The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Seeing his opponent’s unyielding face gradually fade into a completely blurred void, the Starry Sky Magic Matrix began to shake. The strong spatial fluctuations had already affected the structural integrity of Damarlinsk Castle, and even the castle walls seemed to start trembling. Noyola timed it perfectly; he thrust his magic wand deep into the ground and mustered all his strength to transform his light magic power into the power of the void.

Star Magic was not strange to Noyola. It made use of the stars’ shifting positions in the sky, then channeled the spatial forces and transformed them. This was the basic principle of Star Magic. The power of the void, which was different from elemental magic and light or dark magic, was theoretically derived from the forces released by the sun, the moon, and the stars. Magic practitioners, to a greater or lesser extent, would encounter this force during their cultivation. However, how to enhance this power and turn it into one’s own mana for arbitrary use was the mystery of Star Magic.

What Noyola initiated was the only Star Magic spell he could proudly wield—sky inversion. This was originally a unique spell used for magical counterattacks, yet he did not expect to use it for the first time against a Star Magic Array. After Noyola invoked the sky inversion, a slight anomaly occurred in the outwardly radiating Star Magic power. The uncontrollable Star Magic energy was cleverly manipulated by Noyola’s technique, changing the direction of its force. From solid to void, the previously unstoppable power of the stars was at this moment gathered by the Magic Array, surging towards the direction guided by Noyola’s wand, and the ground matrix pillars also gradually stabilized as the stellar power was directed.

Damarlinsk Castle, which had already been shaking, finally calmed down. Lorenzo looked as if he had aged ten years, pale-faced. Noyola wasn’t faring much better; sweat was visible on his brow. Using the sky inversion to reverse such a vast amount of power released by the Starry Sky Magic Matrix, even if only guiding its direction, was somewhat strenuous for Noyola.

Caru and Boritz had tightly sealed off all routes for Rebry, who, having exhausted his mana from the roar of the Wind Dragon, held no illusion of escaping from these former colleagues. And with Komer thrust into a Different World Space, he lost all hope. In the presence of Noyola and Lorenzo, he stood no chance; even though Noyola and Lorenzo were also worn out.

"Now what do we do?" Looking at Caru and Boritz, who had come back empty-handed, Noyola was not surprised. The two had already alarmed their quarry last time, and given the noble’s temperament, he would not wait until the Court arrived to start frantically hiding whatever scant traces there were. That fellow would have already hidden them away.

In a place like Caucasus, there were too many spots to hide. Noyola and Lorenzo never expected to find any evidence under such circumstances. The question was, what now? Rebry had been captured, and this fallen one must be taken back to the Court to redeem his tainted soul through atonement. That poor bumpkin had fallen into Different World Space, and no one knew which corner of the infinite space he landed in. Just thinking of Different World Space, a term almost mythical, one would know his existence could be utterly disregarded.

However, the pressing issue was how to explain this to the outside world. Enforcement without notifying anyone had happened before, but this time was different. This fellow was a lord, and in the current delicate situation of the Kingdom of Nicosia, his status seemed important. The problem was that Noyola still had no evidence to prove the lord’s association with the Dark Forces. His performance in this battle could not serve as proof, as no one would believe their side under these circumstances.
