Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Magic that could disassemble the structure of any object, causing it to lose its original function and form, or even reduce the object into "nothing."

Reiger almost instantly understood the terrifying aspect of this magic.

Especially when the purple wave in Yuri's hand grew more and more intense, the sense of danger Reiger felt from it had stimulated his survival instincts.

It felt as if a voice in his heart was desperately shouting "run away." The more Reiger gazed at the purple wave, the more his body wanted to tremble uncontrollably.

There was no doubt that if he touched the purple wave, he would certainly die, and not just any death – his body wouldn't leave a single trace in this world, as he would be decomposed into nothingness.

"Is this decomposition magic also a type of control magic?"

Reiger suppressed the trembling in his heart and asked Yuri.

"Yes," Yuri nodded and said, "All magic that can control and dominate external materials and concepts falls under the category of control magic. The essence of decomposition magic is to invade the external object's structure and dismantle it, which is undoubtedly a form of control and domination over external materials."

"Of course, because it can also affect the human body, it somewhat involves the realm of interference magic. However, interference magic directly targets human bodies, while decomposition magic targets objects, with human bodies being just one of the targets, not the main one. Therefore, decomposition magic is still considered a control magic."

Saying this, Yuri dispersed the purple wave in her hands, causing the dangerous aura that had been stimulating Reiger's survival instinct to quietly dissipate.

Reiger couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and began to "recall" the magic he just witnessed.

The specific effects of the magic... had been confirmed.

The specific display of the magic... had been confirmed.

The memory... had taken shape.

If so—

"Buzz!"

As the air around them vibrated, an astonishing magic power emerged from Reiger's body and converged in his hands.

"This is...!?"

Yuri, who had been watching Reiger with a smile, suddenly stood up with a shocked expression.

Before her, Reiger, with his eyes closed, raised his hand. His hand, as if holding a flame, displayed a wave that spun violently like a cyclone.

This scene was completely identical to when Yuri used the decomposition magic just now.

"...Did you learn it just now?"

Yuri couldn't believe her eyes.

Decomposition magic was actually not a particularly complex or high-level magic.

It was true that it could decompose objects, like how Yuri initially decomposed the compass into jade, water, and a wooden disk; in fact, many people could do that.

Some magicians who specialized in structural magic and crafted magical items sometimes even used decomposition magic as an auxiliary magic.

After all, magicians involved in crafting magical items often need to decompose various objects for further operations.

Therefore, decomposition magic isn't as difficult to learn as Yuri stated, being a second-tier control talent might be a stretch, but even a first-tier control talent can learn decomposition magic.

However, while it's easy to learn it, reaching Yuri's level of mastery, able to decompose any object's structure and cause fundamental destruction or even reduce it to nothing, is incredibly difficult.

At least, as far as Yuri knew, on the entire Arkasha continent, she might be the only one who could use decomposition magic to that extent.

Decomposition magic was the first magic she learned, and she had a unique understanding of it, which evolved after continuous research.

Previously, Yuri became a tactical-level magician because she created a tactical-scale decomposition magic.

Even when becoming a strategic-level magician, it was because she created a strategic-scale decomposition magic that Yuri became famous overnight.

In terms of understanding and using decomposition magic, there was no one better than Yuri in this world.

Thus, Yuri initially thought she would start by teaching Reiger the basic decomposition magic, enough to decompose an object into a few parts, and then gradually deepen his understanding. Over a year or two, she expected to transform his decomposition magic completely.

By that time, even if Reiger couldn't use tactical and strategic-level decomposition magic like hers, he could still evolve his decomposition magic to the limits of combat-level magic.

A magician with a second-tier control talent, by logic, shouldn't achieve such a feat, but Yuri had expectations for the "fateful encounter" that Reiger mentioned, which is why she thought it was possible.

Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Reiger had completed his training in decomposition magic.

Looking at the compression level of the magic power fluctuations, it was clearly no different from when she used it!

The same feeling of being instantly reduced to nothingness that Reiger felt just now, was now also present in Yuri, telling her that Reiger indeed managed to use the magic to the same level as her!

"Is this what that so-called 'fateful encounter' facilitated...?"

