And yet, the black Magus stopped at the entrance of the stairs, and held his arm out in front of him
moving slightly
“... Silence.”
A short murmur.
The Magus’s open palm clenched tightly.
It was a motion like crushing something in the palm of one’s hand.
Simultaneously, Touko’s body shook with a violent impact. Her coat, which blocked all forms of
magical interference with her Magic Circuits, was shredded to pieces and fell to the floor.
There had been an attack, it was an invisible impact.
Struck equally across her body from every direction, she then fell to her knees.
Touko instantly understood what the impact had been.
... Araya crushed the space in which Touko had been standing. It was as if her entire body had been
pressed down upon.
Touko’s tongue was silenced in disbelief. She had no knowledge of what Magecraft enabled such a
small gesture to manipulate space.
“... I got hit. Dammit, how many ribs did he break?”
Swallowing the blood pooling in her mouth, Touko assessed the damage to her body. Unlike Shiki,
Touko had no physical training, she had no way of knowing how many of her bones were broken.
All she understood was the fact that her coat had saved her.
If she were to take a hit like that again, she would certainly be crushed.
