Bab 281: Sending into the Void

The Sun Drops inside the dome pulsed with a radiant energy that filled the room as the rest of the device itself seemed ready to collapse into many shards along the fault line of the crack already present. Within the shimmering liquid, there was no mistaking the danger that lay in its concentrated power.

Karvus adjusted his stance, his eyes narrowing at the faint web of cracks that crept along the dome's surface. The manic grin he'd maintained mostly until now faded, replaced by a look of intense concentration. "Not sure even I can coax this one into a safe little implosion without something going wrong," he murmured, scratching his head.

Lassim's mind raced. They'd managed to dismantle each device so far by leveraging Karvus' unusual technique, using the controlled explosions to collapse the devices inward or outward, depending on Karvus' preference, before they could consider the instabilities fully dealt with.
