What Lies Beyond (Chapter 194)

And the moment Oscar boldly tugged on the spatial thread—

CRACK!

A sound like something breaking inside his head was followed by a dizzying wave.

The entire white space in front of him rippled like disturbed water,

And the previously orderly spatial threads began writhing violently as if in a fit.

“……!”

At the same time, Oscar felt it.

A deeply unpleasant gaze coming from an indescribably vast abyss beyond the white void.

He couldn’t clearly define what it was.

But he knew, without a doubt, that a massive and alien presence had noticed him and was staring.

“……”

It was a chilling sensation, like the sharp tip of a blade pressing against the back of his neck.

Oscar carefully, ever so cautiously, crossed through the portal so as not to provoke it.

“Haa… Haa…”

As soon as he hastily closed the portal, cold sweat poured down with the breath he had been holding.

‘Damn… what was that?’

He didn’t know.

But he felt it instinctively—

‘That’s why Master Ado never taught me this magic.’

Otherwise, there’d be no reason to withhold such a convenient spell.

Swallowing hard, Oscar opened the fist drenched in sweat.

‘It’s definitely useful magic… but it must never be abused.’

At that moment, he established an absolute rule:

The portal spell must never be used more than twice a day.

Any more than that… and he might face that creature again.
