Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3812

Chapter 3812: Written in Blood (Part 1)

"No!" After having an arm severed, the fire rate and the power of Ruugat’s Tower Tier Mana Storm spell were halved, opening a clear path for the Dread Knights. "I refuse to fall like this! You are nothing but ants!"

He aimed his remaining hand at the undead and channeled his power to the mana crystals studded across his surface for another Fountain of Death.

With Ruugat’s chest now still, Lith swung Double Edge a third time.

He thrusted the blade deep into the lost city, past the Earthly Vault, and released the Silverwing’s Annihilation coating the blade. At the same time, Lith also conjured a barrage of spells from the Firing Range and unleashed them through the blade.

The concussive blasts drew Ruugat’s attention to the Engine, allowing the Dread Knights to reach the lost city unhindered.

Each spear hit like a meteorite, injecting the spell imbued in their tips under Ruugat’s stone skin. The elves had used this method to lessen the strain on the Dread Knights and keep the explosions from slowing down the gallop of those who followed them.

Each line of Dread Knights struck Ruugat’s massive left foot and immediately turned around to make way for the next, like waves crashing on a shore. The Adamant spears of the undead broke, but thanks to the power of the people of Zelex, their enchantments endured.

The weapons self-repaired the moment they shattered, their fragments chasing after the retreating knights while the charge continued. The first blows merely dented the mass Adamant and solid stone that comprised Ruugat’s foot, but with each passing line of Dread Knight, the dents turned into craters.

Then the craters opened into cracks that spread to the rest of the limb, going deeper and farther as the column of Knights hammered into the same weakened spot with surgical precision.

Lost cities weren’t supposed to know fear or pain, but Ruugat had learned both from his previous defeat. The thought of being sealed again terrified him, and the sensation of his mighty body crumbling pained him.

The cruel blade of the small lost city kept destroying Ruugat from the inside, while the small ants at his feet kept biting and injecting their venom.

"I won’t fall! I refuse to fall!" The lost city sealed the wound in his chest, trapping Double Edge inside.

A punch with his mace-ending arm made the Engine lose its grip on the blade and sent Lith flying. Ruugat’s left foot exploded with a boom of thunder. With one leg shorter, he had a hard time balancing himself, and the limp slowed him down.

Yet Ruugat was far from defeated.

’I can still win.’ He thought. ’If I fix my foot before those galloping ants return, I can still win.’

The column of Dread Knights had run away and disappeared into the Warping Arrays that had transported them to the battlefield. They needed time to fix their shattered weapons and allow the elves to imbue them with new spells.

Also, despite their stunning destructive power, the defensive abilities of a Dread Knight were unremarkable. If not for Lith drawing Ruugat’s attention, the Fountain of Death would have massacred them.

With the surprise effect gone, the Dread Knights had to wait for their allies to create another diversion, or the next time they charged at the lost city, they would be lambs running to their slaughter.

Ruugat roared in fear and fury, swinging wildly at the Engine before Lith could regain his footing.

Dawn came to his rescue, throwing her colossal jousting lances at the lost city back after adding a tier three Light Mastery heat ray on their heel to propel them forward.

’Son of a bitch!’ The Horseman’s bones broke, and her flesh tore under the protection of the Firstlight armor. ’Ruugat is afraid of the Dread Knights, and he knows that if something happens to me, the entire undead front will collapse!’
