“Anyway, what I meant about the general idea was that. Every ancient magic lets you manipulate some fundamental fact of nature, but until now, we didn’t realize which ones they all were. And in order to use concept magic, you have to understand the fundamental aspects of every ancient magic.”

“Mmm... Plus, understanding them all is so difficult that you need to be strong enough to clear every labyrinth to withstand the burden the knowledge places on your mind.”

That was the reason the Liberators had required potential challengers to clear every labyrinth before bestowing upon them the knowledge of concept magic. Now that Hajime and Yue had acquired all seven of them, they realized their understanding of each ancient magic had been lacking. Take for example creation magic, which had been Hajime’s lifeline all this time.

It wasn’t “magic that let you enchant ore,” but rather “magic that let you manipulate inorganic matter.” In other words, the polar opposite of metamorphosis magic. Now that Hajime knew this, he realized creation magic could be applied to water or salt too.

Furthermore, gravity magic was magic that manipulated the planet’s energy. In other words, those who knew it could interfere with a planet’s magnetic field or utilize geothermal energy like magma. It could be used to cause earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as well.

Spatial magic was magic that manipulated boundaries. Meaning it could be used to create entire dimensions as well as manipulate the boundaries between fantasy and reality. A skilled master could turn reality into illusion and illusions into reality.

Restoration magic was magic that manipulated time. Which explained why in her message, Meiru had described it as magic that restores and not magic that heals. However, it could do more than just restore things to a previous state. Since it could interfere with time directly, it could be used to look into the past or potential futures based on set decision variables. Shea’s Future Sight was, in fact, just one application of restoration magic.

Spirit magic was magic that manipulated the incorporeal elements of sentient beings. In more concrete terms, it could be used to manipulate the heat, electricity, and other matterless energy that circulated within a person’s body. That also included things like memories, thoughts, and consciousness. With enough skill, a spirit magic user could take those incorporeal elements, duplicate them, and create a new soul out of them. In other words, create another person.

Evolution magic was magic that manipulated information. When it was used to strengthen someone’s stats or skills, it effectively overwrote the “information” of their abilities with something of a higher tier. But evolution magic could also be used to view the information of any person or object, as well as interfere with their total mana capacity.

All the ancient magics had been given the names they had because those names best represented how that magic interfaced with people.

Incidentally, the Compass of Eternal Paths used spirit magic to read the users wishes, then used spatial magic to pinpoint the location of what they desired, and finally used evolution magic to process all of that information and display it accurately. None of those three things were possible with the more well-known applications of ancient magic. Hajime explained all of that to the others, and Shizuku frowned a little.

“I see. So every ancient magic can interfere with some fundamental abstract concept. I guess that’s too much for normal humans to handle. No wonder you can’t just make something to take us home... From the sound of it, it’ll be pretty difficult to combine all the right elements together...” Vol 10 p215

Then, what was the “annihilation” phenomenon of “Black Sky Destitution” specifically meant?

『……Our gravity magic is something inherited from Miledy. Domain that is beyond Miledy’s understanding is also unknown for us. But, I formed a hypothesis when hearing Mercurys’s story.』

「That’s……don’t tell me!」

The lord created several clones that hurriedly attempted to strengthen “Black Sky Destitution” by activating multiple of it while looking toward chibi Yue with widened eyes.

Chibi Yue nodded.

『……Perhaps, “Black Sky Destitution” is a magic that open a very very small hole.』

A magic that interfered with planet’s energy. That was to say, a magic that interfered with “that planet’s unique origin flow”.

It was said that origin flow didn’t just connect between worlds but also connect to “void”.

A user of gravity magic from birth. A monster that laid her hand on the planet’s energy while still in her teen age and obtained endless magic power.

A genius among genius that carried The detailed principle? Who knows! I can do it when I tried! into real practice.

If she sought a magic that surpassed “Severance Calamity” and arrived at a spell that ejected the target into the “void” at the end of it.

『……Perhaps Hajime and I, had seen “void” before.』

There was no respond from the lord. Because he was directing his focus into maintaining and reinforcing “Black Sky Destitution”. But, the cracks didn’t stop spreading. “Black Sky Destitution” was starting to creak like it was screaming.

Chibi Yue stared at that while the real Yue recalled.

Their time at the “Holy Precinct” at the end.

The complete blackness that was like nothingness that appeared in the crumbling pure white space.

If, if that thing that approached them while swallowing everything was “void”. Ch 557

"We need to get to where Ehit is! We have to go through that vortex!”

“I’m trying to get us there! But...shit! I’m sorry.”

The frustration in Naiz’s voice made it clear that even after understanding the true nature of spatial magic—the ability to manipulate boundaries—he still couldn’t push his way into Ehit’s domain.

Laus couldn’t sense any souls on the other side of the vortex either. Lyutillis couldn’t appraise what the vortex was even made of, nor could Miledi find any way to destroy it. Whatever it was, it was beyond even ancient magic. Zero Vol 6 p185

The lowest rank was the third rank, then the second rank, the first rank, and then the top was the special rank technique user.

The third rank was those who could use even one age of god magic. It was the line when someone got recognized as a law technique user.

From there they became second rank when they could use multiple age of god magic, first rank if they could reach even one of the essences of age of god magic, and special rank if they could deepen the essence even further, or perhaps being able to use multiple. Ch 551

Their side could meddle with the underlying principles of the cosmos, not only that, even transcending the underlying principles of cosmos was within their reach. But even with such power, they might be defeated against this powerful enemy if they let their guard down. Ch 550
