He used the same against me when we fought, but still... to maintain two distinct creations at once... ugh. Why the hell am I even surprised by anything he does anymore?!’ Fenrir groaned inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creation magic was a sophisticated technique that allowed mages to forge beasts or complex weapons from their respective elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the elemental weapons—the spears and swords Grey had been manifesting—were products of this magic, they consumed far less mana than his current feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elemental beasts were not only incredibly taxing on one’s mana reserves, but they also placed an immense strain on the caster’s mind, as they typically required constant mental direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Grey’s case, however, his creations possessed a rudimentary consciousness of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only needed to provide a single command regarding their target, and they would handle the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, these beasts possessed power that often rivaled or exceeded their user’s base strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion stared at the approaching fireball as if it were a repulsive object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rotating his scythes clockwise with a deepenining scowl, he hurled the weapon forward, aiming to tear through the spell the same way he had dispersed Noir’s and Grey’s previous fireballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the bladed Ki scythe struck the inferno, the weapon disintegrated into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames continued onward, stunning Orion to no end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the true magnitude of the heat approaching him, he instantly wrapped himself in a layer of visible Ki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a powerful thrust of his palms, Ki waves surged forward to meet the fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world seemed to freeze for a moment as the two forces collided in the center of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither side was able to overpower the other for a split second, until Salamander’s fireball pressed further, disintegrating the tidal wave into a massive cloud of scalding steam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for the beast, Orion was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball crashed into the ground and slammed into the coliseum wall, reducing the stone to charred rubble almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it! The kid keeps pulling out techniques right out of his ass. What kind of a monster is he?!’ Orion clicked his tongue inwardly in a fit of rising anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screeeeech—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head sharply to the side, he found Kaiser already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one violent flap of its ethereal wings, a thousand wind swords burst forth with deadly velocity, rocketing towards the warrior in a jagged cloud of steel-colored air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creating another pair of Ki scythes in his grasp, Orion dashed forward, clashing with the thousand weapons and felling them from the sky like autumn leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was struggling significantly due to their immense numbers and the sheer weight of the magic behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t finding it easy to shatter them like brittle glass anymore—not the way he had dismantled Grey’s standard wind blades earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tchaaak—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swords began finding openings, biting into his shoulders, piercing his legs, and scratching his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike drew fresh blood from his body, yet he kept pushing through the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed he demonstrated was far beyond any normal human’s ability, yet he was still being systematically whittled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though none of the wounds were immediately fatal, he was taking genuine damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if all the injuries he had dealt Grey were now being repaid to him threefold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with a fierce, desperate spin of the Ki scythes in his hands, a surge of yellow energy shot forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wave collided with the remaining blades, shattering the last of the wind-forged swords into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screeeeech—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior heard a second, more fiery scream from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly twirled around, his scythe speeding towards the incoming Salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just before the blow connected, an ashen portal opened behind the dragon, swallowing the beast whole before snapping shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion’s scythe struck only empty air, tearing a deep, jagged gouge in the ground instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantaneously, another portal opened directly behind the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalos burst forth from the rift with terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the warrior could reposition his weight or bring his weapons to bear, the gargoyle’s greatsword bashed into his face with the force of a speeding train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sent sliding backward, his vision swimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the gargoyle wasn’t finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalos rocketed forward with immense momentum, smashing a stone fist into the man’s abdomen with such tremendous force that Orion was hammered instantly into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ten-metre-wide crater exploded into existence beneath his body, followed almost immediately by a fountain of crimson blood shooting from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1144,"2026-06-05T15:21:41.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","00299b446882c48c4e42b9600007d8fa96948e7a6c238fab0eeb01984403a0d6","magus-supremacy-chapter-850","magus-supremacy-chapter-848",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
