Chapter 481
The wave of decay was almost at the edge of the city. It had turned thousands of homes to gray dust. "Turn," Caster commanded the living sigil. He pushed both of his hands forward. The massive, spinning Runic Inversion Sigil flared with a blinding, incredible light.It did not shoot a beam like a telescope. It acted like a giant projector. It projected a massive, glowing copy of itself into the sky directly over the entire capital city.A giant wheel of black, gray, and silver light hovered over the falling ruins of the Sage Tower. It spun perfectly.The invisible wave of deadly entropy hit the giant, glowing sigil.And then, the impossible happened.The Runic Inversion Sigil did not block the decay. It caught the decay in its spinning gears, and it flipped it backward.It turned the law of entropy completely inside out.Decay is the process of things breaking down into nothing. The sigil grabbed that breaking energy, and it turned it into expenditure. It turned death into pure, raw

"The Runic Inversion Sigil must be alive," Caster said. "It must be written in motion. It must spin."Lysane understood. Her brilliant mind grasped the complex math instantly. "A three-dimensional rune. A living gear made of magic.""Yes," Caster said. "And I am going to draw it right now."He stepped into the exact center of the blue stone platform. He stood directly under the broken brass telescope. Above him, the stars shone brightly.Caster raised both of his arms. He spread his fingers wide.He was going to do the impossible. He was going to rewrite the oldest law of nature."I need three things," Caster said. His grinding voice echoed across the mountain peak. "I need an anchor. I need a counterweight. And I need a stabilizer."Caster closed his eyes."First, the anchor," he declared.He reached into his own chest with his mind. He grabbed the new, pitch-black diamond mana core that he had forged from the Ash Plane. It was heavy. It was unbreakable.He pushed the power of his bl
Chapter 479
The Sage Tower fell. Millions of tons of pure white marble crashed into the dark earth. The noise was louder than thunder. It was louder than a hundred thunderstorms happening at the exact same time. The ground shook so violently that people in the streets of the capital city were thrown into the air.Thick, blinding clouds of white dust and gray ash exploded upward. The city was completely swallowed by the smoke of its own destruction.Deep under the mountain of broken rocks, Caster Spellbound stood in the dark.He was not crushed. The heavy marble blocks could not touch him. He was no longer a mortal man made of flesh and bone. He was a being of pure, inverted fire and dark ash. The heavy stones simply passed through his glowing body or healed themselves when they came close.He had done it. He had drawn the Unfinished Rune. He had swallowed the explosion of the Mana Core. He had saved the city from the magical bomb.His human mind was almost completely gone. He was cold. He was ab

"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.

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
