"The structure of the magitech circuit has largely been analyzed. It's a dual-source array. As long as we can puncture it from both the inside and outside simultaneously, we should be able to handle it."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the technician quickly reported on the current analysis of the barrier. There were a large number of technicians working in parallel, and their progress was far faster than expected.
As they deciphered the magitech circuits of the crimson barrier, it gradually became clear how they could force it open without triggering the mire of quicksand after which such barriers were named.
The dual-source array had a mana supply node on both the inside and outside. If they could destroy both sources of mana, the quicksand barrier would lose its power supply and begin to degrade on its own. By continuously using low-power attacks that wouldn't break the barrier to drain its energy, they could eventually dismantle it.
"Have we figured out the source of this mana? It seems to be appearing out of thin air. Teams One to Four have already delivered their reports, haven't they?"
The technician prepared a piercing spike to penetrate the barrier. If the interior was a mana-free zone, they couldn't use magic that passed through the barrier to destroy the internal mana source. Using magitech devices powered by mana crystals would be the only option.
The logistics officer nodded. "Yes, we've mostly figured it out. The fleshy roots and the small creatures that the other teams have been handling are likely the source of it all. They're being sacrificed and converted into mana."
"'Sacrifice'?...
