Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 204 Trump Card
At Ritas' call, Engri and Filigree quickly gathered around him.

"." "."

After seeing Ritas' current appearance, the two of them couldn't help but fall into silence.

If there weren't only a few people in the World Tree Space, neither of them would have been able to recognize at the first sight that the toy knight was Ritas himself.

"Student Engel, let's return to the previous question. Since your body can pass through objects, how do you manage to 'sit' on other objects?"

"Still struggling with this?"

Engel couldn't help but frown.

He always felt that he was unable to open up and ask others for help during his college years, but the problem was not entirely his own.

"I really didn't pay much attention to these things because they were so natural."

And Fili, who was standing next to Engri, was thinking seriously.

"In my opinion, the reason for this situation is that your current posture is based on your own fixed impression. In fact, your current body can change more freely and move more freely. For example, you can fly freely in the sky, or you can transform your body into a simple ball."

"So, now."

Just when Engli wanted to express his dissatisfaction again, Filigree started to make trouble by bending down and touching his toes with his hands.

After trying for a while, Filigree shook his head.

"I may not be able to do it right away, Professor. My thinking may be too rigid. I can't imagine myself turning into a ball."

As Filigree himself said, all his actions actually have a sense of rigidity. And these teachings and instructions from his family that have been engraved deep in his soul are obviously not something that can be changed overnight.

"If only I could think a little softer."

“Be more flexible.”

Filigree and Ritas spoke in unison and turned their eyes to Engri.

"."

Facing the gazes of the two people, Engli, who felt an itchy sensation after a long time, made a sigh-like gesture, and then began to curl up his body like Filigree before.

Unlike Filigree, Engri, who may have a more flexible mind, actually turned his body into a complete golden ball.

"Your guess has been confirmed. Are you satisfied? So, what's the point of doing this?"

Looking at Engri at this moment, Ritas and Filigree were amazed.

They didn't know where the sound of Engel, who really looked like just a big ball, came from.

"Before, you seemed to want to resurrect those stone guards. And I noticed that the location where you tried to resurrect was not the same as the location where they were summoned before. So, as long as it is in this area, that kind of stone guard can be summoned no matter where it is?"

"That's pretty much it, if we're just confined to the ground and what we can reach."

Ignoring Engri who was still expressing his dissatisfaction, Ritas continued talking to Filigree.

After getting Filigree's answer, Ritas whispered to himself, "Then things become simpler," and gave him the final instructions.

"Well, Filigree, you will seize the opportunity later and summon the Boulder Guards from the area where I was lying to deal the 'final blow' to the enemy."

"Oh my, it seems like you were left here alone~"

While Ritas and others were holding a brief combat meeting, on the battlefield of Merci and "Two-Way", the white and blue colors seemed to have clearly divided each other into camps, and they continued to fight against each other.

"Even if the professor was really left behind, it just means that there was a reason why I had to be left behind!"

Not shaken at all by the words of "two-way", Merci continued to wield the "blue blade with very low swordsmanship content", releasing flames tirelessly in an attempt to dye all the annoying white.

Faced with Merci's response that did not allow any room for provocation, Shuangshuang could not help but let out a "tsk". At this moment, she clearly felt the disadvantage of the power compatibility between them.

If it weren't for the special properties of the arrow, the white silk thread, which is extremely easy to burn, might not be able to resist the blue flames.

Even so, the two-way power is a whole level higher than Merci.

But that’s all.

Perhaps, if Merci's power really entered the next stage before, it might be a little troublesome. But now
Shuangxiang didn't think that he would lose at all, nor did he think that the fate of everyone in the World Tree Space would change compared to before.

All Merci can do now is to barely restrain the two sides.

Moreover, Merci, who had only entered the "second stage" when her power was out of control before, was not good at nor understood the fighting style of the Star Marker at this stage.

Therefore, even though Merci could clearly feel that whether she released all her strength or only a little, the results would be very different. However, she had no control over it at all, so she could only rely on her feelings and go all out with every strike.

This situation obviously cannot last long.

Previously, the changes that Merci had shown in what Ritas described as an "evening dress" were now showing signs of "melting".

Just when "Two-Way" felt that she had won, she saw from afar what the people she was really on guard against were doing on the other side of the flames that were blocking her.

The one-winged woman who somehow managed to free Ritas Elson from her silken threads.

And, the somewhat weird-looking Ritas Elson himself.

At this moment, the one-winged woman was holding a magic wand, gathering strength. In front of her was a strange disc on the ground, and a magic circle drawn with the disc as the center.

Then, standing at the edge of the magic circle, the funny-looking Ritas held up the soft toy sword and shook it as if he was performing some kind of ritual.

This... is preparing for a large-scale magic?

Although, it is conceivable that a wizard of such fame would try to solve the problem with magic.

But, does that "Professor Elson" really think that a mere large-scale magic can solve the problem?

Where did the two gatekeepers of the World Tree go?

"Two-Way" instinctively felt that something was wrong.

She began to expand her vision and carefully search for clues. Soon, she discovered where the real murderous intent came from.

The ground attack was just a feint!
In the sky, where it was difficult to be noticed, there was a golden ball of light that traced a trajectory along with the toy sword in Ritas's hand on the ground.

That was also a magic circle, and its shape was completely different from the one on the ground!

"Hehehe. Your professor can really use magic in any situation."

