Supreme Magus novel Chapter 957

Chapter 957 Sometimes They Come Back Part 1

’Please, Solus, save the fancy words for later and tell why Hystar’s energy signature weakening matters now.’ Lith thought while activating Full Guard. Not even Solus could follow so many targets at the same time and he couldn’t afford to be taken by surprise.

Stray spells flew throughout the room, limiting his space of maneuver, and the moment one of the Golden Griffon’s inmates spotted Lith, they would chase him with haunted eyes as if he was a juicy prime rib on a barbeque.

’It matters because, unlike what happened when we tried to take the Davross Forge or when Jakra the Dragon used Origin Flames, the building is not coming to life. My guess is that Arthan didn’t trust Hystar enough to give him full control of the academy.

’He admitted that Huryole has rules that even he has to follow. As long as you don’t break any of them, he has to consume his own power.’ Solus said.

The Living Legacy didn’t lie about the academy offering the possibility to train endlessly, about how those trapped inside the Golden Griffon could sharpen and polish their skill to the utmost limit.

Each one of them was a fierce opponent with hundreds of years of battle experience and no care for their survival. They had fought the whole time while being famished, wounded, and sometimes even maimed.

Hystar’s ’students’ had learned how to mess their own spells up on purpose, to detonate along with the enemy and turn themselves into living bombs. Lith cursed his bad luck when an explosion sent him crashing on the ground.

He had sustained no damage, but the constructs had finally the opportunity to pile up on him and unleash their best spells in unison. Lith let them form a small mound that covered him from sight and from the ensuing chaos so that the students would turn against each other.

The Spirit Barrier ring required a lot of mana to sustain such weight and block the spells that were raining down on it, but Lith could afford it thanks to Invigoration. Once Life Vision showed him that the coast was clear, Lith expanded the barrier and sent the golems flying.

He used his wings and air magic to fly faster than a bullet, reaching the Gardens of Madness in two flaps. The route Solus had traced for him required to cut through the middle of the park, offering him no cover.

The golems from the canteen followed him and new ones emerged from the Gardens’ walls. To make matters worse, those skilled enough to become the landlords of the green area were well fed and rested. Some even had followers.

They were a much greater threat than their starving peers.

’Time to trigger the detonator.’ A snap of Lith’s finger made all the small bags he had hidden inside the bushes open, releasing their delicious smell.

The "bombs" he had prepared were actually steaming delicacies that he conserved inside his pocket dimension. The bags were something he had devised for places like Belius or Huryole, where dimensional items didn’t work.

They would keep the food warm and fragrant.

Even the Gardens’ landlords didn’t have a hot meal in decades, let alone those who found the canteen’s disgusting gruel tasty. The food frenzy made everyone go insane, fighting with their life on the line just to get one bite.

The students ignored Lith, who kept away from the bags, and ground the golems into dust simply because the constructs were on their path. Lith kept flapping his wings, moving as fast as he could toward the exit.
