Supreme Magus

s own senses as he saw the limb regenerate almost as fast as it had been corrupted.

Despite being temporarily crippled, the creature had no openings Lith could exploit.
On top of that, even regenerating so much flesh and bones didn ’t weaken the creature.

’That ’s it! ’ Lith and Solus thought in unison.
The wound ’s healing process had allowed them to understand the nature of their task.

They had failed to notice it before because the other wounds were too small and they were too far away to take a good look at them.
When the Meneos came charging again, Lith was ready for him.

He used earth magic to open a crater below the creature and gravity magic to send them both against the golden energy dome that covered the arena.
When Lith released the second Final Sunset stored inside his tier five magic holding ring, the black flames this time engulfed the giant lion, making it scream in agony.

Meneos were nothing like trolls, golems, or ghouls like Lith and Solus had wrongly assumed.
The giant lion was a plant-animal hybrid that had lost the ability to Awaken due to its fallen state but was still able to draw upon world energy as long as it touched the ground.

Meneos didn ’t need breathing techniques to constantly regenerate their strength and they could recover from any wound simply by extracting the nutrients from the soil.
They were unstoppable predators, but once their weakness was exposed, they became sitting ducks.

’That ’s why the dome is so low and why the only time the monster ’s life force dwindled was during the throw.
Not because this creature is incapable of flight, but because away from the ground it ’s nothing but an overgrown kitten. ’ Lith thought.

”Well, done.
You passed the test. ” Leegaain dispelled the dome and rescued the Meneos.
”Any objection? ”

The members of the Council shook their heads in reply.

”Then Awakened Verhen is hereby a member of the beast faction and Faluel the Hydra will be held responsible for his actions until he learns to behave like a member of our society. ” Leegaain then turned to the monster.

”Thanks for your cooperation, Antor.
I ’ll return you to your family as soon as your wounds heal. ”

”No need to thank me, my Lord. ” The monster bowed to the Guardian.
”If not for you, I ’d be long since dead or still be a slave to my base instincts. ”

”You can talk? ” Lith asked in surprise.

”I ’m no Balor, but not all monsters are mindless brutes. ” Antor replied.
”If I used magic, our fight might have ended differently, but since you couldn ’t take flight, I guess I needed a handicap as well. ”

”Meneos are the only creatures that can use Invigoration without limits.
Their bodies are so attuned with Mogar that they just need to make contact with the ground to replenish their strength to its fullest. ” Leegaain explained.

”They have several limitations to their magical abilities, but I hope that, by studying their condition, I can lift their Fallen state and develop a better technique that Awakened can use to draw world energy… ”

”Yes, it ’s all so very noble of you. ” Inxialot cut him short.
”Where did you find an energy field ring, child? I thought their design was lost to time. ”

”It doesn ’t generate an energy field, just a gravity field. ” Lith rushed to reply in the hope to quell the greed with which the Lich was staring at his finger.

”Oh! ” Inxialot ’s disappointed look made Lith sigh in relief for one full second.
