Chapter 3291 Apex (Part 2)

'This is our chance!' Lith and Solus thought in unison. 'The battle isn't split between the strike and the decoy team anymore. The Yggdrasill has to cover the entire space around them or be burned to a crisp.

'On top of that, the World Tree has to use what's left of the shattered arrays' energy sparingly. Once all the runes are spent, no more Tower Tier spells and no time to accumulate the necessary mana to cast arrays of that magnitude.'

With the old Fringe gone and waves of pure world energy filling the new one, the Divine Beasts and Eldritches felt like a huge weight had been lifted from their shoulders.

Their powers were back to their full strength and the Fringe nourished them past their limits. The newcomers greeds of Dragons coordinated with the Fire and Golden Dragons and attacked the World Tree from every side.

They all shared the wrath for Valtak's death and became more enraged every time another Wyrm fell into battle.

To deal with the flaming onslaught, the Yggdrasill rearranged their forces to cover the perimeter of their main body, forming advanced, middle, and rear lines of Wood Golems and elves.

Even though keeping Solus from escaping was still a priority, survival topped that. The number of Divine Beasts now matched that of the Golems and if a formation were to crumble, there would be no time to rearrange the others before it was too late.

The Dragons would exploit the opening for a pincer attack while the second line of Wyrms would take their time to find and kill the Puppets controlling the Golems for good.

To keep the situation from spiraling out of control, the Tree was forced to leave only a few handfuls of thralls to guard the exit in front of Solus.

'Forcing Elphyn in the open now would be a liability. I have to box her in!' The Yggdrasill had its bark grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, closing the hollow leading inside their trunk.

Long vines sprouted from every side, forming a tight net that would slow down any escape attempt until the exit was sealed shut.

'It's now or never!' Lith said via the mind link as he and the others weaved a Chaos Annihilation. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Without the need to keep the world energy free from the will of the World Tree, Lith could focus the full power of the Hands to enhance the strength of his allies and use whatever was left to cast another Ruin.

'Are you kidding me?' Vastor and Orion stood on Lith's shoulders and his request flabbergasted them.

'We have just cast an anti-Guardian spell and even with one head constantly using Invigoration I have yet to recover. How can you still have that much mana left?' The Master asked.

'That's not the real question.' Orion felt dizzy due to mana abuse. 'I'm the only one who has cast two Blade Tiers spells and the power cores of my equipment are barely functional. Even inside a Fringe, they need time to recharge.

'How are you going to fight if your equipment runs out of power in the middle of the battle, Lith?'

'Don't ask questions you know I won't answer and trust me.' Lith replied.

The concerns of his allies were reasonable, but only because they weren't aware he was wielding the Hands of Menadion. The artifact fueled his spells and equipment and hastened their recovery.

'No problem.' Fyrwal and Tessa sent a jolt of silver lightning each, quickly followed by a dumbfounded Orion.

They kept for themselves just enough to preserve their peak strength during the incoming battle and guarantee their survival in case they were forced to retreat.

'Touch the ground, now!' Solus ordered Ghar'mar and the elf complied.

She brushed the grass on the fly, dropping Solus' ring.

The tower started to take form below the ground and the Librarian felt her body brimming with new power.

'This is amazing!' She received information about the various floors of the tower and their abilities became her own the moment they manifested. 'We can do this! We really can!'

'Shut up! You are going to jinx it.' Ripha replied, well aware of how quickly and easily the situation might turn against them again.
