Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1523

Chapter 1523 Chaos Hybrids Part 1

'I would love to stay and watch them fight. We could learn a lot from the Hordes, but I almost died by fighting a much weaker Puppeteer. That thing must be an Eldritch and there's no telling how powerful it is.' Lith said via the mind link.

'That's not just any Eldritch. He is Vareen the Plaguespreader!' Horror filled Aalejah's mind as she recognized their enemy. 'We need to get out of here fast!'

'If this is a test, where the fuck is the Council?' Athung asked.

"What the fuck is happening in Urgamakka and why did we lose the cameras?" Raagu said while calling Inxialot's Council amulet.

"Not now, old hag. This data is much better than that compiled by making the Hordes fight those greenhorns." An unknown voice replied before hanging up the call.

"Who was that?" Lotho called Inxialot as well, but the contact rune had suddenly become unavailable, a clear sign that the amulet had been stored inside a dimensional amulet.

"I won't stand for this bullshit!" Feela stood up, reading the Warping array that the Council had set up in the case the Lich pulled one of his shenanigans. "I told you it was a bad idea entrusting our kids to a madman."

"Then why didn't you volunteer to take his place?" Raagu said with a sneer.

"And waste days playing babysitter and rewarding that asshole for dumping his Council duties on us? No way!" Feela replied with a rage that turned into fear when the Warping Array failed to activate.

"Oh, shit. I'm afraid we have to call the Guardians."

"And tell them what? That we are unable to clean our own asses?" Raagu cursed non-stop at Inxialot's offline communication rune for a few seconds before giving up on the idea of getting back in touch with Urgamakka.

"How long would it take us to get there?" She asked.

"The city is located in the middle of nowhere so even if we combine our resources, it would take us a few minutes." Lotho said.

"Please, whatever attacked our students needed seconds to cut us off. Even if we get there in two minutes, it would be too late. I say we swallow our pride and ask for help. Guardians are still a part of the Council." Feela said.

"Is there nothing you can tell us from your link with the elf?" Raagu asked the World Tree.

"I'm sorry, but when the Hordes attacked, she lost consciousness and let go of the staff so- Call the fucking Guardians!" The Yggdrasill said.

Thousands of miles away from the Council, Aalejah had picked her staff up, allowing the representatives of the four races to discover that fear could even twist the bark of the First Awakened.

While Vareen managed to single-handedly take care of the nine Hordes that comprised the entirety of the Awakened fungal race on Mogar, his minions were tearing down the city as if it was made of paper-mache instead of stone and magic.

The Chaos they were imbued with allowed the Abomination hybrids to destroy any obstacle between them and their target while the defense mechanisms they met would just become fuel for their black cores.

"Help kids?" Ratpack pointed at a group of Chaos-infected creatures that were closing in to the apprentices.

"Right when things are getting interesting? Are you insane?" Inxialot asked as one of the Horde was hit by a Chaos spell that left no spore left, reducing them to eight. "Or not. Maybe they left some spare parts somewhere. They can still regen-"

Darkness was supposed to be the bane of Abominations, yet despite the abundant mana she had poured in her spell, it lasted just a split-second. The vultures were now bigger and there was no sign of damage on their bodies.

'I was about to say that any attack on the corrupted parts of their bodies is pointless.' Aalejah said with a scoff. 'They feed on anything but Chaos, which means that all elements and weapons are but a snack to them.

'They absorbed the air element and used it to counter the darkness. Use only darkness-based spells and aim them at the healthy parts-'

'On it!' Phloria replied while activating Full Guard.

It gave her perfect awareness of her surroundings and when the first vulture attacked her in a feeding frenzy, she had no trouble countering it. Her estoc, Reaver, stabbed one of the eyes of the creature and released one of the spells she had imbued it with.

The head of the vulture disappeared in a burst of darkness, only to be regenerated in a burst of Chaos.

'I just made it stronger!' Phloria cursed at the elf while Life Vision showed her that the black core of the creature had become bigger by absorbing the life force released by the wound.

'What do you guys have against me finishing a sentence?' Aalejah cursed back. 'I was about to warn you about that. The healthy parts limit the strength of the hybrids because they are also their energy reserve.

'The more we destroy what's left of their bodies, the stronger the hybrids will become. Yet it will also speed up the corruption process and the moment the Chaos absorbs the last bit of their life force, they'll die.'

'What?' Lith couldn't help but draw a parallel between those hybrids and his lesser Abomination form, wondering if the same might happen to him.
