Supreme Magus novel Chapter 723

The colossi moved towards her, but Quylla’s next move froze them on the spot. Instead of infusing her armor with mana to better defend herself, she shapeshifted it off, remaining in her underwear. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

The Golems’ first priority was her safety, they couldn’t harm her. They stepped back as she advanced until they had their backs against the wall. They couldn’t touch her without being deactivated but there was no spell in their arsenal weak enough to not kill a half-naked normal human.

Constructs had no access to first magic, only to the spells that they had been imbued with and Flesh Golems were war machines. Quylla placed her hands on them and turned the normally unstoppable dreadnoughts into huge piles of stone in a split second.

Only when she was sure that they posed no threat to her did she put her armor back on. Then, she used a Float spell on the Golems and brought them to the Reactor’s upper floor.

"How the heck did you manage to capture two constructs without a scratch?" Morok’s genuine surprise at the sight of the Golems made her sigh in relief. Quylla was afraid he might have been following her and peeped the whole scene.

"Finesse." She replied. "Now our question is if it’s better to throw them both at once or one at a time and study how the Reactor behaves before making a final attempt."

Quylla used both Scanner and her Forgemastering spell to search for a self-destruct mechanism. As a Forgemaster, she knew how important it was to not give the enemy the opportunity to study a masterpiece.

Once she found the mechanism, she placed the constructs on the hatch before triggering it. The people grafted inside the Golems looked at her with eyes filled with gratitude, almost making Quylla feel guilty.

In any other time, she would have worried about finding a way to save them from their destiny and give their body back to them. Almost. She was now at war, and no matter her oath as a Healer or how innocent those people were, they still remained her enemies.

The hatch opened, making the Flesh Golems fall on the inner metal door that unlocked as soon as the outer door was closed. The constructs fell down into the pit the Mana Reactor was, filled with world energy, elemental forces, and the emerald green light of mana.

Their flesh was instantly consumed while their stone bodies withstood the maelstrom around them long enough to almost reach the bottom of the Reactor. The following explosion broke the balance between the three energies at work, forcing the machine to a stop.

The Reactor was still full of mana, but no more would be produced until the emergency wasn’t solved. The world energy was now free to return where it belonged, making the shaking of the ground increase as a silver pillar of light descended from the sky, right above Lith’s position.

There was a reason why the Odi had been forced to merge all in one body, why they had abandoned their research in a hurry, and why almost no trace of their passage but ruins remained.

During the great war, while the people of the Galen continent fought for their freedom and the Odi did their worst to prolong the existence of their dying race, Mogar had passed its judgment on them, deeming them unworthy.

The Guardians had mobilized, ending the war that would have lasted a few more years in a matter of hours. The Odi knew about the Guardians, as well as that the only way they had to fight against such powerful creatures was to use the Guardians’ best weapon against them.

By trapping the world energy in the Mana Reactor, not only did they achieve the key to unlimited power, but they also hid from both Mogar and its Guardians. Even in the case that Kulah where to be discovered, the Odi believed that they had enough weapons to take the Guardians on and beat them at their own game.
