Supreme Magus novel Chapter 878

Chapter 878 Master and Servant Part 2

"Even if they accept me, what good is wealth if you never have the time to enjoy it? If we follow your plan, you’ll die as you’ve lived, like a tool. If we do as I say, instead, we’ll be the one on top and the Royals will grovel at our feet."

Dawn neglected to mention the part where she would erode his mind, take control of his body, and use everything they would be rewarded with to pursue her own personal agenda. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

She wasn’t as naïve, empathetic, and kind as Solus back when she had first met Lith.

Everything the Bright Day had explained and taught to the Ranger after they bonded came with a price. The more Acala relied on Dawn’s abilities, the more she was able to manipulate his thoughts and actions.

Constantly having a voice in his head and a whisper in his ears even while he was asleep, had thinned the boundary between their personalities until Dawn had become the dominant and Acala her servant.

Fusing with a cursed item meant having two minds but only one body, and the Bright Day wasn’t willing to spend a lifetime following Acala’s pipe dreams. She had a goal to achieve, just like her siblings, Red Sun and Black Night.

Their mother had entrusted to each one of them a different duty, and being the firstborn, she couldn’t stand the idea that one of her siblings could beat her.

Lith and Acala were placing their own arrays while an unseen Solus did the same, securing the nearest escape route. Unlike her, Dawn had been made to completely fuse with her host. The Bright Day shared with Acala both his mana signature and life force, making it impossible to distinguish her from her host.

Yet Solus didn’t trust the Ranger and wanted to take precautions in the case Acala wanted to use Lith as a stepping stone for his own career or the missing undead did return untimely.

It took the two Rangers over half an hour to complete their task, but the final result was worth the wait. They had both centered their arrays on the undead’s living quarters and laid a few others on the paths the enemies would be forced to take once the battle began.

Solus kept moving on her own, unseen thanks to her mimetic abilities and her cloaking ring, searching for anything or anyone out of place. Yet she wasn’t able to find any trace of a possible ambush nor did she spot any danger.

To smoke the undead out, the Rangers activated a darkness array to weaken their enemies and an earth blocking array to leave them no way out but the doors that had been rigged as well.

Everything seemed to go according to the plan and the first five enemies died before being able to even scratch one of the Rangers. The arrays had been laid so to synergize their effects and amplify each other’s effectiveness.

Darkness whittled away the vampires’ strength while a gravity formation in front of the doors slowed down their movements and made it impossible for them to fly.

Lith and Acala attacked their respective marks from behind a conjured rock trench that protected them from incoming spells while Solus studied the situation from a vantage position in the ceiling.

Suddenly, the walls of the room burst open. The vampires had learned their lesson and instead of putting themselves in the line of fire like lambs to the slaughter, they had used their magic and physical strength to create new exits.

The ten enemies each took a different approach, flying, running, or crawling on the walls and ceiling to surround their respective target from every direction.
