Supreme Magus novel Chapter 137

Although his entry appeared overbearing and dramatic to the members of the Talons, Lith was actually quite desperate, and so was Solus. The moment the snarky man had revealed his presence, he knew that he had just went from the frying pan into a volcano.

Whoever those guys were, they had mastered the discipline of spatial magic to the point of making it an art form. Lith could only run or fly, but against an opponent that cold bend space, Blink or Switch it was useless.

His only option was to get in and kill them so fast they would not even understand what had hit them. It was time to test the limits of his new body.

- "First thing first, we need to kill the Warden." Lith thought, not knowing it was his intended target’s head that he was throwing to the nearest enemy, making both heads burst open for the violence of the impact.

"Our only hope is to find him before he casts another array, otherwise we are screwed. The only silver lining is that Warden’s spells are slow a*s."

"You focus on the killing." Solus replied.

"I’ll collect as much intel as I can about our opponents. If I see the slightest hint of Warden magic, I’ll tell you." –

Sadly, the Talons unit was comprised only by veterans, hence as soon Lith beheaded Seephit, it took them barely a second to recover and regroup. The one Lith had killed with an unconventional headbutt, was simply too close to dodge the projectile.

Farion Negal, the General, instantly issued coded orders, that his men were ready to execute. The element of surprise was already lost, and Lith had yet to face nine more people.

"Black two! Red three! White four!" Despite the target was just a kid, Negal employed an extremely aggressive tactic. His creed was that no matter the opponent, never underestimate, never relax, never talk until the kill was confirmed.

The two most skilled melee expert would kill him, o worst case scenario, keep him busy while three mid range specialists would cover for them and stall enough time for the four long ranged spellcaster to put an end to the struggle.

Cursing his bad luck for the umpteenth time since he was born back on Earth, Lith prepared to face his incoming enemies. First, he pushed his mana core to the limit, emitting a light cyan aura that enveloped the space around him with a mana so dense that the air started to crackle.

Then, he infused his body with all the six elements, while casting one of his new spells as fast as he could. The two Talons were a man and a woman, the first using a sword and shield combination, the second twin swords instead.

Bloodlust and madness twisted their features, to the point that not even Yurial would have wasted time pondering if she was hot or not.

- "Beware! All their equipment is on par with the corps! Even their tattoos seem to be enchanted." Solus warned him.

"Just my luck. I need a damn weapon to block enchanted blades, but I still can’t afford the academy’s prices!" –

A chunk of the tattoos disappeared, boosting their speed like a high grade potion and allowing them to reach Lith before he could finish casting. They placed in opposite directions, forcing Lith to create a blind spot in his visual field.

Much to their surprise, he didn’t even try following the movements of them both with his eyes. Instead, he turned his back on the shield man, focusing only on the double wielding woman.

Nonetheless they didn’t lose focus, executing a two pronged attack where each strike was meant to corner the prey, by making the attacks coming from the partner harder to evade. Yet Lith dodged them all flawlessly, even those coming from his back.

The first exchange was more than enough for Negal to understand what was happening, forcing him to violate his creed already.

"What are you doing, you idiots?! That’s Full Guard! Red, white fall back!" To prevent their target from escaping, Negal started weaving the anti air magic array.

For a split second the Talons froze, thinking their General had gone mad.

Full Guard was a common Mage Knight spell, that created a spherical blue aura with a radius of 1.65 meters (5.41 feet) all around the caster.

Thanks to Full Guard, a Mage Knight had no blind spots. Whatever entered the sphere would be detected, allowing him to counter attack and dodge with surgical precision without even looking.

What Negal said didn’t make sense, though. The cyan aura surrounding their target had a radius of over twenty meters (66’), something every one of them knew by experience was impossible.

The spell range, even at tier five, was supposed to cover only the length given by the arm plus weapon length. When their instinct and discipline kicked in, making them obey the order, it was already too late.

Lith had previously ignored the earlier football coach gibberish, but now, violating his creed Negal had exposed himself.

- "Warden at three o’clock!" Solus shouted the moment she recognized the energy pattern. – _{freёwebnovel.com}
