Supreme Magus novel Chapter 712

"Don’t worry. This is exactly the kind of situation for which I devised my Dampener." Yondra took the small tuning fork from her pocket, imbuing it with her mana.

"Come on, you bastard. I dare you to try and rob us of our spells again."

Lith would have considered it an excellent plan, if not for the fact that the enemy was likely to have endless mana.

’She’s right, though. If all Odi have one of those things, I must find a way to neutralize it if I want to have a chance to save Phloria and Quylla. We still have the advantage of numbers and Yondra’s artifacts. It’s worth a try.’ Lith thought while unleashing a Final Sunset.

Jiira activated the God’s Will array again, hijacking Lith’s spell as if it was just a chore magic trick and stopping the ray of black flames in its tracks. Lith fought with all of his willpower, trying to keep his energy signature and the control over the spell.

Yet just like he had feared, it wasn’t a matter of will as much of mana. Jira was simply flooding Lith’s spell with his own energy. Final Sunset required a lot of mana, so there was a limit to the amount of energy Lith could employ before becoming too weak to keep fighting. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Yondra’s Dampener absorbed a speck of Jiira’s mana and analyzed its energy signature, allowing her to disrupt his control over Lith’s spell.

Final Sunset resumed its advance, yet Jiira seemed to be more amused rather than scared. No matter how much of his mana the Dampener scattered away, the Odi just had to inject more.

\u003c "Finally a true challenge that can put to the test the fruits of our endeavor! I praise your efforts. You’re not bad for a bunch of hairless monkeys."\u003e Jiira said, yet no one understood his words.

"It’s not working, we have to go before it’s too late!" Lith replenished his reserves with Invigoration, but he knew that Yondra couldn’t keep up.

"Fuck, no. He’s almost done. Ekidu!" Morok reverted to his Tyrant form using the black eye on his chest to produce a black pillar of energy that his weapons captured and amplified.

He didn’t care for his secrete so much as for his survival. Morok darted forward, getting past Yondra and into the array. His Emperor Beast’s body was boosted by fusion magic, allowing him to move as fast as a shooting arrow.

He had learned his lesson. No more spells, only physical attacks. Meanwhile, Yondra was sweating bullets. Even though Lith had given her a bit of energy, she didn’t have much mana from the start.

Disabling the arrays, unlocking the doors, and using the tier five Magic Knight spell Empty Prison had only made things worse. She needed sheer willpower just to keep standing, so when Yondra saw Morok’s real body she didn’t even flinch.

One small mistake and Lith’s spell would kill them both.

The Tyrant’s red eye showered Jiira with flames, but countless ice crystals intercepted and smothered them into nothingness. Thanks to the Mana Reactor, Jiira could empower fist magic to the point of making its effects as powerful as tier three magic.

In such a state, he was even superior to an Awakened. First magic required barely a thought and willpower to be shaped, it had no casting time. The cold wave slowed Morok enough that Jiira had the time to lift his right forefinger before the Tyrant could hit him.
