Supreme Magus novel Chapter 719

The soldiers were terrified. Without their weapons and equipment, they felt as if they were naked, but the worst thing was the acknowledgment of being completely helpless. Even if they were still fully armed, there was nothing they could do.

Once freed, they had run away out of survival instinct, but now they realized that it had been a pointless action. There was no way out of the underground facility nor a place where they could hide.

The Assistants didn’t stop thinking, they just kept running toward any door they could see, to get as further away as they could from that nightmare.

Quylla was getting weaker by the second, but since she seemed to know what she was doing, Morok gave her a bit of his life force and carried her in his arms up the staircase.

The door was unlocked, leading inside a room even bigger than the Reactor itself. The walls were covered in dimensional runes, which made Morok’s heart flutter, at least until he remembered that he had no idea what was written on them.

"You have a Forgemaster wand, correct? We can escape if you activate one of those runes." He said.

"No can do. First, I’m not leaving my sister and my friend behind. Second, they took my wand. So unless you want to retrieve it, we’re stuck." Quylla stared at the Reactor’s upper part that entered the room through the floor, trying to make a sense of the picture in the book she held.

"Damn my rotten... Wait! You said they. They who?" He asked.

"The blue guy and Gaakhu, she has sold us to the enemy. That bitch speaks the Odi language, so she must have cut herself a deal." Since the situation still made no sense, Quylla used her Forgemaster spells on the Reactor, to understand how it worked.

The moment her first spell was completed, her eyes rolled back, showing only the white and she started to puke uncontrollably, crying her eyes out.

"What the fuck is going on?" He blurted out while trying to stop Quylla’s seizure from harming her.

The Reactor’s insulation was lighter on its upper part, so she had experienced something even worse than what Lith had felt while using Invigoration. The term Mana Reactor was just a fancy word to hide its real purpose.

In order for the device to work, countless lives had been thrown into the mana geyser below Kulah. The life forces of the Odi’s victims had been modified, so that they could absorb the world energy and filter it with their bodies, turning it into mana.

The structure made of metal and mana crystal had only the function to store and contain the energy while the Reactor purified the mana produced from its energy signature to allow the Odi to use it freely.

Yet because of its nature, it wasn’t just the energy that the Reactor had stored. Every single living being that had been thrown inside the device was still in there. The world energy would invade their bodies and mana cores, making them explode due to the failed Awakening process.

Yet thanks to the modifications they had sustained and the Reactor splitting the world energy into its six components, the light element would heal them the moment they were damaged, keeping the living fuel in an eternal cycle of death and rebirth.

Some of them had even turned into Abominations, but they were trapped as well. They had no advantage over their peers, quite the contrary. Their black cores were the perfect filters, so the amount of energy they endured was much greater and so was their suffering.

The Mana Reactor was akin to a cauldron where world energy, flesh, and souls were constantly burned to provide the Odi with unlimited power. Quylla’s spells had made her feel just a spark of the suffering those trapped inside its bowels perceived every single second, yet it was enough to drive her insane.

Lith released his spell, making Jiira gasp in surprise for more than one reason. The console was inside the God’s Will array, so instead of giving the thunderbolt a straight trajectory, Lith moved it along the array’s borders, so that it entered the magical formation from the nearest point to the terminal. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
