Supreme Magus novel Chapter 875

Chapter 875 The First Horseman Part 1

By aiming his attacks at the constructs’ focus points, Lith quickly got rid of the unknown tier five spell without spending much mana. Ruin’s World Mirror enchantment sustained itself with the mana it leeched, lessening the burden upon its master.

"Where the heck did you get that blade?" The creature stepped out of the wall, revealing to be a two-legged humanoid, about 2.5 meters (8’2") tall with his body covered by large hardened overlapping plate-like scales.

Only his belly, the inner side of the paws, and its snout were covered by soft grey fur. His head resembled that of an anteater and a long tail came out of his back. If Lith had ever seen one, he would have recognized it as a humanoid pangolin.

’Why does everyone ask me that and what the heck is that thing?’ Lith thought. None of the books inside Soluspedia described the creature, but the oddest thing was that he seemed to have a bone to pick with Lith.

Lith conjured a volley of lightning bolts mixed with ice lances to put the creature’s endurance to the test.

The thing stomped his feet while clasping his claws, making the rocks from the ground, the ceiling, and the walls spiral in front of himself. The spell created a barrier that absorbed the incoming attacks without a scratch.

’Okay, he definitely uses true magic like an Emperor Beast. Is he Awakened?’ Lith asked.

’I don’t think so.’ Solus replied. ’Having two cores would make Awakening difficult and he didn’t use Invigoration to recover while you were busy with his constructs.’

The creature clearly had a high affinity with the earth element and they were surrounded by rocks so Lith had no choice but to switch to close-quarters combat. Otherwise the enemy would be able to neutralize most of his best spells by conjuring stone walls or diving back into the ground.

Ruin struck at the barrier’s focus point, making it crumble as if it was made of sand. The creature had no idea why his spells kept failing him, yet he had come too close to his revenge to give up.

His body emitted a white glow and a set of giant white hands tried to grab Lith, who used spirit magic to struck at the creature, sending him crashing against a wall. The hands stopped moving for a split second, becoming sitting ducks for Ruin’s World Mirror.

"Are you happy now? Was it worth killing my whole tribe to become this strong?" The creature roared while shedding red tears of rage.

’Did you really kill his whole tribe yet you don’t recognize him?’ Solus was flabbergasted.

’First, if I did, you would have been with me. Second, he needs to be more specific. I’ve done a lot of killing.’ Lith replied.

The creature infused himself with the air element and dashed forward with the speed of a bullet. Having two cores granted him double the mana pool of a normal creature and twice the effects of fusion magic.

Lith switched to a two-handed grip and moved forward while keeping Ruin steady in front of him.

’Double the speed also means double the strain. With both of us moving so fast, the slightest mistake will cause him to self-impale.’ Lith infused his armor with mana, to boost its defensive properties in preparation for the impact.

’Oh shit!’ The creature thought, realizing that any attempt to change his course at such speed would break his kneecaps while doing nothing would result in a gruesome death.
