Supreme Magus novel Chapter 773

’If I’m alone, at least I don’t have to worry about those losers anymore.’ Gaaron thought while activating his tier five spell, Stone Grinder.

Earth magic was the second slowest element after darkness and it couldn’t be used while fighting in the air, but it was the element that offered the most powerful offense and defense at the same time.

It could block all the other elements and couldn’t be stopped by them, since the mass of manipulated ground was always bigger than what a mage could conjure by using a different kind of magic.

Gaaron’s personal spell mixed air and earth together. It created several small twisters that carried huge amounts of earth, allowing it to overcome its weakness, and surrounded every single rock fragment carried by the vortexes in air blades.

To add insult to injury, being the ground around its caster under their control, it was impossible to use earth magic to defend against Stone Grinder.

Lith quickly considered his options, discovering that he had only a few of them. He could run away, but that would mean leaving his back exposed to further attacks. Even taking the skies was out of the question.

Gaaron was an Awakened, just like Lith, so he wouldn’t run out of mana just because of a single powerful spell. On the contrary, the more time Lith wasted, the more it was likely that Gaaron would gain the upper hand due to his superior resources.

’I have no clue what spirit magic spells can do or how many effects he can obtain by combining his artifacts.’ Lith thought. ’Against a stronger opponent, the only option is to finish things quickly before he can understand what I’m lacking.

’If he chose to use such a big spell, it means he’s desperate. Let’s keep things that way.’

Life Vision had shown Lith that Gaaron’s magic flow had been greatly diminished by using Stone Grinder, plus the glove and the amulet had yet to recharge. He was aware that the older Awakened was probably betting everything on Lith running away.

Their fight was at its final turning point. If Lith reached the now spell-less Gaaron, the victory would be his, whereas if Gaaron managed to weave a new set of spells, he would turn the tables.

Both were big "ifs", but alas, Lith’s was bigger.

None of his spells could deal with Stone Grinder, even Final Sunset’s black flames would be easily extinguished by such a frenzied avalanche. To make matters worse, Gaaron’s level of mastery over the air element was such that he was able to create horizontal tornadoes that were now converging to Lith’s position from every side.

The ground cracked at their passage while trees were uprooted and smashed to bits in a matter of seconds. Lith was just a dozen meters away from his enemy, but with such a powerful barrier between them, it was akin to being oceans apart. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

Lith took flight to go above the horizontal tornado in front of himself, but Gaaron made it grow even bigger, to the point that it resembled an ocean wave. Lith then had Death Call’s wings envelope him like a shroud and then darted inside Stone Grinder.

It was a suicidal, pointless move that made Gaaron grit his teeth in frustration.

’Does he really think I’m so stupid that I would fall twice for the same trick?’ He thought. ’Sure, I don’t have Full Guard, but I still have my own fucking eyes.’
