That instant—
A creepy chill runs through my body and I start to feel a sensation that stimulates my sixth sense. Right after I felt a mysterious sensation, the Underworld’s unique purple sky—goes through a mysterious phenomenon where the sky turns white. ……What the, what happened!? Due to the sudden incident, everyone within this campus looks up the sky and witnesses this phenomenon. The sky's purple colour starts to fade gradually and eventually the sky becomes pure white. ……What the heck is this? Is it some kind of event……it can’t be. I didn’t hear about this. Did they organise a special performance to be performed at the same time as the Magician’s assembly? No, we would certainly be informed about it beforehand. Did they have such a performance at the filming at Agreas? The scale of this is huge so they would need to seek for permission in order to do it. Everyone starts panicking at the sudden phenomenon. ……There’s only one reason I can think of. ……There’s a gathering of Magicians that has researched Trihexa in this town and there’s a high chance for them to be abducted. And the one who will be doing the abduction is—
While I’m trying to understand this situation, the school broadcast reaches my ear. [Will the students, the families, and the lecturers having the experience day please come inside the school building immediately. I repeat. Will the students, the families, and the lecturers having the experience day please come inside the school building immediately.] Ravel and I can’t help but to expect the worst after hearing the emergency broadcast. The ORC members and the Student Council members gather in the staffroom. We had the children and their parents that are becoming nervous gather at the gymnasium. In order to calm everyone down, the staff led by Shinra-fukukaichou went to gather the information. Rias shakes her head to the side as she has the communication-type magic-circle activated. “……There’s no use. I can’t get contact with the outside.”
Akeno-san who made a teleportation-type magic-circle on the floor also sighs. “This doesn’t work either. We can’t teleport to a far place.”
Seriously? To be in a situation where we can’t even contact or teleport outside…… I certainly encountered a situation similar to this several times. The first time is at the Togetsukiyou at Kyoto. The second time was right after the Mid-class promotion test. For both times, a mist appeared and we found ourselves in a different dimension. Though there are no mists this time, it certainly is similar to the incidents where a spell was cast on the whole space. Then Koneko-chan with cat ears speaks. “……I searched the ki around the area, but the trees and grasses outside aren’t fake. They are real.”
……So does that mean we were sent to a dimension where everything is fake? Sona-kaichou says it while she has the teleportation-type magic-circle activated. “I succeeded in connecting with Agreas and the town’s assembly hall. I will bring the vision up now.”
Then two 3D displays appear within the staffroom. The first one is showing Sairaorg-san who is at Agreas, and the other one shows Gondur-san who is at the town’s assembly hall. This is what Sairaorg-san says first. [What is happening?] Gondur-san answers his question. [We can presume that a barrier has been activated within this whole region. All of us are currently using creatures that serve us to measure the scale of this barrier. We have received a report that there’s a high chance that this town and Agreas is trapped in an ellipse-shaped barrier.] ……This whole region!? It seriously has a huge scale……
Gondur-san continues. [On top of that, all of us Magicians have most of our magic sealed. Just like this.] Gondur-san shows her forehead to us. A magic-circle that is releasing ominous light is drawn on her forehead. ……She has her magic sealed? Who on earth did that……? I have more doubts. I became curious, so I concentrate the demonic-power to my hand. ……The aura gathers. Besides me, the Student Council members also check their demonic-power. Irina also checks if she can use her Angel’s power and she has no problem doing so. ……So the Devils and Angels can use their powers huh. By the way, we checked whether the Sacred Gears and the Artificial Sacred Gears work here and they work fine. “I can use my Magic.”
Rossweisse-san also didn’t have her powers sealed. Gondur-san mutters when she sees that. [It seems like the seal is only limited to the Magicians here in this assembly hall. But to do this without having us sense even a slight presence……there sure is someone worth to be feared.] A seal that is only limited to the Magicians gathered at the assembly…… You can clearly tell that was their aim. “You are telling me someone who can make such a bold and wide move is with the enemy……?”
Saji says that while putting on a sarcastic smile. Kaichou mutters as she lifts up her glasses. “……I can come up with a possible theory.”
Gondur-san also says it quietly as if she remembered something. [—Yes, there is someone who can. The legendary Evil Dragon that was said to have controlled more than a thousand magic, —“Diabolism Thousand Dragon” Aži Dahāka. If it’s that famous Evil Dragon, then it must know a spell which can seal Magicians.] —! Everyone becomes speechless at Gondur-san’s words. ……That’s because the name of the legendary Evil Dragon was brought up. We received a report that Evil Dragon had been resurrected. Vali did get assaulted by him after all. The one that resurrected the Evil Dragon Aži Dahāka is the new Khaos Brigade—Qlippoth. The evil group that uses the power of Holy Grail to resurrect Evil Dragons and even goes as far as to create mass-produced Evil Dragons……
So this white sky as well as the seals on Gondur-san and the other Magicians was the doing of Aži Dahāka huh. “But the measure of this calibre…… Even if it’s the legendary Evil Dragon, I still can’t believe it can seal this vast region along with famous Magicians……”
Irina speaks her doubts. Certainly, being able to seal not only the territory but also all of the powerful Magicians exceeds our imagination, even if it is the doing of an enhanced Evil Dragon. Kaichou says it while she looks towards me. “But it will be a different story if it enhanced the effect of its spell.”
Then the one that passes my mind is Euclid. “—The Replica Boosted Gear huh.”
That’s what I say. ……If he transferred the increased power of the Boosted Gear to the legendary Evil Dragon……it’s natural for the range of the ability to have expanded. Gondur-san breathes out. [The barrier that surrounds this whole region and the forbidden magic that restrains the Magicians over here. Both spells must have been activated while it was enhanced by it. Even if it’s a replica, the Longinus sure does show a power that far surpasses common sense.] ……I agree. That bastard, he sure is misusing the replica’s ability as he desires.
