Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

Meiko Ando is becoming stronger and stronger as she progresses, but Ruby, who still maintains the same appearance as before, is obviously unable to keep up with her.

Even after the material of the Sky Flame Dragon's body has been upgraded, its strength is still limited.

In the battle just now, not only did Meiko Anten try her best, but after enduring the silver impact magic power blessed by triple positive magic, Ruby's body was actually on the verge of collapse.

"Well, don't blame yourself too much." Ando Meizi comforted her, "You have done everything you can, it's just that I am too weak."

"Owner……"

Vita broke the awkward atmosphere between the master and servant, raising an eyebrow and saying, "What? What do you want to talk to me about again? Every time you come in, it's always something bad."

"Is there any way to prevent those void beasts from destroying this world and easily killing our magical girls?"

Upon hearing this, Vita's eyebrows immediately furrowed: "You are too greedy. You want to protect everything, and in the end you will drag yourself to death."

Ando Meiko just waited quietly for Vita's reply without saying anything. Seeing the former's determined eyes, Vita could only shake his head and sigh and shrug his shoulders: "There is a way."

"Really? What's the solution?"

"Subspace barrier."

The name sounds very classy, ​​and it is not too unfamiliar to Ando Meiko, because this so-called subspace barrier is the space that Vita forcibly pulled her into when she fought with Vita for the first time.

This information also entered her mind along with Vita's knowledge, but she didn't have time to fully digest it so she couldn't figure it out for a while.

It was not until Vita said it that she was able to dig it out from the memory that was engraved deep in her soul and did not belong to her.

This so-called subspace barrier is actually a magic circle. It has added six extremely complex magic seals, including integrating into space, opening up space, supporting space, stabilizing space, teleporting space, and space array diagram, to the cycle of the three basic magic seals.

If this magic seal with the word "space" is compared with the gravity seal constructed by Ando Meiko, the complexity of both the information in the magic text and the distribution of the connecting lines is at least three times higher.

Even if you draw it on the spot without any interruptions, it is not uncommon to spend a whole day while ensuring precision. What's more, it is not only time that is wasted, but also the spirit will be slowly exhausted due to the construction of the magic circle.

"The magical engraving construction of this subspace barrier is too complicated."

"Of course. I had no intention of telling you because, with your current strength and proficiency, there's no way you could use it in actual combat in such a short time."

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 27: Imprinting and Shaping

In the space of consciousness, Ando Meiko raised her hand and condensed a magical power. She was about to start practicing according to the magic imprint of the subspace barrier in her mind. But at this moment, her eyes stopped on the ball of magical light floating in her palm.

Recalling the scene where she failed to condense the field but turned out to be a blessing in disguise and was able to release magic power out of her body and change into various shapes even without transforming, a crazy idea suddenly came to her mind.

Her combat skill is to imagine the diversity of magic, and this imagination does not only appear in magic, but can also transform the magic wand herself into a substantial weapon.

Since both virtual and real objects can be transformed at will through magic, what if we can use the power of imagination to directly construct magic imprints?

A magic seal is just a painting composed of countless magic lines. Anyway, the source is one's own magic. If you think in this direction, there might be a way to use magic to directly shape it.

"Why do I feel like you're having an epiphany?"

After An Teng Meizi took back the magic power with a palm, she nodded happily to Vita and said, "Well, I have thought it through. I want to try it now."

After leaving these words, Meiko Anten's consciousness disappeared in front of Vita.

She opened her eyes, raised her hand and clenched it into a claw shape. A ball of red magic separated from her skin and gathered in her palm.

The subspace barrier is one of the magic circles that Vita is familiar with, so those space magic imprints naturally exist in Anten Meiko's memory.

So she simply searched her memory and found the content related to the subspace barrier in the magic circle classification.

"As expected of a magic circle that can create its own space, it's really complicated. The complexity of just one spatial imprint is enough to make me anxious and overwhelmed."

"Meizi, what did you say?"

Ruoxue seemed to have heard An Teng Meizi's muttering, and when she turned around and saw the ball of magic light in her hand, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Meizi, you... you can actually use magic without transforming?"

This question did not receive an answer from Anten Meiko, because Anten Meiko was immersed in Vita's memory at the time, imprinting the template of the space engraving on the magic light ball in her hand.

As the impression in Anten Meiko's memory became more and more complete, the ball of magic light in her hand began to wriggle violently like boiling water.

In the middle of the magic light ball that was stretched into a disc shape, the magic faded along the lines of the magic engraving like paper cutting, and in the end only a complete space opening engraving remained.

