2898 Artificial Guardian (Part 2)

In the years since his release, Thaymos had fed upon countless monsters whose cores now belonged to him.

'He's different from the Golden Griffon.' Leegaain said. 'While Arthan's academy preserved the mana cores of its students to make them into the Mad King's immortal army, this thing takes them for himself in the attempt to force his way to Guardianhood.'

'Can he do it?' Tyris clenched her beak in disgust.

'Of course not, but power is still power.' Leegaain replied. 'Beware, as long as the Black Tide lives, his force and mana are endless. Even if you slaughter every single monster, it's not going to solve anything.

'He'll become stronger than ever and no seal can completely cut off the flow of world energy, only limit it. It's only a matter of time before that lost city frees itself, finds another monster tide, and starts over.

'Zagran did the right thing by just pushing him away and you should do the same.'

'I see. Thank you, young lizard.' Tyris sighed, shaking her head in sadness.

["I admit to have underestimated you, Guardian."] The Eternal Fortress crackled with new power as he grew a blade from his left forearm and a shield from the right. ["Zagran may be better than you, but you are still a worthy opponent.

["Do you have the guts to fight me until the end or are you going to run away with my core like she would do?"]

["I'm going to fight you until the end."] Tyris released a second stream of Life Maelstrom on herself, charging her body and core with new power.

["Excellent! Our battle will last for hours."] Thaymos laughed in excitement.

["No."] Tyris replied. ["It won't."]

A flash of light erupted from her body, washing over the monster tide and turning millions and millions of living beings into ashes in the span of a second. The blackness of their bodies faded like night shadows in front of the sun, leaving no trace of their previous existence.

["You are insane! Funny, but insane."] The mana cores of the dead stacked on Thaymos' core as they were assimilated along with the power they carried. ["Thanks to you I've reached new heights. I'm one step closer to my goal!"]

Tyris ignored the mockery that followed, the time for words was over.

She raised her right hand to the sky and opened her pocket dimension. Thaymos' laugh died in his stony throat as winter turned into summer and night into day.

Even from Garlen, a shiver ran down Leegaain's spine, and from the moon, Fenagar activated the defensive systems of his lair.

"What's that? A morning star?"Zagran asked while pointing at the spiked mace in the Griffon's hand.

"No." Salaark replied. "That's THE Morning Star."
