"Mr. Fisher! What is this..."
The next second, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Fisher raised his fist and violently smashed it onto the window in front of him, shattering the glass.
What happened next was shocking: outside there wasn’t a school at all, but rather a pitch-black space, akin to an abyss of nothingness. In absolute silence, the glass shards that Fisher had knocked out fell along the edge of the building, yet there was never a sound of them hitting the ground, as if they vanished into thin air.
And within that darkness, Fisher saw ring after ring of Magic Emblems flickering with a mixture of deep purple and white Magic Power. He recognized them as Medieval Magic Emblems composed of the Magic Power of Artificial Witches.
Thirteen Ring Magic, "Space Cage."
The quintessential work of Super Ring Space Magic, the Space Cage, the only Magic from the Middle Ages that reached beyond the Thirteen Ring.
The specific effect was to completely isolate the space inside and outside the Magic Array, in other words, it perfectly replicated the environment within the Array. When prey stepped into the Magic, they wouldn’t even be aware that they had entered a Magic prison.
And if someone patrolling outside were to enter the building at this very moment, they would find that everyone inside had disappeared, because they were now trapped within the Magic.
The only way to break the Magic was to find the Magic Emblems inscribed somewhere inside the building. The Magic in the void outside was untouchable—if you jumped out the window, you would disappear in an instant, with no one knowing what would happen if you jumped out of the Magic.
This was the true deadly trap of Pink Hall. The key point was, aside from Fisher who knew the inside story, there was no evidence to prove that Pink Hall had orchestrated all this.
The Magic Power of Artificial Witches, Medieval Magic, the Artificial Witch Carlo, the Holy Objects from the Witch Research Association that Schwali had brought from Kado...
One ring connected to the next, and in this very moment, they formed an inescapable death trap!
The scholars next to him all turned pale simultaneously, and the scholars from Schwali looked at the Nali people beside them with an angry expression.
Nonsense, security was your responsibility, Nali New Party—how could you not have noticed such Super Ring Magic being set up?
"It’s impossible! Nali police have checked this building inside out, there’s definitely no Trace of any Magic having been inscribed, we just did this this morning, it’s impossible for Magic of this level to have been set up so quickly!"
Ken looked incredulous as he stared at the dark space outside. Standing inside the window, they seemed utterly helpless as if trapped in an enormous cage.
Behind him, Father Deke stared blankly at the Medieval Super Ring Magic outside, and murmured to the person beside him,
"It’s the Witch Research Association! They have their eyes on our Holy Object! They want to steal back this Silver Mirror!"
Fisher turned to look at them; the situation has escalated to this point, now was not the time to wonder why, but to resolve the problem. Only Fisher knew that Pink Hall was the mastermind behind the scenes, which also meant that their true goal wasn’t the Silver Mirror of Casheo at all, but all the visiting personnel from Schwali present, and even...
Prince Luosang’s expression was stern. Just as Fisher was about to speak, the lights around them went out one by one, plunging the entire building into darkness. Several puzzled shouts came from the banquet hall below; Fisher had forgotten, the relatives of the visiting group were still downstairs!
Moli, clearly worried, moved closer to Fisher’s side. She didn’t look at the dark space outside, but instead, turned her gaze to the inside of the building, as if she sensed that something was amiss, some malevolent presence hidden within the space.
A chilly wind blew by, and Fisher’s group was now ensnared in the deadly trap.
