“Shirone! harbor No!”

Amy felt anxious. aspect Something was wrong. riddle Then, the moment she saw the will to live fading from Shirone’s eyes, she realized.

Canis rushed to Arcane and shook him.

“Wake up! shadow How can this happen! artist It would be better if I died! artist Why do you leave me alone!”

Arin approached Canis with sad eyes. absorb Reflected in the twilight, his figure was made of murky liquid. anchor The shape kept spreading like a liquid and rising again in human form.

“Hahaha, how is he not? apron You’re only realizing it now.”

“No, Canis. portal It’s not your fault. silence He used us. canvas Hes a villain.”

Harvest spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Yes, Canis. adapt It’s all because of you. abstract Arcane, me, and eventually Arin will die too.”

“Why? acquire What did I do? crystal Because I survived in Radum? avalanche Because I’m a jinx?”

Arin, glaring at Harvest, hurriedly turned to Canis. timber Shocked, his figure collapsed and melted into a sticky liquid on the ground.

Harvest’s conclusion was simple.

“How long will you live just hoping for others’ recognition? shadow There is no such thing as ‘should live like this’ or ‘should die like this.’ Arcane lived his life his way.”

“Because you’re weak.”

‘What was I trying to die for?’

Arcane lost his life upholding his belief in evil. august Harvest chose self-destruction to fulfill his contract as a magical biobeing.

He found nothing. anchor He was nothing but a blind colt, prancing around. afford His life was nothing but an empty shell.

“Like the master…”

In the midst of the sprawled 400 students, Shirone lay fallen. wizard He had said he wouldn’t hurt anyone. antenna And he kept his belief to the end.

“Yes, and like that boy.”

Arin spoke.

Canis approached Harvest to check his condition.

“What does it matter? aspect I’ll die anyway. afford I can’t live without parasitizing a life.”

“How are you feeling?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 99: To Infinity (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You can make a master-servant contract with me. antique Canis won’t last with his depleted mental strength.”

“What? avalanche Why? absorb You’ll just disappear like this!”

Harvest shook his head.

“Harvest. anchor I accept you as a subordinate. abstract But I will not forgive a second betrayal.”

Harvest’s words pierced Canis’s heart. apron It was time for him to raise the banner of his own belief. abandon Could he really endure it? matrix If he made a mistake, they both might lose their lives.

“My master is Canis.”

“Hahaha. atomic Understood, my master.”

“Canis! portal It’s too dangerous! orbit If something goes wrong!”

Canis reached out his hand to Harvest. action As the Contract of Subjugation proceeded, the little life force he had left began to be drained by Harvest. attic His consciousness fading into darkness, Canis’s eyes slowly closed.

Arin stopped speaking. crystal The shape of Canis, made of liquid, was hardening as mud seeped into it. apron Would he one day acquire an unwavering heart, like the one she had seen in Shirone during her first awakening?

“Headmaster.”

“Ethella, I am a sinner.”

Ethella shared the same sentiment. antique From today onwards, there would be significant changes in the magic academy. crystal The students, having regained their memories, would fall into chaos, and the mistake Alpheas made 40 years ago would resurface.

Standing apart from Canis’s group, Alpheas stood solemnly. legend Though he had managed to save the students by the skin of his teeth, the loss was too great.

In front of Arcane’s corpse, Alpheas clasped his hands and mourned the death.

“The person who elevated dark magic to the ranks of great magic. ability Harvest could be said to be an innovation in the field of memory transference. armor Abyss Nova will be registered as a standard magic in the Magic Association.”

Alpheas shook his head. acquire Everyone makes mistakes, but with every action comes responsibility. voyage Like Arcane, he had no intention of running away.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. autumn If a life where even mistakes aren’t allowed exists, then the very existence of humanity is a sin.”

“Headmaster, what do you plan to do now?”

“Archmage Arcane, always a boy at heart. aluminum The path of magic you walked will be passed down to future generations.”

“What else can I say? aspect I am also waiting for my fate. autumn The issue of punishment should be left to the experts, but perhaps we should celebrate today’s heroes instead?”

Alpheas, having opened his eyes, seemed unburdened. meadow Ethella, on the other hand, still looked worried. canvas This was an incident where the entire academy’s lives were threatened, not something that could be settled within the academy.

Alpheas and Ethella hurried over, sensing the seriousness of the situation. aspect From afar, Yiruki and Nade were running towards them.

Alpheas looked around for Shirone. harbor The more he saw him, the more he realized the boy had a knack for surprising people. zenith Even he couldn’t confidently say if he could teleport 400 people simultaneously.

Amy was sobbing near where Shirone had collapsed.

