Chapter 3809: Cover Fire (Part 2)

The Primordial Flames melted Ruugat’s body and ate at his enchantments. Wherever the white fire passed, the orange aura of Earthly Vault became so thin that even normal spells broke through it.

"Steady!" Vladion ordered.

He and Milea formed a second line with half of the Council, keeping themselves away from the fiery onslaught but close enough to intervene if necessary. Primordial Flames didn’t discriminate between friend and foe.

Any spell the allied forces might cast now would have weakened the white fire and helped the lost city

"Enough!" Ruugat roared, hurt more than in his pride.

Still down, he slammed his head, fists, and knees into the ground like a child throwing a tantrum. A tantrum that split the earth, draining the molten lava, and shook the ground with enough violence to make the soldiers fall.

The earth element imbued in each blow shattered the runes of the arrays that trapped Ruugat, dispelling them. He stood up in fury and activated his most powerful offensive spell, Fountain of Death.

Each one of the many mana crystals on his body conjured, focused, and amplified a Tower Tier five spell into a beam of elemental energy. They were faster than most spells were supposed to be, and their power gathered in a small surface.

One of them was enough to pierce through Dawn’s light shields. Two of them were enough to send a Mage Slayer flying despite his invulnerability to magic. Three of them overpowered the water element conjured by the Fomor and seared their flesh.

Hundreds of them at once were enough to shatter even Silverwing’s Bastion and blast the Awakened elders away like leaves in the wind. Hundreds of people died in an instant, and they would have become thousands if not for Double Edge cutting Ruugat deep from hip to shoulder.

"Don’t forget about me, you bastard." Trusting his allies in general and Dawn in particular to deal with the offense, Lith had stored mostly Bastions in the Cannon Vault.

Resisting the Fountain of Death had consumed two of them already.

"You!" The lost city roared. "After Dawn, another cursed object has turned traitor? How can a lost city stoop low enough to become the lapdog of the lesser races?"

Ruugat didn’t care for answers, accompanying each of his questions with a killing blow. The reach gap between the Engine’s blade and the lost city’s arms was so wide that Ruugat didn’t need weapons.

He shapeshifted his right arm into a spiked mace and his left arm into a shield as he charged at the much smaller Engine.

Solus focused the Eyes and Ears on the lost city, helping Lith to read the mana flow of their opponent and anticipate his moves. Lith barely deflected the mace in time to extend his right arm and cushion the shield bash by pushing himself back.

The leap bought him enough distance to encase Double Edge with the lingering energy from the Bastions and intercept a volley of Tower Tier focused spells.

’The bad news is that those things are nothing like Morok’s elemental rays.’ Solus relayed the important bits revealed by the Eyes’ scan. ’Those three-elemental Tower spells fueled by mana geyser and turned into laser-like beams by the white crystals.

’The reduced size of the Tower Spells increases their destructive power and gives them great piercing ability.’

’And?’ Lith asked as Ruugat renewed his charge.

’And what?’ Solus replied as Lith deflected the salvo of spells preceding the mace.

’The good news!’ Lith said. ’If that’s the bad news, what’s the good news?’

’We are doing fine?’ She shrugged. ’I’m sorry, but this guy has no visible weak point.’

’Define doing-’ The moment Ruugat raised his right foot from the ground to step forward, Syrah cannoned his other leg while infused with golden lightning and the power of one hundred Hati.

’Never mind.’ Ruugat’s attack turned into an awkward short jump on one foot that Lith exploited to impale the lost city on his blade. ’We are doing fine. I forgot we aren’t fighting this alone.’
