Chapter 671
I watch the black cube that Ember called an amplifier pulse with yellow and white light, moving for the first time since I found it underground in its tomb.
The static noise of a telepathy channel between myself and the cube flickers in my mind, but the glow fades, and the channel severs less than a second later.
I yell at it as the temperature in the room rises, and the flaming attacks Redgrave throws at the ceiling wrap around the room's outside and come my way at the outer wall.
"Atom? What was that? Now would be the time to show yourself!"
I tap the cube with my outstretched sword, but it just bounces off and rotates in the opposite direction like before.
I grit my teeth and fly forward before the wall of incoming flames from above hits me, charging up my restored blood-bonded weapons again, wracking my brain for new ideas because whatever just happened with the amplifier isn't within my control.
My sudden movements snap Redgrave out of his manic dances, and his expression turns cold and focused once again.
A streak of divine flames rockets my way, so I do the only thing I can and form my hexagonal defenses again, swinging both my swords at full power to block his strike.
My only option is to block. His speed and raw True Core power are far stronger than my own.
