Chapter 144. A Reflection on the Source of Magic
----
As Nolan's thoughts settled, his movements stopped, and the incantation was completed.
Suddenly, orange magical energy began to crystallize into shimmering fragments, spreading outward from Nolan as the center.
In an instant, the ground swept by the fragments shimmered and reassembled like waves. The surrounding scientific equipment also rippled like water.
This strange phenomenon lasted only a moment, so brief that even Otto only felt a flash of light pass before his eyes.
It seemed like nothing had changed, but the space around them glittered faintly like reflected glass.
Otto saw the orange magical energy disappear from Nolan's hand, but didn't ask any questions,, he knew he wouldn't understand anyway.
"Magic isn't all that difficult."
With a thought, Nolan's finger flickered with orange energy. Suddenly, Otto felt the loss of gravity, his body lifted into the air as if carried by some invisible force.
"A zero-gravity state? This... This is incredible."
Otto twisted his body slightly, floating freely like drifting in water.
