3178 Expendable Pawn (Part 2)

The Tree had done their homework and the Chroniclers this time coordinated their attacks against Solus instead of fighting as individuals. They covered each other's back, exploiting the openings that Solus' attacks created and forcing her to turtle up.

Until that moment, she had failed to kill anyone after Uldreyin.

'It's done!' Vamir alerted Solus the moment the Engine was fully formed and the link with the mana geyser established beyond what the World Tree could cut off once they stepped off the exposed ground.

'Fire in the hole!' She replied while pointing at the still-open blast mark left by Thundercrash.

The Librarian nodded and fired the electromagnetic cannon. The shockwave alone sent the Chroniclers slamming against the wall while the noise burst their eardrums. It wasn't enough to kill them, but that was Solus' job.

As the bullet opened a gaping wound in the Tree's massive body, the agony they suffered spread to the Chroniclers on top of their own wounds, paralyzing them. Solus unleashed her spells, threw her hammers, and cut down those closest to her with the Hands' blades at the same time.

To add salt to the open injury in the Tree, she collected the Yggdrasill weapons of the dead Chroniclers with Spirit Magic and sent them to the Bleed for life force extraction.

'I'm sorry.' Vamir lowered his eyes in shame as he had the Engine pick Solus up and charged forward.

'About what?' She asked, triggering another mind fusion to reinforce her hold over the elf.

'I slightly adjusted the targeting system of the Mechatron. It was aimed at one of our villages and Ellila might have been there. I couldn't risk harming her.'

'Don't apologize. You have my thanks for that.' Solus replied.

'Really?'

'Yeah, I'm not Lith. I won't kill innocent elves unless it's absolutely necessary.' Solus activated the tower's flight enchantment and escaped the Yggdrasill's clutches before the opening could heal.

'By my Mom!' Even though she was on the run, the sight of the Tree's Fringe was still breathtaking.

The Heir of the First Awakened was so big that the Engine was as tall as a toddler standing in front of a centuries-old oak tree.

A single branch was big enough to host an entire village of elves and most of them actually did. Before she got too far from the Tree, Solus had the time to notice that there also were villages built in between the roots and several tunnels led under the Tree.

'Sun elves emit a golden radiance while Moon elves a silvery one.' Vamir explained.

'What about you?' Solus pointed at his soothing blue aura and light brown skin.

'I'm a Wood elf while Ellila with her red glow is a Shadow elf, silly. Mighty Tree if you are an airhead.' The Librarian chuckled.

Elves were forbidden to invoke the gods' names, afraid that the Guardians might listen to them and discover the secrets of their master.

'I'm sorry. I must have taken one blow to the head too many.' Solus had no idea what he was talking about or what Ellila looked like.
