Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3808

Chapter 3808: Cover Fire (Part 1)

Ryla took place on the Engine’s forehead, right below its stone surface. She unfurled her wings and limbs wide so that she was equidistant from Lith’s six eyes, and the tower connected to her own.

’Tiamat, on!’ Solus said as the Prime Engine shifted from grey to black and the power of the elements burst out of its seven eyes.

’Solus, this is a serious matter.’ Lith flipped in mid-air, switching to a feet-first fall as he started to spin on himself.

’I know, but I always wanted to say that, and who knows when I’ll have another opportunity like this.’ She replied.

’Guys, I don’t think it’s working.’ Ryla released her golden lightning, but there wasn’t enough to empower something as complex and big as the tower.

’Don’t worry, I just need to add the final touch.’ Lith replied.

While training with Ryla to control and discover the power of his elemental eyes, Lith had learned how to amplify and prolong the effects of her abilities, but never to produce them on his own.

Yet that was enough for his purposes, especially after he had confirmed a theory about the tower.

The moment he consumed the air element stored in the Elemental Storage and infused it into the tower, the golden lightning produced by Ryla’s yellow eye was collected and focused into Lith’s and then enhanced by the Davross-Adamant alloy in the Crucible.

Gilded streams of electricity arched across the Engine’s surface as if it were made of Davross instead of stone, increasing its prowess by threefold.

’This is amazing!’ Ryla said via the mind link. ’Our species are truly similar. Thank you for allowing me to fight by your side.’

’No, thank you, Ryla.’ Solus replied, feeling guilty for the deception.

The reasons for which Lith and Solus had brought the Fomor with them were loosely connected to their kindship. Ryla wanted to stand with the people of Zelex at all costs, and Garrik wanted her to be safe.

Lith had promised the young Tyrant-Fomor hybrid that he would bring his mother home alive and wanted to keep his word. Inside the Engine, Ryla would be safe while having the satisfaction of taking part in the battle.

Also, with the excuse of Lith’s unknown bloodline abilities synergizing with Ryla’s eyes, he would have a plausible excuse to bring out the potential of the Prime Engine without anyone suspecting anything.

"What do you mean, you agree?" Ruugat growled. "How dare you mock me, Vampire?"

The lost city swung his massive fists with incredible speed for something that size. Vladion dodged the blows, but the air pressure they generated was enough to push him back by dozens of meters.

Dawn relentlessly charged with her jousting lances, ramming into Ruugat’s body whenever the allied forces managed to stop his movements.

Gravity arrays weighed on his knees, earth arrays trapped his feet, and multi-elemental arrays formed a net around the remains of the Detemer fortress, increasing the pressure on Ruugat whenever he returned to the center of the mana geyser.

"It’s not that hard. I just have to breathe out air and modulate it in my throat." The First Vampire replied. "You know what I love about you? You’ve made a mess of my home, but everything you’ve stolen is still here.

"Once I crush you beneath my heel, I’ll take everything back and more. You collected and refined my treasures for me. It’s a gift that I’m glad to accept."
