Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1239

Chapter 1239 - Mother of Wrath (Part 1)

The idea of losing her body again the moment the battle was over tore Solus’s heart apart. Yet instead of crying, she used Light Mastery to create a hologram of her real self down to the last detail that would preserve that memory forever.

It took Solus several hours of practice and the help of the others to improve her hand to eye coordination. Over time, her body gained a mass superior to that of any human and the muscle memory from her previous life returned.

It meant that the tower had preserved everything she needed to regain all she had lost, but it didn’t have enough juice to restore so much in the little time they had left. A little before the twenty-four hours that Aren had given them ran out, Lith called the beasts representative with the Council amulet.

"Are you saying that you’ve found a way to disrupt the Forbidden Sun?" The Jǫrmungrandr could barely contain his surprise and excitement.

"Yes. The key lies in the Light Torch department." Lith used the amulet to share with Aren the schematics of both the building and its arrays. "If completely destroyed, recharging the Forbidden Sun will become impossible long enough to make the city die on its own.

"Kolga isn’t a cursed object. The mana geyser fuels the water dome and its defenses, but that’s it. Without the sacrifices keeping the light and darkness amount stored inside the Forbidden Sun in check, the magic that empowers the city is likely to backfire.

"If darkness runs out first, the excess of light element might turn the inhabitants of Kolga into mindless trolls while if the Forbidden Sun lacks light, the crops will die and the regenerative abilities will disappear. Either way, the city will be an easy prey." Lith said.

Aren and the other members of Jiera’s Council discussed for a while before nodding in approval.

"Thanks for your help. All of you have been an invaluable asset to our people. If only we had someone of Lord Leegaain’s caliber on this side of the ocean, maybe we would have solved this issue centuries ago." Aren said with a sigh while looking at Fenagar, who snorted in reply.

The Jǫrmungrandr had many things to say about his ancestor and none of them was kind. Yet arguing with a Guardian would have brought him nothing but trouble so he let it slide.

"I’ll immediately arrange for your retrieval. You’ve done more than enough and you deserve some rest in Reghia. I’ll make sure that you are properly compensated for your efforts."

"Thanks for your offer, but I disagree." Lith shook his head, putting Solus’s plan into action. "We are the only ones who have been inside the Light Torch. By combining our powers, we can create a Warp Steps that can lead you inside the building.

"This way, the attack force will avoid the external and internal defense mechanisms, dealing the biggest damage in the shortest possible time before the Forbidden Sun cripples their powers."

The greed in the eyes of the Council Members told him that he had almost got them where he wanted. Inside the city but away from the tower where Solus would face the King. After all, only an idiot would have passed up the opportunity of an inside job.

A surprise attack at the heart of the enemy base was something almost too good to be true.
