Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3548

The Emperor Beasts shot Alchemical bullets at the bottom of the stairwell and conjured a violent flame in front of the open door. The still-bouncing enchanted blades ripped the bullets open, releasing their content and spreading it through the air.

At the same time, the hot air generated by the flames turned the stairwell into a chimney and carried the toxins. At that point, the three Emperor Beasts activated their potion tattoos.

After countless experiments and tinkering, Kugoh had discovered that it was possible to amplify the effects of all kinds of fusion magic by adding a tiny amount of Hatorne’s toxins to body-enhancing potions.

The toxins’ concentration had to be too low to make the elemental flow go haywire but high enough to stir a true mage’s untapped potential.

Once the contaminated Alchemical potions interacted with fusion magic’s mana flow, the toxins acted like a catalyst, increasing the mana core’s output of two levels for true mages below the bright blue core and one for those at the bright blue.

Jika’s and the other two Emperor Beasts’ fusion magic was now as strong as if they were deep violet-cored Awakeneds. The contaminated potions put a great strain on their bodies that would take days of rest to recover but first the Emperor Beast had to live long enough to worry about that. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

Lith never stopped or slowed down his descent, his cloaked aura seemingly unaffected.

"Fuck!" As Lith walked through the door, Jika saw the thin layer of Origin Flames wrapped around Lith’s body. "The toxins didn’t work. Be car-"

Lith flicked two fingers and the air between the Emperor Beasts blazed with emerald flames. Ragnarök bolted out of the pocket dimension from point-blank, hitting the serpentine Emperor Beasts and nailing her to the wall.

As her two teammates instinctively turned their heads toward the source of the agonizing screams, Lith Spirit Blinked behind the canine Emperor Beast. One hand grabbed his neck while the other the small of his back, pulling them in opposite directions.

By the time Jika saw Lith again, he was holding a severed head attached to part of a broken spine in his right hand and a leg in his left. The rest of the canine Emperor Beast lay on the floor in a puddle of his own blood.

"Fuck!" The serpentine Emperor Beast was alive and screaming but Jika knew it was a trap.

Somehow, the mana crystals on Ragnarök’s blade narrowed and its cross guard curled up in what was unmistakably a smile. The blade was taunting the Zouwu to take its hilt and pull Ragnarök out of his companion.

The savage joy of that inhuman expression made Jika’s blood run cold.

He activated his bloodline ability, Flash Steps, conjuring a lightning bolt from his tail. It produced a blinding flash of light and bestowed upon the Zouwu a speed that far exceeded even that of a bright violet core.

Jika used the narrow corridor to his advantage, running along the walls and kicking the solid stone to jump around in an unpredictable pattern like a living bullet.

"Slow." Lith’s voice sounded metallic as it came out of a weird helmet with mana crystals on its sides.

He caught the Zouwu by the neck in mid-air like he was just a bouncing ball. Lith held Jika up in the air and slowly increased the pressure of his grip. He had no time to torture his enemy but there was still that trick he had learned as a kid. Stay connected through freewebnovel

Darkness magic flooded Jika’s brain, distorting his perception of time and extending those agonizing seconds into hours. Lith wanted him to suffer as long as Chyrsha/Elina had.

"Slow?" The Zouwu echoed in disbelief.

"You are unlucky." Lith replied, crushing Jika’s neck protector and squeezing his windpipe. "I’ve already met one of your kind. He was much faster than you and I have learned a trick or two since then."
