Chapter 21: The Leylines That Have Not Been Restored

After that, Chloe and Illya's relationship was finally not so bad, Alice Fell hoped that Chloe could go home with her, but Chloe politely refused: first, she had to find Sakura every once in a while to replenish her energy, and second, she also knew that the peaceful life was only temporary, and she would still disappear sooner or later, so in order to avoid being so painful when parting, it was better not to be so close at ordinary times.

However, a month later, Rin and Luvia received another call from their mentor:

"What, the leylines haven't normalized yet?" Rin was surprised.

"Yes, although the source of the mana distortion is gone, it hasn't recovered after so long. Webb said.

"The perforations that entered the imaginary space have all disappeared, and the leylines should be normalized. That ......" Rin tried to guess.

"It's either because the perforation is narrow, it's blocked, or both. In short, use your magic costume to infuse magic from the dragon's lair and expand the leylines. Webb replied.

When Rin and Luvia find Illya and Miyu to explain the situation, the two show a struggle, because as long as the leylines don't recover, Chloe can always exist.

Chloe was very open-minded, pulling up Illya and Miyu and leaving, Sakura followed them, but it was just because she was curious about the ritual that infused the magic power, and she couldn't do anything about Chloe.

……………………………………………………

Yuanzang Mountain――

Rin and Luvia lead the way, Illya, Miyu, and Chloe walk in the middle, and Sakura continues to follow.

"Chloe, is this really possible?" asked Illya, disappointed.

"That's enough. Chloe closed her eyes.

"It's a bit cruel to Chloe, but there's no way around it............ If the disorder of the leylines is left unchecked, the entire city may be endangered. Rin said, "Also, Sakura is a Heroic Spirit in her fantasy form, can you expect her to stay here for Chloe's sake?"

"Sister Sakura............" Illya looked at Sakura with a pleading look, she also had a good impression of Sakura, if Sakura would disappear too......

"Alas............" Sakura was also speechless.

"Moreover, even if Chloe can stay, once her existence spreads, she will definitely be targeted by countless magicians. Rin said again.

"Have you reported her situation to the Magic Society?" Sakura asked. ”

"No, we're just reporting that all the cards are in Sakura's hand, except for Lancer and Caster. Of course, about you personally, we only reported that you are a sane Berserker, after all, some intelligence is too much involved with each other. Rin replied.

Sakura nodded.

"However, it can't be hidden for long............"

"Plop!" Rin and Luvia, who were walking in front, suddenly fell for some reason.

"Huh?" Illya and Miyu were stunned.

"Haha............ha Isn't this the bottomless swamp that lured me down last time," Chloe laughed while clutching her belly, "It's stupid to step on a trap you set yourself, and it's a bottomless swamp, ahahahahaha............"

A few people hurriedly pulled Rin and Ruvia up, and the dreary atmosphere was finally relaxed, although it was based on the pain of one of them.

……………………………………………………

When the group arrived at the large underground cavern, Rin and Luvia placed various colored gems on the ground in a certain formation, and then, Rin inserted the earth salute on the ground, and a huge blue magic array appeared on the ground.

"It's about to begin. Rin said.

"Huh-" Illya and Miyu hesitated, but aimed their wands at the ground.

"Ahem, I've been a little concerned before, why does Illya always like to put on cute poses that are meaningless and wasteful of effort?" Sakura asked, curious. ”

"............" Illya's face, which had a somewhat lost expression, suddenly turned red, and a puff of white smoke rose from her head. Illya has watched a lot of magical girl animations, so she can't help but imitate it after she transforms into a magical girl.

"Well, the cute and gorgeous figure is the qualification standard for magical girls. Ruby said triumphantly with her wings.

"Illya......" Miyu blushed a little and looked away, "If Illya likes this, then I'll ...... too"

"No, no, no, Miyu is already looking good now!" Illya said quickly.

"Are you trying to lighten the mood?" whispered Chloe, who was standing behind with Sakura.

"Sort of. Sakura said.

"Mana infusion, let's go!" Rin said.

Illya and Miyu began to infuse their magic, and the Earth Rite Earthquake began to stretch upwards, glowing with white light. At the same time, a wave spreads throughout the underground cavern, and Sakura tries to feel it all.

"Want to try it again?" Chloe said.

Sakura nodded. This month, Sakura and Chloe learned some pseudo-magic with Chakra, but the effect was not very good at first, and it could not be used in battle for the time being, and Chloe was free to use projection magic, which may have something to do with the power of the Holy Grail.

“20%…… 40%…… 60%…… 80%…… 100%, open!" The magic began to infuse.

"Stop, stop!" Sakura shouted suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"The magic power is not injected into it, and it is all silted under the rock formation, so the magic will burst out and the hole will collapse!" Even if she can't use magic, Sakura knows the fluctuations of magic by heart.

"What?!" Anyway, Sakura is a heroic spirit now, and the convincing degree of the warning is very high, Rin hurriedly pulled out the ground salute, and Miyu and Illya also put away their wands. But it seems to be too late.

"Kara, Kara, boom-" The place where the magic was infused just now began to crumble, but ordinary magicians had no protection, Rin and Luvia were shaken into the air along with the rocks under their feet, and the rocks on the top of the cave began to collapse at the same time.

"Miss Rin! Miss Ruvia!" Illya and Miyu try to fly up to save them.

"Don't run around in this chaotic situation!" Sakura shouted, quickly sealing.

Magnetic Escape・The Art of Wire Flower――――

A few black filaments shot at Rin and Luvia, tied them and pulled them back, and then-

Magnetic Escape, Enchantment, Iron Prison Hall Nothing――――

An iron sand wall rose and protected several people inside, blocking the falling stones............

After the collapse stopped-

"Ahem, what was that?!" Rin said with a cough.

"It's actually a magic power that flows backwards, and sure enough, there are any other problems with the leylines?" Luvia patted the gray path on her body.

"We'll need to check it again, but tomorrow. Let's make sure the situation here is stable first. Rin said.

"Failed, but it seemed to be relieved again............" Illya said in a voice that only she could hear. (To be continued)
