Supreme Magus novel Chapter 849

Chapter 849 Deadly Combo Part 1

"If the Empress’ mages manage to establish a safe Gate past Dograth, the castles that secure the bottleneck will become nothing more than a bunch of useless rocks!" The Lich took flight, moving against the invaders.

Veeza alone had the prowess of a battalion and thanks to her phylactery, she was nigh immortal.

Several units moved outside the city walls to surround the remaining human devices, to force the enemy to reveal their hand while the main undead force remained inside Dograth on standby.

It took Veeza a handful of seconds to get close to the open Gate enough to be able to attack it with her spells. The ground quaked as several tons of earth engulfed with purple flames started floating.

It was Veeza’s tier five spell, Shooting Stars, a mix of fire, earth, and gravity magic. The detached ground split into giant flaming rocks that flew at near sonic speed against the human array.

Gravity magic allowed the usually slow earth to overcome its boundaries, making it as light as a feather while Veeza threw them up in the sky and then heavier than lead once they had been locked on their target.

The gravitational slingshot effect gave each one of the projectiles the momentum of a falling mountain.

A lonely figure flew up in the sky, unleashing a tier four gravity magic spell, Wheel of Fate.

The night air was suddenly distorted into a black whirlpool that sucked in the Shooting Stars, making them explode against each other while they were still in mid-air, still too far away from their intended target to deal any damage to the Empire’s Gates.

Wheel of Fate used gravity magic to trap its target in a loop and darkness magic to engulf them and smother whatever effect the enemy spell had, turning even Shooting Star’s roaring explosions into the muffled sound of a distant firework.

"Nice try!" Milea said while activating her tier five spell Manastorm. She traced with her right forefinger an arc of emerald green light in the air in front of herself.

The crescent released a barrage of emerald bullets made of pure mana, each one with the power of a cannonball.

Veeza activated the barriers built in her magical defenses, but the sheer number of bullets and their might was enough to shoot her down to the ground.

Spirit magic spells had no weakness aside from the huge amount of mana they required, making the Lich’s elemental barriers unable to keep up with the emerald onslaught. The projectiles pierced through the Lich’s conjured defenses one after the other as if they were nothing more than silk sheets.

Meanwhile, the remaining devices surrounding Dograth activated. Once again the troops coming out the dimensional Gates ignored the fortresses and moved to secure the human vanguard’s back while leaving behind just enough soldiers to keep the incoming undead at bay.

"This cannot be! A proper Gate requires more than just a few stones and a bunch of mana crystals. It must be aligned with Mogar’s mana lines for grounding and requires adequate protection. Otherwise, all you have is a devastating dimensional bomb."

The Lich unleashed all the spells stored inside her artifacts to buy herself the time she needed to chant her next move.
