Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3819

Chapter 3819: The Power of the Elements (Part 2)

Lith’s remaining feathered wing burst with silver light that spread inside and outside his body, using it as a scaffold. The light element flooded every vein, organ, bone, and muscle, forming layers upon layers of small constructs that stacked and connected with each other.

When Ruugat lunged at the Engine again, the difference in mass between them had decreased to the point that the lost city could no longer overpower his smaller opponent. Lith grabbed the harpoons’ heads and dug his taloned feet into the ground.

He was pushed back by dozens of meters, and his talons dug deep trenches, but Ruugat failed to close the distance between them.

"What is this?" The lost city asked as he shapeshifted the harpoons into hands to get hold of his opponent. "What’s happening?"

"Beats me, so I’ll beat you to make things even!" Dawn merged all the constructs conjured by Morning Star into one and used it to impale Ruugat from behind.

Even with the Tower Tier Light Mastery spells propelling the spinning drill forward, it wasn’t enough to push it through the granite and Adamant that comprised Ruugat’s massive chest.

That was Vladion’s job.

"Leave this to me and keep your distance! If something happens to you, we’re finished." The First Vampire consumed another substantial chunk of the life force store in his full-red blood core, increasing his mass beyond that of an Elder Divine Beast.

He bodily rammed into the heel of the spinning drill, thrusting the construct past the metal and rock armor and adjusting the hard-light drill’s trajectory so that it released Ragnarök from Ruugat’s clutches.

’I’m sorry, Lith, I don’t know what to do.’ Ryla asked while the Engine and the lost city were locked in a contest of strength that the tower was bound to lose. ’I can only channel one element at a time!’

Light gave the Tiamat extra mass, but no strength and no durability aside from what was needed not to crumble under his own enhanced weight.

’Don’t worry, Ryla.’ Lith replied as his fingers broke and twisted under Ruugat’s grip. ’We got this. We are not fighting alone.’

Dawn’s construct and Vladion’s push dealt enough damage to draw the lost city’s attention. Ruugat’s grip loosened, and Lith’s tightened.

’Now!’ He let go of the light element and conjured the power of air, increasing the tower’s abilities threefold.

On his cue, Solus released the two Silverwing’s Annihilations in the Cannon Vault and emitted them through the Engine’s Hands.

The anti-Guardian spells hit the lost city’s limbs from point-blank and dug their way through barriers, enchanted metal, and stone. Directed contact meant that Ruugat didn’t have the time to adjust the output of Earthly Vault.

Every meter the Annihilations crossed was a meter the rest of the spell traversed unimpeded, reaching the next block with its strength intact. On top of that, Vladion and Dawn kept hammering Ruugat’s back while Lith attacked from the front.

All the while the armies of the allied races attacked from every other side.

Atop a mana geyser hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, at the same time.

"What’s that?" From the safety of her hut and free to ignore the chaos of battle and see past the sea of dust raised by the armies, Baba Yaga pointed at the center of Lith’s chest, where Solus’ light shone.

’How did you do that? How is this possible?’ Ryla asked, feeling weirder by the second.

’There’s no time for explanations.’ Solus felt even weirder but set all her questions aside for later. ’Focus on the fight!’
