Chapter 481 No one wanted to believe their own eyes, but reality was a cruel mistress and couldn’t care less for their wishes. Thrud had used her tier five Crystal Griffon spell to encase herself in a thick layer of ice which she had constantly regenerated to protect herself from the Raging Sun spell.

Dark Star and Death Zone had messed up her plan, but her artifacts had managed to keep her alive so that her White Griffon spell was now bringing her body back to its peak condition.

’She has depleted about half of her life force and mana flow.’ Solus hoped that, by giving Lith a steady flow of information, he could find a way out of that nightmare. It was the only thought that kept the fear that was gripping her heart at bay.

Lith was honored by her trust, but no matter how many scenarios his brain managed to play, they all ended up in defeat.

’It’s not the first time I face a superior opponent, but I always managed to exploit my advantages to came out victorious. Against Nalear I had allies. Against Treius and his cursed object, I used their parasitic nature against them.

’Thrud is perfect. No visible weakness aside her ego and she hasn’t activated her vortex even once. How long does it take to bring that damn barrier downr?’ Lith cursed while running more and more simulations with Solus’s help.

Both Solus’s mana sense and Kilian’s Third Eye revealed how close the array surrounding The Mad Queen’s hideout was to crumble. Alas, “close” only works if someone is playing bowls or throwing a grenade.
