Chapter 129: First Trials & Unforeseen Challenges
For days, Nero meticulously refined the theoretical aspects of his technique.
Every spare moment was spent pouring over his research notes, adjusting formulas, and practicing the individual components that would make up the final spell.
He worked through every layer: stabilizing the barrier framework, reinforcing the Shikigami's magical lattice, and fine-tuning the filtering mechanism that would allow smooth knowledge transfer upon reintegration.
His mind buzzed with calculations and adjustments.
By the time he had perfected the individual components, it was no longer just a theory.
It was time for real testing.

He knelt at the center of the room, exhaling slowly as he pressed his palm to the ground.
