Chapter 1252 - Demons’ Horde (Part 2) (1/2)
Tyris wasn't affected by either spell and could move freely whereas it was only a matter of time before he would be squashed like a bug between Fire Titan and Castle of Light.
Fenagar released all the spells he had at the ready, attacking the construct from the inside and from the outside at the same time. Castle of Light started to crack, letting precious water in, when Tyris's claws dug deep into his scales, ravaging the Leviathan's flesh with thunder and darkness.
”Do you want water? Let's see how much of it I can squeeze out of your blood!” Tyris pinned him down while her beak worked its way through his neck. Fenagar writhed and struggled with all of his might, never losing control of his spells.
Even with all of her fury and skill, Tyris failed to deal a lethal blow and with each passing second, more water entered the sealed space, restoring the Leviathan's strength.
Only when the construct emerged from the ocean and all the precious liquid that he had fought so hard to acc.u.mulate fell through the very cracks he had opened did Fenagar accept his fate.
”I yield.” That was all he said after ceasing his pointless struggle.
”Yet I'm far from done!” Tyris couldn't care less if Mogar had to find a new Guardian, her rage demanded satisfaction.
As she ripped through bone and muscles, a silver pillar descended from the skies and pierced through the ocean until Kolga could see the moon for the first time since it had been founded.
The consciousness of all Guardians and even of those who bore a white core was forcefully dragged to the battlefield where the unliving and the undead fought for their right to exist.

Lith knew that a world tribulation wouldn't do him any good by itself, but its activation gave him all the means he needed to turn the tide of the battle.
He had experienced enough tribulations to know that even if for a brief second, the sudden surge of world energy around him would be so dense that it would push all the enemies surrounding him away.
As the silver and black pillars sent the Kolgans flying, all of Lith's seven eyes opened, yet the last two still lacked the power of the elements. At the same time, his body grew its wings, tail, and horns until they were fully developed.
Lith exploited that moment to use Invigoration and restore his strength. He took just one short breath, but one imbued with world energy so dense that it carried Mogar's consciousness.
The Guardians didn't like their show being interrupted during its climax, but what replaced the fight between the Griffon and the Leviathan seemed to be equally interesting. They munched their salty snacks, eager to discover what the anomaly had in store for them.
'What the f.u.c.k?' Silverwing didn't know whether to be angry or happy for it. 'That thing can undergo world tribulations as I did? If he fails, Epphy can't blame me for his death and maybe she'll follow me of her own will.
'Yet if he succeeds, he might reach heights where not even I can follow him.' She crossed her fingers and wished for the best. Her own, of course.
The members of the Council were so shocked by the appearance of the silver pillar that they almost forgot about the streak of natural disasters that closed in by the second.
Almost.
