Chapter 780
Caster looked down at his own hands resting on the crystal console. They were not glowing with warm golden light. Thick, heavy, pitch-black smoke was pouring out of his fingertips. It was the necrotic ash. It was the exact same dark, toxic, dead magic that made up the body of the Ash Warden. The pure essence of consequence and death was leaking directly out of Caster’s pores. "No!" Caster panicked. He tried to pull his hands away, but the magic was stuck to the glass. The black ash flooded into the master crystal. The beautiful, perfect crystal console let out a sharp, terrible sound. A deep, jagged crack ripped right down the middle of the glass. The black ash shot into the hologram. The giant blue globe above them instantly turned a sick, bruised purple color. The massive map spun wildly out of control. The dark magic did not follow Caster’s careful, mathematical instructions. It reacted with raw, violent chaos. The spinning, corrupted globe suddenly created a massive spatial

12. 11. 10.The glowing blue numbers floated in the air. They were counting down to the absolute end of the world. Elias Thorpe roared. The madman was a horrifying mix of melted flesh and heavy, broken steel. The cracked Planar Fusion Core in his chest screamed with chaotic red and purple light. He raised his massive brass arm. He did not care about the countdown. He only cared about killing Caster Spellbound. "Die, Caster!" Thorpe shrieked, swinging his heavy metal fist directly at Caster’s head. Caster ducked. He dropped to his knees on the smooth white stone of the central platform. The giant brass fist flew over his head, missing his gray hair by an inch. The wind from the punch was so strong it knocked Caster’s breath away. 9. 8. 7. The numbers blinked faster. The massive, spherical room of the Grand Archive shook so violently that the walls began to crack. Huge pieces of white stone rained down from the ceiling. "Caster, do something!" Sikoa screamed. She was standing behi

Caster threw his hand forward. He pushed a concentrated beam of golden gravity directly under Sikoa’s falling body. The invisible golden force caught her in mid-air. It pushed her upward, carrying her across the remaining distance. Sikoa crashed into Caster. They both fell hard onto the stone platform. Caster groaned in pain, the golden light in his eyes flickering out as he let go of the heavy magic. "You crazy old man," Sikoa gasped, pushing herself up. "Open the hatch," Caster ordered, pointing at the iron wheel. Sikoa grabbed the rusted wheel with both of her bandaged hands. She planted her boots. She pulled with every single ounce of muscle in her body. She roared with effort. The rusted iron broke free. The wheel turned. Sikoa grabbed the heavy iron handle and pulled the hatch open. A blast of incredibly hot, dry air blew out of the dark hole. It smelled like ancient dust and pure, raw ozone. Caster looked down into the hole. There was a narrow metal ladder leading st

"Yes," Caster said. As soon as Caster spoke the word, the physical world inside the Grand Archive began to break. The sheer weight of the corrupted data flooding the network was too much for reality to handle. The room began to glitch. It did not happen smoothly. It happened with violent, terrifying jerks. Sikoa looked down at her hands. She was holding the heavy iron crank of the generator. But suddenly, her hands were not there. For one split second, Sikoa’s hands turned completely transparent. She could see the stone floor right through her own flesh and bone. She let out a short scream of panic. Her hands became solid again. The heavy iron crank slipped from her sweaty grip. "My hands!" Sikoa gasped, staring at her fingers. "They vanished!""The world is forgetting how to hold its shape!" Caster shouted. "The rules are breaking down!"A heavy wooden reading table on the balcony suddenly turned into a puddle of clear water. The water splashed onto the floor. Two seconds later,

"Yes," Caster said. "They stored the exact rule of gravity inside the network. They stored the exact speed of light. They stored the rule that fire must be hot. The network is an invisible skeleton buried inside the earth. It forces the physical world to obey the rules. It keeps reality stable."Solon read the next line of the glowing blue text. Tears filled the pale archivist’s eyes. "But a machine that holds the weight of the universe requires infinite power," Solon read aloud, his voice trembling with sorrow. "Raw mana from the earth was not enough. To power the Memory Vaults... the founders had to use the heaviest magic in existence."Caster finished the sentence for him. "They used their own souls," Caster whispered. The silence in the room felt heavier than the shaking stone walls. "The ancient founders did not just build the network," Caster explained. "They plugged themselves into it. They gave up their own lives. They trapped their own human souls inside the nodes to act a
Chapter 775
The bright blue numbers floated in the air above the giant holographic globe. They were counting down. With every second that passed, the massive, spherical room of the Grand Archive shook more violently. Dust rained down from the high ceiling like a gray snowstorm. The thick, heavy stone walls groaned. The sound was deafening. It sounded like the entire planet was grinding its teeth together. Caster Spellbound stood on the central platform. He stared at the numbers. He was a brilliant Archmage. He had lived for two hundred years. But right now, he felt completely helpless. He had no blue magic. His body was broken and bleeding. Thirty minutes until the world turned to atomic dust. "We have to stop the timer!" Sikoa shouted. The brave rogue stood on the balcony. She had dropped her sharp steel daggers. She was holding the heavy iron crank of the portable kinetic generator. "I am trying!" Solon coughed. The tall, thin archivist was kneeling on the stone floor next to the brass ge
