At the same time, however, the wall collapsed faster and faster until Lith and Quylla were incapable of keeping up with the speed new openings formed.
When it happened, the life forces rejection triggered the cores which used fusion magic to unravel everything the Healers had done up to that moment.
"Awaken, now!" Lith said while using the Master Hands to conjure a flow of world energy that countered the mana cores and the Mouth to conjure and maintain as many Chisels as he needed without any burden on his focus.
