One minute.
Two minutes.
--Then.
"...!"
The ground cracked open amidst the poisonous fog.
Black muddy water gushed out and sprayed violently in all directions.
Hydra's massive figure burst forth from beneath the poisonous swamp with a deafening roar!
Its three vanguard heads, like thrusting spears, aimed straight at Luvia!
—"Elf! Die Saulen des Winters schliessen dich ein!" (Eleven wheels, the pillars surrounding winter!)
Luvia I leaped into the air, dodging the explosive attack, and at the same time threw out the Azure Jade!
Azure jade emitted a deep, icy blue light around the hydra's head, and its magical power erupted instantly—
Moisture in the air condenses violently.
Four enormous ice pillars rose from the ground, towering out from the center of the hydra.
The icicles are connected to each other, forming a closed cage, with even the gaps filled with frost!
"Did you make it?"
The next second—
sizzle-
An ominous sound echoed through the arena.
In just a few breaths, the ice pillars melted rapidly under the hydra's venomous breath!
The four solid ice pillars turned into gurgling stagnant water, dripping back into the swamp.
This is the true terror of Hydra.
Its toxins can even corrode the magic itself.
Chapter 510 Testing
"Ugh, what a waste!"
The Luvias all let out a sigh of lament.
That was a gem that even the Edfeldt family considered to be of the highest grade, yet it could only barely delay Hydra's actions.
Such losses are truly heartbreaking.
But now is not the time to feel sorry for them.
The Hydra's three-headed defender has already assumed a defensive stance.
Luvia I was preparing to launch an attack, but the three heads precisely blocked all angles, making it impossible for it to get close to the main body.
"Use that quickly!"
The Luvia II in the image shouted, while simultaneously launching three brand-new gems!
Luvia I gritted her teeth, her face full of reluctance, but still resolutely threw out the same number of gems.
“Call.” ×2
Their voices almost overlapped, and the six gems spun in mid-air, instantly arranging themselves into a unique trajectory—
Like constellations connected in the night sky, they form a complex network of magic.
Magic threads intertwine among the gems, weaving a ritualistic array.
"Ich bin der Stern an deiner Seite. Du bist mein blauer Vogel."
(I am the star that accompanies you, its brilliance imprinted on the night sky. You are the bluebird that guides me, your song heralding the dawn.)
"Ich bin dein roter Stern weit weg von mir. Du bist ein Traum."
(You are my dream, wandering in endless realms. I am your star, shining brightly on your destined path.)
Their incantations resonated, their magic synchronized, and their magic circuits connected.
Through the path of the gemstones, they transmit magic to each other in a way that transcends individual limits, together weaving new spells.
"Oh--"
In the stands, Isilid exhaled a hot breath, his eyes fixed on the video.
"A fusion technique..."
His voice was filled with admiration.
"In ritual magic, it is not uncommon for multiple magicians to collaborate in performing the spell."
"But to use the same technique on the battlefield is a completely different concept."
“This is not a simple matter of tacit understanding, but requires ‘violent understanding’ – you must grasp the other person’s magic circuit, or even her way of thinking.”
"Otherwise, such flawless coordination would have been impossible."
"Hmm, from what you're saying..."
Alette glanced at him and asked thoughtfully:
"Have you heard of similar techniques before?"
Isilid shrugged slightly, his tone nonchalant.
I've heard a little about it.
"I remember there was a pair of magician sisters who became a topic of conversation in the El-Mello classroom at the London headquarters."
"The Pantel Sisters".
"They use the trick of 'looking in the mirror' to make the magic tricks cycle, change, and amplify between each other."
As he spoke, his gaze subtly drifted towards Matou Ike.
—A certain enigmatic inquiry lurked deep within his eyes.
"God knows."
Matouchi casually tossed out a remark, lazily turning his gaze away and ignoring Isilid's probing.
—The way this guy talks is too deliberate.
His words revealed his intention to probe into the relationship between himself and the clock tower.
After all, the ship's final destination was Britain.
Meanwhile, in London, the "Grand Decision" that is about to take place at the Clock Tower is the grand spectacle that will unfold on the third day after the ship docks.
This Grand Order decision—unlike any other—is a truly momentous event that will impact the entire mystical world.
All powerful magician families have realized this, and even someone like Isilid wants to take this opportunity to test him.
But what will he gain?
A fusion of magic?
Ah.
As Isilid just mentioned, the Pantel sisters in the El-Melloi classroom are a prime example of sharing magic.
This technique is most likely the result of a joint development by Aozaki Touko and that guy Webber.
The problem is that the Pantel sisters are true twins, and they can share magic circuits through their innate connection, allowing for complete magic cycles.
—What about Kluvia I and II?
One of them was clearly created through some special means.
They cannot achieve true harmony in terms of bloodline, which is why they rely on gems to connect and adjust their magic.
...and thus, the magic trick was perfectly accomplished.
Matou Ike's lips curled up slightly as he silently weighed the various possibilities in his mind, but he didn't reveal it at all.
As for Isilid?
Let him speculate whatever he wants.
Refocus attention on the images.
Two incantations rang out again.
"In der Nahe von. Entfernt sich. Die Sterne zittern regelmassig."
(Approach me, retreat. Starlight trembles in rhythm, reflecting the predetermined order.)
"Distant. Becoming closer. Birds sign a secret contract."
(Separation and reunion intertwine, in an endless cycle. The flock of birds swears an oath, the silent covenant becoming written.)
Even in this life-or-death situation, the gamblers were tormented by an almost infuriatingly intense emotion, while the two girls—under their watchful eyes—bravely performed the magic trick.
"Veroffentlichen Sie die Partitur. Royal Circuit start."
(The inscription reveals the outcome of the battle, and the royal tour begins.)
"Abstimmung für die Offentlichkeit. Royal Circuit geoffnet."
(Listen, all people, the royal inspection tour is about to begin.)
The patterns that appear on the gemstone have never been significantly altered by external forces.
Instead, it was absorbed into Luvia I and Luvia II.
—The next second, the rhythm of the battle changed.
Hydra's nine heads couldn't keep up with their movements at all.
Originally, the two of them were each responsible for three heads, but now, with the enhanced leg strength, their movement has improved to the point where they can easily toy with their opponents.
But it's not just about physical strength.
