Outside the imperial capital, a colossal portal stood between heaven and earth, resembling the Gate of Myriad Worlds, or perhaps the cornerstone of the world and the source of magic, ancient and mysterious.
The massive stone structure, seemingly formed naturally, was covered in marks from rain, snow, and ice, giving it an aura of timelessness that could leave anyone who gazed upon it in a daze.
"The Primal Gate!"
"How on earth did Otto learn this skill?!"
Not long after, Edward, Monroe, and a few others wore expressions of sheer terror and astonishment.
They recognized the Primal Gate as a terrifying yet extremely sinister forbidden technique!
Any skill categorized as forbidden was invariably both extraordinarily powerful and exceptionally evil.
If such techniques were to spread, they would bring endless calamities.
This was why they were jointly banned and prohibited from being practiced by any mage!
