Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 779 - 741 Space-Time Magic

Chapter 779 -741 Space-Time Magic

Nearly half a year ago, Thunderhawk City began its upgrade. After completing the replacement of the Super Crystal, the city started its upgrade and construction. This mainly consisted of three parts: the most critical part was the expansion of the city district; another part was the expansion of the Skyport and the construction of a military port; and lastly, the addition of new facilities.

Among the new facilities, the new research institute was the first to be completed, and the entire research team moved into the new institute upon completion.

After the new research institute was completed, it was officially named the Rune Research Institute. Not only was the institute new, but all the various equipment and instruments inside were also new, and they were the most advanced of their time. From the inside out, everything was brand new. However, although the new research institute was established, the old one was not demolished. On the contrary, it remained active. The old research institute thus became a new venue for Orton, Hammerfire, Aniye, and Pelaya, among others, to conduct secret research.

On this day, as Thunderhawk City continued to fly towards Eternal City, Rocky and the four others were conducting a new research study within the old institute.

At this time, within the laboratory, Orton, Pelaya, and Aniye were all using their magic power to the fullest, jointly casting an extremely difficult spell.

The three of them stood in a triangle, releasing their magic power visibly, which swirled around them. Under their control, the magic power was being fed into an instrument in front of them without restraint.

At first glance, the instrument in front of the three looked like a candelabrum. As more and more magic power was input, a sphere began to expand on the apparatus. The more magic power was fed, the larger the sphere became, and if one looked closely into the sphere, it seemed to contain another space!

Indeed, the sphere truly contained another space, because Orton and the others were casting one of the most top-tier and difficult spatial magic spells at that moment!

“Hold it! Keep it steady!”

When the Space-Time Sphere expanded to the size of a soccer ball, Hammerfire shouted, and then tossed a Helmet of the Void Magic Armor right into the sphere.

“Okay, close it now.”

As soon as the Helmet was thrown in, Hammerfire quickly called out, then took cover behind Rocky like one would avoid the plague. Hearing his shout, the sweaty-browed Orton and the others hastily controlled their magic and gradually stopped the spell. Once the magic power stopped flowing, the Space-Time Sphere on the instrument disappeared.

“Phew… Finally closed it.”

As the Space-Time Sphere vanished steadily, the five individuals present all breathed a sigh of relief. Spatial magic is the most difficult of all magic, and a mistake in casting could lead to a major disaster. Moreover, people hardly use magic anymore, causing spatial magic to be almost a lost art. Thus, even for Orton, Pelaya, and Aniye, casting this spell together was incredibly challenging, and they feared one careless mistake could destroy the entire Thunderhawk City.

Fortunately, this time the spell was cast successfully.

“Teacher, take a rest.”

When Orton and the others ceased casting the spell, Rocky quickly stepped forward to have them sit down. Normally, despite their age, Orton and the others were always full of energy. However, now they were visibly exhausted, sweating profusely, and looking rather listless.

“Tomorrow, tomorrow we’ll try one more time to see if we can retrieve the item. If we can, it means we’ve succeeded.”

Taking the cup from Rocky, Orton took a sip and then spoke, while the others nodded in agreement at this moment.

The next day, the five of them appeared again in the old research institute, and Orton and his two colleagues once again performed the space-time magic.

Just like yesterday, as the magic was successfully cast, a soccer ball-sized space-time sphere appeared on the instrument, and immediately after, Orton, his two colleagues, and Rocky all turned their attention to Hammerfire.

“Damn it, always picking on me!”

Rolling his eyes at the group, Hammerfire took a deep breath, then walked over to the instrument and climbed onto the stool beside it. Now at a similar height to the instrument, he reached out toward the space-time sphere.

As Hammerfire’s small hand touched the space-time sphere, whoosh—half of his arm extended into the sphere, and when he swiftly withdrew his hand, it now held the helmet of the Void Magic Armor!

“We did it!”

Hammerfire shouted as he extracted the helmet from the space-time sphere. Filled with excitement, he leaped off the stool and, just like the day before, took cover behind Rocky. After he moved away, Orton and his colleagues gradually dispelled the magic.

With the magic fading, although the three of them appeared very exhausted just like yesterday, their spirits were significantly brighter. With the successful casting of the space-time magic, the final preparation was now declared complete.

Indeed, it was evident to any discerning observer why they had gone to such lengths and risked so much to test the space-time magic in actual combat—to allow Rocky to successfully keep the White Demon Armor at his side.

Upon arriving at Eternal City, Rocky was undoubtedly due to attend the mobilization meeting. Clearly, The Three Great Alliances would make things difficult for him at the meeting. Under such circumstances, only by having his Armor on him could Rocky ensure his absolute safety. However, even a fool could understand that the forces of The Three Great Alliances would never allow Rocky to do so. If they intended to target Rocky, how could they possibly let him bring the White Demon to the very site of the meeting?

Therefore, Aniye came up with this strategy: they would use space-time magic to seal the White Demon Armor within it and then seal the space-time magic itself. When necessary, Rocky only needed to release the sealed space-time magic, and he would have access to his Armor.

There were two major challenges in this series of procedures. First was the space-time magic itself. Even during the Land Era, when magic was widespread, space-time magic was considered one of the hardest to perform. Thus, the successful completion of this magic was the first significant hurdle.

The second challenge was how Rocky could unseal and use the space-time magic. With Rocky’s level of magic power, he couldn’t hope to cast space-time magic alone, let alone break the seal. However, Pelaya solved this problem by utilizing runes. With the runes providing the magic power, Rocky would handle the operation, making things much simpler.

As for sealing the magic within a device, that was relatively easy because such technology was quite popular during the Land Era. Remember the underground research institute in Kasin City? Its walls were sealed with large-scale defensive magic; hence, this technique was not difficult for Aniye and his team.

Now, with the successful space-time magic experiment, all that remained for Orton and his team was one last task: to seal the White Demon Armor within the space-time magic, and then seal the space-time magic itself. Once all this was done, Rocky would be able to present a surprise to everyone at the mobilization meeting!