He noticed the "two-way" crisis in time, smiled complacently, and said to Merci who was blocking him, "In a space without magic particles, using a mutated body, borrowing other people's magic particles, and using the World Tree Gatekeeper as a medium to draw a magic circle at the top of the sky.? If you just relax your vigilance a little, you might ask in confusion, 'How did it become like this?'"

Listening to the two-way conversation, Merci suddenly felt an ominous atmosphere.

Although, it seemed that her flames completely blocked both directions, preventing those white threads from passing over her and directly attacking Ritas in the distance.

But
"professor!"

Turning back suddenly, Merci shouted at the top of her lungs to alert Ritas.

However, her reminder seemed to be a little slow after all.

In addition to the white silk threads on the surface, "Two-Way" has always retained an invisible silk thread that appears and disappears mysteriously and most of the time cannot be captured by the naked eye.

When Merci turned around, she saw the invisible thread that had already circled a long circle in the World Tree Space and appeared around Ritas and An, piercing their bodies as it appeared.

"That's strange. Was it because my words were not conveyed properly before? I remember I said that I am a member of the Ventria royal family, Adelina Angel."

"Please rest assured that I heard you. However, this is also a necessary sacrifice."

In the World Tree Space, far away from the battlefield between Shuangxiang and Merci, An felt his legs lose strength immediately after being pierced in the abdomen by the white thread, and collapsed to the ground in an almost limp posture.

Next to her was Ritas, whose condition was not much better.

"I really don't know how my knight protects me."

"Indeed. So, why not let him resign?"

"The princess's knighthood is a status, not a profession. So if you want to get rid of it, the only option is to be executed."

"?"

Adjusting his breathing, Ritas and An stopped chatting.

Feeling the wailing from his body, Ritas was once again convinced of one thing.

However, there is still time to think about this matter after the matter is resolved.

words now
After Shuangxiang finally took out the last invisible thread, Ritas put aside the last worry in his heart.

He tremblingly picked up the sword that had slipped from his hand the moment he was attacked, and pointed it at the sky again, as if struggling to complete the magic circle pattern that was being outlined by the golden light.

And noticing the two-way nature of Ritas's actions, they naturally wouldn't give him this opportunity.

Then, Ritas once again felt as if everything in his body was being sucked away.

"That's enough."

After feeling it once with his original body and again with the body given by An, Ritas, whose mind became confused again, couldn't help but sigh.

"It's now, Filigree! Merci! She can no longer bounce back the attack!"

As Ritas shouted with the last bit of strength in his body, a huge stone guard suddenly rose from the ground.

Merci, biting her lips hard, turned around and released flames again in the direction of Shuangshuang.

"You should be able to hear my voice through this thread, right?"

Facing the stone giant and the blue flame that were attacking him, as if to express his ease, after shaking the silk threads on Ritas' body for a while, a response was transmitted to him that almost came from inside his body.

"You can do more than just hear, Professor Elson."

"So, you haven't figured out we're just bait yet?"

"Bait?"

"I roughly understand the special power of your silk thread. Your arrow has two directions, outward and inward. When directed outward, it can deflect attacks coming towards you, while when directed inward, it can absorb the power of others from the silk thread."

"It's not hard to guess."

"Besides that, I also discovered that your arrow can only go 'all forward' or 'all reverse'. And the interval between switching directions is not short."

".So what? Even if I can temporarily disable you and prevent you from returning my attacks, you are only an opponent of this level."

While the sound was being transmitted through the silk thread, facing the frontal attack of Merci's flames and the boulder guards, both sides on the battlefield let out a sharp cry.

I saw that her body was undergoing the same changes as when Merci entered the "second stage".

White threads, like armor and scales, appeared on her torso and limbs, but compared to Merci, her face lacked a mask.

As her posture changed in both directions, white threads began to flow out of her body at a rapid speed, and the total amount of threads increased by more than ten times in an instant.

It was as if countless silk threads were about to burst a small piece of space, and in the blink of an eye they submerged the oncoming blue flames.

The first layer of silk threads quickly burned out, but the second layer of silk threads wrapped the ashes, and the third layer of silk threads also wrapped the second layer that was burning together.

Layer upon layer of silk threads gathered together, wrapping the flames in dozens of layers.

Faced with the flames that were still unwilling to go out amidst the encirclement, Shuangxiang squeezed his left hand hard.

In an instant, the ball of silk thread shrank dozens of times, crushing everything inside it into nothingness.

At the same time, facing the huge stone guard that had already rushed in front of it, the silk threads on the right also rushed forward and wrapped it up.

As Shuangxiang squeezed his right hand hard this time, the silk thread split and crushed the huge stone guard into countless tiny fragments.

"That's all!"

Even though the consumption in the second stage is quite severe, it is only used to sustain the window period when the arrow changes direction, but it will not cause exhaustion in both directions.

Rather, if the power absorbed from Ritas and An is taken into account, the energy recovered in both directions may be even greater.

And it was at this two-way, most arrogant moment.

Before, in the direction of the giant stone guard that she crushed, a fog of very ugly color began to spread.

"Those invisible threads are actually your 'trump cards'? You should use your trump cards first when the situation is favorable. Sure enough, you are not a 'big problem'."

In the distance, Ritas, whose body was no longer restricted, slowly stood up and looked at the large amount of white that was wiped out by the mist as if it was being "corrected", and made such an evaluation.
