Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4183

Chapter 4183: Magic Word (Part 2)

The Horseman answered with her signature tier five Light Mastery spell, Daybreak. It was a mix of light, fire, and darkness magic that generated a wave of dark energy around Dawn while a volley of fiery constructs shaped as snakes emerged from her body.

The darkness would weaken the target and their spells, also sealing off their senses, be they physical or mystical. At the same time, the hard-light constructs spread across the room in an attempt to trap Protector.

The constructs would paralyze him, the heat they carried would burn him, and the darkness that followed would destroy any form of protection he might conjure.

To make matters worse, as soon as two constructs made contact with each other, they would fuse, and a new one would be generated until they would become a small sun sealing both the darkness and the Skoll at its heart.

Dawn also channeled the light element inside her crystal shield, using it as a framework to form a thick barrier that enveloped her. The countless facets of the prism focused and amplified the light she emitted, enhancing all the constructs’ toughness by several folds.

"That’s what she meant." Nalrond stared at the shield in envy, even though he knew it was no artifact and bore no power core. "That’s how you overcome the delay between conjuring and solidifying a construct."

As for Quylla, her jaw had hit the floor at Daybreak and started to dig its way down.

’That’s pure genius!’ She thought, taking pages upon pages of notes. ’Now I see why she’s the only opponent who managed to defeat Manohar in a fair fight. He even admitted Dawn was a better Light Master than him.

’If only Dad knew the first thing about Light Mastery and crafted Professor Manohar a crystal-like blade, maybe he would have defeated Meln!’

Mana Storm was a hexaelemental spell and one tier of magic above the trielemental Daybreak, yet it failed to break through. The emerald bullets shattered Dawn’s constructs like glass, but new ones formed so fast that Mana Storm achieved nothing.

Thanks to the wave of darkness weakening Protector’s spell, Dawn’s shield construct blocked the few bullets that managed to get past Daybreak without ever cracking.

Moreover, Daybreak already covered half of the room and expanded by the second. Soon, Protector would be forced to use Mana Storm to destroy the constructs that chased him or be trapped by them.

The choice was taken off his hands when hard-light pillars burst out of the ground, blocking his path. Protector missed their approach due to the blinding light of Daybreak and the focus he needed to keep Mana Storm active.

He could only activate the Spirit Barrier of his armor and seal his fate. The moment he stopped moving, Dawn converted the light shield into a heat ray the size of a train. To dodge it, Protector needed to lower his barrier, but that would have meant losing to Daybreak.

He put everything he had into Mana Storm and the barrier, throwing the emerald bullets at the heat pillar and reinforcing the protection with his mana. Protector resisted the blast and lost the battle the moment the tendrils of light crushed his Spirit Barrier.

He was now enveloped in Daybreak to the point that he couldn’t even see Dawn anymore.

"Ten seconds. Congratulations on lasting twice as long as before." The Horseman interrupted her attack when she smelled the stench of burned fur. "Do you have the strength for another round, or do you need to rest? We have four minutes and thirty seconds left."

"Before that, can you please explain what I’m doing wrong?" Protector could barely stand.

Even if Daybreak hadn’t captured him, his mana core was empty, and it would take him several breaths of Invigoration to recover. Dawn, instead, had yet to break a sweat.
