Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2099

Chapter 2099 Plans Coming Together (Part 1)

Lith summoned and spread out all the souls he could handle without the help of his Golems, having the new Demons monitor the strategic points of the city hall. Then, he looked through their eyes to study each corridor, room, and the number and position of the enemy troops.

Tista reached the second node of runes and neutralized it with True Flames as well.

She also managed to dispose of the Forgotten who came to check on the disturbance without getting caught, but then the nature of the concentric arrays took its course.

With two nodes out of four down, the strength of the main array plummeted, making it evident for those with high mana perception that someone was tampering with it.

To make matters worse, the phenomenon quickly spread throughout the magical formations covering the city, weakening them as well and alerting even the Forgotten stationed on the city walls.

"That's our cue." Phloria said. "Attack, now!"

The corps that the Council had put under her command amounted to a few hundred of relatively young Awakened. None of them had reached the violet core nor had been chosen as their respective master's heir.

Individually, they were considered expendable pawns. Yet after being trained together and under the guidance of a capable leader, they had become a force to be reckoned with.

Phloria split her troops into three groups.

One group would surround the city and form an offensive Spirit array that would hammer at the city defenses, draining them of their power and reducing the advantage that the city guards still had after Tista's sabotage.

The second group was comprised of Emperor Beasts and represented the main attack force. They had been tasked with combining Spirit Spells and their superior mass to occupy the city walls and destroy the defensive turrets.

On the surface, their goal seemed to be opening gates to let the human army in but it was just a diversion. Their role was to draw as much attention as possible and keep Thrud's soldiers away from the city hall.

The last and smaller group was comprised of both humans and Fae. They used the cover of the Emperor Beasts to Spirit Blink inside Zehnma and advance toward the Warp Gate.

This way, they would give the impression that the Kingdom was following its usual strategy and blocking the reinforcements the moment they stepped out of the dimensional portal.

Faes were smaller and lighter than Emperor Beasts but they all had bloodline abilities that weren't hindered by the defensive arrays. Phloria had formed specialized groups for each task that would have an advantage over the units of Forgotten who instead were jacks of all trades but masters of none.

She was in charge of the first group, leading the assault in the flashiest way she could.

The air, earth, and fire elements were sealed but water and darkness were still available. Water magic was needed in the everyday life to drink and put out fires while without darkness magic healers couldn't do their job.

Phloria had charged Reaver solely with spells that used those two elements to not waste a single iota of her mana. Her estoc was the second piece of the War series that her father Orion had forged.
