Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"-- Meteogate"

A goddess who, while disappearing into different spaces, speaks such a word as the name of a move, with a chanting grunt. It was, in fact, like a magical chant --

Gogogogogogogogo!!

—— There began to be unusual signs around.

The first anomaly occurred in the blue sky, where few clouds floated. When suddenly, in the sky, something like a big black hole arises...... From there emerged something like a rock burning bright red, and it came straight down to the ground.

The look was like a meteorite entering the atmosphere, often portrayed in fantasy films, games, etc. The size is about 10m in diameter. If you take a direct hit, even if it's a dragon with a huge body, isn't it just too much?

Such an object falls out of the sky in the wake of Cortex...... I didn't have to dare, I never hit her.

Dogowong!!

The falling meteorite suddenly blew up into the wood dust and vanished. And I did it--

"... you didn't mean to do it ~? It doesn't hurt or itch ~? ♪ Ira

—— It still seemed to be Cortex himself.

There was something like a display floating in the air in front of her like that, intermittently flowing patterns that just seemed like block noise. But it seems Cortex had understandable information...... Meteorite (?) seemed to be the reason why it blew up. Well, even the blown principle is unknown.

The opposing goddess seems to have tried to narrow her eyes only slightly to the sudden events and ask Cortex what the hell happened. Perhaps no one in her long life has ever been powerless in that magic.

But now we're in battle. When you were doing something long, you decided that you could be harmed... Looks like she's decided to continue with the attack on Cortex.

"'--Parallel Startup'"

At that moment, the voice of the goddess is heard overlapping. A voice, as if there were more than one goddess, rang on the spot.

And they (?), at exactly the same time, casts the next magic.

"" "--Breakdown" "

Zuddwong!!

Three lightning bolts with dazzling light have fallen from the bright blue sky instead of meteorites. That's just "Blue Sky Thunder Thunder Thunder." That Cortex doesn't even seem to have had time to deal with an attack that's too sudden, allowing a direct strike of thunder.

That attack is particularly effective if the opponent is a machine equipped with electronics…. The goddess seems to have tried to disable her by destroying the control circuit of the Guardian and the Cortex.

... but the opponent is Cortex. There was no way she could not prevent lightning strikes, as she had been replacing her body from day to day. In fact, she seemed to have a plain look on her face, even under that attack. If you like, it's as if there was nothing...

What did Cortex think of that...... I asked the goddess this when she said she was in battle.

"... Goddess ~? There's one thing I'm very concerned about, so I'd like you to tell me ~..."

'... what is it?

"Do you need a spell you're talking about every time you use magic ~? You don't have to cast another spell, it doesn't change the power ~?

As Cortex said, the magic in this world could be used normally without chanting. But among people, it is believed that if you use magic without chanting, the output falls or the magic itself fails... Generally, when using magic, chanting was recommended. There's probably more like a placebo effect than it is a person exercising magic.

But in Cortex's case, homunculus near Android, not people. Since magic could be used without being influenced by mood or physical condition, he seemed to have realized earlier that chanting was useless to magic.

That should be the same for the Guardian Goddess...... Cortex didn't seem to understand why the goddess was chanting magic.

In response to that question, the goddess answers.

"... it has been decided since ancient times that magic is accompanied by chanting"

"... by the way, which world is that" ancient "ancient in ~? Depending on that, the meaning changes dramatically ~..."

…………

"Why are you shutting up there ~?

'... if people can use the magic of steady output with it and are convinced... don't you think that would be a good idea?

"... but you're not a person, you're a Guardian ~?

'... because we have to set an example for everyone'

and after placing the odd time, the goddess who replies so.

Cortex, hearing her reply like that, had what a complicated look on his face, because he had seen someone somewhere saying something very similar to the goddess, so maybe it was...
