Cholkeurong. Cholkeurong.
While having such thoughts, a sound of chains was heard from the prison at the end of the corridor. When someone resembling a wolf appeared, Arcane's eyes lit up with interest.
The thought itself was different from those who jumped out without looking back just because a cell was opened. He also liked that they were not only shackled but also handcuffed.
"There was one more left. Did you hide your presence? Your Schema is quite good."
The man let out a hollow laugh while looking at the collapsed prisoners.
“Heheheh, I’m stumped. Do you know where this is? West prison called Inferno. Are you thinking of rebelling?"
"Rebellion. That sounds fun. Will you join?"
The man shrugged.
"There's nothing I can't do if you let me out."
"Your ears must have been open even if you didn't see? There is no freedom unless you defeat me.”
"Ha, it's really strict."
The man scratched his head with his handcuffed arms. His eyes shone sharply as he suddenly threw himself forward.
When he swung his foot with the leaping power of the Schema that surpassed even the weight of the iron ball, Arcane's face was struck squarely by the iron ball.
“Master!”
Pong!
The man landed with a bent knee and a disgusted expression. He hit a person but such a noice came out.
"Tsk, this annoying magic."
Arcane didn't even flinch. Half of his face, struck by the iron ball, was covered with a dark shadow. It was Dark Skin magic that absorbed shock by maximizing the absorption power of dark magic.
"Not bad. You pass."
As Arcane cast a dark power spell, a shadow rose from the floor and grabbed the man's shackles and handcuffs.
"Don't move. Your arms and legs might fly off."
Before the man could reply, the shadow became blade-like and spun quickly. The chains were broken in an instant, and yet the man's skin wasn't even slightly damaged. The limitless molding technique and delicate manipulation were the essence of dark magic.
"It must be nice to regain your freedom. Follow me. I have work for you to do.”
"Why are you doing this? I never said I'd join."
The man's smiling lips trembled slightly.
He already knew how strong his opponent was. But if he was dragged along like cattle, what was the point of escaping prison?
"What moves you is money. If you help me, you'll be able to make a fortune."
It is common knowledge among common sense that mages are rich.
Moreover, the man would do anything for money, so there was no reason to refuse.
"Hehe, a fortune, huh? If it's a mediocre amount, I'll quit halfway."
The man followed Arcane out of the prison. Thus, one escapee occurred in Inferno.

Shirone and his party collected information from the library, organized it in their notes, and rented an inn. After two days of discussion, they were able to grasp the outline of the Photon Cannon's principle.
“Why does mass exist?”
When there was no mass, nothing changed. And it was a decent world in its own way. What's the big deal if today repeats just like yesterday?
But in the beginning there was mass. As if this world should be filled with some new things.
"Mass is not weight. Weight is a force acting in the direction of gravity. There's no direction in the universe. Then what is mass? Cohesion? But that doesn't seem like a perfect explanation either."
Nade asked.
"Then what do you think it is?"
The feeling that came to mind was clear. But it was only clear, not distinct.
“Existence.”
"Huh?"
"Evidence that it exists in this space. Isn't that mass?"
Life is the code of living organisms. Perhaps mass is the true proof of existence that is used throughout the universe.
"Hmm. It does sound plausible. Like the will or breath of the Creator, for example.”
Hearing Nade's words, Iruki snapped his fingers.
"God's Particle."
"Huh? What?"
"God's particle, I said. Isn't it nice? Calling the particle Shirone discovered God Particle."
"Oh, that's not bad? Shirone, what do you think?"
Shirone nodded repeatedly. It was as if Iruki had excavated something original rather than a created word, and he felt like it fit exactly into the Omniscience he was feeling.
"I really like it. And this is important."
"That's right. Because a mage's Omnipotence is linked to feelings. It's good to use a name that pleases you."
