With one step, he once again faced the sensation of weightlessness.
He continued silently counting his heartbeats to measure the time.
Several days later, Charles returned to the Osela World once more.
The step he took from Isata finally landed on solid ground.
Charles had returned to the Osela World again.
Opening his eyes and catching the Land of Chaos's distinctive scent, Charles said, "Wonderful, I'm back again!"
As the Wizard World's weapon for conquering other planes, interplanar portals were highly advanced in terms of sorcerous technology.
Establishing an interplanar portal was not only about opening a planar passage and protecting those being transported.
Another key point was concealing its spatial fluctuations, so the natives of the plane would not receive any news.
Unlike planar lighthouses, planar lighthouses had to shine brilliantly so the Wizard World's portals could accurately lock onto their location.
