Supreme Magus novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893 Killer and Murderer Part 1

’It’s impossible.’ Dawn emitted an energy pulse to shook off the Odi tomes that were clouding her vision. ’Even though I still haven’t Awakened Acala due to his too powerful mana core, I’ve refined his body way above the human level.

’He’s almost ready to withstand a blue cored Awakening without turning into an Abomination, yet Verhen swatted us away like a fly. To reach such a degree of body refinement at his young age, he would need to have Awakened in the crib, but that’s impossible.’ And yet it was the truth.

Usually, Lith would have not missed the chance to follow up with his attack, but his body was still trembling with all the world energy coming from the mana geyser that was now coursing through him.

Solus had assumed her arm protector form, covering his right arm from the hand to the shoulder. Yet it wasn’t stable enough to harness the same amount of power that the tower usually would, forcing her to share the burden with Lith and dispel the excess.

’By my maker. This is worse than I thought. The dimensional and earth blocking arrays are still in place, so it’s time to improvise.’ Solus’s stone body bonded with the Orichalcum Skinwalker armor, becoming pure silver in the process.

In turn, the armor started to expand, reshaping itself according to Solus’s arm protector, turning from a thin layer of silvery metal into a thick full armor that covered Lith’s body from head to toes.

The world energy coming from the mana geyser now kept the Orichalcum in its boosted state without the need of mana from Lith’s core.

’The good news is that I’ve just tapped into the full potential of your equipment, me included.’ Solus thought. ’The bad news is that, unlike me, neither the sword nor the armor was made to withstand this kind of power.

’It’s only a matter of time before they collapse.’

Lith cursed his bad luck, resuming his attack the moment he regained control of his movements. Dawn had recovered as well and plunged her hand inside the crystal on Acala’s chest, taking a prism out of it.

The prism changed its shape into a longsword, working as a scaffold for the light construct and further boosting its power. Now the blades were equally matched and so were their bearers.

Dawn had on her side hundreds of years of mastery above all forms of combat, but Acala’s body couldn’t keep up with Lith’s speed or strength. It was a bout of technique against physical prowess.

Lith managed to evade all the attacks because he was faster, whereas Dawn did the same by predicting his movements and dodging before an attack motion had even started.

"Not bad, boy. Keep entertaining me like this and I could take a fancy to your body." Dawn conjured countless hard-light constructs shaped as blades around them, each one holding the same destructive power of a tier four spell.

"Sorry, sister, he already has a girlfriend. Also, you should at least offer him a drink first." Solus cast the tier five spell, Setting Sun, taking both Lith and Dawn by surprise.

The Bright Day still believed that Lith was the rival cursed object’s personality whereas Lith just hated witty banter during a fight.

’Solus, what have we said a thousand times about answering a madman?’ Lith thought while the sphere of black flames generated by the spell erupted from his body.

Instead of keeping Setting Sun active, Solus had it detonating to throw Dawn off guard and blast her constructs away.

It was a mix of light, fire, and darkness magic that generated a wave of dark energy followed by a volley of fiery constructs shaped like snakes. The darkness would weaken the target and seal off their senses, be them physical or mystical, while the hard-light constructs attacked from every side.

The light would paralyze the enemy, the heat would burn them, and the darkness would destroy any form of protection they had.

To make matters worse, as soon as two constructs made contact between them, they would fuse and a new one would be generated until they became a small sun sealing both the darkness and the enemy at its heart.

’Oh, shit!’ Lith was too close for a flight spell to be enough, he had to take out his wings to escape from the first volley.

Yet all he achieved was to buy some time. The constructs kept following him and even though they were not as fast as heat rays, they were much more dangerous because they didn’t fade after their passage.

Lith could only dodge so many times before all the space inside of the cave was filled with light constructs, leaving him no place to hide.

’I could try to escape in a tunnel, but I have no idea where they lead. On top of that, Dawn could detonate the corridor just like I did.’ He thought.

Lith used Dominance to spot the weak points in the constructs, striking at them with Ruin whenever he could. Daybreak shattered in several places, but all Dawn had to do was to use more mana to repair the damage.

Meanwhile, the pulse of darkness kept following Lith like a malevolent shadow, cutting off his escape routes and further limiting his movements.
