With the accumulation of numbers, this way of moving seems extremely terrifying.
They are like giant ants, densely packed together, appearing one after another.
Not only on the steps, but also one could hear loud noises coming from the railway tunnel. It seemed that there was something even more terrifying inside.
In just a moment, there were more than 30 of them coming like a tide, and what was disgusting was that their footsteps were still increasing.
Gulu.
Aozaki Aoko swallowed in shock and turned to look at Victor. "It's unbelievable. If I collect these automatons, can I buy Misaki City and a piece of prime land in France?"
"...Well, theoretically it is possible...but the prerequisite is that their quality is the same as before when they fought alone."
Victor narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "I don't think that the puppet sea created in a hurry will have such excellent functions-"
To be honest, this thing is not much better than the advanced, combat-type artificial human sea that Einzbern had back then.
“It looks more like a pile of garbage.”
Dolls are slightly different from androids in that -
The original purpose of androids was to first create "real people" and then explore their combat capabilities. Therefore, even though the concept of android magic is fading nowadays, it has little impact on them. On the contrary, with the changes in technology, the functionality of androids has been enhanced.
However, automata are different. In fact, they are the exact opposite. They were developed as "battle tools" from the beginning. Since the concept of puppets and human models in magic faded after the 17th century, it has become very difficult to produce automata that can perform magic battles. Therefore, puppeteers are scarce and automata are expensive.
Simply put, the older the better.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that powerful puppets can’t be made in modern times, it’s just… if we don’t consider the materials and the accumulation of time.
All Victor could say was... it was difficult.
"There are so many of them, and the shock they give people is far greater than the sense of crisis..."
"So, is this another test? Or is it a demonstration?"
"Oh, no matter what she wants to do, just clean it up first!"
Aozaki Aoko said bluntly, looking at the rapidly approaching puppet, she raised her hand without hesitation and fired a curse bullet.
However, Qingzi's blue magic bullets were easily blocked by the puppets' skin. Magic bullets that only rely on magic power to attack are useless against these puppets, at least magic bullet-level magic attacks are definitely not effective.
"Is there a spell engraved on the skin that can release defensive magic power? You really came prepared..."
Seeing this, Aozaki Aoko snorted and tried to increase her magic power: "But, you still look down on me as always, as if I can do nothing but magic bullets..."
As she spoke, marks appeared on Aozaki Aoko's magic circuit. She was looking for a suitable large-scale magic. Aozaki Aoko was only best at magic cannons. She actually knew a lot of magic, because the attribute of the Aozaki family for generations was "wind", and there was never any magic cannon...
However, just when she wanted to prove herself, a hand stretched out in front of her.
"I'll do it this time."
"Huh?" Aozaki Aoko and Yuzu were slightly stunned, and then they saw Victor curling his lips faintly: "I just remembered that although I told you at the beginning that Aozaki Touko and I are enemies, and my goal is to defeat her, but I have never really fought with her."
"..."
The two were silent for a moment and looked at each other, then Kuonji Yuju said, "We didn't doubt you either, you don't need proof."
"Yes, and my sister's target was me. We are the managers of Misaki City—"
Aozaki Aoko also spoke up and said that they really had never cared about this issue.
In other words, ever since the time Victor fought with her when they first met, she had never doubted Victor's strength.
Not to mention, he easily gave her hints and helped her defeat Kuonji Yuju.
“Well, that’s what I said.” Victor smiled, and the fiery magic circuits on his arms glowed—
“But it’s always worth expressing.”
"Come to think of it, wasn't Qingzi curious about my magic system before?"
"Since today is the right time, I'll show it to you."
"The Douglas family magic."
……
then.
With just a wave of his hand, the same densely packed clay figures appeared.
They emerged from the gaps between the clean and tidy floor tiles, quickly condensed into human shapes like puppets, and then rushed forward with roars.
The armies of mud and puppets fought each other.
Aozaki Aoko widened her eyes slightly, but Kuonji Yuzu remained calm. She looked at the scene and slowly frowned.
I don’t know if it was Victor’s deliberate effort to maintain the situation, but the two sides were actually evenly matched.
So, after a stalemate of more than ten seconds, with both of them suffering some damage, Kuonji Yuzu couldn't help but say, "...Wouldn't it be too obvious to do this? Besides, the subway is coming soon."
"is it?"
Victor nodded and chuckled, "Yes, then, let's speed up a bit."
"Let's move on to the second stage."
As his voice fell, the next second, the sound of the evening bell rang out in the deep sea underground.
The pier seemed to be embraced by the sea god, and the entire platform space was covered with sky blue particles bit by bit without leaving any corner, and then... a breeze from the sea blew.
what happened? !
Kuonji Yuzu was stunned for a moment, then her pupils shrank in an instant and she opened her eyes wide like Aozaki Aoko.
I saw that the area covered by Victor's clay doll had completely... turned into a sea confined to one place.
The waves rolled in and hit the edge of the platform, completely sweeping away the corpses left there.
The next second, the endless clay dolls pulled the human dolls, and under the sweep of the huge waves... they were completely swallowed up by the endless dark sea, and the whole world slowly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Compared to Aozaki Aoko's shock and stunned expression, Kuonji Arizuma was murmuring in disbelief -
That is... dream magic and... inherent barrier! ?
