r place used the same magic. Although it is possible to evaluate the cause-effect relationships, but this cannot be confirmed accurately.

It is almost impossible to even estimate at least where the magic was used, if the distance between the magician and the place of activation of magic is at the level of several hundred kilometers. And Tatsuya was capable of such magic beyond the longest distance.

Tatsuya continued to sit, staring at the screen. The third eye put by the butt on the floor was even now connected to the equipment in this room. His glasses displayed some numeric data, not shown on the big screen.

Among them, one of the values, showing the amplitude of psion waves, began to oscillate unnaturally. The amplitude has repeatedly increased and dropped for a short time.

Tatsuya got up and prepared the Third Eye. No one around was surprised at this sudden behavior. The consoles in front of the seated officers displayed the same information as in Tatsuya's glasses.

- Activity of psion waves is fixed! - The voice of the operator was heard.

The image on the screen was scrolled, and the place where the activity of psion waves was seen rose to the center of the screen. It was a place, one might say, at a stone throw from the Japanese fleet that was being intercepted.

Using the support of the Third Eye, Tatsuya directed an Elemental Sight look at the specified coordinates. There emerged a sequence of small scale magic. Not only was the scale of event rewriting small, but also the amount of information in the sequence of magic after its completion was small. Judging from the information received, it was magic, decomposing water to oxygen and hydrogen, after which it ignited them, but it only had the power of a ground anti-personnel mine.

The time Tatsuya spent reading and processing this information, without exaggeration, was one moment. The next moment, he already pulled the CAD trigger. Based on the information received, he built in his zone of calculation the sequence of magic "Gram Dispersion" and was about to launch it.

However, he interrupted the activation of "Gram Dispersion". Because there was an unknown component in the enemy magic sequence.

Even now, he could destroy the sequence module of magic, which decomposes water into a detonating gas and ignites it. He interrupted his magic, because he noticed a module that he had not seen before.

The added component was two. The first of them was responsible for the delayed launch and there were no problems with its decoding.

However, another component strongly attracted Tatsuya's attention.

"Copying a sequence of magic?"

"... No, it's not just copying, instead of duplicating the same magic sequence, a new magic sequence is automatically created with new projection coordinates and activation time?"

The sequence of magic is something that is created within the magic calculation zone. This is something taken for granted for modern magic, but this does not mean that this applies to all magic. For example, using ancient talisman to record the final version of the magic sequence on the talisman surface.

Many styles of ancient magic also inflict a sequence of magic on things such as an "altar", "spellbook", "magic wand" and other "tools", thereby making them "mediums of magic."

However, what he now "saw" was different from all this.

In the sequence of magic was included the function of constructing a sequence of magic.

Although it was like a cyclic challenge that gave a sequence of magic the function of creating an activation sequence in the magic calculation area, but this module allowed a sequence of magic to create a sequence of magic on Eidos, which is the goal of magic activation. Moreover, while the cyclic call only duplicates the same activation sequence, this module has the function of automatically introducing a value of a variable different from the value entered in the original magic sequence.

For a moment he wondered how the enemy's sequence of magic had multiplied and covered the surface of the sea in the same instant.

"This is why the activation delay!"

Having slightly adjusted the delay when copying magic sequences, activate them all at once and get the effect of simultaneous creation and ignition of the entire volume of rattling gas.

"This is Tuman Bomba!?"

It was impossible to be sure that this is a complete picture of the Strategic Class Magic "Tuman Bomba".

However, he did not have time to doubt either.

Tatsuya canceled Gram Dispersion and switched to the sequence of Mist Dispersion.

The effect of modification of the event was the decomposition of water. Its separation into oxygen and hydrogen.

Burning of explosive gas is ... Binding of hydrogen and oxygen. Synthesis of water.

He realized that the enemy's sequence of magic to generate heat does not burn hydrogen, but directly binds hydrogen to oxygen.

Synthesis of water by magic and the decomposition of water by magic.

The magic that modifies the event with the opposite effect forced the "competing" forces to cancel each other!

- Confirmation of cancellation of enemy magic.

Not reacting to Sanada's voice, Tatsuya directed his gaze to the enemy ships. He managed at the last moment, but there was no guarantee that he could do it next time. In addition, if they increase the activation scale, Tatsuya's magic will not be able to cover it. It can grow to uncontrolled scales, if you do not prevent the enemy from completing the copying of the sequences of magic. Moreover, the original sequence of magic with which copying begins can be released several times in a row.

"What troublesome magic."

Thus, it will not be possible to quickly come up with concrete countermeasures. Instead, he decided to move the enemy into a state of impossibility of movement.

Tatsuya's Mist Dispersion decomposed the propellers of enemy ships one by one. They stopped one by one, starting with the ones leading the way, thus the armada of ships coming from Karafuto, got into something that could be called a cork. After about a third of the enemy ships were stopped, he lowered his arms holding the Third Eye.

Vladivostok, Academy of Sciences of the New Soviet Union, Far Eastern headquarters. In one corner of the building without windows, from a cabin in the shape of a cube with a side of about 3 meters, stood a chair resembling a throne of modern palaces.

In this chair sat the official Strategic Class Magician of the New Soviet Union, Igor Andreivitch Bezobrazzoff.

Slowly removing the helmet from the top of his face, he shook his head and stood up.

"The magic, is this" decay "...? Muttered Bezobrazzoff in a room where, beside him, there was no one, and he looked around. In this research building there were no windows. Everything in this building had a high degree of secrecy.

For example, the cubic cabin behind Bezobrazzoff was a supercomputer that helped in calculating the magic of the magician placed inside. Roughly speaking, it was a device that, when compared with conventional CAD, helped in the activation of large scale magics. The magician can activate magic of a scale that cannot be reached by them without conscious assistance in the form of calculating all factors and obtaining the optimal activation sequence.

Where you can not look, you will see only the walls. But Bezobrazzoff, as if ignoring thick walls, stared east-north-east.

To the place where the retreat began after the failed invasion of Japan.

If Bezobrazzoff continued his support, there would still be something to change. However, this operation was not really intended to invade Japan. It was necessary for ordinary soldiers to release steam.

The recently concluded major conflict with the Grand Asian Alliance of Japan does not have the resources to retaliate. On this, in fact, this strategy is calculated.

"Well, this premonition did not fail us ..."

Although it was not yet determined, but as far as he could see, in the pursuit of the Japanese army there was no desire to continue the pursuit to Karafuto.

What he did not expect was the existence of a magician capable of annihilating his magic.

"Who the hell is ...? Maybe the same one, transforming the mass into energy, the Strategic Class Magician who destroyed the fleet of the Great Asian Alliance ...?"

Mentally muttered Bezobrazzoff, talking to himself. The first guess he came very close to the truth.
