Chapter 74


Chapter 74 Strongest Sage, Regenerates


" . . . One . "


I took a moderately sized magic stone out of Storage magic, put my mana on it and crushed it .


However, my objective this time isn"t for 【Special Mana Enchant】 .


The mana contained within the magic stone gets released into the surroundings without being used at all .


"Two . "


While controlling the mana a bit to hold it back from scattering away, I crushed another magic stone .


The mana flow in the surroundings has changed compared to the usual .


A sign that it"s only a step away from Mana Disaster .


While monitoring that, I take out another magic stone and crush it .


"Three!"


Right after the magic stone in my hand was smashed, the surrounding air rolls up the mana and creates a whirlpool .

Afterward, the whirlpool that contained a vast amount of mana converged and started to emit light .


It"s an occurrence of Mana Disater .


However, it"s not like I failed .


On the other hand, I broke the magic stones to bring about this phenomenon .


"Who would have thought that you would forcefully make me materialize from my Mist form . . . Elhart called you monster . . . But even "monster" is too lukewarm to call you . "


"Nah, not really . I actually wanted to force you out of hiding with a proper method, but I couldn"t use it . "


Among the type of Mana Disaster, the most common one is monster outbreak .


Usually an outbreak of a large quant.i.ty of monsters would happen--however, there are cases where it doesn"t happen depending on the surroundings .


One of those cases is when a 『Mist Demon』 is merged into the surroundings .


If the Mana Disaster is of a small scale, the 『Mist Demon』 will be materialized instead of monster outbreak occurring .


--Well it"s quite the brute force of a method, and has a disadvantage .


"However, know that my rank differs from that of Elhart . Moreover, today I"m overflowing with power for some reason . Now that you"ve summoned me, are you ready to die?"


"I already know that you"re of a different rank . I"m not gonna die though . "


I probe into Arias"s mana while talking to buy some time .


Looks like he really got stronger compared to before materializing .


Overflowing with power doesn"t seem to be an exaggeration .


This is the side effect of forcing a 『Mist Demon』 to materialize through Mana Disaster .


Monsters summoned by Mana Disaster are usually powered up by the huge amount of mana .


It"s the same for demons .


" . . . I see . Then you can realize that by dying!"


Arias swung his sharp claws and kicked the ground .


Just as he said, his speed is incomparable to Elhart"s .


That"s why, I parried the attack without using Physical Reinforcement and 【Mana Slash】, and attacked back .


At the same time, I a.n.a.lyze the enemy"s habit, moves and battle style .


And after exchanging a few blows, I got the information I needed .


Now"s the time to execute the plan .


"Mu!?"


As I exchanged blows with Arias, I used the recoil and movement magic to retreat close to the wall .


While watching Arias who was surprised at my sudden action, I constructed magic--kicked the wall and closed the distance between us at once, slashing at him with my sword as I pa.s.sed by .


And right after that my left arm--fell to the ground .


This isn"t illusion that I used in the fight against Elhart .


My arm really did get chopped off by Arias .


"This match is over . I"ll let you choose how you"ll die . . . How do you wanna die?"


Arias asked me while looking at my fallen arm .


Looks like he"s convinced of his victory .


However, of course I don"t plan to die .


"Sorry, but I don"t plan to die again for at least 1000 years . Think it"s too early to choose the way I"m gonna die . "


I turn around at Arias while resetting my sword in my right hand .


Looks like the preparation for the real battle is complete .


"You"re bluffing . Even if it wasn"t your dominant arm, losing one is--"


As he said that while readying his sword, the right arm that Arias cut flew toward me --


The next moment, my arm is reattached back as if nothing happened .


" . . . You, are you really a human?"
