Chapter 205


Chapter 205 Strongest Sage, Recovers


"Mathi-kun, are you all right!?"


"Didn"t you get stabbed earlier!? Mathi-kun, don"t die . . . "


Alma and Ruli rushed up to me when I got back to the ground after defeating Zaridias .


The two looked really worried, but when they saw me without a single wound, their expressions turned to confusion .


"Eh, didn"t a really huge sword stab right through you . . . ?"


"Is it recovery magic? But your clothes are perfectly fine too . . . Was Mathi-kun being stabbed, an illusion?"


The two curiously checked my body as they said that .


My body is completely flawless right now .


"No, I did almost get killed by Zaridias for real . I"m fine now thanks to this sword though . "


In fact, I did get killed once, but I kept silent since they would worry about me if I said it .


Ruli was observing my body closely with a serious expression while listening .


And after she"s absolutely sure that I"m fine--she hugs me .


"Mathi-kun, you"re really alright!"


"Ah yeah, I thought I said so . . . "


. . . It"s bad for my heart when she"s this close, but I can"t get away since the sword in my hand is blocking my attempt to .


If I let go of this sword, the mana there will lose its stopping place and go explode .


After the side benefit--I mean, an inevitable happening was over, Ruli who separated from me, asked .


" . . . So what is that sword anyway?"


"This is a magic sword that revives its user when they die, and grants them a vast amount of mana . I reckon the mana will last for another five minutes now . "


I point the sword sideward, and shoot out an attack magic with the mana at a nearby rock .


The girls look astounded and like they get it now after seeing the enormous mana .


"S-so that"s how you did it . . . "


"But there"s no way Mathi-kun could control such a huge amount of mana, couldn"t you? Does it have a mana control unit installed too?"


"Naw, you can"t fit a mana control unit that can manage this much mana in a sword, I"m doing the controlling myself . . . There"s some knack in controlling a ma.s.sive amount of mana indeed, but it"s pretty easy to do once you"re used to it, you know . "


This sword is probably unusable to the girls, but they would still need to be able to control a large quant.i.ty of mana to use other magic items and such .


I should teach them how to do it until the opportunity presents itself .


. . . Several knights ran up to us from the city while we were talking .


From the crest carved on their armor, they"re a unit under direct orders of the king .


"Mathias-sama! Are you safe!"



Looks like the king knew that I had defeated the demon .


Our fights with the demons should be seen from the capital after all .


"Yea, I"m fine . And there"s no need to worry about the dragon . "


" . . . We"re truly grateful to you for defeating the demon . "


Ruli asks the knights who bowed their heads at us .


"What happens to the demon inside the city?"


Now that she mentioned it, there was a demon inside the city .


I can"t use mana detection right now due to the mana unleashed by the magic sword . . . How"s it going I wonder .


"The Second Academy students are currently taking care of the demon"s subjugation . According to princ.i.p.al Edward, there"s no problem with it, the students should be able to defeat the demon!"


So the Second Academy is now strong enough to beat demons huh .


Seems like there"s no need to worry about demons that slip past the barrier making a mess inside .


And now we can relax . . . or not . We can"t .


The 『Chaotic Demons』 Zaridias uttered in his last moment .


Zaridias had already completely abandoned the idea of surviving when he said the words .


It didn"t sound like he was pleading for life .


If these 『Chaotic Demons』 really exist and are as powerful as Zaridias, this world might really be on the brink of extinction .


Looks like our training in a peaceful world won"t be happening anytime soon .


. . . . But that prospect too is interesting in itself .
