Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2124

Chapter 2124 Foolish Genius (Part 2)

The Horseman's armor was made of pure Davross and enchanted by Baba Yaga, its power unaffected by Dusk's weakened state. The same applied to Firebrand that he used to intercept the physical enchanted projectiles that rained upon him from every direction while the defensive spells of his armor took care of the magical traps.

'This is a good learning opportunity for you. Do your best and don't worry. The Scorpion armor can take quite a beating.' He said while leaving Kelia in control.

The young girl inwardly yelped in surprise, finding both the great ax and the adult male body hard to control. An external observer might have noticed the movements of the Horseman suddenly becoming clumsy and amateurish, if it wasn't for the Abominations.

Now that Kigan had also shapeshifted into a humanoid form, it was hard to avert the gaze from him and Xenagrosh. The Phoenix-Balor used his yellow, black, and red eyes to absorb the elemental energy stored inside the traps, neutralizing them the moment they were triggered.

Each one of the Evil Eyes would then release the collected power in the form of an elemental pillar so focused that it cut through the enchanted stone of the underground compound.

Magical formations needed a precise configuration of runes to work and Kigan erased dozens of them at a time. By the time the beams triggered a trap, they held less destructive power than a firework.

The Shadow Dragon, instead, released one jet stream of Origin Flames after another, burning through spells and arrays alike.

Whatever device escaped the onslaught of their combined attack would be immediately shot down by Kelia's Spirit Spells, reinforcing the impression that the Horseman was still at his full power.

As they reached the first intersection, Dusk signaled the hybrids to stop. Now that the corridors were lit, he could see that there was something off with the so-called Pleasure Palace.

There were no hand-woven carpets, no expensive furniture, none of those tacky artworks depicting Orpal and his perverted fantasies that Dusk had read about in the Council's reports.

Both the passages at their left and right were barren. Aside from the arrays in the air and the enchantments on the closed doors, there was nothing that Life Vision could pick up.

'This makes no sense.' He said while double checking the surroundings. 'This place was supposed to be the playground of my sister's host but the more we move forward, the more it looks like a plain fortress.'

'Are you suggesting us to back down?' Kigan asked.

'No, only that we tread with caution.' The young girl replied while she broke the great axe into the two short swords that she was more familiar with.

'Should we split?' Xenagrosh looked both ways but they offered no clue about where they led.

'To what end? We would cover more ground, but with dimensional magic sealed we would have no way to regroup quickly.' The Horseman shook her head. 'Besides, without us, you'd have no way to know who to spare and who to kill.'

Xenagrosh could feel from the corridor on the left the smell of human food so they decided to take that direction. It indicated the presence of living beings who maybe could provide them with valuable information.

The moment they moved past a few of the closed doors, they suddenly opened, revealing the presence of a small army of undead that quickly swarmed both ends of the corridor.

'No matter their numbers. Ants are still ants.' Kigan said while covering Dusk's back while Xenagrosh covered the front.
