Supreme Magus novel Chapter 772

On the other hand, however, with each spell Gaaron used, he gave Lith more clues about spirit magic’s real potential. Spirit magic was one of the Awakened’s hidden talents, so the academy had taught him nothing about it.

Solus didn’t share one bit of his excitement and focused solely on analyzing the enemy. While Lith’s senses were aimed at his enemy’s visible movements, her mystical senses scanned the invisible, collecting all the data she could get.

She was studying the pseudo cores of Gaaron’s equipment to notice which one was being activated to warn Lith in time while also studying the mana flow of the enemy to predict the kind of spell he would employ and how dangerous it would be.

’Earth from below.’ She thought as Gaaron adjusted his grip on the Frostbound blade and made the ground erupt in the form of a giant stone fist right under Lith’s feet. Lith had just the time to take flight and reduce the strength of the impact when a mass of yellow flames surrounded him.

’Air and fire all around us for 15 meters (50 feet).’ Solus warned him.

It was Gaaron’s War Mage tier five spell, Electrifired. The flames were actually bright blue, the overbearing yellow derived from the streams of electricity flowing through them.

It was a sure-kill spell that would paralyze its victim while the flames burned them to a crisp. Lith recalled his black wings, shaping them into a cocoon again to buy some time.

Gaaron laughed at his naivety.

’Such a puny amount of darkness magic can only make his agony last longer. Sorry, kid. I have to break you to not turn this mission into a failure.’ He thought.

"Surrender now and..." Gaaron was cut short by a mass of flesh and metal dropping on him at break-neck speed from above. The impact made the Awakened fall face-first onto the ground and opened a few meters deep crater.

The cocoon had never been a defense, it was just a smokescreen to prevent Gaaron from seeing Lith Blink. After shapeshifting Death Call, Lith had left it behind, making the dimensional gate invisible to Gaaron’s Life Vision.

The third spell’s energy was indistinguishable from that of the other two overlapping spells. Lith had reappeared as high as he could, combining gravity magic, his best flight spell, and the mana boosted Orichalcum Skinwalker armor to turn himself into a living meteor.

He had achieved such a speed that, without a Full Guard to protect him, Gaaron’s enhanced senses had perceived the threat only when it was too late. To make matters worse, Lith had spun on himself and shapeshifted his lower body into his hybrid form.

The metal-coated talons on his feet drilled through Gaaron’s protections and flesh while the amplified weight of Lith’s body crushed his bones.

Gaaron coughed out a mouthful of blood as his focus and all the spells he had at the ready were lost. Unluckily for Lith, Gaaron’s equipment was nothing to scoff at.

’Defensive amulet and detonating glove.’ Everything was happening so fast that even their mind link couldn’t keep up. Solus used as few words as she could, conjuring an image depicting her prediction of the events in Lith’s mind to help him understand what she meant.

The moment they had made contact, the amulet at Gaaron’s neck had enveloped its master into a barrier while activating a powerful healing spell. Usually, it would have been pointless since mending such deep wounds would have left Gaaron exhausted.

Lith was too close, so using Invigoration was impossible, but the Gaaron’s glove turned the tables. A sudden explosion of emerald green energy enveloped Gaaron, destroying everything in his vicinity.
