‘My Demons can act the same way as my auxiliary cores, weaving spells in my stead and providing me with all the magic I need the moment I need it. The problem is that our normal chains aren’t this strong. I must find a way to trigger this phenomenon on my own.’ Lith thought.
Before the Verendi Council representatives could understand what was happening, six new black pillars appeared and all of the Master’s chosen but Tezka joined the fray.
Nelia the Griffon and Eycos the Garuda were already in their Divine Beast form, using the Life Maelstrom equivalent of Primordial Flames, Chain Maelstrom.
They each emptied their mana organ in one go, using half of the Life Maelstrom it stored to empower themselves and throwing the remaining half at the other in the form of a huge bolt of silver lightning.
The incoming mass of Life Maelstrom caused no harm to the two Eldritches. On the contrary, the silver lightning was absorbed and amplified by the Life Maelstrom already coursing through their bodies.
Nelia and Eycos channeled the energy they had exchanged into their mana organs, filling them again.
The Life Maelstrom enhanced not only their abilities, but also the amount of world energy they could store inside their bodies. When a split second later they shoot another bolt of lightning at each other, it was bigger and stronger than the original.
The sparks between the two Divine Beasts grew in intensity with each cycle. The Life Maelstrom they exchanged soon filled even their boosted mana organs to the brim until they couldn’t contain it anymore.
At that point, the Garuda and the Griffon flooded the battlefield with Chain Maelstrom, filling their allies with new energy and frying their enemies by overloading their cores.
Hushar the Leviathan and Cyare the Fenrir used their Doom Tide ability to conjure the world energy from their surroundings, enriching the area more than a mana geyser.
At the same time, they used Elemental Flow to conjure a series of arrays that neutralized the spells restricting their allies and healed their wounds.
‘Nandi, do your thing on Solus as well!’ Bytra said and the Minotaur complied.
He had no idea what good could world energy do to a regular human, but in his frenzied state, there was no space for doubts, only for battle. The violet gems on the forehead and the arms of the Minotaur-Orc hybrid turned white as he harnessed the energy that Hushar and Cyare had hoarded.
The world energy flooded Bytra, Zoreth, and Theseus with the same effects of Invigoration. Their wounds closed immediately and their black cores quickly returned to their peak condition.
One of Nandi’s tendrils reached Solus as well, and its effects were amazing.
Not only did she completely recover her physical and magical strength, but they also unlocked all of the tower’s abilities. If usually absorbing world energy in her tower form was akin to taking bites of a meal and then digesting it, what she received from Nandi was an IV.
She didn’t have to absorb and process the world energy, it willingly offered itself to her and became a part of her body in the space of seconds. She accessed the Heart of the tower, conjuring the Immortal Body array to heal Dolgus the White Griffon in an instant.
Solus stored her Sage Staff in the Armory, sharing its effects with Lith and his Demons. Now capable of absorbing huge amounts of world energy via their Abomination Touch, the wounded Demons healed and the vanquished ones returned.
