Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4339

Chapter 4339: No Nickname (Part 1)

***

"One Verhen down. Only two more to go." Jorl was still speaking when Dusk Wraith came down on Solus’ head like a meteor.

"Nah." A mocking voice said as something hit the Storm Griffon like an avalanche, crushing his Spirit Barrier, Starpath armor, and body despite the Life Maelstrom enhancing their toughness tenfold.

"No dimensional magic and alone against us plus an army of Golems. What could you possibly do?" The Book of Knowledge smirked, and Lith’s whole world went black.

The tier five Chaos Spell, Void Hunger, erased an entire squadron of Golems, Salanoth’s artifacts, and Uragar’s spells from existence without so much as scratching the Tiamat’s Voidwalker armor.

Lith’s blindness lasted less than a second, and when he could see again, he had no idea what had just happened.

"Boy!" The voice cut through the roars of elemental blasts and explosions like a hot knife through butter. "This isn’t part of our deal. If you called me here only to save your life, you and I are going to have a problem."

Tezka the Suneater punched the air above him without using Fusion Magic or releasing a spell, yet the resulting shockwave cleared the area around the Rezar of Golems and noise alike.

"There!" Among his many talents, Nalrond had the gift of brevity. "That’s the one you’re looking for."

Tezka’s eyes followed the extended claw and met Salanoth’s terrified gaze.

"No!" She cursed her bad luck in all the languages she had learned over the millennia. "Anyone but him!"

"That insignificant girl?" Golems knew no fear and attacked Tezka the moment the Scouts and the Ring of Space marked him for extermination. "Are you sure?"

The constructs charged at him in droves and fell in droves. Their elemental blasts bounced harmlessly over the Fylgja’s silver and black fur, whereas his ten tails swatted the Golems down like pesky flies.

The stone bodies of the constructs didn’t just break. They turned into dust, vapor, frozen shards, lost their enchantments, split into their base materials, or just disappeared.

"Yes." The Agni nodded. "She’s the one who’s sealing the space. Didn’t you notice how she controlled those artifacts from a distance?"

"Wasn’t that Spirit Magic?" Tezka had not recovered Life Vision, so he needed a quick spell to confirm Nalrond’s words. "Order and Chaos, you are right. That was a mix of gravity and dimensional magic. Remarkable."

"If the space is sealed, how in the gods’ names did that guy get in?" Jorl asked as the healing spells of the Starpath armor restored his spine and lungs enough for him to breathe again.

"That ’guy’ is the legendary Tezka the Suneater." Salanoth said. "He must have found a way to apply the Chaos element to dimensional magic and tear the space open when he Warps.

"You can’t see it, but there’s a dimensional rift where he appeared. Only time or a special spell can close it."

"You noticed that?" Tezka’s ears twitched in surprise. "Color me surprised. Meeting a fellow dimensional mage is already rare. Bestowing any level of dimensional awareness upon a cursed object is something that’s supposed to be impossible, let alone creating an artificial dimensional mage of your caliber.

"I would be tempted to spare you, if you didn’t carry the stench of that loser of Meln Narchat on you. Do you mind telling me who created you, kid?"

The Ring of Space had already shapeshifted her host into her Upyr form, and the smell of Orpal’s blood that wafted through the air was strong enough to make Tezka retch.
