Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3291

Chapter 3291 Apex (Part 2)

'This is our chance!' Lith and Solus thought in unison. 'The battle isn't split between the strike and the decoy team anymore. The Yggdrasill has to cover the entire space around them or be burned to a crisp.

'On top of that, the World Tree has to use what's left of the shattered arrays' energy sparingly. Once all the runes are spent, no more Tower Tier spells and no time to accumulate the necessary mana to cast arrays of that magnitude.'

With the old Fringe gone and waves of pure world energy filling the new one, the Divine Beasts and Eldritches felt like a huge weight had been lifted from their shoulders.

Their powers were back to their full strength and the Fringe nourished them past their limits. The newcomers greeds of Dragons coordinated with the Fire and Golden Dragons and attacked the World Tree from every side.

They all shared the wrath for Valtak's death and became more enraged every time another Wyrm fell into battle.

To deal with the flaming onslaught, the Yggdrasill rearranged their forces to cover the perimeter of their main body, forming advanced, middle, and rear lines of Wood Golems and elves.

Even though keeping Solus from escaping was still a priority, survival topped that. The number of Divine Beasts now matched that of the Golems and if a formation were to crumble, there would be no time to rearrange the others before it was too late.

The Dragons would exploit the opening for a pincer attack while the second line of Wyrms would take their time to find and kill the Puppets controlling the Golems for good.

To keep the situation from spiraling out of control, the Tree was forced to leave only a few handfuls of thralls to guard the exit in front of Solus.

'Forcing Elphyn in the open now would be a liability. I have to box her in!' The Yggdrasill had its bark grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, closing the hollow leading inside their trunk.

Long vines sprouted from every side, forming a tight net that would slow down any escape attempt until the exit was sealed shut.

'It's now or never!' Lith said via the mind link as he and the others weaved a Chaos Annihilation.

Without the need to keep the world energy free from the will of the World Tree, Lith could focus the full power of the Hands to enhance the strength of his allies and use whatever was left to cast another Ruin.

Weaving a Blade Spell required a lot of focus that he didn't have during a life-or-death battle, but even in its sealed state, the Mouth of Menadion could do that for him.

'We need to distract the Golems if we want to give Solus a chance to escape.' Vastor said. 'Release suppressive fire according to my instructions!'

The Master was the one with the most experience in using and coordinating anti-Guardian spells. After all, it took seven violet-cored Awakened to cast a single Annihilation whereas the Eldritch-hybrids could do it on their own.

The group charged forward while unleashing five Chaos Annihilations aimed at the space between the Wood Golems. If they dodged it, their formation would crumble. If they took it in full, they would be severely damaged and become incapable of holding their ground until their wounds healed.

'Mogar almighty!' The World Tree had just enough Golems to cast two Bastions so they had no way to stop the remaining three without incurring in massive losses. 'Dodge while keeping your Spirit Barriers up and restore formation the moment the spells fade!'

'It's now or never!' Menadion said via the mind link when the Eyes projected the estimated trajectory of the Annihilations in front of her.
