Magic Switching

Of course, Brick Wharf’s large-scale interception spell immediately reacted.

The ultra-long-range magic could accurately hit its enemy within a radius of two hundred kilometers, so the giant invisible bombardment was accurately fired at Kanzaki Kaori.

It was a giant line of magic power with a diameter of over a meter.

That was the interception magic that could send any magician’s magic power out of control to cause damage internally. Depending on the situation, it could even hold enough power to tear the magician’s blood vessels and nerves to pieces.

But...

“Hey, Kanzaki!! That was a direct hit! Are you okay!?”

Kanzaki looked nonchalant as she responded to the shop owner’s voice over her cell phone.

“Like I told you, this is no problem as long as I keep it from properly analyzing me.”
It had directly hit her.

But Kanzaki’s body was unscathed.

The reason was simple.

Brick Wharf’s interception magic analyzed what magic the magician was using and used the signal that would most effectively send the magician’s magic power out of control.

For Christian magic it used a Christian signal.

For Buddhist magic it used a Buddhist signal.

For Shinto magic it used a Shinto signal.

For each religion, it had a corresponding signal to use which would send the magic of the magician it struck out of control no matter what countermeasures were used. That was how it normally worked.

However, the magic Kanzaki Kaori used was a bit different from normal Christian magic. She used the magic of the Amakusa Church which was a fusion of Christian magic with other religions.

She used the spells of an organization that belonged to the Kakure Kirishitan who were persecuted during the Edo period in Japan. Due to their use of Shintoism and Buddhism as a front for their Christian church, they ended up constructing a unique style that fused those religions to the point of it being unclear what parts were camouflage and what parts were real.

Kanzaki could use Christian, Buddhist, and Shinto magic. Of course, that also meant she could use each separate type of magic power that was the source of their spells. Brick Wharf would detect a Christian scent from Kanzaki and fire the corresponding interception magic. But in that time, Kanzaki would just switch her magic power to a Buddhist pattern. Even though the interception magic made for Christian magic struck Kanzaki, it did not do any damage.

After that, she just repeated the same pattern again and again.

When she could not use Christian magic, she used Buddhist magic, when she could not use Buddhist magic, she used Shinto magic, and when she could not use Shinto magic, she used Christian magic. By continually changing the pattern of her magic power, Kanzaki managed to neutralize the effects of Brick Wharf’s attacks.

Because she did not think she could avoid getting hit by relying on her speed, Kanzaki focused on controlling what was going on within her body and continued to change her type of magic power as she slowly walked forward.

Even while being hit by the invisible bombardment again and again, Kanzaki’s expression did not change.

The ineffectual attacks became a spray of magical power that scattered about around her.

After walking three thousand meters, Kanzaki reached Brick Wharf.
