Supreme Magus novel Chapter 720

That way, the array would still work, but its effects would be greatly diminished with each lost node. Even while Jiira was studying his predicament, he saw tendrils of Lith’s mana coming from below the floor and crash another node.

"Come on, pal. You just have to turn it off and on again to reset it." Lith said while a blue aura erupted from his body and several spells could be seen on the verge of taking form.

Looking at Lith’s savage smile, Jiira felt an endless fear taking hold of him. Sure, the Odi could do as Lith had suggested, but taking down the array meant remaining completely exposed to Lith’s spells.

Jiira was in a pinch. As long as God’s Will was active, the enemy could only engage him in physical combat. Yet the longer they fought, the weaker the array’s power focusing ability would become.

Lith had attacked only one of the array’s functions on purpose, to not make his opponent realize what was happening until it was too late. Lith could almost taste the blood of his enemy, almost hear his dying screams.

Lith’s teeth became the size of small knives and his cheeks covered in scales. Jiira involuntarily took a step back from the grinning monster in front of him. The Odi had seen the monster moving, the second he needed to reset the array was a second too long. At least as long as the creature remained on the fringes of God’s Will.

To make matters worse, he couldn’t just move the array, so its area of effect was fixed until he replaced it with a new one.

A clicking sound made Jiira look down, just in time to notice that somehow, the human female was now free. Yet instead of running away, Phloria placed her hands on his abdomen, releasing a fireball from point-blank range.

What the Odi had confused for ramblings of agony were actually magic words. The moment a chance of survival had appeared, Phloria had started to cast all of her best spells.

Yet after seeing the Odi controlling Lith’s spells as if they were his own, she had been forced to change her tactic. If she had to die, she would die fighting, without leaving the Odi anything but a broken carcass.

The fireball exploded too fast and too close for even God’s Will to have any effect. The detonation made Jiira fly against the back wall and cracked both the table and the mana crystals.

Her own mana couldn’t hurt Phloria, but it could still hurt Lith and Solus, who was hiding under the table after undoing Phloria’s bindings. Lith rushed forward, uncaring of the flames and the heat.

It was his opportunity to both rescue his partner and put down his enemy. The Orichalcum enveloped Lith, protecting his lungs from the hot air that was making it hard for Jiira to breathe.

His midriff was shredded, only the constant infusion of light magic from the Reactor had prevented his viscera from being on the floor rather than where they were supposed to be. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Jiira saw Lith approaching, the air element coursing through Jiira’s body allowed him to follow the monster’s movements. The Odi joined his hands, focusing all the energy he could muster in the biggest energy beam he could conjure in such a short time.

He used water magic to cool the air and hopefully turn the enemy into a popsicle.
