Chapter 758 - 758 Checking the Magicless Area

758 Checking the Magicless Area

And here we are! A place where magic can’t be used!

Well, I passed through this place with the help of a Blobby that was installed here by someone’s familiar. I don’t think there’s a need at all for me to enter this magicless place since our goal is to the city inside. Where magic can be used.

It’s just that the city is being surrounded by the area where no one can use magic. And I’m interested in it.

“Alright, you guys can go and investigate that city. There must be a lot of master level mages there so be careful. Rip your clothes and purposely get some light wound on your body so everyone will just think that you’re escaping from the monsters inside. Albert said that you will act like hunters risking your lives for big reward to investigate this place but you got attacked by monsters and have to escape. Well, I don’t need to explain any more. You’re better than me at this. I’ll go check this magicless area. If you need anything, contact me with those phones. You can use it without looking, right?”

“Yeah. We learned it. Thank you for taking us here. We’ll be off now.”

They are agents from Tatrama. Since this is still Albert’s territory, it’s his men who will investigate.

They have received their phones for the mission. And since it only recognized their own master’s magic, the cult will never expect that we have such an amazing magic item. No one other than their owner can operate phones.

And if they are in trouble, they have learned how to use it without looking. They will spend more mana doing it, but it’s better than operating it in front of everyone. Though I think master level mages can sense their magic when they’re operating their phones.

After we part ways, they rip their own clothes and wound themselves with knives that have been sterilized so they won’t get infection. But they have a healer so they can say that once they left the magicless area, the healer healed them.

.....

Now they look just like any average hunters risking their lives for a reward.

I heard that even some nobles participate in this mission. They even officially submitted the request to the guild and have these guys accept it. So there shouldn’t be anything suspicious.

This is still a place that no one really knows about. It’s a magicless area with a lot of monsters so mages won’t enter this place just for fun.

Still, it’s a dangerous place. The city has many master level mages. and I heard that even Sonia had problems escaping from there. And because this place is surrounded by magicless area, it took some time until she decided to just teleport.

Luckily, she was invisible the whole time she was here. So even if master level mages can sense her, none of them know her exact appearance.

Well, ghosts are considered monsters. So maybe some of them thought that a tamer or a summoner was letting their familiar run free.

After those agents left, I entered the magicless area. And as soon as I enter there, my connection with Victoria stopped. Just the telepathy. They are still my contracted monsters.

“Victoria, you can’t hear my telepathy, right?” I asked.

“You tried? Let me try it... How is it? Did you hear what I said?” she asked me back.

“Nope. Not at all. Magic is totally being restricted here,” I said.

Then how did the cult pass through this place? And hearing that there’s at least a big city inside, that means that it has been decades since the city was built and people live there.

What about the monsters here? Are they just wild monsters, or are they contracted monsters? It will be dangerous if I kill any monsters here and the cult comes to know about it.

Well, they might think that a really strong monster is here so it might be fine.

But for now, I need to check if this place is truly in Tatrama. If I keep going south, I should reach Cassau.

I walked back to where the magicless area had no effect on me and summoned Ray. Then we move to the south at full speed.

According to the map, we should be able to reach Cassau quickly.

Along the way on the magicless area, it was pretty weird. Because the sensation of me riding on Ray is different.

Usually, my mana will replenish since Ray will share his mana to me. But the feeling is not there.

Though at least Aura is still fine.

On the way, while we’re still in the middle of the magicless area, we encountered several monsters. And I defeated them normally using Reizpear.

Apparently, Victoria can’t use her transformation here. But if she was transformed before she enters this place, she will stay in that form. And right now, she’s on my shoulder in her small slime form.

And before we enter this place, I had recovered Reizpear in my pocket to its original form. Though if it’s broken here, I don’t think it can be fixed. So I need to make sure that it won’t get broken. And covering it with my Aura to increase its durability should be good enough.

Soon after we passed the magicless area and we can use magic again.

“It was weird how I can’t transform for a while there,” Victoria said.

“If you want, you can do it all the time. Just by wearing the Magic Restricting Collar and you won’t be able to use magic. Why did I never thought that those collars work on monsters as well?”

“You’re right. But now we know, if we can just put them on a really strong monsters, the only thing we need to worry is their physical strength. Though I believe that most monsters can easily rip the collars with just their strength,” Victoria added.

Now, what if a master level mage is here? If they can’t use magic, they should still have extraordinary strength, right? Although it’s thanks to their magic level, they are still improving their muscles. I know that because I can see their muscles.

So, they should still be able to pass through this place, right? Maybe that’s how they entered it in the first place.

With Ray’s speed, we reached Cassau soon after. It’s really in the north of Cassau. And I don’t have any memories at all about that place. Either in my past life or in the present.

Maybe because I just didn’t care. Well, we know now. So we will take care of it.

The phone can connect Earth to the Moon. So reaching that place should be possible with it.

Sonia’s teleportation can pass through that place. And my portal as well. So maybe our magic although it’s connected from one place to another, the magic didn’t pass through that magicless area.

This is something new that I learned today.

I thought that creating a portal is making a connection from one place to another in an invisible path so it’s actually a straight line.

But it seems like it’s just magic.

I used magic on one side to open a portal to another side. And instead of having my magic move to that place, it just magically appear in my target destination without passing any obstacles.

It’s quite rare for me to be curious about magic theories. Though I won’t do anything unless I can see that I can benefit from learning it.

Maybe it’s similar to magic phone. The phones are connected to each others magically. So there’s no need to care about the signal being lost.

I told the agents that before they made further progress that once I left the magicless area, I will contact them to see if the phone is working. So I texted one of them a message.

The reply came soon after. It still works.

“Well, we passed through that magicless area easily. Next we should test if it’s still magicless in the sky or even underground. What a weird place,” I said.

“You’re going to dig your way down that place? Won’t that take a lot of time?” Victoria asked.

“I’ll dig deep enough that my Divine Vision can still see the surface. Once we entered the magicless area, we will return from the way we entered. That way it won’t take too much time. Good thing Divine Vision is not magic. I can still use it inside,” I said.

If my Divine Vision doesn’t work, I would not recommend to do this at all. It will be dangerous. Who knows if there are any powerful monsters who can burrow themselves underground?

We flew as high as possible. And once I can see the star and passed the sky I can still use magic even though the magicless area should be right below me. It would be too much for anyone other than air mage to pass even though we can still use magic. But just below where the sky is still blue, I can’t use magic. This is interesting.

Then I dug a hole as deep as possible. When I can barely see the surface with my Divine Vision, I stopped digging down and just making a path forward.

When I’m right underneath the border where I can’t use magic anymore, my connection with Victoria who was singing something called anime-song stopped.

So it won’t work from under or above. Or we need to fly higher than the sky. As for how deep we need to dig, I don’t know yet.

Either way, it will be difficult for those who are not air mage. so there doesn’t seem to be any other way to go trough this magicless area.

Well, should I check on the city now? Maybe later. I’ll explore this magicless area first. I can leave the scouting to the agents.
