Chapter 671
But Caster touched the simple silver ring on his right index finger. The master kill-switch. If he used the golden magic to activate the ring, every single one of those blue shields would instantly turn off. The armor would freeze into solid iron. Those cheering boys would become helpless statues. And the next red beam would burn them all alive. "I gave them a shield," Caster whispered sadly to himself. "And now I hold the knife to cut it away."He could not think about the war right now. He had a promise to keep. Caster left the Market Square. He ran down the long, winding Avenue of Mages. He finally reached the Street of Alchemists. The street was completely devastated. The beautiful, neat brick houses were smashed. Deep, jagged craters ripped the cobblestone road apart. Thick, twisted pillars of red bone stuck out of the ground like the ribs of a giant, dead beast. The air was incredibly hot. The buildings burned with unnatural red fire that did not produce smoke, only a sick,
Chapter 670
Caster Spellbound stood in the freezing rain. He watched the young boy, Leo, run south. The boy’s blue robes disappeared into the dark shadows of the broken city wall. Leo was safe. He was heading for the wild lands. Caster turned around. He looked toward the west. The massive, walking mountain of red steel and black iron stood outside the capital city. The Crimson Engine. It was firing its terrible, heavy cannons. Thick beams of screaming, bloody red magic slammed into the white stone walls of Glassview. The walls bubbled, mutated into sharp bone, and crumbled to dust. Caster gripped his broken wooden walking stick. He needed to get inside that machine. He needed to find the catalyst. He had to stop his old friend, Elias Thorpe, from burning a million innocent souls. He took one step forward. Then, he stopped. His gray eyes widened. His heart skipped a beat. He looked down at his dirty, wet boots. He remembered the dark, rushing water in the Grand Aqueduct. He remembered the ter
Chapter 659
Caster and Leo stared in pure, absolute awe and horror. Standing just outside the city walls, towering over the massive stone defenses, was a nightmare made of iron and fire. It was the Crimson Engine. The walking mountain had arrived. It was bigger than Caster could have ever imagined. It was a massive fortress resting on eight giant, hydraulic steel legs. Heavy black smoke poured from a dozen tall chimneys. The giant glass tanks on the sides of the machine glowed with blinding red light. Thousands of human souls were burning inside, screaming in eternal agony to power the beast. Dozens of heavy, twisted brass cannons were mounted on the front of the machine. The cannons were firing point-blank into the white city walls. The red energy beams hit the walls. The unbreakable white stone mutated instantly. It bubbled, turned to flesh and red bone, and then crumbled to dust. The Glassview army was trying to fight back. Thousands of soldiers stood on the walls, firing their blue mag
Chapter 658
The dark water was glowing with a faint, sick, bloody red light. The light was not coming from the blue crystals on the ceiling. It was coming from deep inside the water itself. It looked like someone had poured a million gallons of glowing red paint into the river. "Why is it red?" Leo asked, stepping closer to the edge. "Get away from the edge!" Caster roared. He lunged forward and grabbed the back of Leo’s blue robes. He yanked the boy violently backward, pulling him away from the rushing water. The exact second Caster pulled him back, the water exploded. A terrifying, high-pitched scream echoed through the brick tunnel. Something burst out of the red glowing water. It was not a fish. It was an abomination. It was a creature made of twisted, jagged red bone and boiling, bloody water. It had no eyes. It had a massive, gaping mouth filled with hundreds of sharp, needle-like teeth. It looked like a nightmare born from the deepest, sickest part of the ocean. The monster snapped
Chapter 657
Caster raised his broken wooden walking stick. He threw it like a spear. The wooden stick flew through the smoky air. It hit the glass jar. The jar shattered. The thick, flammable oil splashed all over the stone floor and the wooden stairs. The burning wood from the broken door above fell onto the spilled oil. A massive, brilliant wall of bright orange fire exploded between Caster and the soldiers. The flames shot ten feet into the air, completely blocking the soldiers' view. The intense heat forced the soldiers to stumble backward up the stairs, screaming in surprise. "He is burning the cellar!" the soldier yelled. Caster did not wait. He dropped to the floor and scrambled headfirst into the dark hole in the brick wall. He pulled his legs inside. He reached out and grabbed the loose bricks. Working blindly in the dark, he stacked the bricks back into the hole, closing the exit perfectly. The roaring sound of the fire instantly became muffled and quiet. Caster was in complete
Chapter 656
"I prepared an exit for you, Master," Dorrin’s hologram whispered quickly. The old butler in the recording was rushing. "I knew you might need to escape. Go to the back wall. Go behind the large, empty wine casks. I loosened the heavy bricks near the floor. Pull them out. There is a very old maintenance tunnel behind them. It follows the main water pipe all the way to the city aqueducts."Caster’s eyes went wide. He looked toward the dark back wall of the basement. There were three massive, empty wooden wine casks sitting in the corner. He had never moved them. "Do not fight them, Master Caster," Dorrin’s hologram smiled. It was a gentle, kind smile. "You always try to carry the whole world on your shoulders. But sometimes, a good house stands on a strong foundation, not on high walls. Go into the dark. Stay safe. Save the world."The old butler bowed deeply in the blue light. "It was an honor to sweep your floors," Dorrin whispered. The blue light flickered. The hologram vanished
