I never imagined this moment would come like this.
Honestly, although I've heard some jokes about prophetic mages, most of the time they're just jokes.
For example, someone might foresee that a person will suffer a bloody disaster in three days, but nothing happens when the time comes, so they personally go to the person's door and beat them up... or something like that.
The situation before them made it impossible for the people present to laugh.
Yes, the catastrophic scenes that the blind saintess and I saw in the Disaster Vision before have now begun.
This intuition arose in my mind with perfect clarity.
It's a situation that's completely detached from reality.
Even how it happened remains unknown.
He only touched the golden cup that had been taken from the basement and placed in the center of the ritual array, and then he was stabbed... Damn it.
Before storing it, Alice and I checked that there were no hidden mechanisms or snaps, and that there were no sharp protrusions on the cup that could easily cut our fingers. Yet, we were pricked by a sharp spike that suddenly appeared.
There's a limit to joking!
I glared fiercely at the spot where I had just touched it. The sharp, golden protrusion slowly retracted after absorbing the crimson color, like a cat's claw hidden in its paw pads. It was impossible to know when it would suddenly attack, sending a chill down my spine.
Stumbling backward, I finally managed to lean against a nearby wall to maintain my balance, but the situation was far from optimistic.
A golden-red whirlwind overflowed from the cup, which emanated powerful magical energy. Lighter debris scattered on the ground was swept up and swirled up, gradually merging into a dark and dangerous column of wind. Undoubtedly, this was the effect of my magic and blood combined.
No, they've already destroyed the ritual array, so what's going on with this now?
I gritted my teeth, suppressed my anger, and tried to calm myself down to deal with the situation.
Although we don't know what will happen next, the most urgent task is to minimize the impact of the problem as much as possible, and also...
No, my mind is completely blank; I can't think of a solution at all.
Looking across through the red whirlwind, the three people embracing each other showed different expressions, but the blind saintess was undoubtedly the one with the biggest reaction. She was kneeling on the ground in a daze, completely unaware that her eyes, which had been closed all along, were now open.
Some eerie, dark whites of her eyes were visible, as if she were staring blankly at the scene before her. Even when the two people beside her tried to drag her away, she remained in a half-kneeling position, her hands clasped in front of her chest, looking lost and dejected.
Then, a dark liquid rolled down from her eyes, like tears, or perhaps tears of blood, dripping onto her light-colored robe, staining it with the dust she had picked up while rubbing against the ground.
What's going on now?
Stanley, who had been in a state of safety since the beginning, remained frozen in front of him, staring in disbelief at everything that was happening before his eyes.
Although I knew he wasn't of much use, seeing him so useless still made me a little... angry.
No, on the bright side, at least when everything is over and the mess needs to be cleaned up, this guy can be very useful.
The problem is how to clean up this mess now.
If only there were other people around... No, even if we called on the guys in the little garden, it's clear that we still wouldn't be able to resolve this situation smoothly.
Because the attributes don't match.
Conversely, I am also unable to intervene and resolve the current problems smoothly, but the reason is another matter.
Yes, just like the situation discovered in previous tests, what is brewing and swirling in the golden cup is a magic power that is far purer than the magic power I supply. Just as pure magic stones are of better quality than other ordinary magic stones, I cannot successfully resist or suppress the same type of power that is far superior to mine. Instead, I am suppressed and completely devoured the moment I come into contact with it.
If you interfere arbitrarily, the situation will only get worse.
No, so are there any other methods now?
My rapidly working mind became as muddled as paste, but one idea still managed to firmly emerge from the chaos.
Just in case, I stopped Miyuki and Alice from launching a reckless attack. While I had Stanley try to maintain the barrier that was becoming increasingly fragile in order to isolate the effects of internal and external fluctuations, I called out to the person behind me, "Mentor, are you there?"
Although it was something we already knew, we still need to verify it.
There was no response, but the slight increase in weight on his shoulder suggested that this was an answer.
I asked again to confirm: "Are you really sure this is a problem I can solve?"
It means stop standing by and watching; come and save your students!
Although he's always being cheeky, I'm, after all, my mentor's only student. If anything unexpected happens, he'll be the first one to rush over.
Even from the perspective of mere perception and observation, what is before us is an extremely dangerous entity.
If things don't go well, it would be easy to wipe the entire Apocalypse City off the map.
It's almost equivalent to pulling a giant meteorite down from the distant starry sky and crashing it to the ground.
