Chapter 478
"I see it now," Caster whispered into the empty air. He sent his final thoughts up the orange rope to Lysane. "Lysane. The Tower forced the magic to stay awake. The Warden just wants the magic to sleep."“What are you talking about?” Lysane asked frantically. “Caster, focus! The core is about to blow!”"If you fight a river by building a dam," Caster explained, his mind perfectly clear and perfectly calm, "the water builds up. The pressure grows. Eventually, the dam breaks, and the flood destroys the whole valley. That is what Archmage Vane did. That is why the core is going to explode."Caster raised his hands. The pale white fire burned brilliantly against the dark sky."But you do not have to fight a river," Caster said. "If you dig a new trench... if you give the water a safe path to the ocean... it will flow exactly where you want it to go. It will not destroy the valley. It will just find its rest."“Caster, you are running out of time! Your soul is collapsing!” Lysane screamed.
Chapter 477
Lysane looked at her own hands. She did not have blue Tower magic. But she had her own life force. And she was a Master of Wards. She knew how to build a bridge."Finn," Lysane ordered. "Gather the other children. Stand back. Do not touch the orange light."Finn nodded quickly and pulled the children to the far edge of the Observatory.Lysane slammed her hands onto the stone floor. She dug deep into her own heart. She pulled out her warm, glowing orange magic."By the bond of blood and mind," Lysane chanted. She was sweating heavily. "I cast a line into the dark!"A bright, glowing orange rope of pure magic shot out of her hands. It tied itself to one of the silver lines carved into the floor. Then, the other end of the orange rope shot straight through the white starlight shield.The orange rope flew down the mountain like a shooting star. It cut through the thick gray ash.Down below, Caster was floating just above the broken roofs of the First Ring. He was looking at the massive, s
Chapter 476
Caster Spellbound floated down from the high mountain peak. He did not fall. He did not fly like a bird. He simply told gravity that it did not apply to him anymore, and gravity obeyed.He was a pillar of pale, inverted fire. The bright white flames cast deep, pitch-black shadows across the dark blue stone of the mountain. Behind him, the forty-nine giant Ashbound Sentinels marched in perfect silence. Their heavy stone boots crushed the rocks, but they did not make a single sound. They were completely bound to Caster’s new, terrifying will.As Caster descended toward the dying capital city, the world around him began to warp and change.His presence was no longer human. He had opened his soul and drank the raw power of the Ash Plane. He had become a walking dimension. And reality did not know how to handle him.A massive chunk of broken white marble, the size of a wagon, fell from the splitting Sage Tower high above. It tumbled through the dark air, spinning violently, heading straig
Chapter 475
The monster raised both of its hands and grabbed its own head. It let out a sound.It was a terrifying, loud, grinding scream. But it was not a scream of anger. It was a scream of agony and confusion.Then, the scream stopped.The dark figure dropped its hands. It stood perfectly straight.Lysane held her breath. The silence was heavier than the noise.The featureless black mask of the monster slowly tilted down. It looked directly at Lysane through the white shield.The pale gray flames in the eye sockets changed.They stopped looking like blind, dead fire. They narrowed. They focused. They looked exactly like a pair of sharp, intelligent human eyes.And then, the monster spoke.It did not use the layered, grinding voice of a thousand dead souls.It used a single, clear voice. It was deep, it was raspy, and it was incredibly tired."Lysane."Lysane gasped. She dropped the heavy Foundations book onto the stone floor. She slammed both of her hands flat against the glowing shield."Cast
Chapter 474
When Caster accepted the memories, the second wave hit him. Entropy is the law of nature that says everything must eventually break down. It is the law that turns mountains into dust. It is the law that makes iron rust, wood rot, and stars die.The raw entropy flooded into Caster’s body.He felt his own physical cells screaming. He felt his bones trying to turn to powder. He felt his blood trying to freeze into solid black ice. The cold was so absolute, it burned worse than a raging fire.He felt the dust of a billion dead planets. He tasted the ashes of burnt forests."Break me, then," Caster thought. "If I must break to hold you, then break me."The entropy rushed into his chest.Every Tower mage is born with a mana core. It is a small, invisible engine of blue light near the heart. It is the muscle that pumps magic through the body.Caster’s blue mana core had been small and tired for many years.When the raw entropy of the Ash Plane hit his blue mana core, the core could not hold
Chapter 473
The black hand pressed against the glowing white dome of starlight. Inside the Sky Observatory, the children screamed. Little Finn pulled Elara tightly against his chest, shutting his eyes. The older junior mages backed away until they hit the cold stone wall. There was nowhere left to run.Archmage Lysane stood at the very edge of the white shield. She was only inches away from the dark monster outside.She stared into the face of the creature. It had no eyes, no nose, no mouth. It was just a smooth mask of pitch-black void. The pale gray flames that burned where its eyes should be looked down at her. Above its head, the heavy Crown of Cinders spun slowly in the freezing wind.This was the Ash Warden. And it was wearing the body of her oldest friend."Caster," Lysane whispered. Her voice shook. Tears fell down her dirty cheeks. "Caster, please. If you are in there... fight it."The dark monster did not answer. The black hand pushed harder against the white starlight.Hiss!The pure
