2899 Collapsing Eternity (Part 1)

Thaymos' strength turned into poison and his enchantments shorted in a rainfall of wild mana sparks.

The colossus fell to the ground, incapable of withstanding his own weight. The Life Maelstrom coursed through the Eternal Fortress in a cycle of destruction and regeneration that drained his mana reserves.

Tyris made it even quicker by dropping Morning Star on his chest. Without the ability to conjure a hard-light construct, Thaymos' hands melted as soon as he grabbed the haft.

In the span of a few minutes, the living castle was reduced to a pool of molten stone and stayed that way. All the mana the lost city had accumulated since his creation was spent and what was left of it was barely enough to keep his pseudo core from succumbing to the heat radiated by the mace.

And that solely because Tyris willed so.

She stored Morning Star away the moment its work was done, giving Thaymos' core time to stabilize. Sure, its energy reserves had reached rock bottom, but they were still near a mana geyser and the pseudo core still had the cumulative power stolen from millions of mana cores, both healthy and defective.

The Guardian could already feel the pseudo core draining the surrounding world energy and twisting it into a corrupted hybrid between life force and mana.

The ruins of the Eternal Fortress were slowly rearranging themselves into their original appearance, the different buildings taking form from the amorphous mass of molten rock.

"That was impressive." Zagran clapped her hands in amazement. "Scary and reckless, but impressive nonetheless. Yet there's a reason I never tried doing something like that.

"If we don't find an isolated place where to seal that thing soon, it will come back to life with a power beyond what a non-Guardian can face. We have to move fast and contact the Council for help.

"That scaredy serpent of Fenagar fled and I'm not going to bring one of his living legacies on my turf."

"I don't need the Council's help and I'm not going to seal this thing anywhere." The Griffon grabbed the pseudo core with her clawed hand, crushing the white stones that had already reattached to it and insulating Thaymos from the world energy with her Life Maelstrom-

enhanced aura.

"I'm going to kill this revolting creature here and now."

"How?" The Garuda asked, trying and failing to open a Steps leading to Tyris' position.

With Fenagar missing, the authority of the ruler of the land weakened both Guardians but Tyris' rage was stronger. She usually wouldn't interfere in the power balance of her own country let alone that of another continent.

When she faced someone important or a threat on the level of Thaymos, no matter how much they angered them, she would limit herself to teaching them a lesson and cripple their life force.

It was what she had done in the past to Xedros, Ileza, Fenagar, and twice to Roghar.

Yet the lost city's life force was coded into his enchantments and altering them would have caused a chain reaction whose consequences were unpredictable. Tyris had yet to forgive Fenagar for his transgression and the people of Jiera for turning their back on her.

"Tyris, do you need my help?" Salaark didn't attempt to open a Gate, knowing that she would have suffered Zagran's same fate. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
