Chapter 210: Alkhemia Once More
To ensure that the plan would succeed, Ambrose first went to the edge of the swamp to run a test.
Both he and Catherine had already confirmed that Flight magic could not carry them out of this floating landmass. Yet the other fragments clearly exchanged objects with one another by throwing them across the void. Ambrose suspected the difference lay in velocity.
Flight simply wasn't fast enough to overcome the restriction.
He casually picked up a stone and hurled it toward the surrounding chaos.
His mechanical body, powered by both a magitech reactor and dark magic, possessed astonishing strength. The stone tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
After traveling four or five hundred meters beyond the swamp, the stone suddenly slowed, but it still continued forward and eventually escaped the fragment entirely.
"Just as I thought," Ambrose said. "If the speed is high enough, you can break free of the fragment's gravitational pull. But that speed is far beyond the limit of flight magic."
His mechanical body could reach such speeds with the help of a cannon. Catherine, however, definitely couldn't. Stuffing her into a cannon barrel and firing it would likely turn her into paste.
Still, the plan would work.
