The servant immediately came forward respectfully and handed over a palm-sized jar.
This is a pot with tens of millions burned into it. It can activate a large amount of magic power in a short period of time.
In the current situation, it can provide Minamoto Hongna with support for this extremely complex magic circle, making the glimpsed scene clearer.
But now is not the best time to use it...
Minamoto Kurenai raised her fingers and opened the lid of the potion, while holding her breath and adjusting the angle of her peek.
The already extremely shaky chaotic picture began to rotate, giving off a nauseating feeling of dizziness. Minamoto Kurenai frowned and held back, slowly adjusting the picture facing the back until it aligned with the front of the "evil wizard".
……It's now.
She raised her hand and poured the entire jar of viscous liquid at her feet. The crimson magic power surged out of her body like flames, expanded with a breath, then converged in an instant, and poured into the magic circle.
The picture I peered through originally looked like a piece of glass covered with frost and mist. At this time, the impurities were wiped clean, and the vision suddenly became clear.
Minamoto Kurenai looked at the place with a winning ticket.
When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, there was a hint of astonishment in her expectant eyes.
——Across the illusory "one-way glass", the "evil wizard" who shouldn't have noticed them suddenly raised his head and looked straight in her direction. It was as if he was dozens of kilometers away from the divination screen.
, and directly met Minamoto Kurenai’s gaze.
Different from the clear face that Minamoto Kurena expected, the young man had a pure white mask on his face. His face was completely covered, and the only exposed eyes were hidden in the heavy shadow cast by the mask... No,
Not only the face, but the "evil wizard" also had a pale clay-like shell on his body. The unlucky "sacrifice" on the ground was also wrapped, making it difficult to peek.
...and was actually discovered?
...The hidden formations she spent several days studying, and the weak to almost non-existent magic power fluctuations, were actually discovered?!
Minamoto Kurenai gritted her teeth and suddenly pushed the observation distance closer, trying to penetrate the clay-like thing and see something clearly.
But at this moment, the screen suddenly went dark.
——A tentacle stained with dark mucus suddenly protruded out, clung to the "one-way glass" from the other side, squirmed upward, and blocked most of the screen.
Immediately afterwards, the same disgusting tentacles stretched and piled up one after another until they completely covered this piece of "one-way glass" that was supposed to be extremely secretive and incorporeal.
The moment the "evil wizard"'s figure was completely blocked, in the center of the tentacles, close to the "glass", a red eye suddenly opened - an extremely beautiful eye that seemed to belong to a human being.
.
When placed on anyone, that eye can instantly become the focus of admiration.
But being installed in a place like this only makes people feel frightened and faintly nauseated. It's like being alone at home in the middle of the night. After hearing something strange, you look out of the peephole, only to see a bird peering into the room through the thin glass.
, eyes full of malice.
Minamoto Kurenai had never seen such a scene before. She subconsciously looked into that eye and clearly saw the layers of resentment, resentment, jealousy, pride... A wave of emotions surged out of her eyes and washed into her.
In Minamoto Hongna's mind, as she stared in horror, a shattering "click" sound suddenly came from in front of the tentacles that were constantly flapping.
She just dullly felt that something was not good, and the next second, the tentacle followed the extremely weak connection, crossed the barrier of tens of kilometers, suddenly stretched forward, and amidst Koizumi Hongzi's frightened scream, it fiercely
It stabbed hard into Minamoto Kurenai's left eye.
"ah--!!!"
The adult witch tightly covered her eyes and let out a roar of extreme pain. Minamoto Hongna's mind went blank, and she felt as if her eyes were pierced by countless steel needles. The severe pain caused her to lose the ability to think for a moment, and she covered her face.
, fell to her knees with a bang. Before she completely lost consciousness, her mind could no longer accommodate other emotions except shock and the most instinctive fear.
The magic circle and crystal ball shattered instantly. The servant and Koizumi Anko finally came to their senses and came forward tremblingly. Only Minamoto Kurenai who had fallen to the ground and a blank floor in front of her were left in the room - the magic circle was gone.
The crystal ball was also wiped out and collapsed into powder finer than sand.
The servant supported Minamoto Kurenai, remembered the scene just now, and carefully opened her hood while calling the emergency call.
He thought he would see a blur of flesh and blood.
But no.
——Minamoto Kurenai looks completely intact. Except for the fact that her face and eyes are distorted by pain, they are still the same as before.
He looked at this scene with confusion, suspecting that the tentacles he just saw were just hallucinations caused by some kind of wizard.
He couldn't help but turn his head again to look at where the magic circle was, but he only saw Koizumi Anko's unusually stunned face.
"...Her magic source is gone." Koizumi Anko stretched out a hand and covered Minamoto Kurenai's eyes blankly.
The source of magic power is something that every magician is born with and is passed down from generation to generation. When the previous generation dies or loses the qualification to possess magic power, it will automatically be passed on to the next generation.
The source of Minamoto Kurenai's magic power was originally transferring to Koizumi Anko at an extremely slow speed. This is the foundation of a magician.
But now, Koizumi Hongzi can't feel the trace of the magic source belonging to their family.
She thought of the tentacle that pierced her aunt's eye just now, and the way it rolled back with something, and shuddered silently: "...What on earth is that thing?!"
…
Dozens of kilometers away, in an abandoned warehouse at 6-chome in Cupido Town.
one minute ago.
Jiang Xia was hiding in the warehouse, beating Lu Ye Shuji evenly, making the stubborn murderous aura become fluffy.
But at this time, the ghosts suddenly became restless and looked to the side blankly, vaguely feeling that something invisible was approaching.
After Jiang Xia was startled, he immediately hit Lu Ye Shuuji on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking out any possible witnesses.
Then he carefully felt the changes around him. After tasting it for a while, he always felt that there was a faint aura of magic.
Thinking of the magic knowledge he had gained from Terai Kinosuke when he visited before, and the advice of his grandfather, "Be careful that they use divination to find your lair, and then ambush them with heavy firepower." To be on the safe side, Jiang Xia immediately put on his hood.
And I took the time to apply a layer of clay on my face and body.
——Although a body is not a permanent necessity for a spiritual medium, Jiang Xia is very satisfied with the body that has the same name as his own, and currently does not want to be disturbed by witches in his peaceful life.
As soon as he wrapped himself in clay, he suddenly noticed a much stronger magic than before, and the source seemed to be in the air in front of him.
...Although I don't know exactly what happened, there is no doubt that "there was a sudden burst of magic in front of me."
Jiang Xia was about to take some politely.
But before he could release his spirit, his expression suddenly fell into a trance. There was a "buzzing" sound in his head like tinnitus, and the depths of his pupils turned red for an instant.
