Supreme Magus novel Chapter 879

Chapter 879 Simple Math Part 1

People might wonder how could Acala best an opponent that had managed to kill Verhen, if not even suspect him to have killed his fellow Ranger with his own hands. Saving Lith’s life, instead, would have given Dawn the perfect witness to her puppet’s heroics.

To add insult to injury, Lith would not only be forced to publicly admit his defeat, but he would also owe them a big favor. Acala was still a social outcast, whereas Lith was acquainted with all the upper echelons of the Kingdom, to the point of being familiar with the Royals themselves.

’I’m dying to steal all the secrets behind the success of such a man and Verhen is far more valuable alive than dead.’ Dawn thought while studying Lith’s movements through her spawns’ eyes.

’I’ve made up my mind. I’ll use Verhen as a stepping stone and revel in his ruin before using one of my spawns to take control of...’ Her plans turned into a pile of debris in a second, along with a big portion of the south wall.

The scaled hybrid came through a wall with enough strength to make the cave tremble, destabilizing the whole underground network.

"Die, you monster!" He said while unleashing a white-hot energy beam that filled the entirety of the corridor Acala was in. The giant ray was too fast and too close to dodge it, leaving Acala no way out.

"You again?" Both Rangers said in unison, uncertain whether to be more surprised by the creature’s return or by the fact that their respective partner knew the hybrid as well.

Much to anyone surprise, the undead Acala was fighting against turned around, shielding him with their bodies and using their own light magic to take the brunt of the damage.

The creatures fighting Lith were torn between their instinct to protect their master and obeying her command.

The inner conflict slowed them enough for Lith to kill the last thrall of the group with a palm strike that pushed her away and engulfed her body into Final Sunset’s black flames.

The sudden death of all the thralls and Dawn focusing on the newcomer allowed the vampires near Lith to regain their senses. The cursed item had not possessed them for long, allowing them to retain their personality.

"Get out!" Said a vampire that looked like a dandy young noble in his early twenties. Lith was so flabbergasted by how sincerely worried his enemies now looked about his wellbeing to stop his attack midway.

"I said get out!" The vampire had a panicked look, all the bloodlust in the room was gone.

"The other Ranger is possessed by the Horseman of Dawn. It’s too late for us, but I’ll be damned if I let go of the opportunity to screw up with her plans, even if it cost me my life."

"Listen to him and run!" Said a charming middle-aged woman while pointing at a corridor with her still extended claw.

"She might be back any moment and if you strike us down, she’ll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Warn the Kingdom. Warn the undead Courts that the Bright Day is back. She’s..." The prism in her chest released so much light to become visible underneath the heavy clothing. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

The white energy traveled through the undead’s veins, making them bulge as it reached their brains and restored Dawn’s control over their minds.
