Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622 - Life And Death (Part 4)

Lith and Solus had no such problem since they had the same energy signature, but for any other mage, it was the only way they had to craft powerful artifacts with the help of one or more colleagues.

It was also how the fake mages of the Kingdom had enchanted the six great Academies and how Inxialot's Adamant sphere had been capable of empowering the golems back in Urgamakka.

The sphere itself was a teaching tool, showing to whoever was smart enough to understand its workings how to properly arrange different pseudo cores and how to align their common runes.

Lith had decided to start off with ten pseudo cores while Solus would add five more, but he soon noticed that they needed a change of plans. The strain from keeping the world energy in the circle and outside the staff already took too much of her focus.

Any more and she would not be capable of participating in the Forgemastering process.

'Either you needed to rest more after treating the crystals or we need to find a new way to handle the Forgemastering circle. Something similar happened when we enchanted the Davross, but it was nothing like this.

'I wonder if it's because of the altered crystals or of the Yggdrasill wood. Either way, this is just an experiment. We have already learned a lot, ten pseudo cores are enough.' He said via their mind link.

'Thanks.' Solus replied while conjuring the Hands of Menadion to get a better grip on the world energy. 'Damn, I hate to use raw strength rather than finesse. It feels like I'm kicking down a door because I'm too dumb to find the handle.

'Luckily, I had Friya and Tista wear the Eyes while we work so that once we are done, I can understand what we are doing wrong.'

The magical gemstones of the Hands allowed her to regain full control over the Forgemastering circle, stopping the Yggdrasil branch from leeching any more world energy.

Meanwhile, Lith used fake magic, true magic, and body casting at the same time to conjure the ten pseudo cores as quickly as he could. Weaving so many powerful enchantments and keeping them unstable on purpose took a great toll on him.

On top of that, he couldn't start crafting the power core until all of its pieces were ready and properly aligned. Using three casting methods at once was exhausting, but weaving the pseudo cores slowly would require even more energy.

Also, as soon as he completed the power core, it would remain stable long enough for Lith to regain his strength with Abyssal Gaze before injecting it inside the Yggdrasill branch.

Witch each pseudo core that Lith weaved, the burden on his focus grew as the unstable rune patters tried to deform in order to fill the gaps. Keeping them from collapsing ate his mana by the second, making him haste even more.

Once all ten pseudo cores were ready, he had them turn into a series of concentric spheres, each one slightly smaller than the next and bigger than the previous, aligning them so that the common runes filled the gaps.

The moment he was done, the pseudo cores naturally merged into a power core, needing Lith's guiding hand solely to nudge them from time to time. The different spells started to work in harmony, akin to several musicians that had played each a different tune before becoming part of an orchestra.

The final result was bigger than the sum of its single parts, creating a radiant sphere of white energy.

'Are you ready for the final step?' Lith hit the now charged Forge with his hammer, retrieving the accumulated power and starting a new cycle. _{freēwebnovel.com}
