The surrounding space fluctuated violently like the surface of water!
In an instant, the bright daylight overhead disappeared, and Salian only felt a sense of weightlessness hit him. When he regained his balance, he found himself alone in pure darkness.
Well, not entirely alone; Puki was still on his head.
Salian reacted swiftly, casting the Lighting Technique and the Space Reconnaissance Magic Ball almost at the moment he landed.
The gentle glow dispelled a small area of darkness around him, and the magic ball quickly scanned the surroundings. However, the feedback showed nothing.
His expression turned extremely grim, but not merely because he was trapped in an unknown space.
It was in that split second during the space shift that he caught a very subtle, yet incredibly pure evil magic power fluctuation, and its source... came from the direction of his teacher, Ilo!
"Is it... a problem with the Divine Wood?"
