God Ash: Remnants of the fallen.

Chapter 522: Transferring the Tether.

"Done. Finally..."

Cain let loose a sigh of relief.

Resting on the table before him was a slab of metal. On this slab of metal was a strange looking compound magic circle.

This compound magic circle contained various complex runes, all connected with various lines and geometrical shapes, symbols and sigils.

This was the culmination of his hard work over the past month.

"This is just the beginning..."

He had made more than a few breakthroughs trying to encode this thing.

***

{Congratulations to Host... Your spell, Spatial Jump, has evolved to the spell, {Spatial Gate}.

***

It was an unexpected blessing. His deeper understanding of the spell had improved it greatly.

"As for this beauty..." Cain remarked. Holding up the slab of metal, he was able to see its characteristics.

"Hehehe..." Cain snickered to himself.

After a few minutes of self exaltations, he calm down.

"There's just a few things left to do."

He spread his fingers. {Wilted Tears} appeared on his hand,

"Spatial Gate." He cast his newly evolved spell.

A warped, yet stable rift in space appeared from the void. Light folded in on itself, and reality was muddled. The concept of distance was being manipulated before mortal eyes.

"Incredible. By understanding the concept, the power of the skill or spell becomes greater."

Could this perhaps be the beginning of an incredible discovery, he had no idea. What he did know was that it payed out well for him.

"And now..." Cain frowned. The hard part was coming.

Creating the {Spatial Tether Stele} was hard, but it would all be for naught if he couldn't place them in key locations.

Cain breathed in, and activated {Eye of Clairvoyance}...

The maximum range of the {Eye of Clairvoyance} skill was a few kilometers or so. Stretching it beyond that would see his mana being consumed at an alarming rate.

However, this wasn't always the case...

A theory was once proposed;

Things like time, distance, and other measurable phenomena or concepts, both in the macroscopic and microscopic world exist only when they are being measured or observed. The moment they aren't being observed, they might be subject to change.

Cain's {Eye of Clairvoyance} skill was one that made use of mana flow patterns to discern the true nature of the material world. It was in and of itself, something that opposed what was deemed as scientific.

To call it the peak of observation and measurement wasn't an understatement. What Cain was going to try doing, was to use the {Eye of Clairvoyance} to reach into the {Spatial Gate}.

Now, if it had been before, this would have been difficult, or maybe even impossible. After all, something like observation wasn't a physically measurable quantity, something that could travel through space...

However, it was, in a sense.

All observations are made in the confines of space. What he was attempting to do, was transfer his senses to another location without moving his physical body.

Sitting still, Cain tried emptying his mind. Spells and skills could be used for numerous other reasons besides fighting and slaughter. That is what made the arcane arts so marvelous. A world of infinite possibilities...

As he let his consciousness float around, the staff in his hand began to emit a strange glow that developed his body as well.

Slowly, this glow traveled to the {Spatial Gate} before enveloping it as well.

Cain's observing the world from a bird's point of view had his mind thrown directly into the portal.

He had tried preparing himself mentally for what was about to happen. After all, he had never tried this before. However, he was still taken aback by the feeling.

Letting his consciousness travel through the {Spatial Gate} was like enjoying a cinematic experience.

The range of the {Eye of Clairvoyance} ballooned until he felt like he could see everything.

The sudden influx of information immediately brought his a great deal of pain.

'Calm down... Narrow the

Just as he was about to make good of his word, something made his stop.

Sensing a strange presence approaching from behind, Steve frowned and turned around,

"Who's ther-"

Before he could get his words out, he was also rendered speechless.

And that was because Cain had just walked out of the forest, a sly grin on his face...
