Supreme Magus novel Chapter 305

Nalear had been on guard the whole time. Life Vision had allowed her to notice how the ring was full of energies since day one.

She used her blade to pin Solus to the wall and the students as human shields against her spells. They were badly hurt, but thanks to their uniforms there wasn’t much tier two spells could do.

Solus’s yellow core limited her greatly.

"What a marvelous object." Nalear blocked Solus with spirit magic.

"It’s not only capable to store the user’s mana but also to move on its own? It will be an excellent addition to my collection." Solus could only curse her bad luck. If only Lith’s and her energies weren’t as one, she could have hurt him enough to activate the array and save him.

When Nalear tried to store Solus inside her dimensional amulet, she was in for another surprise. The amulet didn’t respond and Solus kept floating in mid air.

"It’s impossible! Is this thing really alive? Good thing I’m always prepared." She took out a mystical wooden box out of her dimensional amulet. It was engraved with silver runes of power. A blue mana crystal the size of a tennis ball was embedded on its lid.

When Nalear opened it, it generated strings of blue energy that trapped Solus, dragging her inside the box before it closed on itself. She attempted to shapeshift multiple times, but the strings relentlessly followed her, adapting to her every change.

The blue gemstone powered up the runes, sealing its content from the outside world.

The bond between Lith and Solus was broken. The backlash gave Solus a seizure while Lith suddenly woke up, roaring like a wounded beast.

The killing intent he released made two of the students faint. The spirit magic blast he generated made everyone but Nalear fly against a wall and lose consciousness. She sneered at his swan’s song, hitting him on the head with the leather club again and again.

The club was another enchanted item she had prepared. It was made so that it would inflict a lot of pain but no harm, draining the victim of their vitality.

What she didn’t expect was for Lith’s mouth to suddenly open like a maw, filled with fangs instead of teeth. The moment her hand was close enough, he bit her deeply. The fangs dug into her flesh until they reached the bones while seven eyes stared at her with hatred.

Nalear ignored the pain, passing the club to the free hand, resuming the beating. The eyes burned bright in defiance, refusing to let go. The maw was almost closed when the head fell limp again. Even fury had its limits.

"What the f*ck are you?" Nalear cursed while using Invigoration to close her wounds and restore her strength. It took her less than a minute to heal the injured students and replenish their life forces with Invigoration.

They had spent no mana, so they were still in their peak condition.

"Here are your orders, my little lambs. These chains are strong enough to hold an angry Byk, but what’s even more important it’s their color." She pointed at the mystical aura surrounding the shackles and the chains both.

"When it’s red it means Lith is unconscious. When it turns green, it means he is awake. As soon as it happens, you have to stab him with these knives."

She handed them the anti-academy knives.

"Don’t stop until it turns red again. Wait for my signal. Only then you can kill him. Cut his head and pierce his heart. Just to be safe." The five students nodded in unison.

"After you are done with him, return to your rooms and wait further instructions. Tomorrow is the big day."

The next morning, Phloria hummed all the time while she was walking to pick Lith up for their morning stroll before breakfast. She wore the golden lily pendant over her uniform. It didn’t matter to her that wearing an early present was bad luck, Phloria was too happy to care about silly superstitions.
