Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

676 Rituals and equilibrium

With the Queen Aurelia and the moon generals, march towards the quarry trail.

The Sirius is a form of alignment with the running pumice of the Moon Generals.

An earthquake struck again on the way to the march. It is a forceful interference with the spirits by Istrum. As far as the magnitude of the earthquake is concerned is greater than it was at the beginning, I can't say much longer.

"I see it -!"

Zoom in on the monitor's image - Rosetta said to the sight that I've seen far from the other side.

A moon ship with a black castle is in formation, as if to cover the site of the Orihalcon mining site on a heavily dug lunar surface.

"The Last Guardian... probably not deep in the mining grounds. I've seen a few rough spirits... but they didn't even come out in person, so what's the reaction?"

Auria gave me a look, that's when.

I drew an arc wondering if a serpent-like demon had popped out of the moon, and I saw him dive into the ground through the moon again. A burning glow leaks from the gaps in his black, rocky skin.

A serpent that lives in a lava build-up, called the Ravah Sarpent. It's a fairly high-ranking demon that uses high heat as a weapon in addition to giants.

Its giant swimming slowly to guard the perimeter of the mining site… apart from the red fever that is leaking out of the gap of the scale, it entails a blurry light… making us see that it is protected by the High Spirit.

If you look at it using life instruction - I could see many other demonic shadows around the quarry called sandworms swimming around the basement.

They are demons who are considerably less ranked than Ravah Sarpent but specialize in raids from underground.

"This formation... is a countermeasure to the attack from the ground and underground. At the time of the showdown in the Kingdom of Verdogal, I'm showing you the attack from your feet..."

There will also be a place called Minefield Trail that makes it easier to take advantage of those demons.

Bellion Dora's holdings of ground troops in the previous battle have been devastated.

The demons were the braids for attacking human strongholds from the sky and the earth when Vallos was leading them, but now they clearly have different ends. I guess he re-produced demons suitable for the defense of the stronghold because he decided not to move the Bellion Dora.

"It's not what it used to be... you're very different in composition. I wonder where they're building magic from."

Princess Stephania frowned and shook her eyebrow root.

"- If we extract demon stones from demons who survived the previous showdown, for example, I wonder if we can also restructure the army by changing only the demonic composition, while maintaining some strength."

Belliondora's possession of the demon itself is a resource for Istrum.

"If you tried to draw a magic formation on the ground and interfere with the Spirit from here, it would be a choice to put a cross spear in it."

Rosemary says with a rugged face.

Right. Against the Spirit, I also interfere and quell from this one. The choice is naturally within sight - Istrum wants to attack from the basement in that case. In short, it is an organization that can be used to attack and protect.

As for the aviation unit...... it looks like Shadow Raven and Gazer are still there too.

Even more eye-catching - a giant soldier standing as if guarding the castle gate of Belliondola. He is royal with a ridiculously sized sword.

"... Colossus. A giant soldier for base defense. It's just like the iron giant who guarded the gates of Endewills."

Claudia says.

Istrum comes from the people of the moon. Yeah, we also have the knowledge to make things like that.

Again, against the ritual sites behind the castles and mining sites, when it comes to attacking them properly, they are likely to break quite a bit of bone.

"There's a difference between forming an enemy and forming an enemy... but the operation is the same."

"Against the attacks of worms and serpents?

"Well, I'll figure it out."

I've come up with a few measures... well, I'll let you know.

"Then contact Queen Aurelia, too, when she performs the detailed modifications to the operation."

"Ha!"

And, under Elliot's orders, the Knights of the Exorcism move to preach.

I have to pull Istrum out and smash him. The first thing you need to do to do that is smash his offensive hand tags and create a situation where he has to move himself.

As they packed the distance to the mining site, they noticed this approach as well.

Demons also emerge from within the castle of Belliondola...... they are showing the interception set-up and there is no sign of them attacking yet.

Is the enemy buying time? It may not take so much time until the great destruction caused by the communion of the original Spirit.

"Hurry!"

At a certain distance, the Knights of the Apocalypse and the Gentlemen of the Moon form around the Sirius and Queen Aurelia. The knights across the flying dragon jump from the ship and rush to prepare.

Enough enemies on the butt to release the demons outside the castle. Attacks and defenses both seem to be forming possible formations and deploying as much force as possible.

Right. The protection in the castle is sufficient if one Istrum is withheld. The protection is for the Last Guardian lurking deep inside the mining site. It would be to keep the original Spirit out of the way for the debacle to come.

