NBAA Vol. 8 Chapter 1 Part 9
“Oh, yeah!”
“Whoa!? Reito’s doppelganger?! Is this my new power…?!”
“No, that’s not it. This is my magic.”
“…Where did you come from?”
“It looked like you came from here…”
The three were surprised when Reito appeared from the black vortex.
Normally, the black vortex could only hold inorganic matter. It could not contain living things. Despite this, by consuming SP to evolve it into Space magic, Reito was able to even move himself.
However, the black vortex could only be manifested within the range of his field of vision. He could not enter the interior of a sealed building, but it was possible to create a black vortex inside a building by peeping… looking through a window. Furthermore, once the black vortex was created, it could remain even outside his field of vision. However, this method put a lot of strain on Reito’s body, as it consumed a great deal of magic power.
“This is the true power of a support magician… Once you learn this, you can easily move any furniture, so it’s super convenient.”
“I can’t believe it… I can’t believe a support magician can learn a teleportation spell like this.”
“No, but I’m pretty scared to go inside this… If the black vortex closes, I won’t be swallowed up in another dimension forever, right?”
“It’ll be fine, I’ve already tested it.”
Reito had consulted with Airis beforehand and confirmed the safety of this Space magic. By the way, he also got Suramin’s cooperation.
First of all, if there was only one black vortex, no living thing could enter inside. This condition didn’t change even if multiple black vortexes were created.
When two black vortexes were connected and activated, living beings could then enter.
As an experiment, he tried to send in Suramin’s half body. When he released only one side of the black vortex in the middle of the transfer, Suramin was pushed out to the side with the larger body.
He tried it repeatedly, but no matter what the condition was, the space was not cut off when he released the black vortex. Nor was Suramin’s body cut in half or swallowed by another dimension.
“Amazing, Reito! This is a real teleportation spell! Now it’s easy to travel!”
“No, to be honest, this spell consumes a lot of magic power, so I’d like to avoid it if possible. To put it simply, every time I use it, it feels like I’m creating ten ‘Iceclad Swords.”
“C-Can you handle that?”
“Well, when I create a black vortex of this size, I feel tired as if I’ve walked about a kilometer. But if it were fixed in space like this, it wouldn’t consume any more magic power, so go ahead while you still can.”
“That’s fine, but…”
When Reito connected the Space magic to the inside of the building he had just appeared in, the size of the black vortex on the other side changed. When two black vortices were connected, their size became uniform. He expanded the black vortex to nearly four meters, allowing the giant Gonzo to slip through.
“Wow! You can really pass through it!”
“It’s a strange feeling. It’s almost like going through a membrane of water.”
“But it’s a bit like my shadow magic… maybe it’s dark magic.”
“R-Really?”
Dain guessed that Storage magic and Space magic could be dark magic. It was only a guess, though.
If Dain’s prediction was correct, Reito would be able to use magic of all elements.
He thought, ‘I’ll ask Airis about this when we return from the Great Labyrinth later,’ as he sent them into the building.
