3057 Shifting Gears (Part 1)

The Demons shared Lith's same energy signature so only Gravity magic affected them. Everything else they ignored and unleashed their own spells, wreaking havoc inside the Elemental Lord like a violent infection.

'If only I had seven Demons inside my Void Sigils, I could train them to use Silverwing Annihilation.' Lith inwardly griped. 'The problem is that even with the black chains guiding them, temporary Demons lack the finesse to employ complex spells and tactics.

'The best I can do is unleash them at the enemy and let the Demons vent their fury.'

Argantyr tried to Blink but the dimensional spell collapsed halfway through and severed him in two halves.

<"Cursed objects can enslave souls, be a dimensional mage, or manipulate matter. No one can do all these things. What are you?"> The failed Blink had put a dent in the Elemental Lord's vitality, tipping the scales for the first time since the beginning of the fight.

The answer was that Lith manipulated the Demons and the Watchtower gave Solus the dimensional awareness of a dimensional mage. The Factory had produced the shield, but only because the Library held the necessary blueprints and the mines stored enough materials for the Workshop to replicate.

None of those abilities came from the power core of the tower. Menadion had built it to assist her and give her the means she needed to exceed her limits. Unlike a cursed object, without its master the tower was just an elegant pile of stones.

Lith ignored the question and activated the Silverwing's Annihilation stored in the Mouth of Menadion. Seven lights of different colors arranged like the Big Dipper appeared on the right palm of the Engine, unleashing the Tower Tier version of the anti-Guardian spell.

<"What's that?"> Argantyr had never heard about Silverwing and his sensory arrays reported that the power of the spell-array hybrid was off the scales set millennia ago by his makers.

As the seven elemental pillars bolted forward in a prismatic beam of light, Argantyr conjured his best defensive Tower Spell, Winter Keep. The earth element raised a rock wall the size of a tidal wave while the water element coated it in a thick layer of ice that drained the heat from everything it touched.

The air element coated the colossal shield with storm winds that would deflect any incoming hit and accelerate the movements of the otherwise slow earth element.

The creators of the lost city had named him the Elemental Lord because they intended to Forgemaster a creature as powerful as a Guardian but bestowed with all elemental affinities.

With each mana geyser Argantyr infected, he gained a new source of world energy that his main pseudo cores split into its elemental components. Mogar's energy signature was absorbed, becoming part of the lost city's life force, and replaced by Argantyr's.

The process allowed his strength to grow endlessly and to have an unlimited source of Spirit Magic. On top of that, he had reached such a level of mastery over the elements that his spells could conjure small natural disasters.

Winter Keep held the power of a quake, but the Tower version of the Annihilation ripped it to shreds. The earth, air, and water pillars tore the corresponding elements comprising Winter Keep apart like fire burning through paper before joining the assault of the remaining four elements.

Argantyr's elemental-sealing arrays proved to be useless and his Spirit Barrier held only for one second before cracking and one second longer before shattering. He poured everything he had into his right arm, turning it into a shield construct imbued with emerald and orange light.
