Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2004

Chapter 2004 Partial Cores (Part 2)

It was something that she could achieve only thanks to her eidetic memory and her mastery over controlling several different spells at the same time. On the other hand, her creation was far from finished.

To keep the partial core stable despite the interferences between the single pseudo cores, the partial core she had created had been imbued with as little energy as possible.

Solus now had to slowly pour mana into the partial core, making sure that it was distributed evenly between the single pseudo cores while also keeping the increasing repulsive effects between them in check as well.

Necro Forge was simpler to use but could only be used by a powerful Forgemaster. Bloom Forge, instead, relied on finesse and precision to achieve the same results but with twice the effort.

'What the fuck?' Solus allowed herself a moment of distraction to point at Lith what was happening on the other side of the room.

Faluel knew about the Eyes of Menadion and had no intention of sharing with Lith and Solus the techniques of her bloodline legacy. Yet even without them, her ability as a Forgemaster left them in awe.

The Hydra weaved the pseudo cores in the form of string of runes as if they were simple spells, removing what she didn't need during the final step. By keeping the pseudo cores in such a form, their energy was spread thin and the repulsive effects between them kept to a minimum.

Friya used a similar approach, but compared to Faluel her movements were clumsy and more than one string of runes faded due to a single moment of distraction, forcing her to waste time and mana to weave them again from scratch.

The method required less focus compared to Bloom Forge and less power than Necro Forge, but it also required surgical precision and great spatial awareness. The runes had to be kept in a delicate balance that Faluel adjusted every time she added a new pseudo core.

The position of every single rune in the three dimensions had to be kept in line with those of the pseudo core it belonged to and with those it would become a part of.

Her method looked simple at first, but after a few minutes the air above Faluel's head was filled with so many runes that even Solus had trouble recognizing the single strings and visualizing how they needed to be folded to become pseudo cores.

'If not for Friya performing it as well, I would think this technique is something exclusive to the seven heads of the Hydras.' Lith thought. 'Any chance you can record it with the Eyes to study it later?'

'Way ahead of you.' Solus replied. 'The problem is that it's not even a technique, it's something you already achieved the day Faluel explained us the secret of Awakened Forgemastery.

'Yet dismantling and rearranging one single core like you did is a cake walk. Doing it with so many cores at the same time while also destabilizing them on purpose gives me a headache just thinking about it.'

They would have loved to keep admiring the Hydra at work, but even those brief moments of distraction had slowed down their own work and compromised the integrity of their respective partial cores.

"My eyes are down here." Faluel said with a chuckle after noticing their gaze.

A final wave of her hand made the multiple strings of runes form a golden sphere.

Each enchantment departed from the runes it had in common with the others so that while forming their respective pseudo core, the different strings would naturally rearrange themselves to minimize the repulsive effects.

'That's amazing!' Lith thought. 'She used Necro Forge in a way that allowed her final product to find the same perfect disposition of the runes that Solus will obtain with Bloom Forge.'

'Less gawking, more working!' Solus warned him as his partial core started to crumble.
