Witch Special

Back to the topic, Teacher Patchouli took off her glasses from her nose and they disappeared with a flick of her hand.

Anyway, even at such a close distance, Lin Zhenxi didn't see clearly how the glasses disappeared. Although it looked like a close-up magic trick, Lin Zhenxi knew that this was magic, not the kind of magic tricks that are like sleight of hand.

Although Lin Zhenxi also liked Patchouli Teacher's normal look, after seeing Patchouli Teacher wearing glasses, that image took root in Lin Zhenxi's mind. She really still liked Patchouli Teacher wearing glasses more.

Glasses control√

After Teacher Patchouli put away her glasses, she began to share the results of her observations with Lin Zhenxi.

"First of all, Maki, this 'string' element of yours is probably an extradimensional element. Its base dimension is very low, so it cannot exist independently in space above three dimensions."

Lin Zhenxi looked confused. Teacher Patchouli seemed to be saying something very powerful, but she couldn't quite understand it.

Seeing the silly look on her apprentice's face, Teacher Patchouli couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the burden on her shoulders had become heavier.

Okay, let’s put it more bluntly!

"That is, the 'string' element needs to be attached to an object existing in the three-dimensional world to be effective. If you want to use it independently, perhaps you need a deeper understanding of spatial dimensions and dimensional division."

"For now, you should try adding the 'string' element to the existing magic and see what effect it has."

This time Lin Zhenxi understood. It turned out that this thing was similar to the film used in water transfer printing. It had to rely on existing objects to exist and did not have its own independent shape.

At least not yet, anyway.

Then, let's start with the actual, tangible magical elements. Lin Zhenxi didn't even grab her wand or chant a spell. With a single thought, the abundant earth elements in the environment began to gather towards her, condensing into a fist-sized ball of earth in her palm.

While maintaining the earth ball, Lin Zhenxi attached the "string" element in his other hand, which could only be seen as a vague shadow, to the earth ball.

Strangely enough, the "string" element that was clearly completely unformed in Lin Zhenxi's palm, as soon as it touched the dirt ball, immediately became like a newly opened tempered glass film meeting a clean mobile phone screen, and it couldn't wait to stick on it.

And when the earth ball came into contact with the "string" element, Lin Zhenxi was surprised to find that the earth ball in his hand disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear. She could still feel the existence of the earth ball, and she was still using magic to keep it stable. But it was definitely no longer above Lin Zhenxi's palm. Even when Lin Zhenxi used her other hand to touch it, it just passed over her palm and didn't touch anything at all.

Where is my dirt ball? Where is the dirt ball that is as big as my fist and can easily crack a goblin's head?

However, the supply of magic power has not been interrupted, which means that the earth ball still exists, but Lin Zhenxi doesn't know where it is hidden now.

It's outrageous. Lin Zhenxi hid her own magic, and she couldn't find it.

This isn't a child with long legs. He can get lost if he's not paying attention. Magic is controlled by the mind, so how could it disappear for no reason?

The only explanation is that the film of the "string" element took the earth ball to an interlayer space that Lin Zhenxi did not yet understand. This is why Lin Zhenxi clearly felt that the earth ball was very close to her, but she could not see or touch it.

Forget it, if I can’t see it, then I can’t see it. But can it still play its original role now?

Lin Zhenxi once again set her sights on the library's main door, which had always been her target. Over the years, the door had withstood countless magical attacks from Lin Zhenxi, yet it remained unscathed, leaving not even a scratch. This had become an obsession for Lin Zhenxi, and her short-term goal was to at least leave a mark on the door. However, even after several years, this short-term goal remained unfulfilled.

In fact, Lin Zhenxi didn't have much hope this time. After all, this was just a small homemade bomb. Even if it was placed in the popular Japanese light novels about traveling to a magical world, it was a basic low-level magic that could not be more basic.

The only difference between it and ordinary lower-level earth magic is that "a layer of 'string' elements is attached to the surface."

Then, a second after releasing the invisible earth bomb, Lin Zhenxi heard a completely different, dull sound. She and Patchouli immediately looked in the direction of the sound and found a bowl-sized hole in the door.

Hit...hit it through?

