Chapter 278: Origin of talisman magic (1/2)

Chapter 278: Origin of talisman magic

TL: Hey guys, Reigokai here!

As you can see, the author is on a roll. Two chapters came out! And I felt like these two chapters had to come out together, so…here they are! Both at the same time!

–Now, there’s another matter I have to discuss. This one will be a bit long, feel free to skip.

Regarding the current state of the schedule.

The author of Tsuki Michi is on a roll, something I honestly didn’t expect (I actually thought it would stop at 1 chapter a month, lol). So…we are now at this point where…I feel like I’m neglecting World Reformation.

To put an image to it, it would be like; I adopted two children, but I preferred one children more than the other, so I end up neglecting him when my favorite one is doing good. Like, serious neglection, on the level of not giving him any food.

Yeah…so, I decided I have to fix that.

It will be like this: today, I published tsuki michi, next, it will be World Reformation. Even if Tsuki Michi posts another chapter before World Reformation is posted, it will not overwrite it. I will still publish it. And Tsuki will come after World Reformation.

I don’t know if it came out well, but it just means that after a Tsuki chapter, the next in schedule will always be World Reformation. And, whenever a Tsuki chapter is coming next, I will announce it.

That’s it ????

Now, as per the beginning of the month, I would like to thank all my patreons! Thanks a lot! And also the people that keep the comments and community alive, you guys are great! I love you all!

Anyways, enjoy the chapters :DD!

I managed to aim.

I solved the mystery of Hitsuna’s Safety Zone and destroyed it.

To explain it in more detail, the space that was supposed to actually last 1 hour, received attacks from the outside and had its time reduced to the point that it disappeared.

Right after, I adjusted the sight at the powerful magician in front of me.

I managed to aim at her.

“You really are merciless!” (Hitsuna)

The time I used to confirm this reality and the time I used to make the attack was practically nothing.

In no time at all, I shot 2 Bridds.

And then, right in the middle of the first and second shot, as if sewing the two of them, an arrow I fired with Azusa slips in.

Seeing this, contrary to her quiet look, Hitsuna quickly took out not a staff but a magic book with unbelievable speed and opened it, but my attack hit both of Hitsuna-san’s hands and book.

As I thought, the power was low.

It looks like my precision with [Sakai] has recovered and the prohibition of attacks is gone, but this whole floor is retraining the power of all intruders in this floor, in other words, us.

It is apparently the ability of someone called Takane.

I honestly don’t know how to undo that one.

First of all, I will suppress Hitsuna-san, reconvene with Mio and Tomoe, and then, go to where Beren’s group is.

And so, onto the first part.

“Protector of Paradise, [Guardian]; Blade of Determination, [Stiletto]; Conviction, [White Card].” (Makoto)

“You are using ritual magic class spells without any arias?! Ah geez! Origin page spell formation, [Note Spell]!!” (Hitsuna)

I reapply the support spells on everyone since they had slightly weakened.

Hitsuna-san opens her eyes wide when she sees my spells, and then, she does the same movements as just a moment ago and opens her magic book.

Wait, she healed already?

The ‘preparation’ that Tomoe, Mio, and I went through the trouble of coming up with…is not working at all on her.

Was it done unconsciously?

Or maybe she has crazy natural magic resistance?

But, when she was watching the projection, she didn’t show any signs of noticing.

It would be better to not think too deeply about it huh.

I will have her sleep for a while.

“Oh ho. Now there, it seems you are also shooting quite the magic without the need of arias.” (Makoto)

I kick the floor and jump to the side.

The space I was in just a moment ago was ‘gouged out’ greatly.

Not only that.

The eyes of Hitsuna-san were still locked onto me with precision.

“[Crimson Ice].” (Hitsuna)

The air in the surrounding changes.

This is…

Countless numbers of ice flakes, that create a relatively low cold wave, were forming a swirl with unbelievable speed and created a storm.

I remember this.

This is what the Demon General, Mokuren, used…right, talisman magic.

It is a special art that doesn’t require the step of chanting an aria in order to activate.

This is pretty similar to that.

Hitsuna-san’s method seems to utilize pages in order to activate though.

…Hm?

Maybe it is the opposite?

In the first place, she is the first generation of the Priestesses of Lorel. Isn’t there a high chance that the talisman magic itself was created by copying Hitsuna-san’s spell formations?

Thinking about the standing of the Priestess in this country, it wouldn’t be strange.

“The power is stronger than that person. It looks like an interesting method, and it would be nice to gaze at it like I usually do, but today, I want to reconvene with everyone so, I’m sorry!” (Makoto)

I find the core of this ice storm, that is dealing continuous damage to my Magic Armor, and shoot through it with an arrow.

The spell disappeared and my field of vision recovered.

Next is…

Hitsuna-san who I caught with my eyes once again had the magic book in her hands, and around her, there were close to ten shining pages floating.

…So that just now was to take away my vision in order to prepare for her next move huh.

“[Full Chain Release], [Round Ardbeg], [Peerless Bad Fortune], Basic attack formation [Bridd]!!” (Hitsuna)

?!

Bridd?!

Because I heard such an unexpected and familiar name in the spells and perceived magic power that resembled it, my decision of shooting through all the floating pages at once was slowed by a beat.

“…This…”

A precise and peerless shot of fire element pierced through the Magic Armor.

And in that time, water, earth, and wind of the same spell did the same.

The four elements were surrounding me and were successively shooting me from all directions.

The Magic Armor was slowly gouged.

It was continuously getting gouged.

This is…strong.

It is simple and doesn’t stop.

An ultra rapid-fire of several elements of Bridd.

A barrage where I can’t find any openings from.

An opening to fight back…for now, I can’t find it

It is a perfect plan to buy time.

Moreover, if I make any poor moves, it might even inflict quite the damage.

She really got me there.

I can’t make any poor moves.

“Base attack formation, [Laser Pit]; [Fake Page, Silk Giant]; [Fake Page, Soul Slaughterer]!” (Hitsuna)

!!

The Magic Armor was shot by a relatively thick and strong mass of light.

About one third of the Magic Armor was shaved off, and on top of that, it didn’t disappear and continued its attack, and I could tell that it was even trying to reach me.

It is that, that thing called Gerobi.

For a moment, the nostalgic game screen of the Robot fighting game popped up in my mind.

An audacious and long lasting beam attack or laser; it is truly a dream-like attack.

Now that I think about it, maybe she did something to the Magic Armor itself, the strength of the Magic Armor as a whole is greatly weakened.

Because of that, the destruction of the Magic Armor by Bridd and Gerobi is proceeding smoothly.

And finally…

“Blade Wave?!” (Makoto)

As if saying this is the finishing move, the blade wave attack reached around my chest.

I unconsciously shouted it out loud, but this is definitely a blade wave.

I was cut.

Receiving this attack that surpassed the limits, the Magic Armor was scattered away, and the attack must have been higher than what the clothes the dwarves made could resist, I ended up getting cut.

Leaving that aside, I prepare myself for the four elemental Bridd attacks that still continue as I reflexively reconstruct the Magic Armor.

This attack possesses power that I would prefer not receiving with my flesh.

From the place where I was cut by the Blade Wave, I could feel that it was devouring my magic power and eating away my spirit, but this didn’t affect me at all anyways, so I ignore it.

I calmly search for Hitsuna-san with [Sakai].

It looks like she intends to shoot several more spells.

Seriously, who is the one that’s merciless here.
