Supreme Magus novel Chapter 304

The attack had been ruthless, quick, and carefully planned. The barrage of attacks had thrown Lith out of balance, while the spirit magic throw exploited the momentum of his own dodge to slam him against the nearest wall.

The impact sucked the air out of Lith’s lungs, making him lose focus at the same time. Solus had been helpless against the ambush. The attacks had come out from the occupants of the rooms they always passed by on their way back.

She had no reason to be vigilant of them. Solus would rather focus on those hiding behind corners or pillars, but the coast was clear. Or so she believed until the attack came.

Lith was about to lose consciousness, but thanks to the prompt use of fusion magic and the Skinwalker armor, he managed to heal himself at the last moment. Lith stood his ground, assessing his predicament.

Mana sense and Life Vision both told him the situation was desperate. He was surrounded by all sides with no way out. The students weren’t a problem, but the person in front of him was.

Professor Valesa Nalear had already weaved several spells while he was still trying to get up.

"Dodging was dumb of you." A cruel smile distorted her usually kind features.

"Buying that armor was dumb of you. Thanks for making everything easier for me." Her voice was carefree like they were playing a game.

Several fireballs appeared around him, exploding at the same time.

"I really like this spell of yours. I hope you don’t mind I copied it."

Lith took out the Gatekeeper sword from his pocket dimension, imbuing it with enough water magic to instantly conjure an ice coffin around himself while using air magic to protect his ears from the explosions.

’What the heck is she saying? I’m making her job easier? At least she’s dumb enough to use one of my spells. I know exactly how to counter it.’ He thought.

Alas, Nalear wasn’t stupid. As soon as the coffin formed, she unleashed a river of lightning that used Lith’s own barrier to bypass the armor’s protection.

"Another dumb move. Should I think you still have a crush on me?" Her laughter was cruel, oozing mockery.

Lith inwardly cursed at himself. He could only endure the spells by using earth fusion. He was taking damage after damage. Up to that point, he was stuck on the receiving end of the battle.

’Damn, she has silenced the whole area. No matter how much noise she does, no one will hear a thing.’ Solus thought, racking her brain for a solution.

’I think I know why she said you are making her job easier. She can’t kill you because of the academy’s arrays. If she attempts to, they will protect you and send a distress signal!’

Lith had almost forgotten about the academy’s protection, he never needed them. Wind blades shattered the ice coffin. He was tempted to offer them no resistance to activate the protective arrays, but he felt something was wrong.

Nalear was taunting him, she was likely to have taken precautions. Lith parried them with the blade, discovering he was right. They were too weak to inflict him a serious injury, she was aiming to make him faint.

"You know, I can’t believe it took me so long to realize we are cut out of the same mold. Two Awakened ones." Lith ignored her words, distraction tactics were one of his specialties too.

"I call them the ’anti-academy’ weapons. Strong enough to knock you out, but not enough to trigger the arrays. You have no idea how much trial and error I had my little lambs go through before Wanemyre perfected them. _{freёwebnovel.com}