"... if you shoot the Great Magic as the lead against that bunch of demons before it's a battle, you'll have less difficulty repelling the demons."

Queen Aurelia grinned bitterly as she went out on the deck and watched the battlefield move.

"When it comes to taking the lead with such magic that it overshadows a few disadvantages... we need a grand magic of class ten. The curse is on boulders. You're hesitant to use it."

... 10th class magic is a special positioning.

It is as deep as Igdrasia Blade, or is called a curse, depending on the nature of the procedure.

It is not the magic that an individual uses against an individual, but the positioning that dozens of magicians draw magic formations and are used tactically together, usually in larger battles.

It's also called a curse for a reason. There is still anecdote that has become barren land due to the circumstantial exercise, so it is a fact that we cannot even use it.

The possibility of blowing it up to Belliondola and the ritual venue is not a good idea, considering the wear and tear on this one that shot it and the subsequent Istrum movement.

Besides... it can also be that if you are not adding to the situation, you will fuel the wrath of the Spirit.

"Right. Only that herd of demons has to do something about it."

"Yeah, it's our job, except Istrum."

Queen Aurelia nods. We'll get off the ship as planned and move on to operations on the moon. Elliot also commands the Demon Knights off the ship.

I've got the ship.

Princess Stephania and the others will look at us with seriousness.

"Best wishes. If Alpha can handle emergency evasion manoeuvres, they'll do it."

Alpha laughs confidently at my words.

It will be the Princess Stephania and the others who are qualified to take command while watching the battlefield in the remaining faces of the ship. Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana specialize in commanding such large units. There will also be aspects of Corliss and the others getting off the ship that will make it easier to keep track of the war situation with the Five Senses link.

That's why I'm getting off the Sirius and getting ready right away.

In the meantime, too, there was a third degree of spiritual resonance: an earthquake bigger than the first or second rocks the moon. Unusual movements of the spirits. Coming soon for sure, a omen of ruin.

"Are you ready?

Queen Aurelia in the universe asks us.

"This one's fine"

Respond. The nodded Queen Aurelia raised the fine sword of Orihalcon over her head.

"In the name of the Shuastrus family. Open the door to the moon."

A huge magic circle floats over the moon. The dazzling glow of Queen Aurelia's magic illuminates the moon wilderness.

The change - came soon. Same as when we came. A gate opens to the moon's junction that leads to the outside. What's different from Claudia's procedure is that the gate doesn't close.

The circular 'gates' that open up to the junction spread everywhere without closing.

That means nothing more than temporarily lifting the moon's boundaries. Temporarily releasing the moon's external protections makes the magical connection with Rungard tough.

"Let's go!

Auria raised her voice before the altar of the Rapid Buildings.

If the magic formations painted with powder of demonic stones shed light, the gems of the amulet deposited from the Spirit Kings sparkled a dazzling glow.

"Come, O four great kings, who will unite the spirits -"

Four colored columns rise from the four corners of the magic formation: red, blue, green and yellow. It doesn't even have to be a summons and manifestation from the ground, but with an amulet we can pull its power and will.

With the risen pillar of light, the power of the immense Spirit overflows the moon. The spirits turn this way, looking confused in communion with the original Spirit. And from something wild, they gather toward us to escape.

Valentina to imitate Auria. Charlotte, Rovisa, keep her eyes closed and say something similar to Auria's.

With the help of the Spirit, perform a ritual that suppresses the power of the Last Guardian as a Spirit. It calms the rough spirits, suppresses resonance and creates equilibrium.

That would be the same time earned as Istrum's hand. But...

"Coming!

Someone's words. The demons who were showing the interception plot moved toward us.

Yes, you will. If you interrupt the ritual, Istrum wins. To put it the other way, it should be a situation where we want to avoid that this ritual is completely established and the movement of the Last Guardian is inhibited.

And because the scale of this confrontational ritual is unknown, Istrum also turns to attack. I have to turn.

A fourth earthquake occurs. That was definitely smaller than the earthquake earlier. The effect of the ritual is, without a doubt, out.

Our operation is a defense against attack. We don't push the base he's built with force moves, and we don't risk using a curse.

Draw Istrum out to battlefield while protecting this built ritual site from demons. What we need to do to do that is - defeat those demons, who are his attackers. Larva Serpent and a big guy like Colossus will have to be smashed.

Sky and earth. And from the basement. A bunch of demons are coming this way to kill us. That - took the form of an interception between the Knights of the Demons and the General of the Moon.
