Negi nodded and then went on to explain at his question. "Magic Cancel, a rare and powerful ability to instantly nullify and negate all magic, be it directed towards the user, or channeled through an item. While it's not 100% reliable, it shields Asuna-san from 99% of all spells, no matter what the intensity, type or lethality."

Negi shrugged. "I've seen her take some hits that she just walked through, like a conflagration spell which would have ignited an entire forest, or breaking out of Master's Eternal Rest spell which entombs the opponent in ice that will last a hundred years."

For this, this was old hat for Negi. To the mage before him, it would probably sound like a walking apocalypse for magic users everywhere.
