Tamamushi absorbed the remnants of Chrysaor's energy as Charlotte, Frey, and Raishin exchanged looks.
Spatial magic is superior to absorption magic but its usefulness is similar.
It can take away magic power.
However, mana when absorbed badly can cause adverse reactions.
Hence, the user needs to refine and control the mana absorption rate.
It's hard to control absorption magic while it is hard to execute spatial magic.
Magnus used Tamamushi to absorb Astrea's mana while controlling 3 other dolls.
One of them is Kamakiri which had teleport magic.
This is a testament of Magnus' powerful control and skills.
He motioned his hand and a portal appeared in the sky above Astrea.
Kamakiri dropped from the portal and went for a head splitter on Astrea.
A crystalline barrier shielded Astrea.
Ikaros' Aegis.
The barrier glimmered as the shockwaves reverberated around it. However, it stood firm.
Spatial transfer gave Kamakiri high mobility but her weapon is just a normal scythe, it cannot pierce Aegis.
Tamamushi followed up by tapping against Aegis and absorbing mana from the barrier.
In seconds, the barrier dimmed before it shattered.
Hotaru came charging after Tamamushi removed the defenses.
She tried to slit Astrea's throat with her daggers.
The force behind those daggers was enough to shatter boulders.
Hotaru had flame abilities which she could use to enhance herself.
It is almost like Yaya's Diamond strength.
Astrea might be hurt if she got hit.
Icicles intercepted Hotaru while evading Astrea.
Bam
The icicle exploded between Astrea and Hotaru.
The shockwave blew Tamamushi, Kamakiri, and Hotaru away.
Outside of Tamamushi's range, Astrea recalled her Chrysaor photon sword.
She tried to defeat Magnus with a swift strike again.
Himegumo (the doll with dragonfly character in its name), blocked the attack.
She used magic judging by the execution of magic formations after the fact.
However, nobody could identify the magic immediately.
Then, Himegumo allowed the slash to hit her.
Surprisingly, Himegumo was fine taking the hit. However, Astrea got hit by a mystical force.
It was like she slammed into a wall. She got staggered before she recovered in the air.
She had smoke and black marks coming out of her skin.
"Huh?'
Charlotte and Frey stopped.
"What was that?"
"She got hit!"
Raishin analyzed.
"What hit Astrea?"
It wasn't a shockwave.
A shockwave would have hurt Himegumo and Magnus who were not even 1 meter away from her.
They didn't know what attacks were used but they could guess.
Himegumo took the hit and she was fine after that.
It looks like.
"Ah, I see."
Wu Yan looked at Magnus.
"Force absorption and deflection? You reflected the damage back at her?"
"Reflecting damage?"
Charlotte and Frey gasped while Raishin yelled.
"There's that kind of magic?!"
Magnus said nothing. He focused on Wu Yan alone.
A reflection magic circuit.
Frey, Raishin, and Charlotte wondered if they could defeat Magnus now that they know he has: Reflection, Absorption, Teleport, and Enhancement magic circuits.
