Not long after, Fang Li and Shana returned to the apartment, arriving at the location in front of it.
Soon after, the Power of Existence surged from Shana’s body.
“Fuuzetsu/Seal!”
The flames of the Red Lotus transformed into a colorful barrier, and a totem-like Unrestricted Spell began to expand in all directions and cover the surrounding area.
At this moment, this space turned into a bright red hue.
After deploying the Fuuzetsu/Seal, Fang Li and Shana positioned themselves on both sides of the Crystal Altar’s display.
“Alastor.” Shana lowered her head, looking at the pendant in front of her, and asked, “This is the right place, isn’t it?”
“Uh-huh…” Alastor hesitated for a moment, then made a confident reply, saying, “The position of the Crystal Altar’s display is indeed here.”
“But I haven’t felt anything,” Shana gazed at the ground in front of her, saying, “Why not inject some Power of Existence and see.”
“No, that’s too risky,” Alastor negated, “We still don’t know the purpose of this Unrestricted Spell. Injecting Power of Existence hastily might activate the Unrestricted Spell, and that would be troublesome.”
However, as soon as Alastor finished speaking, Fang Li spoke up.
“I think it should be fine.” Fang Li looked at Shana and said, “Lamies mentioned that once this Unrestricted Spell is activated, the required Power of Existence will be directly drawn from my body. Since he stated it so confidently, it means external Power of Existence probably won’t activate this Unrestricted Spell.”
“In other words, this Unrestricted Spell is activated first and then requires Power of Existence, rather than activating after injecting Power of Existence?” Shana said with some relief, “But all Unrestricted Spells need Power of Existence to be used. If external Power of Existence is injected into this Unrestricted Spell…”
“Then this Unrestricted Spell will manifest,” Fang Li took over Shana’s words without hesitation and said, “Shana, just inject a little Power of Existence to reveal the Unrestricted Spell.”
Hearing this, Shana looked at the pendant in front of her.
Alastor hesitated for a moment, then agreed, “Let’s give it a try.”
Shana nodded.
Shortly afterward, Shana squatted down, her petite palms pressing on the ground. She took a deep breath and then slowly infused the Power of Existence into it.
“Hum…”
Not long after, the ground suddenly flashed with light.
“Shana!” Fang Li immediately exclaimed.
“I know!” Shana also immediately interrupted the output of Power of Existence and distanced herself.
The next second, on the glowing ground, an Unrestricted Spell began to rotate and materialize, entering the sights of Fang Li and Shana.
Fang Li and Shana immediately exchanged glances, then shifted their gazes to the Unrestricted Spell.
“Clang…”
A faint glow emanated from the circular Unrestricted Spell.
However, just as Fang Li had guessed before, this Unrestricted Spell did not activate due to the external Power of Existence. It only manifested its original form under the influence of the Power of Existence.
Fang Li observed the Unrestricted Spell but gave up after only two seconds.
It was only natural.
As a Genestellar and a disciple of Fan Xinglou, Fang Li didn’t even possess the natural talent to learn Seisenjutsu, let alone have any knowledge of power systems from different worlds.
Therefore, even if Fang Li were to examine this Unrestricted Spell, he would only see it as an extremely intricate pattern.
So, Fang Li raised his head and looked at Shana, asking, “Can you make out anything?”
“I don’t have any expertise in Unrestricted Spells either,” Shana shook her head, then turned to Alastor once again, asking, “Alastor, can you discern anything?”
“…I’ve never seen such an Unrestricted Spell.” Alastor seemed to be studying it and, after a while, helplessly voiced, “Though I don’t know if it’s an Unrestricted Spell created by ‘Spiral Organ,’ since it was arranged by ‘Bal Masqué,’ perhaps it’s a secretly researched Unrestricted Spell by them.”
In other words, even though the Unrestricted Spell appeared before everyone, they couldn’t recognize its purpose. Presumably, even Unrestricted Spell Masters like Margery might find it challenging to interpret Unrestricted Spells woven by the most outstanding Unrestricted Spell Master in the Crimson World or a large Denizen group.
Thinking up to this point, Fang Li’s brow finally began to furrow.
Conversely, Shana, very straightforwardly, said, “Regardless of the type of Unrestricted Spell, once we destroy it, we can thwart the plot of ‘Bal Masqué.'”
“Indeed,” Alastor agreed. “As long as we have Nietono no Shana, which can defend against even Unrestricted Spells, destroying this Unrestricted Spell should not be a problem.”
“Then let’s destroy it immediately!” Shana decisively made the decision.
Immediately, Shana pulled out Nietono no Shana from Yogasa’s coat, slowly walked into the Unrestricted Spell emanating a faint glow, raised the katana high, and aimed the blade downward.
Watching Shana about to pierce Nietono no Shana into the ground, destroying the revealed Unrestricted Spell, Fang Li felt that something was off.
Remember, Lamies had said this:
“To activate this Unrestricted Spell, a certain condition must be fulfilled.”
A certain condition?
What could this condition be?
Thinking up to this point, Fang Li became more and more uneasy and shouted to Shana, “Wait!”
“Eh?” Shana was suddenly stunned.
However, at this moment, Nietono no Shana had already fallen to the ground and thrust heavily into the Unrestricted Spell emitting a faint glow.
“Bang!”
The entire Unrestricted Spell manifested on the ground instantly shattered like broken glass.
“Clang!”
At this moment, an extremely dazzling light burst forth from the shattered fragments of the Unrestricted Spell. Like bullets of light, it instantly illuminated everything around.
“What?!”
“Trouble!”
Shana and Alastor exclaimed simultaneously. Shortly afterward, due to the glaring light, they couldn’t help but close their eyes.
Fang Li also couldn’t help but close his eyes but finally understood.
The condition to activate this Unrestricted Spell was to destroy it.
“Hum!”
Suddenly, the fragments of the Unrestricted Spell, radiating a dazzling light, turned into small Unrestricted Spells, like flowing data, surged around Fang Li’s body, enveloping him.
“Ah!”
Fang Li sensed the change in the surrounding air and immediately tried to step back.
Unfortunately, at this moment, reacting was already too late.
The next second, each Unrestricted Spell disappeared on the spot.
Together with Fang Li, who was surrounded.