"To be able to complete such a complex magical seal in such a short time... It's almost like..."

After completing all this, Anten Meiko slowly opened her eyes, but the first thing she noticed was Ruoxue, who had appeared in front of her without her knowing when and was staring at her with her big eyes.

"Sister Ju, I'll be embarrassed if you look at me like that."

"Meizi, how did you do that? It's amazing! What is this magic seal? It's so worth studying. I didn't expect you to be hiding knowledge about magic circles. Why didn't you tell me? It's really abominable."

Faced with Ruoxue's rapid-fire divine words, An Teng Meizi, sweating profusely, quickly took a step back. "Alright, calm down for a moment. This was passed down to me by someone I only met once. He told me not to pass it on, so even I, Sister Tachibana, can only apologize."

"Which blind old fellow actually kept this kind of knowledge to himself? If it were shared, our magical girls' combat power would skyrocket. By then, let alone a single or double evolution to Dragon Level, even if the seven strongest Dragon Levels came, we would be invincible."

[Hey! This little brat actually scolded me? Yazi, let me out! I'm going to teach her a lesson!]

Vita's words were naturally ignored by Anten Meizi. "Perhaps others have their own considerations, so it's not easy for me to judge them."

"In that case, I can't say anything, but it's okay if you don't teach me. Can I just watch from the side?"

[Is that okay?] Regarding this, Meiko Anten decided to ask Vita first.

[It's not a problem if you just observe, but if you don't know the meaning of the magic words, you won't be able to understand them no matter how hard you try.]

"No problem, but just don't disturb me."

Meiko Anten waved her hand to disperse the magic seal that had already been constructed, and then continued to search her memory, reconstructing the magic power that had been restored into a ball of light into other shapes.

As one of the three basic seals, the absorption seal and the conversion seal are not very complicated, so Meiko Anten quickly imprinted them on the magic light ball in her hand through her imagination.

After throwing the constructed seal on the ground, he continued to construct the next seal. The magic seal completed in this way was not only extremely accurate but also very fast.

The construction of the three basic engravings took less than two minutes.

Even the spatial engraving, which is the most complex among all engravings, only takes less than ten minutes.

[Meizi... I have to say, your talent is truly astonishing and frightening. You're probably the only one who can construct a magic circle in this way.]

"Is that so? I remember when I first fought you, you also released the subspace barrier in a very short time, right?"

[I engraved this magic circle on my own dragon scales, so when I use it, I just need to spend some time injecting magic power into it, and it will be activated with myself as the center.]

[Is there any other way? 】

[Yes, but I don't recommend it, because the magic power of the magic circle and your own magic power are different from each other. You don't have the protection of dragon scales, and long-term interaction may harm your body.]

【There is nothing we can do about it. 】

Meiko Anten sighed with regret in her heart. If she could also engrave the subspace barrier directly on her body, then she could save the time of constructing the magic circle.

[You don't need to be so greedy. Since you have the ability to use your imagination to construct magic seals, as your proficiency gradually increases, even if you need to use more complex seals in the future, it will greatly reduce the time it takes to complete them.]

I have to say that Vita is definitely a good teacher. Not only did she leave so much magical knowledge to Anten Meiko, she also always helped her when she was acting too hastily, so that she would not be affected by her own anxiety.

Volume 5: Light and Darkness: Chapter 28: The Function of the Space Magic Circle

After the teleportation space imprint was completed and placed on the ground in the garden by Anten Meiko, she finally had time to wipe the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, that leaves only one left."

Although it took half an hour to construct the first four magic seals, the construction speed became faster and faster as she became more proficient.

She pinched it casually, and a ball of magic light suddenly appeared, and it rapidly boiled and rolled, turning into a standard magic cycle mark on her palm.

The three basic imprints plus the six spatial imprints in the subspace barrier only took less than forty minutes to create.

With the addition of the final magic cycle imprint, the subspace barrier was finally constructed, and the automatically operating magic circle began to continuously absorb the surrounding magic power. While converting the magic power, it also replenished the remaining magic patterns on its own.

After the first magic power was completed, the entire magic circle began to burst out with astonishingly bright light, even under the sun, it was faintly brighter than the sun.

However, this light soon dimmed and was eventually completely hidden in the magic patterns of the magic circle.

"Meizi...is this magic circle complete?"

"Well, it should be done."

