Chapter 1202: 378. Contract Loophole_2

“Now is the time, activate the array.”

Three ritual magic circles were activated at the same time, emitting a commanding gray glow.

In just a split second, Noland Lee felt as if he were swiftly ascending into the sky, with his destination aimed at the star obscured by the sunlight.

As the gray surface of the star magnified before his eyes, the sunlight and blue sky receded rapidly, and Noland’s consciousness arrived in a weightless, strange space.

There was no light source, but Noland could clearly see the mottled stone surfaces making up the ceiling and walls.

A corridor, ten meters wide and ten meters high, stretched straight towards the distant horizon, converging into a tiny point.

Due to weightlessness, Noland floated in mid-air, and after a turn, it became hard to distinguish which stone surface was the floor and which was the ceiling.

Squinting his eyes to scan the nearby walls, Noland’s gaze lingered on the protruding stone carving lines.

These lines seemed random and without pattern, but in reality, they concealed the mysterious language used for the “Escape” Core of the Plane.

Based on the Maze Map Deconstruction Results in his mind, Noland easily recognized the mysterious language that symbolized the “Entrance to Maze No. 3” with a brief examination of the lines on the wall.

“Hmm, not bad. The route from the entrance of Maze No. 3 to the exit is relatively easy, not like Mazed 7 and 8, which have hundreds of intersections.”

The brief surge of joy in his heart lasted for less than half a second before Noland calmly wiped it away.

He advanced according to the route map while calling up the Panel Information in his mind.

Due to the special restrictions of the Maze Space, his powerful body that could withstand a Sixth-Ring Spell and his formidable Magic Ability had temporarily entered a state of unusability.

It could be said that everyone who entered the maze was now on the same level, with no distinction between Transcendent Wizards and ordinary ones.

But this was only temporary.

If Transcendent Wizards enhanced the power of the ritual array sufficiently to break through the Maze Space’s suppression effects on Magic and other Extraordinary Abilities, they would then be able to use their powers in a limited way.

Noland intended to do just that.

Although he currently couldn’t sense the situation in reality, he was certain that Nolin was already enhancing his ritual array.

Noland’s conjecture was soon confirmed.

After following the route map for an unknown amount of time, a system message appeared in his mind.

[Attention!]

[Due to external factors, a small part of your spells have become usable, but their power has been reduced.]

Noland nodded slightly and kept flying forward without stopping.

After moving some distance more, additional system messages arrived.

Noland’s “Death Flight,” “Death Two Finger,” “Thundercloud Technique,” and so on, became usable one after another, and their power limits also slowly increased as time went on.

“Nolin’s actions are quite swift.”

Noland paused briefly at an intersection, looking to the side and down the corridor into the distance.

That was the direction of Entrances 5 and 6.

If Severas Nabi had indeed fulfilled his contract obligations, then he and his Wizards would obediently stay put upon entering the maze, neither exploring nor attempting to lift the Maze Space’s restrictions on casting spells.

Thus, there would be no energy fluctuations at Entrances 5 and 6.

But now, Noland faintly sensed energy fluctuations emanating from a far distance, which were not caused by the Blood Magic Power or Death Energy fluctuations of Night Spirit Magic.

Noland’s eyebrows furrowed, realizing that Wizards outside of the plan had taken the place of Nabi and his group and had entered the maze.

Noland’s fingers rubbed together lightly, casting “Veil of Different Worlds (Imitation).”

Thanks to its nature as Wild Magic, Noland could simply invest more Soul Energy to enhance its Disguise effect, thus bypassing the limitations of the Maze Space.

Noland decisively increased the magical power of “Veil of Different Worlds (Imitation)” to 10 million points, doing his utmost to erase all traces of himself.

The energy fluctuations from Entrances 5 and 6 became slightly stronger.
