Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4347

Chapter 4347: Falling Apart (Part 1)

Dethroning Orpal and helping Jorl to establish his kingdom of Upyrs was but a stepping stone for Akhton.

His final goal was to put an end to the territorial wars in Verendi and unify the continent under his banner. Yet Akhton knew that the Master’s Organization, the current shadow ruler of Verendi, wouldn’t let him put it out of business without a fight.

The Organization barely acknowledged Akhton’s existence, but to him, they were sworn enemies. The Bastet-Upyr had never forgiven the Organization for capturing and experimenting on his mother, Ileza, and for profiting off the wars that the people of Verendi waged against each other.

’Sooner or later, the Organization and I will have to fight, and only one of us will come out of the conflict alive.’ He thought. ’Tezka is a core member of the Master’s Organization and its strongest member.

’If today we kill him, getting rid of the rest of the Master’s hybrids and freeing Verendi from their clutches tomorrow will be much easier. If we fail, we’ll still learn a lot about Tezka’s abilities and how to defeat him.

’The outcome of this battle doesn’t matter. As long as we survive, this will be our victory!’ Akhton thought, his mind filled with dreams of revenge and future glory.

Salanoth’s swarm of magical weapons attacked Tezka from the front to cloud his vision, while Uragar’s spells came from above, and Jorl and Akhton flanked the Suneater.

The three Upyrs attacked in unison, striking at the same moment as the swarm, so as not to give the Fylgja time to react. Tezka exhaled slowly, waving his hands in a circle as he planted his feet and widened his stance.

A flick of the Suneater’s right wrist opened a large Zero Warp before the incoming metal swarm, while the splaying of the fingers of his left hand conjured two exit points beside him.

As the flying weapons crossed through the blue spinning vortex, the Zero element stripped them of heat at the molecular level. Their enchantments stopped working, and Chaos Dimension severed their link with Salanoth, turning the remote-controlled blades into a mindless avalanche.

Tezka split the torrent of frozen weapons in two and aimed them at the Storm Griffon and the Bastet. The Cursed ice element had sealed the artifacts’ magical powers, but Adamant was still Adamant, and Zero coated the entire length of the weapons.

Akhton and Jorl were forced to slow down, focusing on defence to destroy and deflect what they couldn’t avoid. The razor-sharp layer of cursed ice made the frozen artifacts dangerous from tip to pommel, but that was only part of the problem.

’I trust the Black Throne’s skill in crafting my Starpath armor.’ Jorl thought as he fought with the fury of a living storm. ’What I’m afraid of is what that kind of cold will do to me if even one of those weapons gets stuck in my body.’

His Dusk Wraith maces destroyed dozens of frozen artifacts with each swing, producing the silvery sound of a spoon tapping a crystal flute. Alas, they also made their master’s worst fears come true.

The frozen weapons shattered on impact into hundreds of Adamant fragments, and the Zero element they were imbued with allowed them to pierce through the gravity sheath of the Starpath armor.

The smaller the Adamant shard, the sharper it was and the deeper it dug through Jorl’s black hide. The invading Zero element reacted like a hungry beast, robbing the Storm Griffon of his body heat and turning him into a shivering mess.
