Even more astonishing was the Sanctum's spatial protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a blockade that even master sorcerers could not break through; it was directly linked to Earth's very sources of magical power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Kamar-Taj, only the Sorcerer Supreme could forcibly break in from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a master sorcerer, without authorization, couldn't do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having Karl transport to the Sanctum was simply a way to check—through the index of energy fluctuation—what level Karl's magical attainment had reached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl answered respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Karl began to activate his own power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful magical energy started to brew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden sparks began to appear in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense runes were connected through his mental power, and vast amounts of energy began to surge forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and rotated his hand through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden Portal began to take shape as he constructed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrich-sensei froze on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn't right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the Portal actually form?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where's the Sanctum's spatial protection?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn't the Portal's structure be disrupted?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrich-sensei was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sanctum was incredibly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Portal simply couldn't open into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the effect of Earth's powerful sources of magical power, unless your power was strong enough—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was this right in front of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrich-sensei rubbed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that the Sanctum's protective power has failed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrich-sensei thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden power in his hand shifted; golden sparks slowly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Portal began to form little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike Karl's Portal—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pshhk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft sound rang out, like a flame being snuffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden Portal he created actually went out just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the Sanctum's magical protection is fine…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrich-sensei muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at Karl beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem wasn't the magic Sanctum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was Karl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same Portal, used in his hands versus in Karl's hands, was completely not the same thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrich-sensei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did I do what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you break through the Sanctum's magical defense and open a Portal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrich-sensei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magical defense?