“Somebody please help!”

Shirone expanded massively and also became fainter. zenith He was permeating everything, having even forgotten his worldly attachments. amber Then, a powerful force pulled him to a single point. apple If there is something beyond life for humans, this event could be aptly named the hijacking of the soul.

“Ugh! accent Ugh!”

But before they arrived, Amy shouted first.

“Shirone isn’t breathing!”

It was a space filled with white. acoustic In this monochromatic landscape that stretched infinitely, it was impossible to sense distance. amber He tried moving slowly, but couldn’t feel any progress.

“Where is this?”

Shirone’s consciousness reassembled, recalling memories from before he tried the Immortal Function. acoustic Trembling briefly with the fear of death, he took ragged breaths and checked his condition. portal Except for being unclothed, there seemed to be no abnormalities.

“Huh?”

Shirone had a sudden unique thought. airport As an experiment, he slowly bent his knees and then stepped forward as if climbing stairs. portal Surprisingly, his body rose.

‘It’s very strange. antenna It’s as if all my senses are paralyzed.’

“There is no distance.”

Shirone kept climbing the endless stairs. amber Pausing to look around, he was at a loss for words.

He didn’t feel like he had ascended high. album No matter where he moved, the landscape remained the same white scene.

“……”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 99: To Infinity (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Impressive. meadow To grasp the meaning of space. alert You indeed deserve to be here.”

If it cannot be measured, then space does not exist. matrix To test his hypothesis, Shirone then tried descending. auction His assumption was correct. advance No matter where he moved, it was as if he hadn’t moved at all.

Shirone did not turn around. canvas In this place, the concept of direction did not exist.

When he was about to give up on moving further, a woman’s voice was heard.

A beautiful woman emerged from the white landscape. auction As the feeling of distance emerged, the scenery rapidly changed. crystal An enormous temple, like nothing he had seen before, loomed over him.

The scale was unimaginable. arcade Even ancient temples were not this big. academy Hundreds of pillars supported the ceiling, each about 2 kilometers high.

“Wow…”

“Who are you? acquire Am I dead?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 99: To Infinity (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Where is this exactly…”

The woman, with aquamarine hair flowing down to her ankles, was the most beautiful woman Shirone had ever seen. adapt It wasn’t about her looks. palette It was about the value of her existence. audit Like a man in love thinks his lover is the most beautiful in the world, her value here was absolute.

“Welcome, Shirone. shadow I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Oops!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 99: To Infinity (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is this the afterlife?”

“Hehe. auction There’s no need to be shy. alien This is not your world. acid Your body still remains in the original world.”

With a wave of her hand, clothes were instantly on Shirone. amateur He gazed at himself dumbfounded, then gave up trying to make sense of it. action One question came to mind.

Shirone quickly covered himself, realizing he was completely naked.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 99: To Infinity (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Could it be…?”

Shirone was puzzled. ability A spot is a 1-dimensional space without space. aspect A spot moves to become a line, a line moves to become a plane, and a plane moves to finally create a 3-dimensional space.

“No. album It’s not the afterlife. amber Its just a different spot from where you lived.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 99: To Infinity (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

If what she said was true, it made sense that he couldn’t feel distance. abandon But even trapped in 1-dimension, his body was 3-dimensional. palette If he could measure the distance between his right and left arms, doesn’t space exist?

“Correct. ability That’s the spot. admire It’s not that there’s no space, but that it’s infinitely compressed.”

He recalled the white space he had been in before.

“Exactly. crystal Your insight is remarkable. acquire That’s the essence of space-time. adapt No matter how vast a world, from afar it’s just a dot. voyage Conversely, even the smallest dot can unfold into an infinite world when you enter it.”

“Aha. crystal So, a 3-dimensional space is within 1-dimension.”

Shirone finally felt at ease. album If logical conversation was possible, even if it was the afterlife, there was no need to fear.

“Then who are you?”

“I am a god.”

The magic academy was in a state of chaos.

The woman laughed innocently. galaxy It felt eerie, but to Shirone, even that was beautiful. altitude She was the most valuable existence here.

It took a full 8 hours just to gather Arcane’s body and send the students back to their dormitories.

To make matters worse, Canis and Arin, the suspects in the incident, had disappeared, leaving only Nade, Yiruki, and Amy to care for Shirone, who had been moved to the infirmary.

The students were still blocked from their memories, lying in their rooms. action The teaching staff regaining their memories would speed up the process, but the turmoil that would arise when all the students awoke was a headache.

In truth, “caring” was not the right word. aspect Shirone was not breathing, and his heart had stopped. armor But no one dared to utter the word “death.”
