Faker had only been disoriented for an instant. However, the instant was enough. The
fallen damselflies awoke again, fluttering into the sky.
Those were Touko Aozaki’s familiars!
The familiars that had combined to form a cannon split apart again. This time, a
strange light shot from them and created a giant image on the ground.
“You showed me something wonderful. I should return the gesture,” Touko said in a low
voice.
A strange cry came from beside her feet.
Rather, it was a noise that our ears could only register as an unintelligible cry.
At the Twin Towers of Ilsema, Gray and I had witnessed Touko Aozaki’s familiars. That
had been the projection of a cat, created by a projector. In the months that had passed,
this genius had already created a more advanced type of magecraft.
Now, there were multiple projector-like familiars that shot out beams of light. As if it
had peeled away from the ground, a strange, three-dimensional shadow appeared.
“How will you fight back this time, mage from the Age of the Gods?” Touko said
confidently with one eyebrow raised.
