Hynax asked.

Have you, by any chance, opened that door?

It sounded like scolding someone for doing something they shouldnt have.

Similar to a line commonly used in ghost stories, words such as, Ah, you saw it-.

Feeling that I might have said something I shouldnt have, I hurriedly closed my mouth. However, such denial was no different than a confirmation.

Hu-.

Hynax sighed, As I thought, youve seen it. Then, he looked around and gestured. Suddenly, the open windows and door all closed.

Why are you closing the door?

I started to feel a little anxious with the enclosed space, but Hynax said as if reassuring me.

The things we will discuss henceforth are only for those who have reached a certain level. Ill be transparent. So, Sir Theo, be honest with me, have you seen anything beyond the door?

I dont know. I dont even understand what I saw. Thats why I came to ask the Sage.

Yes, I understand where you are coming from. Sadly, Sir Theo, neither I nor anyone knows.

Really?

Thats right, we all saw the same thing as we crossed the demonic wall. The endless sea of ink, the otherworldly door and the throne beyond it. And a strange being sitting cross-legged.

The other world and the throne. The strange being. I hadnt described that part yet.

So the fact that Hynax mentioned it first meant that he saw something similar to what I had witnessed

As expected, it wasnt just a dream.

Hynax continued.

Its said to appear differently depending on a persons aptitude. In my case, I could barely see a blurry, twisted figure sitting cross-legged.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

A blurry figure.

Upon hearing those words, fluttering dark hair came to mind.

Aira.

She never said anything like this to me.

Somehow, a shallow sense of betrayal from Aira began to rise within me.

But the agreement was to keep it a secret, so it was only natural for her to hide it from me, who was not a mage.

While grappling with these complex emotions, Hynax said in passing.

Surely, Solomon must have seen it too. I wonder what he wouldve called it.

I also didnt know how Demon King Solomon wouldve named it.

If it were up to me, it would probably be

Something like a devil or whatever.

In a training ground located in a corner of Ark.

Air Bullet-!

I casted the most basic attack magic.

It was a spell that fired a tiny air bullet from the tip of the wand, possessing destructive power equivalent to a conventional rifle bullet.

Paaang-!

However, my air bullet, colliding with the training dummy, not only pierced through its waist but also completely broke it in half, leaving a large hole.

This was like a full-blown cannon. It felt like the power had increased two to threefold.

Now, I couldnt possibly use this magic against people.

Was this the skill of a Rank 5 Archmage?

If even the most basic attack caused this much damage, I couldnt help but be both excited and scared as to how powerful the stronger spells might have gotten.
