Chapter 89 - The Library (2/2)
Whoosh.
Just like last time, the jaws of a demogorgon and a crimson magic circle appeared at the top of the space above the lion.
Whoosh.
A pale blue stream of mana emerged from the magic circle and rushed toward the pillar, or rather its chains.
Evan watched the process closely, he was extremely curious to see what would happen next.
Rivers of mana began to flow into one single target out of many others, it was at the very bottom.
Crack.
With each passing second, the chain rattled and jingled harder and louder, until at one point it burst into black flames. The flame quickly extinguished and the black chain detached itself from the pole.
Whoosh.
The chain flew toward Evan and hovered in the air before his eyes. At that moment it was straight, so Evan could see every link of it.
”Isn't that...?”
Evan didn't have time to finish his thought as the chain flew sharply to the side.
Whoosh.
Another crack formed in space, only blue, and the chain quickly flew into the crack and disappeared without a trace.
Evan didn't hesitate for a second to follow it. The presence of another space was incredibly important. Evan had to get a better handle on what was going on here.
Whoosh.
Evan easily passed through the blue crack and found himself in an entirely different space.
”Wow...” Slowly Evan muttered looking around.
If ”Nirvana” was a vast white void, and the space with the lion in the distance was as black as the abyss itself, here was a completely different palette of colors.
Right now Evan was standing in the middle of a beautiful blue sky. It was everywhere, from below and above, and to the left and right, on all sides. The space was bright, even though there was no sun, but this sky was no different than usual. White clouds of various shapes and sizes floated serenely across it as well.
”What is it?” After admiring the beautiful view around him, Evan turned his attention to what was in this place.
He looked at three magical circles floating in the air. They were the magic circles of ”Magical Missile”, ”Ice Veil”, and ”Summon Thorny Ivy”, all spells he knew.
Evan knew each of these magical circles by heart, all their details, symbols, runes, and seals. He could have easily drawn them, but now they were floating in the air in the middle of the clouds and the endless sky.
”It's incredible, I don't even have to draw magic circles to see them. I wonder if I can do the ”Transforming of Spells” here.”
Whoosh.
Evan flew over to each magical circle and examined them carefully.
He nodded and said quietly: ”This place reminds me some sort of a library, so I`ll call it that way. By the way, where is that chain?”
Evan looked around for the chain, and he didn't have to look long. It was on the opposite side of his magic circles.
He quickly went to it and took another close look at it. When he had seen it for the first time, it seemed to him that there were familiar symbols on the links. He wanted to be sure of his guess.
As he finished examining it, Evan smiled and muttered contentedly, ”So, this chain, is it part of one massive magical circle?”