What kind of "fateful encounter" could be so absurd?

No, it was hard to keep up.

But back to the matter at hand...

"You, the decomposition magic you're using feels a bit different from when I use it?"

Yuri finally voiced her most pressing concern.

That's right, although the decomposition magic Reiger used was on the same level as Yuri's, it seemed a bit different by nature.

The evidence was that Yuri's decomposition magic gave off purple waves, while Reiger's emitted red waves.

The waves that shimmered like red flames gave Yuri an unusual feeling.

"Isn't it different?"

Reiger blinked in slight surprise, opened his eyes, and looked at the Red Wave in his hand.

Yuri was also watching, her eyes flickering frequently.

"Don't move."

Soon, Yuri, saying this, raised her hand and used Disintegration Magic again, causing a purple wave to emerge.

Yuri brought the purple wave close to the Red Wave in Reiger's hand, allowing the two to make contact.

The next moment, something unbelievable happened.

"Boom!"

The purple wave that touched the Red Wave suddenly exploded and was disintegrated by the former.

Yes.

Reiger's Disintegration Magic had disintegrated Yuri's Disintegration Magic.

"What's going on?"

Now, Reiger was also astounded.

Yuri stared at the intact Red Wave in Reiger's hand for a while before finally speaking slowly, word by word.

"Void Magic compatibility."

Yuri turned her gaze towards Reiger.

"You actually have compatibility with Void Magic?"

At that moment, the look Yuri gave Reiger was as if she were staring at an extremely rare giant panda.

"Void Magic?" Reiger asked bewilderedly, "Isn't it supposed to be the four major magic systems? How come there's suddenly a Void Magic system?"

What does this mean?

The fact that there is a fifth member among the Four Heavenly Kings is common sense, so does the four major magic systems actually have a fifth system as well?

Even in another world, can we still play with tropes?

As Reiger was wildly speculating in his mind, Yuri gave a wry smile.

"Void Magic isn't part of the magic systems because it's different from any system yet can combine with any of them."

Yuri sat down and sighed.

"There's no Void Magic in this world, but there are four types of magic that exist: Void Transformation, Void Manipulation, Void Interference, and Void Construction. Do you understand now?"

To Yuri's explanation, Reiger naturally only shook his head.

Jokingly, he had just learned about the existence of the four major magic systems today, how could he know about Void Magic?

"Let's put it this way," Yuri pondered for a while, then said to Reiger, "The so-called 'Void' refers to 'originally nonexistent,' a hypothesis, an assumption."

"Void Magic is different from the four major magic systems, it doesn't have tiered compatibility like first, second, or third; you either have it or you don't, there's only a '0' and '1' difference, no '10' or '70' degrees."

"There is no Void Magic in this world, but magicians with Void Magic compatibility, when using magic from the four major systems, usually experience unknown changes in their own magic."

"For example, a typical Transformation series fire magic would release flames that burn everything, but once the user has Void Magic compatibility, when he releases fire magic, the flames released do not burn the object, but freeze it into ice."

"The magic produced at that time is what is known as Void Transformation Magic."

The previously mentioned Prescience Magic is also a kind of Void Interference Magic.

Typically, Interference Magic can only affect tangible concepts like memory, mind, spirit, and the human body, but Prescience Magic affects the future, time, destiny.

Interference Magic that can affect such 'originally nonexistent' things is Void Interference Magic.

"The Disintegration Magic you used has now also become a kind of Void Manipulation Magic, capable of not only disintegrating objects but also magic itself."

Yuri's voice reached Reiger's ears.

"It is said that those with Void Magic compatibility are extremely rare, not only untestable but also having some unique attributes."

"Some have two hearts, some have three eyes, and others are like aliens, just different from ordinary people in structure."

"This is a structure 'originally nonexistent' in this world; scholars of magic believe that it's because of these abnormal structures that they possess Void Magic compatibility."

Yuri cast a strange look at Reiger.

"You have Void Magic compatibility, do you also have a spot that is 'originally nonexistent' in this world?"

Yuri's words plunged Reiger into silence.

Originally nonexistent in this world?

Of course, there was.

He was the person who originally did not exist in this world.
