2462 Much Worse (Part 2)

They came as close as they could before blowing themselves up as well.

Feeling her power core threatened, the cursed glaive released the tier five spell, Frozen Night. Black snow appeared from the merging of water and darkness magic, smothering the flames and allegedly countering the darkness and heat that animated the Origin Demons.

Alas, their armors were white as well, but not from the ice. The spell froze the silvery parts of the metal but was repelled whenever it met the streaks. The light of the flames reflected on the impossible armor, producing a golden glimpse.

"Gold-veined white marble?" Stargazer said in astonishment. "Sure, it's hard and magic resistant, but it can't be used to forge weapons, let alone mix it with metals. It's impossible!"

"So says you." Valia was back, this time her Adamant equipment was fully coated in gold-veined white marble, resisting both the Davross' edge and the might of the spells. "As I said, my master is worse than the Golden Griffon, remember?"

The black tides coming from the stumps were turning white, each Demon became more difficult to banish with each passing second and the time before their return decreased as the colossus stepped toward the center of the mana geyser.

When the creature stood above the ground below which the tower was hidden, the link between the artifact and its masters could no longer be hindered by the Distortion Field array.

Another pillar of golden light emerged from the ground and reached for the sky. For the second time in a single day, the ground quaked and the clouds swirled around the column of energy generated by the hybrid.

Black tendrils of darkness emerged from the amputated limbs still laying on the ground where the Ragin Sun had carried them while gold-veined white tendrils erupted from the forearms of the colossus, reaching for each other.

"It's healing!" Windfell's host was finally whole again and the cursed scimitar yelled his warning. He ordered his flesh puppet to gulp nutrients non-stop in preparation for the battle. "We must kill Verhen before he recovers completely. Come to me!"

Stargazer and Knightfall had earlier had no trouble dealing with hundreds of Demons of the Darkness. They had cut through the Demons' ranks like a scythe felling ripe wheat, without ever slowing their advance.

Now, however, they were dealing with thousands of Origin Demons who not only kept coming back, but also whose equipment made them harder to kill by the second and who would also detonate when fatally wounded.

The living legacies had taken no step forward since the colossus had unleashed their army of flaming shadows. The three cursed weapons had been slowly pushed back, the distance with their enemy only increasing.

Stargazer and Knightfall disengaged as quickly as they could while also taking as little damage as possible but that was hard against an enemy who wasn't afraid of death.

The Demons' might was fueled by the geyser that in turn fed the hybrid formed by Lith and Solus. The constant flow of world energy gave the Demons substance while a spark of life force ignited the mana the souls were imbued with into Origin Flames. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Usually, releasing so much life force would have had catastrophic effects on Lith's cracked essence, but that wasn't the case anymore. Whenever he fused with Solus, their life forces would merge as well.

Their respective cracks would be carried over to the hybrid, but the tower's primary directive more than made up for it. Menadion's first and foremost order was to preserve her daughter and heal any injury Solus may have suffered, no matter the form she would take.

Now that Solus and Lith were one, the tower was mending their combined life force. The power of the mana geyser flowed through them, plugging the cracks in their essence to keep it from spilling and slowly stitching their edges.
