Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2187

Every centimeter of the rings was covered in blue, red, silver, and white runes. A massive pillar of world energy came from below, focused to the point that it was visible to the naked eye without the need for mystical senses.

The power core gorged on the energy, turning it into mana that was sent to the rings to be amplified before being redirected where needed. The Headmaster's office was both the beating heart and the weak point of the academy.

'Order and Chaos. That thing holds so much power that if we dared to put a dent in it, the map of the Griffon Kingdom and the Gorgon Empire would be redrawn.' Vladion said.

'Who cares about that.' Lith had Solus take her Eyes form and focus solely on the power core. 'What are those runes? Blue are the Forgemastering ones any decent mage knows.

'Red are dimensional runes, probably connected with the internal and external Warp system of the academy. I bet that's also the way those who are made immortal by the academy are brought back here to rebuild their bodies.

'What are the silver and the white ones, though?'

'No clue.' The Firstborn was tempted to step forward and use Bloodborne, his breathing technique to study such a marvel of magic, but he was afraid that any interaction might give away their presence.

'Let me see.' Kalla activated her own Eyes of Menadion, starting the scan as well.

The original Eyes and those of the tower resonated and so did their power cores. Lith and Solus could feel the burden on their minds being lessened as the two artifacts split the workload.

The two Eyes exchanged the information they acquired, avoiding redundant scans and sharing their respective databases to shorten the time that a full scan of such a complex artifact required.

Lith also took out Solus' Sage staff from their pocket dimension, using its ability to focus and sharpen the mind of its master in order to hasten things even further.

'Too bad that my Eyes have no correlation to my mind or I could benefit from the Staff as well.' Kalla sighed in envy.

Her artifact was at the top of its game, but between the lack of a mind link and the outdated runes, it would take her a long time to read the full report. The tower's Eyes were still incomplete and their use burdened both Lith's and Solus' mind.

On the other hand, however, the mind link between the tower and Solus allowed her to convert the data collected into instant knowledge. On top of that, the tower's Eyes were constantly being upgraded, becoming more powerful as Solus learned more about magic and the tower regained its prowess.

'Okay. I have no idea what the silver runes are. There is no match for them in the Eyes' database so we'll have to wait for the scan to be complete.' Kalla said. 'I do know what the white runes are, though.

'They are made out of perfectly stabilized Decay.'

'What?' The other three said in unison.

'That's impossible. Cursed elements can't be stabilized, can't be used along other Cursed elements, and can't do anything but destroy.' Lith said, taking the words out of everyone's mind.

'What do you think Forbidden Magic is for?' Kalla scoffed at their naivety. 'Arthan was a true genius and this explains everything.'

'Genius, maybe. Mad, sure. Also, it explains nothing and so do you!' Vladion said, more annoyed than ever at the Wight.
