Chapter 366
Kai listened to the man in the sky speaking and felt it hard to accept what he was hearing.
But there he was. This… Ascender Titan.
There was a weight to those words, imparted by what he assumed was magic projecting the speech into his ears, that he couldn’t quite describe. He wanted to just call it magic, but it wasn’t that. It was part tonal emphasis and part stressing of syllables that wasn’t typical of the Noricum lexicon.
It was important. Kai didn’t know why, but he felt like a sword was hanging over his head and was correspondingly on edge, so he held on tightly to any possibly important tidbit and sorted it instinctively.
Kai had seen a lot of things growing up in a rough neighborhood, but he had never imagined that magic was real.
Magic was the thing of stories and legends. It wasn’t real.

The architect part of his mind idly wondered what kind of material that spiderweb was made out of. Nothing had the kind of strength needed to reach the horizon without any kind of support. Or maybe the supports were there, but they were just magically invisible?
Could he get some of those invisible supports?
