Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4330

Chapter 4330: Cursed Carrion (Part 2)

Jorl took the brunt of the damage, shielding the other Upyrs with the new equipment that the Black Throne had crafted for him after enhancing its power cores with a bolt of silver lightning.

The Storm Griffon had the mass and strength advantage, but each blast hit like a truck and was as hot as magma. When the constructs’ crystals ran out of world energy, Jorl had suffered major burns, and the air in the Vault was barely breathable.

"Charge! We need to break past the blockade before-" He coughed, yet that wasn’t the reason he stopped talking.

The Golems of the Firewall Formation had already received fresh crystals and finished charging up their mana cannons. Jorl was about to warn his companions when the Golems fired again.

At the keep’s entrance, at the same time.

"Something is wrong with my body." Solus felt as if acid flowed through her veins, making her nauseous and dizzy. "Whatever it is, it’s getting worse by the second. I’m getting worse."

"Ragnarök, are you okay?" Lith used his breathing technique on himself and the angry blade, but found nothing wrong.

"I’m fine." Ragnarök clicked its straps as if it were sniffing the air. "Staff?"

"Me fine!" It replied. "World energy weird, though. Tastes weird."

"Since when?" Lith asked.

"Since light turned red."

"The Fusion Reactor, Epphy." Menadion rushed to her daughter’s side. "Use the Fusion Reactor to supply your tower side and only that with untainted world energy."

Solus was in too much pain to listen to Menadion, her eyes rolling back and her mouth foaming. She was no cursed object, but her bond with a mage tower made her the closest thing to the Cursed Carrion array’s true target.

"Lith!"

"On it!" The Tiamat placed his hand over the crystal on Solus’ palm and ordered the tower to tap into the Reactor’s reserves.

Solus regained her senses with a deep gasp, coughing up the poisoned energy of the Cursed Carrion array that flowed in the living aspects of her life force.

"The Golems are coming. All of them!" Nalrond pointed at the battle formation of approaching Soldiers, Arrays, Maintenance, and Fixers.

"Dimensional magic is sealed!" Quylla tried and failed to open a Warp to Morok’s mural.

"The space is compressed tighter than Lith’s coin purse!" Morok tried and failed to open a Spirit Steps to the same destination. "Lith was right. Teneb’s enemy was a powerful Awakened, and the Invincible King sealed all the ways out!"

"The only silver lining is that our equipment is unaffected by whatever knocked Solus out cold." Tista said. "Yet that’s not going to help us much if we let the Golems surround us.

"You guys think of a way to get us out of here. I’m going to buy you some time." She rushed out of the door, growing to her full size.

The Hekate reached a height of 30 meters (100’) and swung her battle claws, Firefang. The air pressure generated by the mere motion stopped the advance of the Soldiers, sending the Fixer and Maintenance Golems tumbling across the Armory’s streets.

’All of this with a single swing of my arms and a fraction of the Origin Flames stored inside Firefang.’ Tista smirked in triumph.

’This is nothing like Kulah.’ Morok conjured a mind link not to waste time talking. ’While the Odi used their perverse human experiments to create jack of all trades Golems that could adapt to every situation, Teneb took the opposite route.

’His Golems are highly specialized and can perform a single task, but he created so many different kinds of constructs that their teamwork makes them as good as a real army.’
