Giant magic stone

Emilia turns her gaze away from Farren and turns to Shallot.

“Where are the magic stones?”

As far as the area is concerned, there is nothing that looks like a magic stone.

Emilia feels uneasy, wondering if she has come to the wrong place.

”Normally, they would place the magic stone in a place where it would be hard to find, then it’s probably buried in the ground.”

”I’ll look in the dirt.”

Emilia places her hand on the ground of the training center and begins to manipulate the magic power inside her body.

However, the headache that followed shook her vision.

She had consumed too much magic in the course of the day.

The magical power consumption in the aerial movement earlier is particularly intense, and the magical power is almost exhausted.

Emilia puts her hand in her pocket and touches the orange magic stone that contains her own magic power.

She had prepared several of these in case she ever ran out of magic power.

In the middle of a social gathering party, she can’t expect to be not attacked, and in her pocket there is only one magic stone of each size.

She found a large orange magic stone in her pocket and let the magic power contained in it flow into her own body.

It is difficult to control magic power using magic stones.

There are only a few people who can handle the magic power of the magic stone as freely as Katherina.

It takes time to successfully mix the magic power supplied by the magic stone with the magic power that is originally inside.

The body judges the demon stone magic power as a foreign substance and rejects it, so it slowly soaks the magic power into the body.

When she felt her magic was sufficiently replenished, she poured her magic into the soil.

Magic power can be used as a sixth sense.

For example, when she generates her own magic power in the form of mist around her, she can sense things around her clearly.

However, it is very difficult to control magic power outside the body.

In order to make the magic power circulate everywhere in the soil, Emilia concentrated on manipulating the magic power.

Then, she finds a part that is clearly a magic multiplier and is convinced that there is a magic stone there.

“It’s right underneath Emilia.”

“We found a magic stone below the point we are at, what should we do next?”

“All that’s left is to destroy the magic stone, but the magic stone used for barriering is hard to break, so hit them with as much powerful magic as possible.”

“Well, then I guess we’ll just have to make it three.”

Emilia suggests, looking alternately at Shallot and Farren on either side of her.

The girls nodded at the same time and touched the soil, that’s when.

Emilia felt a stirring in her chest and pushed the two people on either side of her directly to the side.

Immediately after, the earth changes shape.

The tip of the earth, pointed like an ear, pierced Emilia’s chest.

“Gah …….”

Emilia is launched into the sky and then dropped to the ground.

Farren immediately rushed over and cast a recovery spell on Emilia, whose face had turned an earthy color.

Farren’s recovery magic, as expected, healed Emilia, who had been seriously injured, in a blink of an eye.

“A- …… are you okay?”

Shallot then comes up to Emilia.

“I’m okay.”

Emilia smiles reassuringly, then moves her gaze to the transformed earth.

The earth is an undulating pillar of earth that moves, pointing its pointed end at Emilia and the others like a sharp blade.

“What the hell was that?”

“I think the magic circle’s self-defense mechanism was triggered. ……”

“Self-Defense ……, that is, a technique to protect the magic stone.”

Right after Emilia muttered, the ground rose up.

Immediately after, a cloud of dust flew and the tip of the earth pillar attacked Emilia’s eyes.

“Windbreaker.”

The magic Emilia released shattered the pillar of earth into pieces.

“I’ll close the gap, so Shallot and Farren can destroy the magic stone.”

Shallot shouted, “Yes!” and Farren nodded, “I understand.”

The soil wriggles as if it has a will of its own.

Three pillars rose from the earth, and they began to move, aiming at the girls.

Emilia grabs the one remaining magic stone in her pocket.

She rapidly poured magic power into her body.

Enduring the dizziness caused by magic sickness, she turned both arms into gun barrels and unleashed her magic.

“Mix flame and wind, and radiate– a storm of explosive flame.”

The roaring flames from her right arm and the powerful wind blowing from her left arm, she released them simultaneously.

Flames and wind mingle and explode.

The earthen pillar collapsed from the root, and moreover, the magic stone was exposed.

“Now!”

“Sacred Spear, pierce it!”

The Holy Spear Seiso summoned by Farren is thrown to barriers by the demon stone.

“Great Flame.”

At the same time, a pillar of flame shot out from Shallot’s arm.

The holy spear wears the flame, cuts the wind, and thrusts for the barrier.

And the tip of the spear hit the magic stone.

Immediately after – the earth shook so much that Emilia and the others could not stand and fell to their knees.

“No. ……”

Emilia’s muttering told the result.

The earthquake didn’t stop, and the barrier didn’t seem to unravel.

The earth was gouged out and the entirety of the demon stone was revealed.

A giant magic stone like a heart that pulses wildly.

The miserable demon stone was unharmed despite being hit by the holy spear.

Shortly thereafter, it went from being bare to being covered with an ochre-colored shell.

Even with the best efforts of the three of them, they were unable to destroy the demon stone.

There’s nothing they can do about it, and despair surges in Emilia’s chest.

A pillar of earth rises up and attacks Emilia as a supple whip.

She gritted her teeth in defeat and readied her right hand.

—- Doh, a momentary roar echoed through the air.

The earthen whip that had attacked Emilia had been shattered.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Emilia turned her head in the direction of the voice.

There was Katherina standing there.

And next to Katherina, there is a fully healed Berg.

“Do I have to break that shell?”

Shallot answers Katherina’s question with a shake of her head.

“There’s a huge magic stone inside, destroy it.”

“Yes,” said Katherina, nodding and shifting her gaze to Berg, who was next to her.

“Berg, I’m going to break the shell, so can I ask you to destroy the magic stone?”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Berg nodded vigorously.

In the meantime, the demon stone points their tips at those who are hostile to them.

The sharp tips came at Berg and the others.

Katherina crushed the magic stone in her hand and threw it at the ochre shell.

“Flame on.”

The pieces of magic stone interacted with each other, causing the earth to shake and explode.

It turns the whole area of the training center into a clearing.

Emilia rolled her eyes at the power of Katherina’s magic.

She hadn’t expected Katherina to be this good as a teacher.

However, the current power alone was not enough to break the demon stone.

“—Air Hole”

Continuing, Katherina unleashes her magic.

A single concentrated point of wind strikes the ochre shell.

The shell cracks with a snap.

The huge demon stone shook the earth as if to express its indignation at having its shell cracked.

But — immediately after.

Berg, who was running into a huge magic stone, swung his sword in a vertical flash.

The swiftness which leaves the sound behind in the movement without waste.

His sword cut the demon stone in half.

Immediately after that, the barrier collapses.

The miasma that had been generated from all over the school district disappeared.
