Supreme Magus novel Chapter 658

Yondra used her tier four darkness magic spell, Black Heart. The glass was likely to be immune to lightning, whereas fire and ice would give those poor souls a slow, painful death. Plus, there was no earth to manipulate in the chamber.

Darkness was the most humane means to put them out of their misery.

When the energy mass struck the tank, instead of passing through the liquid and kill the orc like it was supposed to, it was completely absorbed by the tank and turned into nourishment.

The liquid surrounding the orc turned muddy and so did the other five tanks.

"I’m quite sure that’s not water." Yondra said while trying to understand what was happening.

Thanks to the mana now coursing through the transparent liquid, Lith could see with Life Vision that the six tanks were actually one system and that one of the creatures belonging to an unknown race was absorbing the darkness energy.

It converted Yondra’s spell into pure mana and then shared it with its companions via the liquid flow, giving them new strength.

’I’ve got bad news and I’ve worse news.’ Solus said.

’Hit me.’ Lith replied.

’The bad news is that I was right, they are indeed some kind of Balor replica. Now that they have enough juice, I can see that each one of them is infused with a single element.

’The worse news is that a few moments ago, an alarm has been triggered. It has activated an array above our heads that I couldn’t notice in its dormant state. It’s very weak, but it might still be deadly.’

Unbeknownst to Solus, the golems in the Weapon Research department had just struck the metal floor with a lightning bolt, spreading a general alarm. The whole Kulah was waking up from its centuries long slumber.

The array above their heads was a safety measure that simply closed a circuit to send world energy to the bio-weapon.

The tanks suddenly lit up, each one of a different color. They were respectively red, yellow, black, white, blue, and orange, reminding Lith of the story Yondra had told him about the six components of the world energy.

The previously withered limbs were regaining their ancient vigor as the screams of agony Lith heard grew louder.

"They’re getting stronger!" Lith shared with the rest of the group what he saw with Life Vision as he unleashed his tier four water magic spell, Ice Age, on the red colored tank.

He hoped to freeze them all to death or at least counter the fire energy instead of feeding more power to the Odi-made Balor. Yet his spell was absorbed and redirected by the blue colored tank, making him curse.

"Don’t waste your energy. It seems we are forced to wait for the tanks to open before being able to attack those creatures." Phloria said.

"Don’t worry, Captain. I got this." Yondra took what looked like a silver tuning fork from her dimensional item and after infusing it with a massive amount of her mana, she struck with it at the nearest tank.

The tuning fork sucked a small sample of the energy from the tank while emitting a high pitch. Lith could see Yondra’s pure mana resonating with the sample until it was 180° out of phase with it, turning the sample into nothingness.
