Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3292

Chapter 3292 Desperate Gamble (Part 1)

Even without the corruption left by the Bleed, the tower had full access to the world energy of the Fringe. It empowered not only the elf, but also the Menadion Set Ripha

wore.

The First Ruler of the Flames didn't have to worry about putting strain on Solus' life force anymore and could push the various pieces of the set to the limits of their current form.

Menadion activated the Furies' Flight ability of her hammers, clearing Spare Parts' flying path from the deep violet-cored elves. She used the Mouth to cast spells non-stop and the Hands to fuel them, drawing attention away from the escaping Librarian.

'I can't manifest the Prime Engine without revealing the tower's existence. Solus inwardly cursed. Yet don't worry, Ghar'mar, I'm right by your side every step of the way.' Powerful space-compressing arrays encompassed the area near the World Tree and kept Solus from Tower Warping. She could only dig her way through the ground with earth magic and keep the tower as close as possible to the elf.

Their lives were intertwined and what happened to one of them would reflect upon the other. The silver lining of that situation was that, thanks to the corruption spread by the Bleed, at close range the tower exerted absolute control over the world energy.

It made Solus and Spare Parts akin to dimensional mages and allowed them to manipulate the flow of Mogar's breath to their advantage just as the World Tree had done until a few seconds ago.

'Step one!' Solus activated the defensive protocols of the tower to conjure the Anvil of Menadion around the Librarian's body.

The enchanted stone armor fused with Spare Parts' equipment, boosting her physical abilities and further increasing her speed.

'Step two!" From below the ground, the tower kept growing in size and turning into its battle form.

'What about step three? The elf asked, feeling the Prime Engine moving just a few meters below her, humming with power.

"That's for when we get out of the space-compressing array. Solus replied. 'Keep moving and help me weave a few spells.'

At the same time, Ripha covered their backs, fighting like a god of war.

She now had a body superior to the one she had in life and bloodline abilities that complemented it to perfection. On top of that, with the Master Set fueled by the tower, she could tap into its true potential.

Thanks to the Ears, Menadion perceived every attack and spell before they even started. Awakened and true mages relied on fusion magic while fighting, generating a mana flow

through their bodies that the Ears could track.

Ripha dodged physical attacks with minimal movements and Dominated the enemies' spells, turning them against each other. The artifact made it easy for her to find the focus points of mana and willpower even amid the chaos of battle.

The attention of the World Tree was too scattered all over the Fringe to resist Ripha's influence. Turning the Chroniclers into Puppets ensured their obedience but it also left the Yggdrasill to control his now-mindless drones one by one.

Menadion, instead, could focus on the most powerful spells of the bunch and imbue them with the extra mana coming from the Hands. In its unsealed form, the Mouth kept. active the runes of the spells it stored once they were cast.

When weaving new spells, Ripha used those runes to shorten her cast time by half. She harried Golems and elves ahead of Solus' path, drawing attention to herself and punishing those who dared ignore the Ruler of the Flames with a Davross hammer to the head.

'Don't fall for Menadion's provocations! The World Tree's order resounded inside the Awakened elves' minds. 'She's just a diversion. Stop the traitor Ghar'mar Riverflow at all costs!'

Lith and Solus closed the distance separating them by the second, with the Tiamat's group nearing the space-compressing array and the Librarian attempting to escape its boundaries.