Lin Zhenxi was completely stunned. He stood there looking at the dark hole on the gate in the distance, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Teacher Patchouli's reaction was much faster than Lin Zhenxi's. She floated up, flew in front of the gate and landed, then carefully observed the broken marks on the wooden door.

After observing for a while, she raised her hand and touched the gap, but unexpectedly touched a transparent barrier.

That was the mysterious protection that Patchouli had personally cast on the door of her library. It was this thing that usually blocked Lin Zhenxi's magic.

Now, this layer of mysterious protection has not been destroyed, but the wooden door covered by the mysterious protection has been destroyed, as if the earth bomb completely ignored the mysterious protection and fell directly on the door protected by the mysterious protection.

The door to the Great Library wasn't made of any particularly precious material; it was just ordinary wood. With Patchouli's magical power, even a piece of rotten wood could possess the toughness of a divine weapon and the shelf life of a De Beers advertisement.

The diamond is forever, and one is forever.

Patchouli's own mysterious protection, whether to remove it or not, was of course a matter of her own volition. Her palm quickly passed through the "membrane" of the mysterious protection and touched the wound on the hole in the door.

On the wound surface, not only were there traces of earth elements, but there was also a strange sense of spatial distortion. The traces of earth debris that would inevitably remain after the earth bomb's attack were completely invisible.

It feels like... it's like an attack from another dimension, crossing over and affecting reality.

Patchouli felt like she had a better understanding of the properties of the "string" element. At least, the most obvious one.

"Maki, try using other magic. Don't use anything too powerful. The simplest low-level magic will do."

"Oh..." Lin Zhenxi nodded, and fireballs, water balls, wind blades, earth bombs, holy light balls, shadow balls, and a lightning ball with arcs flashing on its surface appeared around him.

Next, Lin Zhenxi used these lower-level elemental magics to fuse with the "string" element. The "string" element was not picky at all, whether it was a soil bomb with a hard surface, a water ball with a soft surface, or even various elemental energy bodies with no surface at all, it could stick to them very well.

It was as if it was not attached to the surface of these magics at all, but rather selected a "unit" and merged itself with it.

After the two merged, these lower-level magics immediately reproduced the effect of the earth bomb, instantly disappearing from Lin Zhenxi's sight. However, Lin Zhenxi could tell through his own magic power supply that they were still there, and even their positions had not changed.

But she just couldn't see them, couldn't see or touch them.

The target was still the gate of the Great Library. All lower-level magic ignored the protection of the mysterious guardian and directly bombarded the gate itself.

With Lin Zhenxi's current mystical bonus, even low-level spells that didn't provide much mana could easily penetrate an ordinary thick wooden door. Especially Shadow Ball and Wind Blade, two small spells with defense-breaking abilities, they pierced the door silently, leaving a perfectly smooth gap.

Even those magic spells that did not have a very good defense-breaking ability but had a splashing effect left very conspicuous scars on the wooden door.

After a series of tests, Patchouli had reached a conclusion. She called Lin Maki over and pointed at the scars she had just made on the wooden door. "Maki, see? This must be the characteristic of your 'string' element."

"Magic influenced by the 'string' element will have an additional parameter after the spatial coordinates. This parameter introduces the magic into a different dimension that echoes reality. And in that different dimension, only the mystery of your magic will be at work."

"And when your magic child's extradimensional attack damages and destroys an object, the corresponding object in reality will be affected in the same way. In other words, after adding the 'string' element, your magic will not only be undetectable, but will also completely ignore the mysterious protection, causing full damage to the target without any reduction."

It sounds very strong, and in fact it is very strong. But before Lin Zhenxi could get complacent, Patchouli teacher immediately poured a bucket of cold water on her, telling Lin Zhenxi not to misunderstand, she didn't know that she was invincible because of this incident.

"However, I believe that although the new elements you master can ignore the mysterious protection, the performance enhancements generated by the mysterious bonus can still function normally. Try to attack this."

After saying that, Teacher Patchouli took out a colorful, sparkling crystal, placed it in the air, and asked Lin Zhenxi to attack it.

The Philosopher's Stone...

Lin Zhenxi was a little scared. This thing must be Patchouli's precious treasure, right? What if Patchouli's guess was wrong, and the defense-breaking properties of her "string" element were also effective against the Philosopher's Stone? What would happen to Patchouli if the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed?
