an Emperor Beast and the power of his eyes, he was slowly getting pushed back.

To make matters worse, the fallen Thorns were regrowing their bodies by feasting on the corpses of their fallen enemies. Green tentacles imbued with darkness energy wrapped around his legs and sapped his strength.

He cut them down as fast as he could but they would release toxic spores laced with darkness magic that made it hard for him to breathe.

’What a deadly combination.’ Morok thought. ’Teks are like heavy infantry, Koas are fast and armored like cavalry units, while Thorns are almost immortal. They just need to feed on fallen enemies or allies to rebuild themselves or even increase their numbers!

’We’re lucky that they are completely unable to cooperate or we would be already dead.’

Just like Ranger Eari had assessed, the three combined magical beasts were a threat on par with the Flesh Golems. Unfortunately, the Odi experiments had made them mad and incapable of understanding even the simplest order.

When they had tried to use slave items on them, they had no effects. The mass-produced magical beasts would attack anything but their master, even their own kin.

"Old man, don’t you have an herbicide? Something to kill them all in a fell swoop?" He asked to Ellkas while the spore density had become so high that both he and the Koas were suffocating.

"I do, but it would kill you in the process. Also, I’ve no guarantee that it wouldn’t reach the other end of the corridor and kill Yondra as well." The Professor replied. To him, Lith and Morok were expandable, but without Yondra, he was screwed.

Among the other things, Morok was a Battle Mage, but between the nature of his opponents and of the location of the battle he had no way to put his specialization to use.

There was no earth, all the creatures were immune to lightning, darkness would strengthen the Thorns and offer him little protection, and fire might harm his allies. Lith had the same problem and no solution as well.

"I’m done! Blink inside!" Yondra yelled while opening the room.

"Are you crazy?" Morok replied. "Aren’t supposed to be arrays in there as well? What stops our friends to just Warp there and follow us?"

"Excellent point!" Lith used spirit magic to grab a few Koas and throw them inside the next room before closing the door. A series of booms and sizzles told them that the place was indeed protected.

"Damn runts, you had one job." Yondra started to chant, while Lith tried all the spells he had at the ready, hoping to turn the tables. A frozen wave got rid of the spores in the air, but no creature seemed to be affected.

A barrage of jets of fire almost made the air unbreathable and hurt the nearest Thorns, but they simply used the carpet of corpses on the ground to smother the flames and rejuvenate themselves.

He would have loved to use Origin Flames, but in such a confined space they would hurt him as well. He erected a wall of wind, strengthening it with spirit magic to buy Yondra a few seconds, yet it lasted only one.
