Chapter 164


Chapter 164 Strongest Sage, Predicts Moves


『The 14th is ready!』


『Roger! If you see a weird reaction from the Dragon Vein, immediately activate it!』


I resumed my attack after Ruli reported she was done preparing .


This time I"m not attacking with a sword, but hitting fast by using magic on myself and on the ground .


" . . . Kuh!"


The demon evaded it while sounding irritated .


--He"s acting .


In fact, I"m attacking in accordance to this demon"s plan .


As a proof--there"s a trap that the demon has prepared beforehand on my feet now .


Since it"s installed inside the Dragon Vein, the trap is hard to find and powerful .


Of course, I step on it because I"ve predicted it .


And then the demon attempts to activate the trap on my feet just as I predicted .


If the demon activates the trap, Ruli"s magic will nullify it and I"ll hit the demon with the real attack during that chance .


However . . .


『Hold it, don"t be lured by his trick! Defense magic!』


The demon got a message through magic right before he activated the trap .


Hearing that, without hesitation, the demon immediately stopped the activation and deployed defense magic .


. . . . I see .


Reading moves is the job of the demon giving the instructions huh .


『Lure, does that mean . . . He found out about the Dragon Vein magic?』


『No, I doubt he could find that skilfully hid spell art in the middle of this fight . . . . He must have guessed something because you were acting suspiciously . 』


I heard their conversation in the communication magic as I ceased attacking and jumped backward .


Looks like they haven"t realized that I"ve detected the magic in the ground . . . The demon giving instructions seems to be well experienced in combat .


In fact, this demon did act suspiciously, thus even if I didn"t directly find the trap, that was enough hint for the trap"s existence .


『So the rumor that says Mathias Hildesheimr is the reincarnation of Gaias is true?』


『Impossible . The era is too far apart, and if he were really Gaias, you"d have long been dead, I"d have long been blown away by his magic too . 』



Such a rumor is circulating among the demons huh . . .


Well, the part about Gaias reincarnation is correct though .


. . . Still, does that means the demon that"s giving orders here knows the past me . He"s quite ancient if he really does .


Well, every demon that met the past me should have all perished after all, so it"s probably something he heard from his fellow demons .


Either way, that demon is giving quite the accurate instructions, and it seems this demon here has been trained to follow those instructions .


However, that fact can also be used in itself .


Jamming their comm at the right moment will create an opening .


The comm magic that they use is a type that"s easy to intercept yet hard to jam . . . But the magic I taught Ruli should be enough to block it for 10 seconds by disturbing the environment mana .


And 10 seconds are more than enough time .


『Ruli, prepare the 17th magic along with the 14th magic . Use the 14th when there"s a change on the Dragon Vein, and the 17th when I tell you to!』


The 14th magic is for annulling the activation of the trap in the Dragon Vein .


And the 17th is a magic to disturb the environment mana, obstructing long range magic . . . especially comm magic and such .


Those magic have their own names but a.s.signing numbers to them makes things easier in coordinations like this .


These two supports will help me smash the demon"s defense magic .


And a few seconds later .


『It"s ready!』


Ruli contacted me .


Now then . . . Let"s break apart this anti Disqualified Crest magic plan .
