Supreme Magus novel Chapter 721

Since Quylla kept being useless, Morok stood up and conjured his strongest tier five War Mage spell, Wheel of Fate. Usually it had an area of effect too big to be used in a closed space, but the Reactor’s maintenance room was big enough to accommodate two of such spells.

Four rings, each one made of a different elemental energy and as big as a ferris wheel surrounded the Reactor. Normally there would be five of them but without earth to manipulate, that part of the spell was just a waste of mana.

The four rings attacked the structure in turns. Darkness first to weaken the structure and all the spells it was imbued with, then fire to heat the Reactor until its metal parts were white-hot.

Then followed the water ring, to inflict a powerful thermal shock and drench the enemy in water, so that the ensuing lightning ring could seep through all the cracks that the previous attacks had opened.

Several mana crystals exploded and the lights in the room flickered while the spell relentlessly hammered the Mana Reactor, almost giving the now awake Quylla a heart attack.

"What are you doing, you idiot? If you destroy the opening mechanism, we will never stop the Reactor in time." She said.

"The what now?" Morok dispelled the Wheel with a wave of his hand.

"Can’t you see the hatch on the picture?" She slammed the book under his nose. "We have no chance of destroying the Mana Reactor with normal spells. For the gods’ sake, how can you think that something made to contain infinite mana can be harmed by mana?"

"Now that you point that out, it explains why my strategy wasn’t very effective on the lower floor, but here the shielding is lighter. No matter how sturdy a dam is, it only takes a crack to take it down." Morok quoted his wise father.

"Yeah, too bad we are in front of the dam! I’m sure that Lith asked you to find a way to turn it off, not to blow us all in the greatest conflagration Mogar has ever seen. What part of ’infinite mana’ isn’t clear to you?"

"Fine, egghead. Then what’s your brilliant plan?" Morok firmly believed that attack was the best defense, especially when there was nothing you could say to make you appear less moronic.

"To fuel the Reactor, the Odi need to throw living creatures down that hatch, is that clear?" She asked and Morok nodded for her to continue.

"Then if we trick the system into believing that it’s recharge time but we throw inside something hard to digest instead of fresh meat, the in-built safety measures will stop its functioning.

"I doubt that the Odi planned on dying at the first misoperation and since the Reactor is powerful enough to blow its way out to the surface, there must be a panic button or something. We just need to trigger it."

Quylla walked to the Mana Reactor and started to compare the picture with the real thing in front of her. It took her but a wave of her hand to get rid of the layer of frost covering the console and the several monitors.

"Good job, jackass! Most of them are broken!" She said while using water and air magic to dry everything, in the hope that at least some of them would start working again.

"Who cares? It’s not like any of us can read that gibberish!" Morok acted tough, but he was starting to realize why his father had refused to Awaken him until the young Tyrant would learn to think more with his two brains and less with his two fists.

"Yeah, but at least we could have watched the fucking images!" Quylla would have stabbed him to death if the Odi hadn’t taken everything from her but her Skinwalker armor. And not for a lack of trying. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
