Magic Barrier, one of the foundational Spell Formulas, was a required course for most Mages and even magical girls.
Barriers had many uses. They could serve as defenses against magical attacks; they could also create enclosed spaces, whether to trap enemies, protect oneself, block sound, or serve as an experimental site.
The enormous Magic Barrier currently covering the orphanage was likewise one application of this Spell Formula.
Tian Sheng, however, could not achieve anything on that scale. To make a Magic Barrier cover such a massive complex was impossible even for someone at the Controller Stage. It had to be the work of an entire group.
Presumably, it was the group chasing after him.
He selected one of the newest-looking dice from his hand and clenched it. As strands of magic power flowed, fine, gleaming patterns lit up across its surface.
The black-robed figure behind him also erupted with light. Immediately afterward, several crimson magic bullets, seemingly aflame, shot from their hand straight toward Tian Sheng's head.
At that very moment, just as the magic bullets were about to hit, Tian Sheng thrust the die behind him. In an instant, a regular hexagonal Magic Barrier abruptly unfolded at his back.
Several magic bullets struck the Magic Barrier behind Tian Sheng, nearly instantly cracking it with thin fissures and producing a shrill, teeth-grating screech like tearing metal.
The black-robed figure's Spell Formula was called Flame Bullet, a common energy-shaping offensive Spell Formula. Its destructive power was considerable even among Spell Formulas of the same level, far surpassing that of ordinary small-caliber firearms.
During the clash, both of them could clearly see that, aside from the Flame Bullets that hit the barrier, those that missed smashed into the corridor walls and easily blasted several deep craters into them.
