310 Orange II (2/2)
”Ugh… I won't do this again…”
”My head hurts… Aahhh~ Casting Grade 3 spells without amplification and support of the world's mana is too difficult even for me…”
”That's true, we should only cast Grade 3 spells if we're in an extremely tough spot…”
”Maybe we can try to cast one with the cooperation of five magicians?”
”That's a good idea…”
Grade 3 spells weren't impossible to cast by just using the magician's internal mana. However, it would exhaust too much of their energy if their Mana Artifact couldn't help them handle all the burden it could cause, or the spell was too large that it might require the support of the world's mana to stabilize them.
This practice lasted for a couple of hours and felt extremely satisfying. They learned the limit of their spacesuits and created a guide of their own when using their magic.
”Hilda! Is everything alright? You look exhausted?”
Ray Penber asked as he noticed Hilda was listlessly looking around the arena.
The latter nodded as she showed her hands holding a Mana Stone.
It was slowly regenerating her Mana but while doing so, she was also studying the Mana Formation and Array that was supporting the arena.
The materials used to build the Arena were already at the top of its class but the formation and array that was used were also incredible.
”I heard that we're the first magicians who had arrived here. Even Wallace said that it was his first time…”
Hilda said which confused Ray… Their other friends had also gathered as they replenished their mana.
Lina and Escanor understood what Hilda was trying to say…
”Do you think that Wallace built this place and sent it here even before his first official space launch program?”
”That's impossible… Something this big would be noticed by the Grand Arcanists or Grand Sage of our country… Even the neighboring countries would have no problem detecting this…”
They were trying to find out the origin of this place because the existence of mana formation and the array should be unique to their world as per their Virtual World education.
”I don't think that those orange people can use mana.”
”Oh? How did you know that, Lina?”
”Err… I tried using a bit of mana to test them but they did not respond at all…”
Normally, Mana Shells would immediately manifest when a mana practitioner had sensed foreign mana coming close to them. However, these orange people were oblivious to the fact that they were being surrounded by mana a while ago.
”Then, who made these solid Mana formations and arrays?”
This question made them silent again to think of an answer. The appearance of the Mech Frames and Automatons here wasn't surprising to them since it can be controlled from afar…
Building things together with the orange people should be something easy for them. However, anything that was related to Formation and Arrays must be done by Magicians as far as they were aware of.
Avalon who had heard everything remained silent and would not answer even if it was asked.
After all, the secret of those special automatons who made these possible was related to Wallace's Divine Sense and the Memory Crystals.
