Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2484

2484 Power Rush (Part 2)

The Elder Hydra was wearing the Royal Fortress armor and kept the silver bolts of lightning of the Life Maelstrom it produced ready for use.

"It's not my fault if you've never bothered visiting me before. Faluel chided her mother. Tm a Regional Lord of the Council and I have several apprentices to care for. I don't have the time to travel to the Empire every time 1 want to have a cup of tea and a chat with you.

"You instead are retired and spend your days idly. It wouldn't kill you to keep in touch with your children more often and nag at them less."

"Wow." Fyrwal snorted. "I don't remember all this sass when you asked my help to get your hands on a share of Thrud's spoils. I seem to recall that you were more like: "Please, Mommy, please! The Council is paying me peanuts for my contributions because they are prioritizing the compensation of the families of the Awakened fallen in battle.

"The Royals took half the loot for themselves and as one of the four founding pillars of the Kingdom, you are entitled to a quota. Do this for me and I won't ask your help for a long while." The Elder Hydra made her best Faluel's impression, giving her voice a childish, high-pitched tone.

"I don't sound like that!" Faluel's snake heads hissed in outrage.

"You do whenever you want a favor." Fyrwal replied and she was right.

"Whatever. Now please get ready to do everything you can to keep the Harmonizer from exploding. It's the last one I got and if we lose it, I'll never learn Glemos' secrets Interesting Fyrwal's heads bobbed in the air with a deep-thought expression on their reptilian snouts.

"What are you talking about? I have yet to take it out of my dimensional amulet."

Tve just noticed how the Harmonizer is yours* and you are the one who's going to learn how to mass produce it in case we succeed whereas if we fail it's our problem. Ungrateful much?" The Elder Hydra asked.

"It was my apprentices who risked their lives to recover the Harmonizer. If not for Ajatar and I baiting Glemos into a trap, there would be nothing to study so I've got every right to keep the discovery for myself.

"As for you, what favor would it be if I had to share the prize with you? It would be a partnership." Faluel replied. "Now less bickering and more focusing. We have only one shot at this. On my mark."

Faluel placed the dimensional item in the space between the two Hydras where they had drawn their respective best Forgemastering circles.

Faluel fueled them with the world energy she conjured from the underground mana geyser via the Hands of Menadion so that both she and her mother didn't need to waste one of their heads to use their breathing technique.

This way, they kept their mana cores full and their senses sharp. Between the two of them, it was akin to having two seven-man units of bright violet-cored Forgemasters with perfect teamwork.

Only when Fyrwal cleared her head from every trace of the Dragon greed that an invaluable artifact like the Harmonizer aroused did she nod for her daughter to proceed.

"Now! Faluel took the enchanted collar out of the dimensional amulet and activated the Stasis Field array to keep the self-destruction from triggering

The late Glemos had been meticulous in keeping the fruits of the Tyrant bloodline's research a secret. The Harmonizer had a double imprint mechanism and after his death, it was programmed to implode the moment its wearer took it off or died.

This way, no one could study or experiment on it.

The Stasis Field array was the innermost circle so that it wouldn't interfere with the others which in turn would take effect the moment the stasis was removed.

"Tell me when you are ready." Faluel said.
