2893 Full Power (Part 1)

'I would risk it all, if I was certain of victory, but I'm not. My best shot would be activating the Prime Engine but again, it's not enough to win, only to buy a bit more time. Even worse, it would betray the existence of the tower and at that point, my life would be over.'

Lith turned his head in the direction of the wagon where the children were, knowing that his best shot at getting out of there alive was to lure the enemy there and bait the Eternal Fortress at striking at Elysia.

At that point, a Guardian would come out and drive the lost city back. Even such a powerful being could only stall for time since killing Thaymos was impossible. It was a huge gamble for little return.

The Guardians might read his intentions and refuse to help until the last moment or maybe even take back their vow after rescuing them as a punishment for Lith's manipulations.

His mind foresaw several outcomes, one worse than the previous, in the span of a few seconds but it wasn't that staying his hand. The mere thought of putting his daughter into danger, of exploiting her life as a tool made every fiber of his being churn in disgust.

'It's my duty to protect Elysia, not the other way around. She's in this situation only because I brought her to Jiera. I promised to do anything, to become anything in order to protect her and I will!'

Lith let the blue flames go rampant, relinquishing his body in favor of that of the Void Demon Dragon. The blue fire raged anew, shrouding him and infecting Thaymos' body with every blow, block, and when they merely brushed.

Solus went back to the tower to avoid getting burned. From there, she cast Nova Spells non-stop and passed them onto Lith after amplifying them with the Mirror Hall.

The Void Demon Dragon used the blue flames to burn through the multiple defensive layers of the Eternal Fortress and released the spells at once from point-blank range.

The camp became as bright as day as the lightning storm of Nova Mjolnir, the fires of Nova Eclipse, and the hard-light constructs of Nova Extermination hammered at the lost city.

Lith emitted the Nova Roar last, imbuing it with a wave of blue flames that coated every shockwave and elemental aspect of the spell.

Thaymos chuckled like a baby, simply raising his hand in reply.

An emerald barrier coated his body, shattering the Nova spells into sparkles of mana upon contact. He got rid of the blue flames by severing the afflicted parts of the barrier and then replacing them with new energy.

["Impressive! You forced me to use a defensive spell."] The Eternal Fortress clapped his hands as the exhaustion from the repeated use of the blue flames ravaged Lith's body.

Yet it wasn't the strain on his cracked life force that made his legs buckle, bringing the Void Demon Dragon down to one knee.

'How could I miss it? This whole time the lost city hasn't used a single defensive spell. All of our efforts to wound him succeeded solely because he didn't bother raise his guard. None of our blows would have reached him if he didn't allow us to.'
