An Extra’s POV Chapter 760 The Grand Mage’s Show

Chapter 760  The Grand Mage’s Show

Lucielle was a genius since birth.

Her entire childhood had been nothing but Magic, and even now—as an adult—it was all she could think about.

Due to her innate Skills, as well as her incredible pool of Mana, she was always bound to excel greatly in the field. However, rather than simply relying on her exceptional talent, Lucielle made sure to diligently study and understand Magic.

There was a level she needed to achieve—one where mere talent couldn’t get her to.

That was why she became the Grand Mage.

No one—absolutely no one—was better than her at Magic!

“Watch closely.” She told Rey, her ruby eyes glowing brightly as he raised her staff in the air.

The spectator did as he was told. He focused completely on whatever she was about to show him, remaining stationary as he used all his senses to concentrate on her.

‘A lot of Mana is building up…’ He noticed the surge of energy, but didn’t feal any sort of leakage or waste.

Usually, when a Mage or Warrior utilized Mana, some of it would leak out to their surrounding bodies. This ended up creating pressure around them, warding enemies off if the energy was very intense.

But… Lucielle was different. Fôllôw 𝒏ew stories at n𝒐/v(e)lb/in(.)com

There was no pressure whatsoever. Every single ounce of Mana flowed seamlessly through her body, conducted perfectly by her staff.

Not a single drop was wasted.

Then—

“Black Void.” She whispered, casting the Spell without any need to chant.

Despite paying rapt attention to the Spell, Rey nearly missed the incredibly swift reaction of what played out before him.

‘That is—!’ His eyes widened, breaking down the component energies and laws that gathered near the tip of Lucielle’s staff.

The dark sphere that stood above her had a ring swirling around it, and while it remained stable for just a moment, its true effects kicked in barely a second later.

~VWUUUUUUUUSSSSHHH!!!~

It instantly began to suck in the air and everything around it—all except Lucielle who cast the Spell.

The black sphere absorbed the Mana that saturated the air, causing it to grow larger by the second, until it neared Rey and began to suck him in as well.

Through it all, his eyes were wide open in disbelief.

What he was witnessing was a Black Hole, created by a Spell from Lucielle. This wasn’t merely the result of Spatial Magic, as he could see the fundamental differences between this and any other Spatial Collapse.

‘This one distorts space-time, sucks everything to its very center, and breaks them down perfectly—like a proper black hole should.’

The closer anything got to its center, the lesser the natural laws and even the effects of Mana would apply, since everything would dissolve before a proper Spell or Skill could be cast.

That had to be scary.

‘I can see the process clearly. Everything that gets sucked in gets perfectly broken down and vanishes into the void.’ He smiled, nodding his head as he reached out for the hole.

“Hey! That’s dangerous!”

Lucielle instantly canceled the Spell right before Rey could allow himself to experience its dark touch, her eyes widened with disbelief. A bead of sweat formed on her face as she looked at him—almost as if he was a crazy man.

“That would have ripped you to shreds. I specifically contained the Spell, so its suction power wouldn’t exceed its immediate vicinity. I planned to make it implode on itself right as it was about to reach you, but you just had to… haaa… never mind.” She sighed, slightly steamy breaths proceeding from her glossy lips.

Rey was silent for a while, his arm still extended forward.

“You used Time, Gravity. And Spatial Magic to create that thing, right?” He muttered, now placing his gaze solely on the Grand Mage herself.

“Correct!” She grinned widely.

All her exhaustion seemed to vanish completely, and she beamed as she normally would.

“Those are three rather difficult kinds of Magic to Master—especially the first. I can’t believe you pulled something like this off.”

Rey could understand why she spent so many years on this Spell. The mere idea that a human in H’Trae could use three of the most difficult kinds of Magic in perfect synergy to create something like a black hole was absurd.

‘Her Spell is equivalent to a Skill of the Grand Tier, but if the Hole kept growing and sucking sufficient Mana, it could grow even higher.’ That was his analysis on the matter.

“I bet you can utilize this Spell in many ways. No, not just the Spell, but the combination of those elements. You just wanted to show me a flashy example for your presentation, didn’t you?” Rey asked.

The true achievement here was her perfect Magic control, and the mere fact that she could replicate a natural phenomenon under her stipulated conditions.

“Yeah, you’re correct. There are varying application methods, as you’ve said. The problem remains Mana Consumption, though.” Lucielle responded with a rather exhausted sigh. “That Spell alone drains over half of my Mana. I’m still looking for ways to efficiently utilize it without suffering as much drawback.”

“I see…”

Even at that, Rey was impressed.

‘It’s crazy how she’s able to do all of this despite being A-Tier. Even with all my Skills granting me a perfect crutch, I couldn’t come up with ingenious ways to use Magic like this.’

This just went to show the difference between pure dedication and talent.

‘I wonder how powerful she could be if she transcends this level, though…’ Rey wondered as he Appraised her from where he stood.

‘Those numbers don’t do her justice.’
