Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3817

Chapter 3817: Just One Person (Part 2)

The allied forces had never stopped raining powerful spells upon the lost city, but now each spell left a deep mark on Ruugat’s stone body.

The last Fountain of Death had consumed much of his energy reserves, and, in his current state, Earthly Vault had lost part of its effectiveness. The white flames were the natural counter to earth-based abilities, and they burned at Ruugat’s protective aura, weakening it further.

Tier five spells were supposed to blow open castles and destroy entire city blocks, but, until that moment, they had been ineffective against Ruugat’s sheer size and the impregnable defense of Earthly Vault.

Without it, every Raging Sun opened a molten crater. Every magical formation bent the metal and cracked the black stones that formed the lost city’s body. For the first time since the beginning of the fight, the attackers hurt Ruugat faster than he could repair himself.

‘I can still do it. I just need to get rid of either the Bright Day or-‘ The resonance effect spread throughout the battlefield, cutting the lost city short.

Tista’s wings blazed with elemental power, and her red eye emitted a burst of red fire that joined the violet one erupting from her mouth.

The wings of Balors and Fomors turned red as well, each of them releasing a pillar of red fire from their eyes instead of raw elemental power like they were supposed to. Balors and Fomors had no idea what they were doing or how.

They let the song that reached them via the world energy carry them away and guide their actions without trying to resist. They didn’t know what the melody was either, only that it felt right.

The resonance washed over Morok once again, and this time it found him ready. A red streak appeared on his wings, right beside the blue one, and he too released a pillar of red fire.

Unlike Balors and Fomors, however, it came out of his whole body. His red eye was the focus point, but each one of his scales ignited the world energy and produced more red fire.

Hundreds of pillars of mystical fire joined the Primordial Flames while they were still growing after absorbing Tista’s elemental flames. The resulting blast of white fire engulfed Ruugat from head to toe, striking him with such force that it pushed him back.

The furrow formed by the shift was barely visible, but moving something the size of a lost city even by one meter was a feat that only the Guardians could achieve.

Atop a mana geyser hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, at the same time.

“Marvelous!” Baba Yaga stopped fighting to break free from Zagran’s hold and stared at the fight in awe. “Is that the hidden power of humans? Their potential?”

“I don’t know.” The Guardian of Might shrugged. “I’m not a human and have no idea what they can achieve. Neither do they, for that matter. Since its birth, the human race has wasted its time trying to imitate the gifts of the other races with Forbidden Magic instead of cultivating its own.

“What I know is that this is the reason I stopped you earlier. This is why I couldn’t allow you to step in and ruin everything for everyone.”

“You knew?” Baba Yaga moved her eyes from the surveillance mirror to the Guardian nonstop. “You knew that this would happen? How?”

She pointed at the flaming wings of the evolved humans and the subtle adjustments in the life forces that kept spreading unseen throughout the battlefield.

The image on the surveillance mirror changed again. Reverted orcs rushed through the files of wounded, using their mana crystals to bestow upon the non-Awakened effects similar to Invigoration. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