Meiko Anten didn't dare to confirm this point directly. After all, this was the second time she successfully constructed a magic circle besides the gravity magic circle, and it was also the most complex space magic circle.

[Vita? Did I succeed?]

[There's nothing unusual about the magic cycle. You've definitely succeeded. However, next time, if possible, it would be best to add a hidden light effect engraving, otherwise the power of this formation is too obvious.]

"Want to try it?"

"Is it okay? How can I try it?"

An Teng Meizi looked at Ruoxue, who was even more impatient than herself, and smiled. She took her little hand and held her in her arms.

Feeling her intimate gesture, Ruoxue's pretty face couldn't help but turn red: "You...you kid actually dared to take advantage of me, your sister?"

"Uh..." An Teng Meizi touched her head awkwardly, then pointed at the magic circle below her. "I only considered myself when I built it, so if we don't maintain this posture, we won't be able to stand on it."

"I'm just kidding. Do you think I'm the type to be petty? And I just wouldn't let others do that. If it were you, I wouldn't mind."

"That's good." An Teng Meizi didn't hear the seriousness in Ruoxue's tone, and just thought she was joking.

After holding Ruoxue tightly in her arms again, An Teng Meizi moved her mind and the magic circle under her feet started to operate autonomously. The two people hugging each other in the middle of the magic circle were directly enveloped by a rising light.

A moment later, when the light curtain faded away, the two of them disappeared directly in Fuzi's garden.

After a dizzy feeling unique to space teleportation, the two girls hugging each other were teleported into a dark space.

This dark space is not absolutely dark, because although it is all black here, Ando Meiko and Ruo Xue can see each other clearly, as if they are the source of light.

"This feeling isn't in the Void World... Could it be the subspace? Is that magic circle of yours a teleportation circle?"

"No, the name of this magic circle is the Subspace Barrier, which is a magic circle that creates a temporary space."

Ruoxue looked around happily. Even though there was nothing in this space, she still felt extremely excited.

"There's nothing here, how can you be so excited, Sister Tachibana?"

Ruoxue curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "What do you know, little brat? The space magic circle is the most valuable for research among all functional magic circles."

"Value?" Ando Meiko asked doubtfully, "What's the value?"

"You set up this subspace without knowing anything?"

"Yes, I just want to lock the Void Beast in there to prevent it from causing damage in the Void World and further affecting the real world."

Hearing Ando Meiko's answer, Ruoxue shook her head and explained with a look of disappointment, "First of all, if we can open up an absolutely stable subspace, it can quickly solve the problem of human living space. Then, we can use this space technology to create storage props in novels and games."

"I know, the tool box!"

Meiko Ando, ​​who often plays games, is no stranger to this. In the game, the protagonist's props will be collected in the prop box, and this box is obviously invisible to the game character but has a considerable capacity.

If you understand the item box in terms of space storage magic, it will become clear.

　[I didn't expect this little girl to be so clever. Seeing the subspace barrier, she could already think of living space and space storage.]

[Can the subspace barrier do both of these things? ]

[Of course, a subspace barrier wouldn't work, but a space magic circle would achieve the same result. Simply tweaking some magic text on the inner meaning, 4, 5, or 6 pages, or increasing the number of magic engravings, would also work.]

In Vita's original world, there was no shortage of powerful magicians who used space magic circles to construct their own space, or to mark out an entire area as their own.

Of course, there are also people who turn the props into space storage props by carving space magic seals on special materials.

However, this kind of carving is very complicated and difficult. If you are not a dwarf or some more powerful craftsmen, no one else can complete the carving process.

If you think about it carefully, it would be so cool if one day you could just draw out a sword or a shotgun from space with just a flick of your hand, just like in the game.

If you want to learn this, I can’t teach you because I don’t understand it myself.

Meiko Anten was a little curious. Since Vita was worshipped as the god of smelting by craftsmen in their world, why didn't she know any technology at all?

However, she didn't say it in front of Vita. If the proud dragon thought she was laughing at her, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

It is said that you can see it whenever you look up or down. Now it has settled directly on your body, so you can see it wherever you look up or down.

"You're so awesome, Meiko." While Meiko Anten was thinking, she heard Ruoxue's voice coming from not far away, and she raised her head and looked in her direction.

"Meizi, although this spatial magic circle was created from another space, the spatial structure shows no signs of being shaken."

"So there's no problem fighting here."

"Of course, given the stability of this place, even if a dragon-level void beast that has undergone two evolutions attacks with all its might, it will definitely not be able to shake it unless it has the ability to touch space."
