Supreme Magus

a weak point coupled with their ability to instantly cast spells.

Once again Lith suffered from his loss of the Gatekeeper. He could see the power cores, he could get close enough to strike at them, but none of his prototype weapons could withstand the mana necessary to pierce through the constructs ’ body.

Both teams were fighting a losing battle, where the enemy would relentlessly move forward while they were forced to step back. The Golems were constantly sending streams of lighting to each other and the nearby walls, creating an electrical curtain that prevented their prey from even thinking of escaping.

”We could Blink to safety, if not for your stupid array! ” Morok said to Neshal once he and Lith were back to back. ”Since I ’m going to die, please be honest with me. Whose side are you really on? ”

”Will you shut the f.u.c.k up? ” Neshal roared while slamming her staff on the ground and releasing the spell she had painstakingly prepared despite all of his yammering. ”Destroy them, now! ”

Neshal knew that, for a mage, keeping more than one array at the ready was impossible and so was casting a second one for another mage without them taking their time to study how the first mage had organized their formation.

This was because in the case that two arrays were to overlap badly, the second array would simply fade into a waste of mana. Since in battle there was rarely the time to cast a second magical formation, Neshal had devised a way to use her own spell as a framework for the following array.

By making use of the runes they had in common, she could shorten the cast time at the expense of the duration of both magical formations. When the Air and the Earth Blocking array overlapped, the Flesh Golems fell face-first on the ground.

Lith struck one of them while Quylla and Morok did the same, yet soon the group was forced to run. The Golems were paralyzed, but far from helpless. They emitted a thick darkness fog from their bodies that almost killed both Quylla and Morok.

Lith had struck down the power core of his mark, so at least one construct was unable to retaliate, leaving them enough space to get to safety. Lith threw his two fallen comrades over his shoulders as they sprinted away from the battle.

Right after darkness magic, the constructs had started to unleash spells in random directions, exploiting the corridor ’s confined space that made any area of effect spell impossible to dodge.

”Can we really afford to leave them alive? ” Lith asked. He and Solus were racking their brains to find a way to destroy the temporarily paralyzed constructs, but to no avail.

Lith had yet to heal his wounds and even once he did, such a powerful layer of darkness magic would have likely killed him even with the Skinwalker armor ’s boosted protection. 

That if he managed to get past the barrage of explosions that were ravaging the corridor.

”No, but killing them will drain the last of my energy. Do you think you can protect all of us until we recover? ” Neshal asked.

”No. ” Lith shook his head.

”Oh, well. I ’ve lived long enough. ” Neshal took what looked like three giant nails out of her dimensional amulet, starting to chant another spell. She was so weak that her breath was ragged and from time to time she had to hold on to her staff to stay up-right.
