Chapter 1059: Felix’s Folly
Back when Anna and her entourage had left the city, Adam had come up with an ingenious method to manifest a summoning gate over large distances.
He would carve the spell model of the summoning spell into a strand of his hair. This itself was an incredibly difficult endevour. It required not only a deep understanding of runic magic, but also exceptional precision and the focus to etch runes onto something so delicate and minute.
Fortunately, Adam qualified in both aspects. He had deepened his understanding of runic magic by studying tomes given by the Brotherhood and also memories rich with the past expert’s experience in this type of magic.
As for the latter, the Sphere of Resonance had several applications, limited only by his creativity. One such application was magnifying his vision to observe the most minute of details. Of course, such a thing required Adam to expend spiritual energy.
Moreover, his strand of hair could also be considered a material component. It was a body part of a Mana Vortex-level existence, after all. With that, the requirements for the model component and material component were satisfied.
All Adam needed to do was weave a set of hand seals that would activate the runes on the strands of his hair and create a portal that led directly to the Coil of Eternity.
As soon as Adam finished the physical component of the spell, several locations in the five districts of the city surged with unnatural energy fluctuations. The youth’s lips curled into a grin, knowing that he had succeeded.
In the months leading to the Grand Magus Tournament, he had plucked several strands from his head and turned them into material components for the summoning spell. Then, he scattered these strands all across the city.
One by one, these places with the eratic energy fluctuations went through a drastic change. A small tear appeared in these places, growing bigger and bigger with each passing second.
Most of these portals appeared in the cobbled streets and alleys, but there were some that appeared inside buildings, in underground sewers, at the piers, and one even appeared outside the city walls.
The people around these portals, whether they were the armed forces of the city or the heinous cultists, were stunned by the sudden development. They all quickly retreated in fear, staying clear of the portals that were expanding by the moment.
A portal was a direct gateway to the spirit world, and this mystical dimension was full of mysteries and unknown horrors.
