Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3775

Chapter 3775: Wild Hunt (Part 2)

Protector missed half the times when he used Wild Hunt, but going past the speed of sound also meant a dozen attacks per second. Every time he succeeded, at least one Upyr died, which meant that half a dozen Upyrs died every second.

’And what are we supposed to do?’ A Titania replied. ’Unless we recall Frost Soul, we can only attack with our bodies. If we do recall it, however, that monster will have access to magic as well, and we’ll have to deal with the arrays of the manor.’

’You would be right, if this could get any worse, but I don’t see that happening.’ Kazam replied. ’Also, being restricted beats being dead. Remember that this place has no offensive array. On my mark. Mark!’

The Upyrs dispelled the Frost Soul and activated the Spirit Barriers of their armor in what they hoped was a timely counter to Protector’s next attack. The emerald barrier slammed in front of the flabbergasted Skoll, making his prediction useless.

Wild Hunt had allowed him to assess a situation that had now changed dramatically. The expanding dome deflected the maces, hurting Protector’s wrists, and rammed into his legs, making him trip on his own feet.

’Hold still!’ Kazam yelled, expecting a flurry of deadly blows to hammer at the Spirit Barrier from every side. ’Whatever happens, don’t panic and give everything you have to the barrier!’

Great was his surprise when his plan succeeded, but not in the way he expected. Protector’s momentum had turned him into a living cannonball, and he moved too fast to recover his footing in time.

He had crashed into a wall, suffering heavy wounds as the enormous kinetic energy he carried was brought to an abrupt halt. He bled from many deep cuts, and his body was battered by both the landing and the strain Protector had put himself through.

Moving so fast took a huge toll on his body. Moving even faster with the enhanced mass from Life Eater and the improved strength from the golden lightning, more than tripled that toll.

Kazam and the rest of the Upyrs stared in shock at the injured Skoll as he wheezed like a bellows and showed no sign of getting out of the crater he was stuck in.

The only silver lining was that Frost Soul was no more.

Protector used his breathing technique and switched the focus of the arrays from the Larks to the Upyrs.

’Stop him!’ Kazam yelled. ’I mean, stop the barrier and activate Frost Soul again!’

Protector had only drawn one breath when he felt a deathly cold run down his throat and stopped Invigoration.

’Fuck!’ The Drake couldn’t believe his own eyes.

He had reacted as quickly as he could, yet the monster in front of him didn’t pant anymore and all his wounds were already closed. Protector had recovered only part of his stamina with Invigoration, but Life Eater healed his injuries the moment they opened.

"This is still an unfair fight." Protector moved in front of the pantry again while the Upyrs were focused on assessing his condition with Life Vision. "But it’s an unfair fight I can win now. Face me if you dare."

Despite his willpower, he couldn’t hide the tiredness from his voice more than he could stop his limbs from shaking. Life Eater enhanced Protector life force and provided him with the nutrients he needed to heal, but could restore neither his stamina nor mana.

Using Wild Hunt so many times had drained his mana core, while accelerating past the sound wall and slowing down without turning his legs into mush had consumed his strength.

’Maintain Frost Soul and kill him as fast as we can.’ The Drake ordered. ’The arrays have already recovered too much for my liking. If he gets away while we deal with the magical formations and regain his strength with Invigoration, we’ll be dead.

’The mission will also fail, but I don’t give a shit about that. Yet even if we want to just Warp away from Verhen, I don’t trust turning my back on that thing even for one second.’

As long as Frost Soul was active, no one could conjure barriers, and the Drake’s tail wasn’t long enough to block an overhead blow. Kazam’s sight turned black. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

’Kazam died to protect us.’ A Titania said. ’His noble sacrifice will be honored. I call dibs on his armor.’
