Chapter 339


Chapter 339 Strongest Sage, Reminds the Past


"I can move no problem . Doesn"t seem to be a jamming type magic . . . Just what"d you do?"


Zadokilgias asked while taking a stance with its restored arms .


However--I just kept swinging my sword wordlessly .


" . . . No response huh . Fine, I"ll have those women responsible for the magic stones spit it out once you"re dead . "


Zadokilgias blocked my sword while saying that .


I didn"t deploy [Resonant Sword] .


Zadokilgias didn"t use [Reflective Strike] either . Or more like, it couldn"t .


I have some spare rooms, magically speaking, due to not using [Resonant Sword] .


Using [Reflective Strike] in that situation would only get it blocked by me .


A sound judgement .


However, this match is my [Checkmate] already .


Doesn"t matter what kind of plan Zadokilgias is cooking, its death is certain .


I poured specific mana into my sword the moment our swords clashed .

" . . . What the heck is this?"


Zadokilgias let that out right as our swords crossed .


And a second later--Zadokilgias"s fingertips began to crumble down like they were dissolving .


Seeing that, I pulled back my sword and fell back .


However, Zadokilgias"s fingertips won"t stop crumbling away .


The crumble even gradually expands to its whole body .


Zadokilgias"s limbs are crumbling down into sands that get blown off by wind .


"What have you done?"


Zadokilgias sounded perplexed as it watched its body turning into sands .


"It can"t be stopped even if you get the answer to that . "


Thus I replied .


In fact, the crumble wouldn"t stop even if I wished for it .


No matter what anyone does now, the only fate awaits Zadokilgias is death--no, annihilation .


" . . . It can"t be, my soul?"


Zadokilgias murmured as its decay progressed .


. . . It realized huh .



Zadokilgias"s soul always had a deep wound to begin with .


It"s because the magic it used to reincarnate itself wasn"t flawless .


I saw through that fact from its mana reaction mixed in Dragon Veins .


Thus, once the altered mana was in, I sent specific mana into Zadokilgias when we crossed swords, stimulating the altered mana in one dash .


The stimulated altered mana wrenched open the damage on Zadokilgias"s soul .


And this is the result of that .


"Yea . Told you didn"t I? Nothing can stop it . "


Magic that can manipulate souls are all complex .


And reincarnation spell is among the hardest even compared to the rest of that type .


Such that even the past me which specialized in production type magic needed several hours to construct a personal-use magic circle .


Perfectly constructing magic of that scale is a daunting task even for a race that excels in magic like demons .


Even Zadokilgias is unlikely capable of such feat .


And that"s not all .


In order to perfect my reincarnation, I built the spell formula to off myself and chose death on my own volition .


Dying by my own magic was the reason I could pull the perfect death for reincarnation .


On the other hand, Zadokilgias had set up a reincarnation spell that would activate upon its demise .


And then it eventually got bested by me, and died .


Back then, I defeated Zadokilgias by firing off a high-powered spell that utterly annihilated it without leaving a trace after destroying its arms with [Resonant Sword] .


And there"s simply no way to reincarnate a complete soul in an environment polluted with so much noise from that high-powered magic I fired .


As a result, Zadokilgias got reincarnated with a damaged soul .


Well, I suppose you could say it was lucky enough to even reincarnate .


" . . . Looks like it . "


Zadokilgias invoked multiple recovery spells in an attempt to heal its body .


But none of the spell showed any effect .


Your body naturally breaks down when your soul suffers a fatal wound .


Especially since demons possess a proportionally larger amount of mana in their body, the breakdown manifests this way .


"Answer me this at least . Just who in the world are you? I know none who possesses such level of magical skills . "


"Oh really? It might very well be a familiar name to you . "


Zadokilgias knew the past young me .


There"s a chance it might have forgotten about me . . . But I doubt it would forget the human who killed it .


"Familiar? . . . I wouldn"t have let someone this monstrous alive had I known-- . "


Zadokilgias"s eyes opened wide midway .


Then it threw a question while agape .


Even with lives of hundreds magic combatants and thousands of civilians on its hands, Zadokilgias must have remembered the very enemy who killed it .
