Supreme Magus novel Chapter 836

Chapter 836 Battlefield Part 2

Pala kept Blinking and Lith kept adjusting his aim. He didn’t care for the Sapling trembling in pain and outrage due to Setting Sun ravaging the tree as well as the undead.

’Since you can’t make up your mind about which side to take, let me give you an incentive. This is what we do to traitors where I come from.’ Lith thought.

Megon screamed in agony while cursing himself for not listening to Pala. Without an arm, he couldn’t use dimensional magic. His prized armor and regenerative abilities were only delaying the inevitable and prolonging his agony.

He prayed every second he had left that someone would come and help him. It was his only thought even when his body had already started to turn into dust. His heart was still intact, but his blood core was gone, eaten by the black flames.

Meanwhile, Phloria conjured one Mage Knight spell after the other to protect Kalla. Yet there were two big problems she had no idea how to overcome. All of her best spells required to be at close range and the shrinking tornado kept her away.

To make matters worse, there was no way to gather enough mana to stop an ongoing tier five spell. Blast Guard surrounded the fallen Wight, clashing with the edges of the Silent Reaper spell for a second before being crushed.

Crystal Guard and Wind Guard lasted shortly as well, barely putting a dent in Gremlik’s spell.

’By the gods, I can’t believe Lith was right about the Sapling. If we get out of here alive, I swear to not mock him anymore for his paranoid delusions. Not too much, at least.’ Phloria thought.

Everything inside the castle was made out of wood, to make the Sovereign akin to a god within its premises and block earth magic. Luckily, just like Leannan, Phloria had preferred being safe rather than sorry and had taken all the rocks she always carried with her out of her dimensional amulet.

She compressed and then threw them inside Silent Reaper. The spell was unable to pulverize the mass of the giant boulder, only to shave its most external layers into dust.

Yet the dust was still made of earth, hence under Phloria’s control. It joined the stone mass again and enveloped the curled figure of Kalla, who was still trying to use Invigoration to recover.

"It’s useless, woman!" Gremlik laughed at her desperate efforts and kept his distance.

"If you get away from the traitor, your makeshift shield crumbles and she dies, but if you stay there, you’ll die." The Dryad Grendel didn’t trust his physical abilities enough to challenge a Mage Knight in close quarters, but he had no need to.

Gremlik weaved one spell after another. He only needed to hit Phloria once to break her focus and kill two enemies at the same time.

’Cunning bastard. I hoped that he would mindlessly charge forward. Now I have to focus on both my tier five spell, Bastion, and him.’ She thought.

Earth magic usually had the upper hand against air magic, but that only when the mage could conjure all the stones they wanted, whereas she was forced to recover every bit of dust the conflicting spells created and fuse it back with the dome.

On top of that, she couldn’t use dimensional magic. Gremlik Blinked around, too far away for Full Guard to be useful, unleashing a barrage of tier three spells arranged in a formation that exploited the limited room to move she had.

Unlike her, Gremlik could continue pouring mana into his tier five spell, since he only needed to touch the Sapling to restore all the spent energy.

It was Piercing Light, her improved version of the tier four spell Phantom Blade. It allowed a Mage Knight to imbue their weapons with mystical energies that, using their blades as a template, could temporarily extend them and expand their attack range. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
