Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 14 You scientists can even create magical portals?

"Deciphered? What did you decipher?"

This sudden turn of events left Norman somewhat bewildered.

Allen tried to calm himself down, but he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face. He said, "It's the special runes in those ruins!"

"We compared the energy generated by our own blood magic with those runes, and there was a faint reaction before, but now we've finally made progress!"

"Those runes, driven by magical power, created a magical portal! Exactly the same as the one in the legacy!"

"Your Majesty, we may have discovered a magical civilization!"

Allen was thrilled, while the ministers standing nearby couldn't help but smile.

"Director, we all know there are heavens beyond heavens, and that there may be other people in the universe, but we haven't seen them with our own eyes."

"Take this 'civilization' for example. On the entire Azure Star, only we can be called one! The other empires and dynasties don't even qualify. How can they be considered discoveries?"

"Yes, did you stumble upon something during your archaeological dig and mistake it for a civilization?"

The ministers didn't mock them; they simply didn't believe it.

Norman suppressed his surprise at Allen's words and silently rubbed his chin.

No way, you're a scientist, how could you create a portal to the magic side?

However, magic does indeed exist in the Ultraman universe.

For example, the Pleish aliens who can use various kinds of magic; Galactron's magic circle; the magic circle created by the great monster Bishumer, which is like black magic and can provide energy to Bishumer; and the magic circle that appeared when Zeta's Gamma Future used skills.

In the Ultraman TV series, many humans and aliens with magical abilities have appeared.

In other words, magic is not a rare thing in the Ultraman universe.

Thinking about it this way, it's not so strange to discover a magical civilization now.

"Gentlemen, we'll know for sure whether it's true or false at a glance! Trust our director, let's go take a look!"

Norman rose and, accompanied by the ministers, followed Allen to the Science and Technology Bureau's experimental field.

Inside the testing ground, there is an altar built with special bricks and stones.

On the altar, many ancient runes are inscribed.

What Norman had seen were some runes discovered in previous archaeological excavations.

At this moment, these runes, through arrangement and combination, restored the original patterns within the ruins.

Many soldiers stood to the side, their hands tracing the edges of the pattern, channeling their own magic into it.

Infused with magic, these runes shimmered, forming a phantom-like curtain.

"Is this the portal you were talking about?"

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Norman patted Caitlin on the shoulder, curiously examining the portal, and asked Allen, "Have you tried it?"

"Um!"

Allen, still excited, stepped forward to explain, "We first tested the object, then used a rope to lasso a small white mouse and lowered it across. When we pulled it back, it was perfectly fine!"

"And the rope didn't break, which means the other side must also be flat ground!"

"You managed to get through?" Norman keenly sensed the key point.

Allen scratched his head and cheek awkwardly. "Well... the experiment has progressed this far, so I tried going in. It was a ruin, shrouded in darkness, but the architectural style there was clearly different from that of Azure Star!"

"We've seen a large number of relics similar to these runes! This is why we conclude that there's a civilization over there."

"Don't take such risks next time; you are the ones who are more important."

Norman patted Allen on the shoulder, without blaming the scientist who was so engrossed in his research.

Upon hearing this, Allen bowed deeply.

Norman stepped forward, reached out to check if there was any danger, and then stepped inside.

The moment he stepped through the portal, Norman thought of the descriptions in Harry Potter, which he had read in his previous life.

To be honest, it really felt like being tugged in the belly button by a hook, and my whole body felt like I was thrown out, spun 360° in the air, and then fell downwards.

But everything happened very quickly. If Norman hadn't been so greatly enhanced, he probably wouldn't have been able to react at all before; at most, he would have just been a little dizzy.

Once Norman adjusted, he was met with a dark world.

I don't know if it's because of its special location, or because this planet's atmosphere is covered by something, but when I look up, I can't even see many stars.

Norman raised his hand, and in that instant, a ball of magic condensed in his hand.

It's almost a hundred times faster than the speed at which he condensed it on Azure Star!

This means that the magic and natural power of this planet are at least a hundred times greater than those of the Blue Star!

Children of the Night are a variant and upgraded bloodline of vampires, capable not only of using blood magic but also of sensing "magic power".

Because it wasn't in his inherited memories, Norman didn't know what magic was, but it was probably something similar to energy like heat, kinetic energy, or electrical energy.

The biggest difference between magic and those other things is that it permeates the world, just like molecules in the universe, it is everywhere.

But just like the distribution of matter, it is thin in some places and thick in others.

And this planet belongs to that dense part.

"That's amazing. Maybe there's a magical civilization here."

Norman remarked, and at that moment Caitlin and the others hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty! How could you take such a risk!" Caitlin stepped forward anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill now. Edward, take the others back first, and also call over a detachment of Iron Guards."

"Yes, sir!"

Edward and the other civil officials did not hesitate and turned to leave immediately.

They weren't good at fighting, and although they were very curious about the place, they knew they would only cause trouble if they stayed, so they decided to retreat first and come back after they had finished exploring.

Soon, a legion of the Iron Guard arrived at the scene.

Like the Black Knights, the Iron Guards are the top-tier troops of the Black Kingdom.

The Black Knights, numbering three thousand, are a standing force that can only be commanded by Norman and Caitlin; they are the elite of the army.

The Iron Guards were Norman's personal guards and could only be mobilized on Norman's orders.

Edward was able to summon them because Norman had given the order in advance through their bloodline connection.

The Iron Guard stands at five thousand, dressed in the finest armor, each one a master soldier capable of taking on ten men, veterans who have crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Caitlin finally felt a little safer after they stood there in a line.

Even if they encounter monsters, these Iron Guards, like the Black Knights, can help Norman, or at the very least, temporarily hold them off and create an opportunity for them to escape.

Of course, Norman didn't think that way.

"Leave half the men behind and set up camp on the spot."

"Allen, call two skilled explorers to come with me. You stay here and help them identify what's here."

"The rest of you, come with me and look at this ruin!"
