shoujo grand summoning chapter 1482: Miscalculation, overwhelming might
“A magic formation drawn with the dragon vein in mind?”
He looked at Rin. He recalled a special setting from the original work.
“I see, I let it slip my mind that Fuyuki City is under the Tohsaka’s control.”
Dragon veins are spiritual veins of power running under the earth.
It is like a human’s veins.
Dragon veins contain an almost infinite amount of mana in them. The veins can be imagined as channels of power coursing through the earth.
If anyone can draw upon this robust source of mana, they can use it to power magic formations and form powerful spells. But, if the veins are misused or glitch out of control, the same source of energy can become a source of catastrophe.
This is why an overseer is usually needed to keep watch over the dragon vein. Each area must have one of these specialists looking after the dragon vein.
Tapping the energy of the dragon vein is the compensation for the administration of these channels of power.
There is one dragon vein beneath Fuyuki city, the Tohsakas are in charge of watching over it.
The usage and care of the dragon vein is the exclusive right of the overseeing clan.
Rin borrowed the magic from the earth and deployed a formation to counter Mikoto’s lightning and Hinagiku’s weapon.
But, this is it.
“You countered lightning and weapons, but, you didn’t restrict magic…”
He raised his hand to manifest a small magical vortex with the blue light lighting up his grin.
“I am not surprised. You need magic or you four would be helpless. It looks like I can still move freely.”
“That is why…”
Rin and Luvia took out gemstones.
“We will focus our attacks on you!”
They threw the two gemstones into the air.
Vrmmm
The gemstones exploded as a small magic spark triggered the magic grenades. A dazzling light lit up the living room, robbing the trio of their visions.
“Watch out.”
Mikoto and Hinagiku backed off.
“Fire!”
“Magic cannon!”
Two streaks of red and blue lasers shot across the room.
They were aiming at Mikoto who is the slowest mover.
Boom
It looked like the laser connected with Mikoto as a strong shockwave reverberated across the room.
Illya and Miyu were tense.
“D-Did that work?”
“As if it would be that easy.”
Mikoto yelled back. Illya and Miyu stopped dead in their tracks.
“Illya (Miyu-sama)! Dodge!”
Sapphire and Ruby warned the girls just in time as they got out of the way.
At the same time, a cascade of black silhouettes blew past where they once floated. The projectiles demolished the ceiling.
Boom
In an instant, she created a giant hole in the ceiling.
Illya and Miyu looked at the center of the brilliant light.
They saw orbs of dark metallic projectiles that came out of the rolling black waves near the ground.
Mikoto stood unharmed as she stared straight in the Magical Girls’ direction as if she could see from the very start.
The metal sand formed waves around her feet.
She used her metal sand to block and counter the magical girls.
“Unfortunately for you two, I am not just a lightning manipulator.”
Mikoto aimed her palm at Illya and Miyu.
“I can manipulate EM to a certain extent. This means I can sense fluctuation in the surrounding electromagnetic fields and detect movement. You can think of it as a built-in radar. Flashbangs are useless against me.”
“Magnetism is also my strongsuit. I gathered the iron sand in the floor and used it against you.”
“Sealing my lightning doesn’t mean I am out of commission.”
The two saw sparks fly between Mikoto’s hands.
Then, a tidal wave of iron sand split into iron whips. She tried to whip the Magical Girls.
“Deploying defensive barriers!”
The two focused on physical defense.
The whips smashed into the magical girls after they deployed their shields.
The two magical girls crashed into the floor to form two craters.
“Illya!”
“Miyu!”
Rin and Luvia stepped forward with their gems ready. They wanted to provide some cover fire.
Cling clang
Purple magic formations formed around the ladies.
“Crap!”
Caught by surprise, the two ladies were immediately tangled by the chains glowing a ghastly purple. They were strung up by the incredibly fast Chains of Commandment.
“Gugh.”
Rin and Luvia were chained up tightly.
“Rin-nee, Luvia-nee…”
The two magical girls struggled to get up.
One minute was all it took to mess up their formations.
Although Rin and Luvia were fine, it was unlikely that they could escape the Chains that were made by purported gods.
Illya and Miyu were also shaken by the iron whips. They were in no condition to continue fighting.
Meanwhile, Wu Yan & co were fine.
“Dang…”
Rin and Luvia struggled against the chains.
“Save your energy.”
The trio stood in a triangular formation. They didn’t even break a sweat.
Wu Yan sighed while looking up at Rin and Luvia.
“These chains are not Noble Phantasms but you two can’t break out with brute force alone.”
“Alright.”
He looked at them.
“Hand the cards over.”
