Chapter 468
The bright blue light spreading across the ceiling suddenly stopped. It did not fade away. It hit an invisible wall.In the center of the glowing blue crystal, right in the very middle of the pure light, a tiny black spot appeared.It looked like a drop of black ink falling into a glass of clean water.Vane frowned. He pushed his hands closer to the crystal, trying to force more blue magic into it. "Keep pushing!" he yelled to the others.But the black spot grew.It did not just grow; it spun. It spun exactly like the giant dark helix of ash wrapping around the Tower outside."Vane," Liora whispered, her voice shaking with pure terror. "The command phrases... they are changing."Vane looked down at the stone floor around the crystal.When they cast the spell, bright blue magical words had appeared on the floor. They were the Authority Sigils. They were the ancient words that proved the Archmages owned the Tower.But the bright blue letters were twisting.They were turning upside down.
Chapter 467
The Golden Room at the very top of the Sage Tower was completely ruined.Just one day ago, this room was the most beautiful place in the world. It had clean white marble floors. It had a giant, floating table made of pure gold. It had bright, warm blue lights that made the Archmages look like gods.Now, the room looked like a dark, dirty cave.The floating golden table had crashed to the floor. The heavy glass windows were shattered. The freezing wind howled through the broken glass, carrying thick handfuls of dark gray ash into the room.Archmage Vane stood in the center of the mess. His perfect white robes were covered in dirt and soot. His silver hair was wild and messy. He looked around at the other Archmages of the High Council.Only six of them were left. The others had run away, or they had been swallowed by the dark ash when the floor broke.Archmage Liora sat on the cold floor, hugging her knees. She was crying. Her tears left clean tracks in the gray dust on her face."It is

"It needs its vessel," Caster said. "It knows I am coming down. It knows I am heading for the Mana Core. If the Tower falls right now, I die under a million tons of white marble. The vessel gets crushed before the god can wear it."Lysane’s eyes widened. "The golems...""The golems are not hunters," Caster finished. "They are prison guards. They are sealing the exits so no one can escape. They are herding the survivors into the center of the Rings, keeping them trapped like cattle in a pen. And they are protecting the structural nodes to make sure the building stays standing just long enough for me to reach the basement."Lysane felt sick to her stomach. The intelligence of the dark god was terrifying. It was not a wild storm. It was a cold, calculating machine. It was preserving the stage for its own birth."It is cleaning the house for you," Lysane whispered."Yes," Caster said. He stood up. "Which means they will not kill me. They might even let me pass. We have to keep moving."Ca

It did not just break and fall to the floor. The white marble peeled away like dry, dead skin. Big chunks of stone hit the ground, revealing what was hiding underneath.It was not a stone statue anymore.Underneath the white marble, a new body was forming. It was made entirely of thick, dark gray ash.The ash was compressed so tightly it looked like solid iron. But it was constantly moving, swirling and smoking around the edges. The giant knight did not have a human face. Under its gray ash helmet, there was only empty darkness, with two glowing purple holes where its eyes should be.CRACK. CRASH. BOOM.All around the massive room, the other forty-nine statues began to break. The beautiful white marble shattered.Fifty giant Ashbound Sentinels stepped down from their stone bases.They were huge. They were silent. They held massive swords made of solid, sharp dark magic.Caster grabbed Lysane’s arm and pulled her behind a fallen chunk of white marble. They crouched in the dark, holding

The glass and bronze lift moved down. It was leaving the clean, freezing air of the Sky Observatory. It was leaving the beautiful, indifferent stars. It was dropping back down into the dark, screaming world below.Caster Spellbound stood by the glass door. He looked down. The massive, thick cloud of dark gray ash rushed up to meet them. It looked like a boiling, dirty ocean. In a few seconds, the lift plunged right into the cloud.The bright starlight vanished. Everything outside the glass turned pitch black.Inside the lift, the only light came from the dark, glowing black veins on Caster’s arms. The closer they got to the earth, the harder his heart beat. The heavy, terrible pressure inside his blood was returning. The Ash Warden was waiting for him.Archmage Lysane stood behind him. She held the heavy Foundations book tightly against her chest. She watched the black veins glowing under Caster’s pale skin."How much time do we have?" Lysane asked. Her voice was very quiet in the sm
Chapter 463
The thick, black beam of magic shooting out of the telescope gave one final, sick sputter, and then it died.The telescope went completely dark. The clear glass lenses inside shattered into a million pieces. The sound of breaking glass was sharp and terrible.TINK. TINK. CRASH.The pieces of broken glass fell out of the viewing ports and hit the blue stone floor.The venting had stopped. The pipe was closed."No," Lysane whispered. She backed away from the broken brass machine. "No, no, no."The silence on the mountain peak returned. The cold wind blew against their faces.But the silence did not last long.Down below, miles away in the dark, dying city, the pressure inside the Mana Core reached its absolute limit. The dark ash had nowhere to go. The bomb was fully loaded.DOOOOOOOOOOM.It was not a sound you could hear with your ears. It was a sound you felt in your soul.It was a massive, violent shockwave.It started at the very bottom of the Sage Tower. It rippled outward. It tore