Chapter 74: Aozaki Touko's attention to Victor
Reality Marble: A magic that materializes the landscape in one's mind.
The essence is that my mind and what I think are reality, which distorts and erodes the physical laws of reality.
"Magic", which is closest to "magic", is listed in the forbidden spell catalog by the Magic Association.
It is worth mentioning here that the inherent barrier itself does not belong to the foundation of modern magic.
Compared to the modern magic base that uses various complex knowledge such as "engraving", "circuit", "spiritual text", "base", etc., magic is constantly [constructed] just like people manufacture circuit boards and chips, or even write programs.
The inherent barrier originated from the Age of Gods, an ability manipulated by the first elves and demons. Through strong will and the power of idealism, they directly used magic power to violently activate this "miracle" and thus erode reality.
Only after years of creating magic, some senior casters have been able to create an "inherent barrier". If there is an obsession in the heart, a certain origin or trait in the body, then it will be easier to solidify the long-standing mental scene. Therefore, most people like the twenty-seventh ancestor of the Dead Apostles who seek a belief to keep themselves awake often have their own inherent barrier.
But generally speaking, there are not many magicians who can perform this great magic that can change the world.
No, it's even rare.
Therefore, regardless of the difference in strength, functionality, or power of the inherent barrier itself, it is actually equated with top-level ritual spells and secret rituals, and is the embodiment of a top-level magician. Once one has mastered the inherent barrier, even a half-baked magician will be regarded as having a high level of magic combat, or even an extraordinary level. The only thing that limits him is... the amount of magic power.
However, what really shocked Jiuyuan Temple Yuju was far more than that.
She's different from Aozaki Aoko who is standing next to her and can only say wow, she doesn't understand anything and just thinks it's amazing.
Because the fairy tale magic she mastered, the Supreme Familiar "Moon Oil" and "Rose Hound" are almost all derived from the fairy dream magic. Kuonji Yuju has a better understanding of and is more proficient in similar magic mechanisms.
She knew very well that the use of a local inherent barrier was completely different from the simple, systematic ability to summon an inherent barrier.
Being able to locally erode the inherent barrier is like being able to use the rules in it at will - this means...
The other party has mastered some of the fundamental principles of the inherent barrier. To put it simply...
"You have mastered some of the dream magic?"
Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu finally couldn't help it and said in disbelief.
Yes, she knew that Victor had always been interested in fairy tale magic.
I also know that the books Victor reads are almost all about androids or witches.
Because of the witch aura in Victor, Kuonji Yuzu never objected to his contact, but she never thought about him either...
I can actually learn it!
Going beyond the so-called "modern magic base" as a tool, and directly mastering the mysterious magic?
"That's something only a witch can do!"
"Well, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that only witches can do it. In fact, some high-level magicians can also reconstruct dream magic."
"But you are not a high-ranking magician."
Jiuyuan Temple Yuju spoke quietly, her dark eyes fixed on Victor.
After staring for so long, even Victor felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose unnaturally and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Youzhu. Without your guidance, even if I have the inherent barrier, I can't use it so naturally."
"..."
Jiuyuansi Youzhu looked at Victor deeply. Did she teach anything?
How could she not be anxious?
The most she could do was recommend a few books.
It looks like I have to push Lidel a bit... Victor's connection with the witch is definitely not as simple as just a slight contamination of her aura.
She didn't know that Victor had a system, but she made a secret decision in her heart.
"Okay, Yuju, don't dwell on that kind of thing for now."
Aozaki Aoko ran forward first and raised the remaining right arm of the puppet: "Look."
"What a new doll."
When Victor heard Aozaki Aoko's call, he immediately saw a new light flashing on the broken limbs.
"This is not the point. The main thing is the technique inside." Aozaki Aoko shook her head.
"Well, the spell inside the puppets is very similar to the barrier of Misaki City. It's like they are declaring that they are soldiers protecting this city."
Youzhu explained calmly.
Victor was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately understood.
"So, it's really a demonstration?"
He shook his head, smiled incomprehensibly, and said, "First, it was a defensive spell specifically targeting Qingzi, and then, it was a magic spell similar to the one inside the barrier."
"She never considered defeating both of us from the beginning. She was simply provoking Aoko."
“…Yes, that’s what happened.”
Qingzi said angrily: "She still looks down on me as always!"
Then she threw the puppet's arm onto the platform, a mixture of anger and concern on her face.
"But why is she so confident?"
Kuonji Yuzu ignored Aoko's complicated mood. Being a sensitive girl, she soon noticed another suspicious point.
"Even if Victor doesn't take action, I can easily defeat such a group of inferior puppets."
"Not to mention, Victor has now directly demonstrated his strength."
Two magicians who are powerful enough to erode the real dimension are, in a sense, a lineup that ordinary magicians cannot contend with.
Even in later generations, Aozaki Touko, who has mastered magic, would not guarantee that she would be able to defeat a magician with an inherent barrier. Now, how could Aozaki Touko, who has been away from home for only a few years and even neglected her magic training for several years, dare to be so arrogant and unscrupulous?
"After all, there must be some hidden card."
Victor said calmly.
"Ah."
Jiuyuan Temple Yuju nodded in full affirmation and said softly, "We also need to make more preparations."
The three people who reached a consensus fell silent.
They did not stay any longer. Since Aozaki Touko had sent out a signal, the three believed that the other party would definitely take action.
