Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3697

Chapter 3697: Up Close and Personal (Part 2)

The conversation had yet to end and the spells to be recalled, that Lith’s core temperature stabilized. He dug his way out of the encirclement and the gravity array, taking the skies again.

‘Don’t let him reach Dragonspeed or we’ll have to start everything over again!’ Uryn passed a series of orders that the rest of the Awakened executed.

Jissha the Roc was the fastest in the group, and despite her previous failed attempt, she didn’t hesitate to charge forward after activating Living Thunder.

Air resistance disappeared as she rode Mogar’s magnetic field, reaching Lith in the blink of an eye. He had barely the time to take a deep breath before she swept through him.

This time, he conjured Noxious and Nether Flames, using the latter and keeping the former at the ready.

The cursed earth element carried by the orange flames grounded the electricity and then split it into countless chaotic streams, tearing Jissha’s ethereal body to shreds.

That was within Uryn’s calculations, and so was the Healer ready to pick the Roc’s pieces and put them together before it was too late. Lith had struck with half the flames and used the other half to protect Valeron, just like Uryn had predicted.

The attack had failed to kill the Tiamat, but had succeeded in slowing him down and numbing his limbs enough for Cailm to strike. The Orthrus emerged from a Warp Steps while Lith was still stunned, leaving him no option but to release the Noxious Flames from his mouth.

The air became a toxic acid, but Cailm had come prepared. Both his heads only had defensive spells at the ready, and he was holding his breath. The cursed flames overpowered his defense, but they had so little strength left that Mana Body snuffed them out.

‘Fuck me sideways, the guy was just a diversion to make me waste my flames. I’ve fallen into a trap!’ Lith thought, turning his head just in time to see another Warp Steps opening just a split second after the Orthrus’.

Zakra the Titania bolted out of it at full speed, her ten blades ablaze with their respective enchantments and all of them aimed at Lith’s left arm. Or rather, at Valeron.

‘Daughter of a bastard!’ Lith conjured his Golems just for Raptor to be pressed down by a Gravity Array he barely dodged, and Trouble to be shot down by the tier five Spirit Spell, Phoenix Smash.

The emerald flames would damage the Golem’s body and power core both, draining its energy reserves twice as fast.

Lith parried the first strike, barely deflected the second, and by the third attack, his right arm was so numb from the impacts that he couldn’t move it anymore. The Titania was much stronger than the Tiamat and had eight strikes left.

Lith deflected the third and fourth with his membranous wings, and the fifth with his spiked tail. When the sixth blade arrived, his limbs failed him and forced him to resort to his Spirit Barrier.

“Got you, you slimy eel!” Zakra hit the emerald wall with all five blades at once instead of one at a time.

The violence of the impact sent Lith crashing to the ground, digging a several-meter-deep crater and bringing his escape to a halt.

‘Phase three was a success.’ Uryn clenched his fist in triumph. ‘Move on to phase four. Jissha, Cailm, do not join the fight until you have fully recovered. Don’t become a liability Verhen can exploit.’
