2876 Black Tide (Part 4)

Lith split the silver energy inside him into two identical halves, each forming a stable lightning ring. Solus took one and the silver ring moved inside her body without any discomfort since her energy signature was identical to Lith's.

She combined her Domination with the Hands of Menadion to both keep the Life Maelstrom in check and amplify it as Lith had done, but with no success.

'Fuck! What do you think is the difference between us?' She asked.

'Off the top of my head, a mana organ. My lungs and heart can naturally collect the world energy and ignite it with life force. For me, the hard part is suppressing the fire element and replacing it with a spark of the Life Maelstrom Valeron gave me.

'For you, everything is hard.' Lith took deep breaths, each one collecting great amounts of world energy yet only a small part turned into new Life Maelstrom.

If the energy signature of Valeron the Second became too dilute, the silver lightning would fade so Lith couldn't just inject world energy at will. He also had to provide a spark of his own life force after purging it of his energy signature so that it would be assimilated by Valeron's.

It added one layer of difficulty too many for someone who was attempting such a difficult procedure for the second time and once again during a battle.

Solus tried to replicate his technique with the emerald gem of the Hands but only one of the two gauntlets had it. The spark of life force flowed from one hand just to crash into the other which was incapable of channelling it.

'I guess you are right.' She inwardly sighed. 'Still, it was worth a shot. Be careful out there. My safe word is the same as Bodya's.'

'It's not funny!' Lith grumbled and fire burst from under his scales. 'Be careful as well and remember that our role here is to stall the Black Tide.'

'I will.' Solus jumped on the back of the Vagrash, wielding the Sage Staff in her left hand and the Fury in her right.

The Golem unfurled its wings and used a mix of gravity and air magic so that they could support its weight and that of its rider.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Inxialot's bones were the first ones to make contact with the enemy. They bounced on the heads of the advancing army, ignored at first but quickly picked up as soon as the smell of the rotten meat that covered them reached the monsters' noses.

The fallen creatures bit the flesh and twisted the bones to suck the marrow but both resisted every attempt to break them. Red light filled the empty sockets of the Lich King's skull as his consciousness was dragged away from his mind lab.

"I was this close to substituting numbers with elemental runes and giving birth to magical calculations. This better be important, or else..." Inxialot looked around, seeing too many fangs, claws, and snarling faces for his taste.

His first thought went to his phylactery, afraid that Nero might be in similar circumstances. After feeling the presence of the cat and the vessel of the other half of his mana core at a safe distance, the King of Liches could focus on the threat at hand.

Or rather, at hands.

The first cube opened its dimensional subspace, releasing a mountain of skeletons whose flesh had been replaced with Orichalcum. Their right hand had been fused with an Adamant blade while the left with a shield. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
