Supreme Magus - Chapter 479

Chapter 479






The small wound on Lith's neck was already healed as he watched his two Professors fight against the human faced monster that was Thrud Griffon . Even after being hit with the full force of Vastor's spell, not a hair on her head was out of place .

'Solus, analysis . '

'It's exactly as we predicted . Her equipment, combat skill, and mana core are superior to yours . Judging from our exchange, she should be on par with Scarlett the Scorpicore overall . Plus, you have to take into account her artifacts . ' She promptly replied .

'We have a few advantages, though . Fusion magic allows your body to exceed hers, even if not by much . Also, she is underestimating our numbers and the Professors' skill . Last but not least, this place is built above a mana geyser .

'Now that I have had the time to check, I have confirmed that she hasn't tapped into its power for her arrays, nor has she sealed the geyser . Which means it's mine for the taking . '

Solus's ring assumed its gauntlet form, and then it kept growing until it covered Lith's arm up to the elbow . Razor sharp claws extended from his fingers and small blades extended out from it along the outside of his forearm .

A gemstone rested on the back of his hand, which turned from a deep shade of green to a bright one as the world energy flowed into her body . Thanks to their bond, Lith's recovery abilities improved instantly .

Unluckily, there was no space for him in the current fight .





Manohar's light constructs had uncanny versatility and he used that to its fullest to be unpredictable . They would constantly turn from weapons into shields, or even into some kind of exoskeleton whenever Thrud forced him into close combat .

Vastor had never been blessed with a nimble body, but he had long since learned how to overcome that limitation . His tier five air spell Glide allowed him to fly around the room with great speed without sacrificing finesse .

Lith knew how hard it was to use air currents to propel oneself in such an enclosed space without crashing against the walls or the columns . Yet the Professor managed to move with short controlled bursts of speed .

They made him untouchable while he chanted one spell after the other and dodged everything Thrud threw at him . Lith went to check Jirni's condition while Solus kept an eye on the events, waiting for their opportunity to intervene .

Lady Ernas was puking blood and bile from the earlier kick . Manohar's protection had allowed her to survive, but she was still messed up . Lith removed her concussion, fixed her ribs, and healed her punctured lungs .

"Don't waste life force on me . " Jirni said as she felt her strength returning .

"That woman is beyond anything I can do, whereas with your spells you might make a difference . "

Lith ignored her words since it was Solus's mana geyser empowered Invigoration providing her treatment .





'I need every edge I can get . ' Lith thought . 'Jirni's cunning and battle experience cannot be underestimated, yet it's what the Mad Queen is doing . What makes her so arrogant?'

The answer came in the form of a joyous laugh . A snap of Thrud's fingers conjured one of her tier five personal spells, Raging Griffon . It made a small tornado appear around her which drew everything inside the room that wasn't bolted to the floor towards her .

The pull it exerted was sudden and powerful, making Manohar almost lose his footing . Thanks to his hit and run tactics, Vastor wasn't as affected but he had other problems to worry about .

The tornado was sucking the air away, making chanting harder . It wouldn't have been much of an issue, if not for his need to avoid being pulled toward Thrud and dodge the sea of corpses which were now spinning around the room .

All of Thrud's clones were being lifted off the ground and turned into deadly projectiles . Thanks to their enchanted clothes, the corpses would deal no damage to the Professors, but the impact would break their focus or maybe even drag them into the whirlwind .

Thrud's spell consisted of countless air blades spinning around their master with enough speed to generate the tornado and blend everything it touched into a puree . Manohar had nothing prepared for such a threat, so he had to use gravity magic to keep his balance while his light constructs brought him to safety .

Vastor wasn't capable of using gravity magic . The only thing he could do was raise stone walls to protect himself .





'The fat rat is cornered, so I'm free to deal with the so called genius . ' Thrud thought as she darted toward the defenseless Manohar .

"Son of a…" Was all he managed to say before the air blades surrounding Thrud almost bit into his flesh . Manohar recalled all of his constructs around him and avoided the worst .

The shields would crack and shatter after a few hits, but he could replace them with the others that surrounded him while his will reassembled the fragments . Yet even with his great mana reserves, it was only a matter of time before they were exhausted .

To make matters worse, Thrud snapped her fingers again and unleashed another tier five spell, Black Griffon . Six griffons as big as horses and made of darkness galloped towards her enemies .

Usually darkness magic's weak point was its slow speed, but aside from Thrud everyone else was locked in place . Lith was the only reason why Jirni wasn't already dead .

He had protected both of them with an air shield while casting spells from time to time to test the enemy's defenses . Earth and water magic were useless since they took physical forms that Rampaging Griffon had no problems destroying .

The lack of oxygen greatly weakened fire magic, leaving only darkness and air magic viable for him to use . Lith and Solus were still racking their brains when they saw two Black Griffons rushing against them .

There was one for each member of his group and two for Manohar who also had to face them almost at point blank range .

"This doesn't bode well . " He said as the summoned creatures ripped through his barrier faster than he could reform it .

"Save yourself, you idiot . There's no point in dying together . " Jirni snarled while trying to push Lith away .

"How exactly?" He snarled back . "That thing would chase me and the windstorm would suck me in at the tiniest mistake . "

Lith shot a barrage of Plague Arrows towards the Griffons . It slowed their advance and reduced their size but it didn't stop them . Lith activated Death Call, conjuring four arms made of darkness that tackled his aggressors .

'What the fuck?' He thought in surprise when the two spells made contact . 'Darkness can touch darkness like they are both tangible, maybe I can do this!'

Or so he believed until the huge energy mass composing Thrud's tier five spell consumed his thinner tier four .

Even with Solus helping him to constantly regenerate the shadow limbs, Lith could only delay the inevitable .

Hidden behind a column at the far end of the room, away from the fight, there lay the last Spellbreaker . Kilian had worked hard in the backlines, using his skills to tamper with the outposts protections despite the distance separating him from their source .

"Short distance Warps are now possible!" He yelled as he Blinked to the other side of the room . The Black Griffon chasing him didn't stop in time . It crashed against the layers of runes which sealed the area and disappeared in a puff of smoke .
