3058 Shifting Gears (Part 2)

To make matters worse, the ruins of Argantyr's right side were already rebuilding themselves into the missing arm and a second Searing Light was taking form in front of the proto-hand.

Lith followed Solus' instructions to the letter, Blinking away at the last second and to a position that forced the Elemental Lord's left arm to trace a wide arc to follow the Engine's movements.

The problem was that more and more light bullets joined the chase by the second and the Engine couldn't get too far away from the mana geyser without losing control to the Elemental Lord.

With such limited options, it was only a matter of time before that game of tag came to an end.

<"There you are!"> Argantyr had figured out the pattern in the Blinks and aimed the Searing Light where the enemy would be instead of where he was.

The Prime Engine was caught while stepping out of the dimensional door but it had a Spirit Barrier surrounding it that took the brunt of the damage. The impact sealed the Engine's movements long enough for the scattered beams of Searing Light to catch up with the spell's main body.

A hail of sharp rocks, incandescent magma, and light hammered at the Engine from every side. The mere shockwave from the blast raised a mushroom cloud and uprooted trees.

Even from their position, the three white cores needed to conjure a Hush spell to not be deafened by the noise.

"What an idiot." Rethia said.

"Agreed." Sinmara nodded.

"I really wish we could show this to our children." Surtr sighed. "It would be a priceless lesson about how power without wisdom is nothing but madness."

<"What the fuck?"> In his frenzy, Argantyr came to their same conclusion only when it was too late. <"How can his energy signature have gotten stronger after enduring my attack? He should be half dead!">

Only then did he notice that the position he had predicted was right in the middle of the mana geyser. By standing there, the Engine had greatly accelerated the recovery speed of its tower core.

Only then did the Elemental Lord realize that the emerald barrier was long gone, replaced by a colossal alloy shield brimming with mana.

Argantyr's mana.

Lith and Solus had used the Blinks to replenish the tower's strength while also buying time for the Workshop and Factory to craft Yurial's Guard.

The tower shield behind which the Engine stood was comprised of Davross, Adamant, Orichalcum, and silver, with the stronger metals at its center to take on Searing Light and the less durable metals closer to the edges where the pressure was lower.

Straight in the middle of the shield, there was a thin layer of Darwen that coated the metal and served as the first line of defense. It wasn't part of the alloy because all Lith's and Solus' attempts to craft something with Darwen always ended in catastrophic failure.
