Chapter 622: A Completely New Magical System!

There was indeed a secret portal in the healing magic seal of the crack, tucked away from prying eyes in a corner.

After looking at the spatial portal for ten minutes, Link finally figured out Piasce’s trick behind it.

The principles underlying the magic portal seemed to differ from those of Firuman. It was operating under a magical system Link had never seen before. However, upon closer inspection, Link was able to appreciate its ingenuity.

It was then that Link was struck by inspiration. By bringing this new magical system into Firuman, Piasce had opened up new pathways for Link to arrive at solutions for previously unsolvable magical problems.

“Incredible!” exclaimed Link.

He looked at it again and realized that the portal’s coordinates were the same as those given to him by Piasce.

“Looks like you were telling the truth,” said Link, glancing at Piasce.

The blue-skinned man rubbed his hands, an awkward smile on his face. “I would never dare lie to you, not when my life’s at stake here.”

Link nodded. He then turned to all the Magicians on the scene and said, “Alright, we’re done here for today. It would seem that Piasce really doesn’t mean us any harm. This was all just a huge misunderstanding. Please continue working on the magic seal when you return to your posts. We still have three days to complete it!”

Everyone nodded. They all turned around and resumed their work on the healing magic seal.

“Nana, please stay. I want you to keep an eye on Piasce,” Link shouted after Nana when he saw that she was about to leave with the rest of the crowd. He still could not completely trust Piasce. Also, Nana was the only one in the barrier other than himself who was completely immune to the blue-skinned man’s soul magic.

Nana nodded and did as she was told.

At that point, Link had fully understood how the spatial portal functioned. Before teleporting himself over to the other side of the portal, he psychically said to Celine, “Celine, hold the fort, would you?”

“Alright. What will you be doing?” replied Celine almost immediately.

“I’ll take a look at our guest’s Void Ferry, but I don’t really trust him enough to bring him along. You and Nana keep an eye on him. If he tries anything funny with the Void Ferry or does anything out of the ordinary here, you have my permission to shoot him down.”

“No worries, I’ve got him in my sights,” said Celine with a chuckle.

With all the necessary precautions in place, Link was finally at ease and ready to leave the place. He then turned to Piasce and said, “I can tell that you harbor no ill will towards us. Your magic is indeed potent, and truth be told, I’ve never seen anything like it. I would not want to hurt you over some misunderstanding. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Piasce immediately replied, “I won’t try anything when you’re on the other side. You have my word. I only ask that you do not under any circumstances activate the Void Ferry. I’m a hunted man. My pursuers are powerful as they are numerous…”

“I understand,” said Link nodding. There was a white light around him. Seconds later, he was gone from the Firuman realm.

According to the coordinates, Piasce’s Void Ferry was anchored at the outermost and incidentally deepest layer of the Firuman realm.

At first, all Link could see around him in his descent were warped images from the surface of the Firuman realm. Everything looked surreal. However, as he sank deeper, his surroundings darkened until the rest of his body vanished beneath him. Not a sound could be heard.

The only sound he could hear was the thumping of his heart. As the place was devoid of air, Link had to draw on his Realm Essence Power to keep himself alive.

The entire experience gave him the impression of journeying through a dark tunnel with no end in sight. The distorted images of the Firuman surface had also vanished behind him. As there was nothing around him that he could use as a reference point, Link could not even tell if he was moving at all in the sea of darkness.

Any ordinary human being would have been driven mad by the overwhelming silence and darkness. Link could also feel the suffocating pressure around him. However, as this was not his first plunge into the depths of space, he was still able to endure it.

An hour later, Link saw a gentle blue glow in front of him. It was different from the Sea of Void’s deathly white sheen. Also, the blue glow seemed to be concentrated at one point. From afar, it looked like a lone blue star in a dark night sky.

Must be Piasce’s Void Ferry. Link drew closer towards the blue point of light. This took about ten minutes.

As he got closer, the scene before him became clearer. The point of blue light was gradually shaping into a streamlined object. It was around 15 feet long, tapering to a pointed tip on one end and a rounded tip on the other. It was shaped almost like a teardrop. Its surface was filled with countless magical runes which resembled the runic circuits that were etched on Piasce’s skin. These runes were also the source of the blue light that Link saw.

The object matched the description that Piasce had given Link. When he was a few feet away from the teardrop, a voice suddenly sounded in his head. Intruder, this is as far as you can go. Please don’t come any closer. Otherwise, immediate action will be taken against you!

This was the Void Ferry’s defense system that Piasce was talking about. Any living being entering its vicinity would receive a psychic warning from it. If the intruder continued moving towards the vessel, it would unleash a Level-10 energy beam on him or her in retaliation.
