Supreme Magus Chapter 3107 Burnt Out (Part 1)

3107 Burnt Out (Part 1)

The souls of the dead tried to access Lith's mana and mastery over magic, but those notions were safely guarded and beyond the reach of the invaders.

"So you admit it!" Valtak roared, coalescing the Primordial Flas into a gigantic snake that coiled around the Void Demon Dragon, trapping him. "Lith is just your first victim. How many people are you willing to sacrifice in order to prolong your existence?"

"Enough!" The voices said, the word both their answer and a threat.

As more and more blue flas poured out of Lith's body, the souls managed to shape the blue flas into a ring of fire that rapidly expanded and cut the snake into bits, freeing themselves from its snare.

Yet Valtak's Primordial Flas weren't lost. The Father of Fire recalled every bit of the fire construct and reshaped them into a fiery armor, but he knew things weren't going well.

"Get ready to run away, Tista!" He yelled. "Origin Flas are sparked by life force and a living being only has a finite amount. Blue flas, instead, are sparked by the death energy carried by the souls pouring out of the cracks in Lith's life force.

"The longer the door remains open, the greater the risk of Lith being consud by the blue flas and we with him becos. I don't know if I can win, but at least I can keep those bastards from winning."

A cold shiver ran down the Hekate's spine.

She had done everything she could, but nothing seed to work against the blue flas afflicting Elisya and it was only a matter of ti before the baby girl lost control over them.

Until less than a minute ago, Tista had believed Valtak to be invincible. The Elder Wyrm always exuded an unparalleled aura of might and his knowledge seed endless. Yet not even he could win against the ravages of ti.

Since the beginning of the fight, the Void Demon Dragon looked like an incandescent light bulb that becos brighter as it stays on. The Fire Dragon, instead, was akin to a candle at the end of its wick, its light growing dimr as it consud the final drops of wax.

'Valtak can't use magic.' She thought. 'The blue flas would consu his spells and even if he manages to hit Lith, he would achieve nothing. You can't harm souls with magic.'

"No way! Even if I run, what about Elysia?" Tista cursed her bad luck and took out her communication amulet, alerting Solus. "Co here as fast as you can. We are in the usual spot!"

Before Solus could ask a single question, a deafening roar shook the Valley of Life and forced the Father of Fire to take a step back.

The souls had gained enough control over Lith's body to not only keep producing blue flas against his will but also to manipulate them freely. They compressed the remaining blue fla in the form of a spinning drill and shot it forward.

The souls had Valtak and Tista lined up so that if one dodged the drill, the other would still be hit. The blue flas were no faster than regular Origin Flas but the Fire Dragon refused to budge.

'I've caused this and I won't put Tista's and the babies' lives at risk just to save myself. I have no idea if those flas have more hidden abilities and I'll be damned before I let hatchlings get hurt on my watch!'

The Father of Fire roared back, stopping the shockwave and unleashing the Primordial Flas he had accumulated over his body.

The white fire converged in front of the blue drill, smothering its power yet failing to stop it. The Elder Wyrm flapped his mighty wings, moving himself out of harm's way and pushing Tista to safety with the re air pressure he generated.

At the sa ti, he hurled a jet stream of Primordial Flas the size of an apartnt building at the Void Demon Dragon.

The souls cursed, stopping the attack and recalling enough of the blue flas to survive. The backside of the drill retreated while the frontside faded but not before reaching Valtak and burning the right side of his body.

The Elder Wyrm writhed in agony as the mbrane of his right wing burned and he plunged to the ground with a thud.

The souls had dealt the first blow.

Valtak had the strength to smother the blue flas before they consud him, but not enough to stand up.

"Go away, hatchling." He said amid pants, his long beard burned black and short. "I'm sorry that my final lesson to you had to be in stupidity and pain. Save the babies. They have no one else who can protect them."

Elysia cried seeing the old and kind Wyrm suffer. She just wanted her father back. She just wanted to go ho. She was doing her best to help Lith but it wasn't enough. It was never enough.

Valeron too cried, but he had no blood bond with Lith. The Bahamut's bloodline abilities had nothing to do with the Tiamat's but he still had them and chose to fight as he could.

"Papa! Help!" A burst of silver lightning ca out of the baby boy and flooded the Father of Fire, amplifying what was left of his strength tenfold.

"Thank you, little one." The Elder Wyrm rose to his feet. "With this, I can hold a bit long-"

A burst of fire charged forward and not from the Void Demon Dragon. The souls were still dealing with the white fire with the little blue flas they had left.

Valeron breathed his bright orange Origin Flas and imbued them with what Life Maelstrom he had left, turning them into Life Flas.

They ca in too fast and surprise froze Valtak who took them in full.

"By the Father of All Dragons!" Instead of consuming him, the Golden Flas healed the Fire Dragon's wounds.

The burned scales beca ruby red, the broken wing was whole again, and his life force was renewed. If the Dread Flas split the six elents from each other, turning them into destructive cursed elents, the Life Flas exalted and amplified each elent.

Light restored Valtak, darkness purged the blue flas, water and earth filled his body with nutrients, while fire and air gave him strength and speed. On top of that, Life Flas still burned at everything like Origin Flas would.

Yet instead of turning their prey into more destructive power, the golden flas converted what they burned into life force and injected it into the Father of Fire. The ground, magma, and rocks were still consud but their essence was passed on.

"Thanks, little ones." Valtak opened and closed his fists, feeling stronger than he had been in millennia. "I won't waste the opportunity you have given ."

Elysia kept weakening the Void Demon Dragon while Valeron the Second had given Valtak a second wind.

'Once the effect of these flas and the Life Maelstrom runs out, I'll be back to being an old fossil. I have to put everything I have in the next attack.' He thought while a few kiloters away from the fight, the tower Warped to the nearest mana geyser.
