Chapter 1661
“Yes. Everything you said is true. I’m younger and much poorer than you, yet I’m still better than you.” The Tiamat plunged his hands deep into the ground and when he pulled them back, he held two swords that he used to stop the wind blades in their tracks.

He had conjured them with the elements of creation, earth and light. The former gave them substance while the latter made them as sharp and sturdy as a metal blade. Syrook could see with Life Vision several emerald runes etched on their surface.

Spirit Magic gave them a simple enchantment and even a pseudo core. Dragon Eyes allowed Syrook to understand what Lith had done but not how to replicate it. He was no Forgemaster and the art of Light Mastery was a myth to him.

Lith charged forward, exploiting the blades’ longer reach to compensate for their lack of durability.

Or so he thought until the Black Dragon had its pair of enchanted gloves, Sunder, extend their fingers and then join them into edged weapons. The Adamant cut through the blades made of stone and light first and then deep into Lith’s chest in a single slash.

“Any last words?” Syrook’s grin disappeared as Lith’s Light Mastery generated two hard-light constructs that reconnected the severed ends of the Tiamat’s swords, further extending their range.

While Sunder was still stuck inside his body, Lith lunged at the enemy with his blades, piercing through scales, flesh, and bones until the tip of the swords came out of Syrook’s back.
