Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2466

Trapped inside Nova Prison, Knightfall rejoiced when the Tower Spell disappeared but his happiness was short-lived.

He was sucked by Sham Black Hole as well, watching helplessly as the clouds started to come down swirling. Lith and Solus balanced the gravity and the dimensional spells together, keeping them active until they felt that they could no longer contain the monster they had created.

They threw Sham Black Hole away and conjured a multi-layered barrier around the point of impact. Inside the darkness of the spell lay tons of air kept under high pressure that would violently expand the moment the gravity was released.

The resulting explosion made the ground quake and it would have raised a mushroom cloud if not for the hybrid pouring all their strength into the barriers.

Spinning domes comprised of earth, air, and light sealed off the detonation by making the shockwaves rebound back and forth, focusing the destructive power of the released pressure on the living legacies.

As the dust settled, the Distortion Field array disappeared. Knightfall was too busy keeping himself together to waste precious mana and without the magical formation, the bond between the tower and its masters was fully restored.

Direct contact was no longer needed to access the full scope of the tower's powers and due to the Watchtower, the space was theirs to command.

Ready for the finishing blow, the colossus shrank to human size. It was the form that Lith and Solus knew best and with which they could perfectly coordinate their movements.

"How?" Tista asked from a very far away safe distance. "How did you know that this would have happened?"

They had spectated the fight from much closer until the Annihilations had started flying. At that point, the Horseman had dragged the Red Demon even farther away, and this time Tista had opposed no resistance.

"Actually, I didn't." Dawn shrugged. "I was just playing it safe. At least until I witnessed Solith using the Hands of Menadion. That's when everything became clear and I knew that we were too close for comfort."

"Stop calling them like that! Also, what are you talking about?" Tista did her best to act confused but she swallowed twice.

"Please, don't insult my intelligence." The Horseman sighed in annoyance. "I've spent months wondering what kind of cursed object Solus could be and why I've never heard anything about her during my life.

"Too many things didn't add up. She has a body of her own, and she can get away from her host without breaking their bond yet only for a limited time. Plus there is her complete lack of unique powers and weak-ass core.

"No mage, and I mean not even a mad one, would bother using Forbidden Magic to create a living legacy with a mana core inferior to the bright violet core. Unless of course, they didn't create anything nor did they use Forbidden Magic.

"I've seen the pieces of the set of Menadion countless times in my mother's archives and I've helped her in her attempts to recreate them so we both know what I'm talking about.

"Hands, Eyes, Mouth, Ears, and Fury." Dawn pointed at five artifacts comprised of gold-veined white marble. "Solus' real name is Elphyn Menadion and her artifact half is the lost tower of Menadion. Am I right, Mom?"

With the Distortion Field array gone, Dawn's bond with Baba Yaga was restored and it hadn't taken long for the ancient white core to reach them.

"You are, dear." Baba Yaga was in her Mother form, her flaming red hair whipping behind her due to the gusts of wind that escaped from the barriers. "I'm sorry for hiding the truth from you."

"Don't apologize." The Horseman shook her head. "I never met the First Ruler of the Flames but I know how much you cared for her and her daughter. After my fight with Verhen and everything that Night did to him, you had every right to be cautious.

"You couldn't afford the risk of further fueling my sister's obsession. Also, it wasn't your decision to make. You did the right thing by respecting their wish for privacy."
