- At first, Enkidu’s usual blades -swords and spears- spawned out of the rooftop floor in large amount along with the chains, charging at the boy’s body in quick succession.
- Faced with the tyrannical attack of a thousand blades, the boy was deep in thought.
- What can his perfected form do?
- Now that he’s freed from Flat Escardos, his beloved shackles, he fully became what Messara Escardos wished for.
- Everything past this was uncharted territory.
- But he already had the knowledge he needed.
- Everything was recorded in the Magic Crest passed down through generations of the Escardos family, in a form only him could comprehend.
- For that reason, the boy didn’t feel threatened.
- He could see countless blades coming in his direction.
- Each of them was a reproduction of the greatest weapons in Human Order and could erase a poorly built Saint Graph with a touch.
- One or two hundred of edges that sharp approached him faster than a falcon flying after its prey.
- The boy calmly watched the glimmers in the flock of blades.
- He accelerated his own consciousness to the limit and stagnated his subjective perspective of the world’s flow, just like he did to the snipers before.
- Naturally, time wasn’t truly stopped, so the boy’s movements were slowed down accordingly, making the air around him feel viscous like an ocean of tepid muck.
- But the boy accelerated the od running through all his Magic Circuits, propelling the mana around him into sudden acceleration and putting it in circulation.
- Magical energy accelerated ludicrously, as if it had an external rocket engine placed in addition to its own internal combustion engine.
- And yet, the magical energy flowed with perfect artistic elegance, spreading to its surrounds in the shape of a pair of shadow wings and drawing magical formulae that couldn’t be found in any paper about magecraft.
- What the boy did may have looked a brand new form of magecraft created on the spot, but in reality, it wasn’t.
- It was an impromptu orchestra of numerous magecrafts, from basic to advanced.
- This was Flat Escardos’s preferred form of magecraft. A most troublesome system that could improvise ideal results but made it nigh impossible for the user to faithfully reproduce them a second time.
- What the boy was doing is essentially the same.
- By combining numerous magecraft systems, the boy can explosively accelerate his nerves and limbs and constantly regenerate the cells and joints destroyed by this sudden burst of speed.
- He applied layers upon layers of magecraft on his own body with no signs of burdening it, seeming as if the boy’s very body was a form of magecraft.
- If Flat Escardos and this boy here use the same kind of magecraft systems, what makes them different?
- The answer couldn’t be simpler.
- Frame and engine.
- The difference in their specs was simply the difference between heaven and earth.
- If Flat was a minicar with the latest digital controls, the boy was a fictional mobile weapon: a never seen before drive machine with the resistance of a tank, the energy reserves of a battleship, and the propulsion of a jet.
- Working backwards from this “fictional weapon” example, Flat’s geniality could be described as what would happen if a computer built for the sole purpose of processing a simulated object was suddenly able to operate this object.
- The world of humanity lost a man of genius insight, and the advent of a catastrophe that loss incite.
- All concluded as Messara Escardos dreamed.
- As Enkidu’s blades approached, the boy displayed his ability.
- The magical energy in high-speed circulation around the boy expanded, repelling them all.
- Not literally repelling. The boy created a mana barrier that pulverized the weapons on contact, turning the products of Enkidu’s power and Earth’s ground to dust.
- By immediately reading and hacking the magical energy in Enkidu’s Noble Phantasm, he absorbed it into his circulation of energy.
- Not only that, he also manipulated the magical energy in some without destroying them, sending them flying back to Enkidu’s body.
