Chapter 497 : A-Rank Talent
Chapter 497: A-Rank Talent
Hearing Janna’s words, the other two also turned their heads toward her.
"My wizard talent is 【Spirit Traverse】. As long as there is a clear coordinate location, I can directly bring your spirits there."
Upon hearing this, Hela-Helheim’s eyes couldn’t help but glimmer slightly.
"You mean, even if the coordinates are located deep in the universe, your talent can still take us there?"
"In theory, yes."
At that moment, Louis-Tulan, who had just figured out what Janna’s talent could do, widened his eyes in astonishment.
"What an incredible wizard talent! How come I’ve never heard of it before?"
As someone who possessed the 【Phoenix】 bloodline, Louis-Tulan’s bloodline potential far surpassed his own B-level 【Regeneration】 talent. Therefore, he had never paid much attention to his own 【Wizard Talent】—and even less so to that of others.
"【Spirit Traverse】 is an A-rank 【Mystic Side】 wizard talent. When you participated in the Transfiguration Trial before, didn’t you research the other participants’ talents in advance?"
"So it’s an A-rank talent… no wonder it’s so powerful—if you knew that much, why didn’t you think of this earlier?"
"There are very few records about the abilities of the 【Mystic Side】 talents, and even fewer about something as rare as 【Spirit Traverse】. It’s quite normal that I didn’t know much about it."
Just as Hela-Helheim said, in the wizarding world, most wizard apprentices awakened talents belonging to either the 【Elemental Side】 or the 【Bloodline Side】, while the 【Mystic Side】 was extremely rare.
Moreover, the abilities of the 【Mystic Side】 were known for being “strange” and “peculiar.” Unless described personally by the user, ordinary people wouldn’t have any detailed understanding of them.
"Since that’s the case, we’ll have to adjust our plan."
Tapping her finger lightly on the table, Hela-Helheim finished the coffee in her hand in one gulp and began rethinking the strategy.—
The next night, at exactly eleven-thirty.
"Door Spirit, if anyone comes looking for me these next few days, tell them I’m in seclusion."
"Understood, Miss Janna."
After giving her instructions to the Door Spirit, the neatly dressed Janna left her dormitory and stepped into the glowing circle of the magic portal, arriving at the Meditation Area on the forty-third floor of the White Tower.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Entering the Meditation Area, Janna followed the dark corridor to 【Room 4317】 and gently knocked on the door.
"Sorry, I was delayed by something on the way."
"No worries, come in first."
As the door to the meditation room opened, Hela-Helheim and Louis-Tulan—who had been waiting inside for quite some time—both stood up to greet her at the entrance.
"In a moment, I’ll begin setting up the ritual array. During the process, all you need to do is stay close to me."
"Alright."
The layout of the White Tower’s meditation room was extremely simple. Apart from a meditation array covering the entire floor and a mechanical clock hanging on the wall, only a few round cushions were casually placed on the ground.
"I’ll begin now."
Sitting on one of the cushions, Janna officially started setting up the ritual array to synchronize with 【Spirit Traverse】, while the other two sat quietly beside her, not daring to make a sound.
"Tick-tock——tick-tock——"
Janna’s hands moved swiftly. Before long, the Spiritual Candle standing at the center of the array was lit. As thin smoke rose, the hot candle wax dripped down, landing on the circular mirror below.
"That should do it."
Deep-Sea Beast Hide, Laurel Flower Powder, Spiritual Candle—this ritual Janna prepared, both in materials and array structure, was modeled entirely after the 【Contract Summoning】 pattern. This was one of the methods she had developed over time to utilize her 【Spirit Traverse】 talent.
Seeing that the ritual was nearing completion, Janna took a deep breath, then picked up the Mithril Dagger on the ground and decisively cut a three-centimeter gash across her left wrist.
"Tch!"
Watching the bright red blood bead slowly trickle down Janna’s pale wrist, Louis-Tulan, sitting slightly behind her, couldn’t help but frown and click his tongue.
"Place your hands on my shoulders."
The two, whose attention had been on Janna’s wounded wrist, immediately placed their palms on her shoulders upon hearing her command.
"Great Lord of the Spirit Realm, You are the Sovereign of the Vast Astral Realm, the Watcher of beings across countless dimensions—please heed my will, and descend with Your boundless might———."
Drip—drip——
As her blood dripped onto the center of the mirror, the ancient Mitskis Incantation poured rapidly from Janna’s lips. In no time, the circular mirror on the floor began to rise into the air, shining with blinding light.
Now!
Seeing that the 【Lord of the Spirit Realm】 had responded to her call, Janna activated her wizard talent without hesitation, locking onto the coordinates.
"Spirit Traverse——"
Shooo—
The moment Janna invoked her talent, the light on the mirror intensified. Along with it, Janna’s spirit separated from her body—followed by Hela-Helheim and Louis-Tulan’s spirits being pulled forcefully out of their physical forms.
"Coordinate location——【Black Hole in the Star Domain】!"
Under the overwhelming might of the 【Lord of the Spirit Realm】, Janna and the other two’s spirits merged into the mirror. A destination that normally required multiple 【Lightspeed Leaps】 to reach—the 【Black Hole】 coordinates—was reached in an instant.
"Unbelievable—"
Opening his eyes to see the boundless, pitch-black void of the universe around them, Louis-Tulan felt a surge of indescribable awe.
Not only him—even Hela-Helheim, who was witnessing the power of the 【Spirit Traverse】 talent for the first time, was left in a state of dazed astonishment.
"Is this truly the ability of an A-rank talent? Isn’t this… a bit too outrageous—."
Still unable to believe that they had actually arrived at the coordinates of the 【Black Hole】, Louis-Tulan used spiritual transmission to ask Janna after a brief moment of silence.
"This isn’t entirely the power of the 【Spirit Traverse】 talent. The reason we could arrive here so smoothly was also thanks to the might of the 【Lord of the Spirit Realm】."
Just as Janna explained, the reason they managed to cross a distance measured in light-years and reach the coordinates of the 【Black Hole】 wasn’t solely because of her 【Spirit Traverse】 talent—it was also due to the authority of the 【Lord of the Spirit Realm】 that she had borrowed.
