Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3293

Chapter 3293 Desperate Gamble (Part 2)

I never got to practice Dread Flames because they take an immense toll on my life force.' Lith said. I was planning on doing it with Valtak's help, but there was an... accident that forced him to rest.'

'After Kami rescued me and my life forces merged to perfection, controlling the Dread Flames is easier but that was just two days ago and I spent most of them planning this gods-damned raid.

I knew how to release and control one burst of Dread Flames, but I never attempted seven of them at the same time. It was a dangerous gamble but there was no other choice and it paid off.' He pointed at Solus' incoming light.

There was nothing the World Tree could do to stop her and they knew it.

I have lost all my Chroniclers, many of my libraries have been burned down by Verhen's Demons, and I've drawn the animosity of most of Leegaain's Brood. I haven't sacrificed so much and suffered like a dog just to lose everything." The Yggdrasill was backed into a

corner.

With Solus getting close to Lith and his Golems losing ground to the Wyrms due to the Tree's lack of focus the situation had gotten desperate.

'I hate gambling because fate is a fickle mistress, but at least this way I still have a chance at victory!"

There were only three eight-man units of Golems near the World Tree's trunk and many of the constructs were down. The burning pieces of their bodies were scattered on the ground, incapable of regenerating themselves until the World Tree managed to smother the Dread Flames consuming them.

Yet there were still enough Golems to cast a Silverwing's Annihilation and aim it at Ghar'mar.

'Please, like I didn't see this happen from a kilometer away!" Solus conjured the Bastion she kept at the ready, shielding the elf.

Then, a second Annihilation came from across the battlefield from a rear unit. The other seven Golems were distant and attacking meant leaving themselves open to a counterattack, but the Yggdrasill was willing to risk it.

'Mage tower here, baby!' Solus grunted, conjuring the second Bastion she had prepared. Controlling two anti-Guardian spells at the same time while bonded to a bright blue-cored host took a toll on Solus, but with the Heart floor's and Spare Parts' help, she managed.

Char'mar's mana was depleted so fast that she lost control of her flight spell, tumbling on the ground for a couple of seconds before the tower restored enough of her strength to take off again.

'Warn me the next time you pull a stunt like that! I almost broke my neck in the fall!" 'How was I supposed to know I'd need to conjure-Shit!' Solus used the data she received from the Ears to partially overlap the two Bastions by harmonizing their mana flows. The affected area surpassed the hardness of a single Bastion and made up for the Librarian's bright blue core. Yet it wasn't enough to stop the third Annihilation that the World Tree conjured on their own from the runes of the shattered arrays.

Tower Tier spells consumed a lot of energy and anti-Guardians spells required over three times as much. It was the reason the Yggdrasill had not used them until that

moment.

The World Tree had accumulated enormous amounts of mana through centuries of preparations and stored it in the form of arrays, but if used recklessly, even that much mana would run out sooner rather than later.

When that happened, the Yggrasill would no longer have a might on par with a Guardian. Not without the full control over the world energy of the Fringe and no array network to enact their will.
