Supreme Magus novel Chapter 892

Chapter 892 Power Source Part 2

The vampire shuddered at the memory of the energy beam that Nalrond had earlier unleashed against Dawn. A single spawn wasn’t able to use powerful constructs, let alone to defend against an attack big enough to engulf the entire tunnel.

Unaware that the battle was already over, Lith used an air spell to fly behind the undead without using his wings. He wanted to keep as many secrets as he could in the case that they failed to escape and had to face Dawn.

"What are you waiting for? I’ll keep her busy until you cast Nightfall." The spell Lith mentioned was one of the most powerful tools the Griffon Kingdom employed against the undead.

Both the Rezar and the Chiropteran looked at each other in confusion. The former had no idea what he was supposed to do while the latter looked at Nalrond with a mix of admiration and fear.

Dawn cursed her bad luck. She knew from Acala’s memories that Lith was a Great Mage, but the Griffon Kingdom entrusting a state secret of that importance with someone that young was unheard of.

’The Ranger must have shared Nightfall with the Rezar while we lost track of them.’ Dawn thought. ’Luckily, my strategy made Lith lose his spells and the kid is too green to fight properly.’

Dawn ordered the Chiropteran to run away. Winning in a two against one scenario was impossible. If either of them finished casting Nightfall, she would lose another vampire.

The creature flapped her wings while using air magic to increase her agility to its utmost limits. Thanks to her superior air maneuverability, she managed to escape from the encirclement and reached the tunnel.

Exactly where Lith wanted her.

In such a confined space, the Chiropteran’s huge frame was a fish in a barrel, incapable of dodging an area of effect attack. Lith’s tier five spell, Raging Sun, created a blast of purple flames right in front of the vampire.

The heat and the shockwaves produced by the blast bounced on the corridor’s wall time and time again, attacking the Chiropteran from every side as if it was in the middle of a volcanic eruption.

Pieces of stone turned into lapillus that pierced her flesh while the shockwaves pulverized her body and the searing heat made it impossible for her wounds to recover. The explosion also made the tunnel collapse, closing the only way to the underground lab under tons of rocks.

’This should slow Dawn long enough for us to escape.’ Lith thought.

"What the heck is Nightfall?" Nalrond could finally heal his wounds and regrow the scales he had lost.

"Wish I knew." Lith sighed, using Invigoration at every breath.

He had only heard about it during the boot camp. Nightfall was an army secret on par with Royal Forgemastering, something that would be mentioned to the troops with the goal of encouraging them to do their best and join the elite anti-Balkor corps.

Lith’s bluff had exploited Dawn’s mind link with Acala. He was a Ranger as well and knew how dangerous such a spell was. Otherwise Nightfall would have just been a random word. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

"Which way is the exit?" Lith asked.
