Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3815

Chapter 3815: Something More (Part 2)

Dawn’s attacks caught the lost city by surprise, and he understood his mistake only when it was already too late. Ruugat stumbled forward, using his mass to press on the Prime Engine and force Lith to hold him up.

"This is for my people!" Syrah consumed every bit of Ruin’s power she still had in a cross-shaped slash that also carried the power of a hundred Hati.

It carved a deep furrow, but to the size of the lost city, it was but a scratch.

A scratch that marked the point where the nearby seven-man Awakened units could focus their Annihilations. The right knee bent against Ruugat’s will, and Lith managed to slip out of Ruugat’s hold.

’Ryla, Golden lightning!’ Lith said while activating his yellow and orange eyes for Void Magic.

’Garrik was right.’ The Fomor replied as her entire body sparked with electricity. ’We do need to find a name for this thing!’

The orange aura turned yellow and then condensed into lightning bolts that coiled around the Engine like angry snakes.

His destructive power enhanced again, Lith unleashed a flurry of fists at the kneeling opponent whose face was now within his arms’ reach. Lith thickened the layer of enchanted metal around his arms in an attempt to lessen the backlash.

The air element channeled by Ryla through the tower only improved his speed and destructive power. He was akin to a teenager punching a professional fighter several weight classes above, and each hit hurt him as well.

"What?" Ruugat and Solus said in unison, one with his voice and the other via the mind link.

Lith ignored them both, but the rest of the battlefield froze for a brief instant. Suddenly, the left membranous wing on the Tiamat’s back wasn’t just imbued with air element anymore. The wing was wrapped in air element.

What looked like a yellow burst of fire erupting from the armor shrouded the membranous wing in a thick layer of energy that resembled a bunch of feathers.

"Who are you?" Ruugat focused the Earthly Vault enchantment on his legs and shoulders, using his arms to launch a counterattack. "What are you?"

Lith switched the air with the earth element with Ryla’s help again and weathered the storm, his arms raised in an impenetrable wall. The orange aura surrounding the Tiamat’s right membranous wing burst into fire as well, yet the left wing remained ablaze with yellow energy.

’What’s our next move?’ Ryla felt weird, as if something was creeping under her skin to poke and prod at her. ’Shouldn’t we retrieve your blade?’

’That was the idea.’ Lith grunted in effort, feeling his bones crack. ’But I can’t just extend my hand and pull Ragnarök out. I need to keep my footing stable, or Ruugat will lift me like a rag doll and break-’

"Finally!" The lost city’s crazed laugh sent a shiver down everyone’s spine. "You are all in my grasp!"

The attack was a joint effort, and Lith’s role was to draw Ruugat’s attention at critical moments, not to fight him alone. When, despite the allied forces’ best efforts, the lost city had kept ignoring them, the troops had moved forward to unleash more spells more quickly.

In their rush, the allied forces hadn’t noticed that they had stepped inside Fountain of Death’s range.

’Shit!’ Dawn realized her mistake and attempted to Spirit Blink away, just to discover that Ruugat had always had a dimensional compression array in his arsenal; he just had no reason to activate it until that moment.

’The readings are off the scale!’ Solus tried to divert the Eyes of Menadion on the lost city, but the tower ignored her orders. ’According to my mana sense and the Watchtower, this is nothing like the first Fountain of Death.

’The energy levels of Ruugat’s pseudo cores are plummeting. He is putting everything he has into this attack.’

’How many Bastions do we have left?’ Lith asked.

’One.’ Solus’ reply made his blood run cold. ’We consumed three already, then Ruin, and two of the three slots left are filled with Silverwing’s Annihilation. Before you ask, the answer is not. There is no time or way to convert them into Bastions.’

’It took us two Bastions to resist the first Fountain of Death, and back then we were at our peak strength.’ Lith cursed. ’Ryla, give me all you got. There is no point in saving our mana for the afterlife!’

Her wings drew world energy faster than it was safe. Several of her feathers blackened and burned, sending jolts of agony right into her soul, but Ryla gritted her teeth and soldiered on. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

’What is he doing? What is this feeling?’ A shiver passed through Solus’ energy body as she found herself trembling even though she wasn’t supposed to feel cold.
