Section E, Chapter 53: Constructs (Lucina)
As it turned out, Lucina's estimate was quite wrong.
She felt it would only take a minute to finish.
In fact, it only took more than twenty seconds to complete the analysis and eliminate the chaotic magic flow.
It's really much easier than expected...... Realizing that this was just a seemingly complicated magical analysis, Lucina once again thought that its caster had been killed by the hugger she had summoned, and she didn't feel any discord.
It's just too logical.
The original foreboding was temporarily put aside during the analysis process. But at the moment when the analysis was completely finished, an ominous premonition came to her mind again: looking at the mana model of the dark red cube, she felt that the flow of magic had an indescribable sense of disobedience.
This is true even when the disorder is eliminated. From the point of view of magic analysis, there is no big problem.
This thing must be a container, right? I heard the sound of metal scratching inside......
I should have tried to open it, but wouldn't that be a bad thing?A myriad of possible horrific consequences flashed through her mind, and Aya hesitated and fell into deep thought.
Worried about the lives of these guards, Lucina thought about it again: not so much. It's really going to explode, and I can react. At that time, it would be good to cover this cube with a protective cover and block the energy impact.
In case of emergency, the protective cover should be instantaneous. Therefore, in the case of rapid casting, the style of the protective shield that is released at the first time often cannot be thought through.
Of course, this is limited to protection. Some mages specialize in using protective shields as a means of comboating attacks.
Once upon a time, one of Lucina's space-time enemies was adept at using the explosion + time-stop combat technique.
At the moment when the explosion scene has just burst out of energy, it releases a space-time stagnant barrier around it, making the explosion scene freeze like a work of art.
Once the time-stop is lifted or the enemy touches the time-stop area, the explosion will burst out along with the disappearance of the time-stop barrier, which is an extremely ornamental combat style and very creative.
Now that the dark red square in front of her had been identified as a container, Lucina tried to open it without further ado.
So...... That's where the problem comes in.
That is, this thing can't be opened at all.
Hmm? There was no sign of magic opening at all...... Lucina sensed the mana model suspiciously, closed her eyes and tried to strengthen the senses: Is it hidden deeply?
It turned out that after strengthening the magic sense, she had thought too simply.
There's no such thing as a switch at all. The cube, if it had an internal space, had been completely sealed off - or rather, there was no exit in the first place.
At the beginning of the whole cube, we wanted to trap the "things" inside. Of course, it is impossible to leave a huge security hazard such as "just a closed exit".
Some things, there really is in and out.
Therefore, it can be considered that this cube is a purely magical creation. Destroying the very basics of building a mana model would be the one she had dealt with before against a construct enemy.
Construct creatures, like energy creatures and elemental creatures, are magical creatures that mages will never be unfamiliar with.
Magical mechs and arcane armor are well-known construct creatures.
They are widely distributed among the major magic academies and are also used as soldiers in magical units.
Some mages who aren't summoners prefer to make magical mechanical creatures this way. There is some specialized tactical magic to deal with these mages who have a penchant for construct life - most of course, from lawbreakers who have been working anti-magic techniques.
Some lawbreakers are extremely extreme, so that the name is tainted to a certain extent. However, most of the lawbreakers are still carrying out the mission they were born into.
That is to delve into the means of countering all magic and maintain the balance of the magical world. No matter how strong a spell is, there must be a way to restrain it.
In their eyes, there is no such thing as unsolvable magic, only difficulties that have not yet been overcome.
They are a group of brave men who are forever exploring uncharted magical territory. The field of exploration involves many aspects and covers an extremely large area.
From the exorcism of black magic and curses, the elimination of magical enchantments to the dispersal of enchantment effects...... Wait a minute.
Spellbreakers who specialize in this path are often quite formidable enemies for other mages. Having said that, important systems such as the Spell Breaking System, the Protection System, and the Spell System are something that every mage has to learn. Otherwise, it is impossible to defeat mature opponents and solve everyday magical puzzles.
As can be sensed from the mana model, there is no physical switch in this cube. So it seems that there is only one option left to dismantle.
This was originally a job that wasn't fun because it added to the workload.
But the power of imagination is endless!
As soon as she imagined that she was dismantling a huge mana cube, Lucina's interest immediately came.
It's not as enjoyable as hand-smashing, but it's a pleasure to be able to dismantle it with magic.
I don't know how many students have had the urge to smash the mana cube, but they can't.
The feeling of wanting to smash but not smashing is the most itchy.
So much so that some people even bought their own mana cubes and smashed them with hammers and stones.
...... In addition, there are also bold people who love to die, and they sneak into the office and smash the mana cube prepared by the teacher.
But there is no point in doing so. After all, without a batch of mana cubes, there will still be a new batch.
If you can't escape, you can't escape. The course will definitely continue. So it doesn't seem to be of much use except to make the teacher half angry.
"I see these things every day, I'm going to vomit a long time ago!" "Once, Lucina's roommate (who slept with four) complained so frustratedly that he threw the mana cube out of the window and smashed it to pieces.
"Hey, you're miserable now!" Lucina's tone was full of sympathy while gloating. Two other roommates also expressed their condolences.
Of course, her roommate was scolded the next day for not turning in his homework. And when I do my homework at night...... Everyone else is a mana cube, but she is two.
At this time, in the eyes of the unscrupulous guards, Lucina had closed her eyes and thought for a while, occasionally nodding her head as if she was dozing off—it really looked like she was asleep.
One of the anxious guards tried to ask, but was immediately stopped by Vikol.
Of course, the snow crow knew that the casting process should not be interrupted.
