The metal plates forming the blade of the hybrid Double Edge opened, creating a circuit. Pure elemental energy flowed from each of the seven crystals etched on its fuller to the others and then through the blade in a loop.
The exhaust ports on the back of the hybrid's armor 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 masters' life forces to generate Spirit Magic.
What was left was released through the exhaust ports in bursts of raw elemental power that flooded six of the eight wings of the hybrid, changing their color accordingly.
The remaining two, one comprised of golden hair and the other black and membranous turned to an emerald green along with the rest of the body.
The cores of Lith, Solus, and the tower beat in unison with the seven kinds of elemental crystals embossed in their weapon, armor, and every piece of equipment stored in the armory, each pulsing like living hearts.
With each pulse, the Spirit wave flooded every bit of the hybrid's armor and body until the black and silver of the Voidwalker armor and the golden and white of the tower were eclipsed by the brilliant emerald light.
With a mighty roar, Lith and Solus released Extinction from their body in the form of a blazing pillar that split into five streams of energy and intercepted the Annihilations.
The anti-Guardian spells and the Tower Blade spell clashed to a standstill, but that only until the first bright white lightning streaked the hybrid's aura, pushing their strength up another notch.
'No!' The World Tree used their breathing technique, Root Cause, to inject more mana and make up for the growing gap in power between the spells but so did Lith and Solus. 'Fuck, no!'
With all their knowledge and wisdom, the Yggdrasill was just one bright violet core, like Lith. Lith, however, also had Solus and the tower by his side.
The mage tower constantly absorbed great amounts of world energy from the Fringe and used it to replenish Lith's and Solus' mana akin to Invigoration while also nurturing their bodies and cores.
The absorption of world energy was further amplified by the Hands of Menadion and the Sage Staff stored in the Armory while the emerald armor enveloping the hybrid's body boosted their vitality and all their bloodline abilities.
'We can't hold on much longer.' Lith and Solus thought. 'So far we have prevented the Golems from casting anti-Guardian spells by Blinking amid their ranks and decimating them, but if the World Tree pins us into place for too long, we are done.'
Lith emitted Tiamat Fear, taking control over the world energy surrounding the hybrid while Solus put her mother's lesson about the Eyes and Ears into practice to find the weak points of the enemy's spells.
Tiamat Fear slowed down the mana flow of the Annihilations, allowing Solus to aim the five streams of Extinction right at the focal junctures where the seven elemental pillars met to form the anti-Guardian spells.
The Tower Blade Spell pierced through the fractured Annihilations and dug its way toward the Yggdrasill.
No matter how much mana the World Tree poured into their spells, the Yggdrasill couldn't keep up with the tower. Especially with the Annihilations losing their cohesion as the hybrid kept countering the Tree's every move.
No matter what path the anti-Guardian spells took or if they whipped around like snakes to attack the hybrid from multiple sides at once, the Ears read the change in their mana flow and Solus adjusted Extinction's trajectory accordingly.
