3059 Top Gear (Part 1)
Lith kept Twilight Storm going until he ran out of stolen elemental energy. He could see with the Eyes that the Tower Spell had failed to deal much damage. Now that Argantyr had gone deep underground enough, only the darkness component of Twilight Storm still worked.
'I could dig him out by force, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze.' Lith thought.
'Agreed.' Solus nodded. 'There's no point prolonging this fight any longer. We are now certain that the Engine turns us into dimensional mages and we have put Gravity Magic, Silverwing's spells, and the various floors' capabilities in combat to the test.
'The Factory and the Workshop work better than I expected and so did Yurial's Guard.'
'I only wish that idiot was here with us now.' Lith sighed at the memory of his late friend. 'I would slap him in the face with a sheaf of papers that says: arrays are not useless.'
While the lost city took cover, Lith and Solus prepared their best spell. The various pieces of Menadion's Set they owned and the different floors of the tower worked together to give birth to their most ambitious project ever.
Ragnar?k was sealed inside Double Edge that in turn was coated with the tower version of the Fury, making the three weapons into one big enough to fit the Prime Engine.
The gigantic sword traced sharp lines in the air, drawing long strings of runes on its passage. With each movement, the magic circle conjured by Ragnar?k grew in complexity and power.
The Mouth, the Firing Range, and the Heart helped conjure the array-spell hybrid while the Hands, the Mirror Hall, and the weapons stored in the Armory amplified it.
The Eyes collected the data about the hybrid weapon in the Library and the Workshop and the Factory used the information to alter the stone blade. Runes were added and discarded with each second.
The pattern of the magic crystals embossed on the blade changed as soon as a position capable of better amplifying the mana flow was found.
The exhaust ports on the back of the Prime Engine flared up, releasing the excess world energy that not even Menadion's tower could muster. The Engine split the world energy into its elemental components and mixed it with its master's life force to generate Spirit Magic.
What was left was released outside through the exhaust ports in bursts of raw power that resembled six blazing wings.
'What the fuck?' Lith, Solus, and the white cores thought in unison.
The phenomenon was unknown to them as well since it was the first time that the Tower Blade Spell, Extinction, was attempted. The Hands collected extra world energy and so did every artifact stored in the Armory.
The unused pieces of equipment added their power cores to the spell, bringing it above anything a mortal had ever done before.
The metal plates forming the blade of the hybrid Ragnar?k opened, creating a circuit. Pure elemental energy flowed from each of the seven crystals etched on its surface to the others and through the blade in a loop.
Yet there was no trace of an emerald glow or any way to safely dispose of the seventh element of magic. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
