Chapter 828
When Caster had pushed his golden magic into the core earlier, trying to balance the math, he had damaged the glass housing.The thick glass was covered in deep, jagged cracks. Blinding light was leaking out of the cracks. The machine was highly unstable.Sikoa’s brilliant, survival-trained mind raced. She remembered lying on the cold iron extraction table in the laboratory above.She remembered Elias Thorpe strapping her down and pushing thick silver needles into her arms. She remembered what Caster had told her.“He is bleeding your soul dry to keep his engine from breaking. The machine is mixing red fire and purple ice. It creates massive friction. He needs a lubricant. He needs your stealth-mana to smooth out the chaos.”Sikoa’s magic was stealth. It was the magic of shadows. It hid things. It quieted things down.When Thorpe stole a few drops of her magic, it acted like smooth,
Chapter 827
The pale archivist did not have much life force left. He was bleeding to death. But he had a brilliant mind, and he knew exactly how to create a distraction. Solon raised his heavy brass rod. He pushed the very last, tiny drop of his remaining magic into the clear quartz tip of the rod. He did not aim for Thorpe’s glowing hand. He aimed directly for Thorpe’s good green eye. "For the library!" Solon shouted. A small, invisible shockwave of pure kinetic force shot out of the brass rod. It flew across the short distance. It hit Elias Thorpe directly in the face. The blast was not strong enough to kill the cyborg. It was not even strong enough to hurt him. But it was like a sudden, sharp slap to the face. Thorpe blinked. He flinched backward, turning his head slightly to the left. The glowing red magic in his hand wavered for a split second. "Annoying bug!" Thorpe growled, swatting his hand in the air to block the invisible force. That single, split second of distraction was all Si
Chapter 826
The blue crystal floor of the massive underground cavern was cold. It was covered in dust, broken rocks, and dark blood. Caster Spellbound lay on the floor. He was completely broken. He had used his body to block a massive, explosive beam of dark magic to save his friends. Now, his gray coat was burned to rags. His ribs were shattered. His breathing was incredibly shallow, rattling in his chest with a wet, painful sound. He could not lift his head. He could not move his hands. He was defeated. Standing in front of him were Sikoa and Solon. They were two ordinary, frail humans standing between a dying old man and a monster of infinite power. Elias Thorpe laughed. The sound was terrible. It did not sound like a human laugh. It sounded like heavy iron gears grinding together without oil. It echoed off the high, dark walls of the Grand Archive. Thorpe took a heavy step forward. His giant, mechanical left leg smashed a piece of broken white marble into powder. Hot, angry red steam
Chapter 825
The red blood magic and the purple necrotic ash mixed together, creating a devastating, highly unstable ball of pure destruction. It was the same energy that had melted the solid stone fortress on the surface. And Elias was aiming it point-blank at Caster’s heart. "CASTER!" Sikoa screamed from across the cavern. She began to run toward them, ignoring the reality glitches. "Stay back!" Elias roared at her. Elias looked back at Caster. The madman smiled one final time. "Game over, old friend," Elias said. Elias unleashed the blast. The point-blank explosion of raw core energy was absolute devastation. A massive, thick beam of screaming red and freezing purple light erupted from Elias’s chest. It slammed directly into Caster at zero range. Caster’s eyes went wide. In the final fraction of a second, he desperately pulled every single tiny, remaining drop of his golden magic to the surface of his skin. He threw up a thin, frantic golden shield over his heart. The golden shield sha

Thorpe gasped in surprise. "A lucky guess!" The air shifted above Caster’s head. Caster dropped to the floor, rolling smoothly across the cracked stone. A screaming red beam of blood magic shot over him, missing his back by an inch. He jumped up. He felt the vibrations in the floor. He felt the heavy, thudding footsteps of the cyborg approaching from his blind spot. Caster spun around. He thrust his golden sword forward into the empty space. The sword hit something solid. Caster opened his eyes. The reality glitch faded for a single second. The room returned to normal. Caster was standing exactly two feet away from Elias Thorpe. Caster’s golden, alchemically treated sword was buried deep inside Elias Thorpe’s right shoulder. It was the only part of Thorpe’s body that was still human flesh. The glowing blade cut through the red leather coat. It pierced deep into the muscle and bone. Golden light burned the corrupted blood inside the wound. Caster stared into Elias’s single g
Chapter 823
Caster was using the golden seed inside his chest. The golden magic was pure and powerful, but Caster’s human body was incredibly frail. Every time he moved with magical speed, his muscles tore. Every time he swung the sword, his heart stuttered. He was an old man burning his own life force just to stay in the game. But Elias Thorpe was a monster. The Planar Fusion Core in his chest gave him infinite energy. He did not get tired. His mechanical limbs did not feel muscle pain. And Thorpe was angry. He was tired of missing his target. "I will not let you dodge me anymore!" Thorpe screamed. The spinning red and purple core in Thorpe’s chest suddenly shrieked. It sounded like tearing metal. Thorpe raised his giant brass arm. He did not point it at Caster. He pointed it at the empty air in the middle of the room. Thorpe unleashed a massive blast of sick, twisted, gray planar magic. The magic hit the air. The fabric of reality in the cavern literally tore open. The rules of the ph
