“《Polish》”
The scroll opens in my hand, and the tornado it creates gets bigger and bigger.
It turns sideways, and gouges the ground in front of it as it advances towards the shaman in front of me.
I’m not holding back.
I feel the wind of the tornado and see the glitter of diamond dust as it swallows the hooded shaman.
Direct hit… No! Dammit!
The wind didn’t move the man’s hood even a little bit.
I can sense it. The shaman scattered inside the tornado like mist. It’s like he’s a collection of very tiny things that separated from each other.
“Oh dear. That was quite the violent attack. Too bad this isn’t the main body. In any case, this is goodbye.”
I can just barely hear his voice, and it sounds like it too is being swallowed by the tornado.
I stop the scroll, and all that remains is the carved earth.
“…Did he get away? No, I think this was some sort of phantom he sent.”
I whisper while looking around, and then…
“Bumoh!”
“Kyuu!”
I hear Seilook and Hipopo cry out at the same time, and see them looking up.
I also look up, and see a glitter in the sky.
It’s not a star. It’s some sort of light I’ve never seen before, and it’s rapidly expanding.
“…Is that a meteorite!? Eh!? Is it crashing here!?”
The meteorite is getting closer by the second.
I take out as many scrolls as I can hold in my hands.
“《Composite activation》, 《Combine》”
I activate seven scrolls, and one separate Combine scroll, which sits on top and connects the other scrolls with magic elements to form a magic circle.
“《Release Limit》 all active scrolls.”
I remove the restrictions on all active scrolls, and magic elements burst from them.
“《Fixate》 meteorite, 《Airspace Fixing》… Now!”
Strings of magic elements appear from the magic circle drawn by seven Fixate scrolls.
The Combine scroll accumulates the effect of each scroll, and amplifies it.
This means there are thousands more strings than when I stopped Seilook from falling.
The strings create what looks like a giant’s hand, which wraps around the descending meteorite.
I can see the burning light through the fingers made of magic elements, and the wave created from the impact is enough to make the scrolls smoke a little and burn my skin.
But in the end, this all happens in the second it takes for the meteorite to be completely covered by the magic strings.
The meteorite then sits there, inside the closed giant hand of magic elements.
