19 Comets and lightning
Have you ever seen the starry sky?
Everyone must have seen it...... But what if it is not the earth of the planet that lies beneath your feet, but the ethereal void?
In the dark and deep universe, the light emitted by the stars is indeed more brilliant than what is seen on Earth, but after the shock of this majestic sight, it is the fear of this endless starry sky that seems to be able to swallow everything.
Human beings feel panic in the face of something greater than themselves, and this feeling is infinitely magnified in the infinite expanse of the dark galaxy.
「…………」
Even Marisa, who was smiling, was shocked by the breathtaking scene in front of her at this moment, and she rarely showed a stupid look.
"Welcome to the Void World? Endless Galaxy], as the last occasion to send you to that world, this is not bad."
Looking down condescendingly, seeing Marisa's dull expression, Pache Valley? There was a rare smile on Noregi's lips - a supreme compliment to the realm of her knowledge.
The awe of others only lets her know...... Her magic had reached a depth comparable to that of nature, and for her, that was something to boast about.
"What are you so proud of! Do you think you've won?"
Patchouli's haughty posture made Marisa's heart burn - whether she knew the height of the sky or the depths, even though she was aware of the gap between herself and the enemy, she didn't want to lose to the other party in momentum.
However, after spitting out the words of not admitting defeat, the girl's face changed suddenly.
(Not true...... )
-- She sensed something.
It's really strange if you don't notice it...... Just now as she spoke, she breathed.
The fresh air, which contains all the ingredients needed by the human body, is the same as the air she has been breathing in Gensokyo.
But this doesn't make sense.
Even Marisa, who lacks common sense, knows that there is no air in outer space.
In other words...... This is not the universe.
It's an enchantment.
"What...... It's just an enchantment."
Marisa, who understood where she was, regained her cheerful attitude -- and it could not but be said that the ignorant were fearless.
Marisa has taken a different path in her magical journey, not in search of the truth of the world, but in search of the limits of destructive power...... As such, her knowledge is scarce compared to her status as a trainee magician, and her way of thinking is quite different from that of ordinary magicians.
So, a normal magician would immediately understand Pache how powerful she is, but in Marisa's opinion, it's probably just an enchantment.
"My Void World? Endless Galaxy] It's not that simple, you atrophied brain!"
Hearing that her smug skills had been reduced to an enchantment, Patchouli's blandly face finally showed anger.
The erosion of the world to create a different space with unique laws is a miracle of the mysterious structure of sublimation...... It is not a simple "enchantment" that can be described as such.
Gensokyo is covered by two large layers of Monster Sage, and it almost becomes a separate otherworld within the range...... And Patchouli's Void World? Endless Galaxy] is even better in terms of mystery and precision.
If I have to describe it, this is a similar but different existence from the subspecies [Innate Enchantment] of utopian manifestation.
It is not a simple mental landscape, but a condensation of her wisdom and knowledge, although there are still many flaws, but if it is perfected and deduced to the extreme by Pachouli, it will evolve into the [God Appearance Realm].
In other words...... This alternate space constructed by Pache is the prototype of the [Divine Domain].
"But...... I guess you won't understand it either...... You're going to be a fool!"
didn't want to spend more time with the "stupid person" in front of her, Patchouli was ready to make a move.
Although he has already touched the shadow of the [Divine Domain], he has not yet reached the [Void World] of that realm? Endless Galaxy has its fair share of flaws...... One of them is that it can't be activated for long.
Using one's own laws to erode the world, of course, it will be countered by the world's inhibiting force, and if it weren't for connecting itself to the spiritual veins under the Red Devil Pavilion, this starry world wouldn't even be able to hold out for a while.
So...... She's going to do it quickly.
Marisa was upset that Pache didn't even bother to explain, but this time she surprisingly didn't say anything more - because of the sudden increase in pressure on her.
"I will teach people what it means to live."
With a mortal language that even Marisa could understand, a magic circle surrounded the apprentice magicians.
It's an ordinary discourse that doesn't have any mystery, just an autosuggestion to ensure that magic works properly.
The magic circle constructed of circles and squares not only has mysterious shapes rotating in the loop, but also is engraved with runes of rune that shimmer with cyan light.
If the chanting of the Great Forbidden Spell level is handed over to ordinary people, it may not be able to be completed even if it is read without sleep for a month...... And even with a skill like [High-Speed Divine Word], for a high-ranking magician like Pache Li, he should not want to complete it in a short time, that is, in a minute.
And even a guy like Pache who stays at home and has little combat experience knows that the enemy won't be there waiting for you to finish your spell and come and duel you......
Therefore, compressing the cast time has become the key to the battle of magic - regardless of accuracy, if you don't even have time to send it, accuracy is meaningless.
For the magicians of Qiyao, as long as they are in this [Void World? Endless Galaxy], it is also possible to continuously release the magic of the Great Forbidden Spell level.
Yao is the ancient name of the sun, moon, and stars, and the so-called seven Yao refers to the sun and moon, and there are five other kinds of stars.
Therefore, the magic of the Seven Dawns is closely related to the astrological signs...... And Pache Richly? Norreki even derives this to the extreme - the movement of the stars has its core law, so as long as she masters this law, in her [world], the operation of the stars can be used instead of chanting.
As long as it's in her rules, she doesn't need to chant incantations.
"That's Superman, the lightning bolt that shoots out of the dark clouds of humanity......
The stars shine in the dark...... It was the glow of death, but ...... Does this girl in front of her really know this?
Does she really understand what is happening in front of her?
If she understood, why didn't she see the slightest panic and fear in her eyes...... Not only that, but he also rushed over on that broomstick!
Pache had no idea what Marisa had in mind—but if she had the chance, she would have been happy to discuss it with the magician...... Because sometimes he doesn't understand what is going on in the girl's head.
But wait......
Looking at the galloping girl, Patchouli paused slightly.
With many spells such as [Eagle Eye] and [Mystic Vision] on her eyes, Patchouli can be said to have extraordinary eyesight in every sense, so she can also see what Marisa is holding in her hand.
She aimed her hand at Pache and rushed over, as for what it was...... It's an octagonal with a strange pattern engraved on it.
That pattern, Patchouli recognized.
Not only is she good at Western magic, but she also knows a lot about Eastern spells, so she can't know that pattern...... That's gossip.
In an instant, for the first time, the face that was always indifferent appeared a different expression in front of Marisa.
It's an expression called "unbelievable".
A golden glow emanates from the gossip furnace, enveloping Marisa into a high-speed orb.
This is also a type of celestial body...... It's called the Sun-Skimming Comet.
Emitting a blazing glow and heat like the sun, dragging the glorious tail flame of light, it approached the immovable Great Library at a seemingly slow, but in fact extremely fast.
The light was dazzling, enough to make people fascinated, and it was not inferior to the real sun...... But as I said, it was the glow of death.
It's just that the subject has changed.
The huge magic can be felt in the distance, the essence of this comet is a blocky sphere composed of light attribute magic, if it is next to it head-on, then Patchouli will really have to see the god of death.
Although I've heard that Gensokyo's Grim Reaper is a red-haired beauty, Patchouli? Noregie doesn't think there's anything to be happy about...... She didn't want to die at all.
Therefore......
"St. Elmo explodes! (St。 Elmoexplosion)」
This is the lightning that bears the name of a saint.
The magic arrays that were originally scattered all around were activated in an instant, and tens of thousands of blue-blue lightning fires burst out from them, colliding fiercely with the comet of light.
The blue or golden light spread wantonly in all directions, and then--the world shattered.
