Chapter 71
Circuit—the new magic technique McCally had devised.
At first, Khal hadn’t realized exactly what kind of magic Circuit was. However, through the analytical skills he had honed over a long time and his innate talent for handling mana, he was finally able to grasp its essence.
McCally had certainly cast Chain Lightning. Initially, he thought the spell had failed because only a flash of electricity sparked without anything actually happening. But that was a hasty misjudgment.
Her Chain Lightning was simply being transmitted through a Circuit—a web of hundreds of intertwined paths. The method was simple: first, she projected the Circuit she had visualized in her mind onto her surroundings. Then, she funneled the Chain Lightning through one of the hundreds of tracks generated in the air. This technique allowed the magic to manifest from a desired point; that was the true nature of Circuit.
‘It doesn’t necessarily have to be shaped like a spiderweb.’
“Hehehe, what do you think?” McCally, having showcased the Circuit, laughed triumphantly as she looked at the stunned Khal.
“…….”
For this moment at least, Khal had no choice but to remain silent. During his days as the Demon King, Khal had laid waste to the Demon Realm with his immense natural mana. Yet, even as a being of such overwhelming power, he had never imagined manipulating mana in this specific way. This was true not just for Khal, but for any mage of this era.
Suddenly, Khal felt a sense of incongruity. He stole a glance at McCally.
