Chapter 77


Chapter 77 Strongest Sage, Gives Present


"W-what is this . . . "


Arias asked me as the surrounding mana converged .


"It"s your own body, you know without me telling right?"


"Imploding from mana overload . . . "


Correct .


The magic I"ve put inside Arias forces a demon"s mana control to run amok and collect excess mana from the surroundings .


The demon that"s forced to gather mana will lose control of their mana, running amok--in short, it will implode and die .


. . . However, looks like Arias is hanging on to it hard .


Were he a lower ranked demon, I wouldn"t be surprised if he had already imploded by now .


"I see . A fitting magic for a monster . . . . But this isn"t enough to defeat me see?"


Arias laughed painfully as he said that .


The converging mana began to rapidly decrease .


It"s not like my magic is faulty .


The surrounding mana has simply dried up .


Since I had triggered Mana Disaster to materialize Arias, the mana in this vicinity had dried up .


"Right . Looks like it"s not enough . Since you seem to be working hard to control your mana . . . I"ll give you a present . "


I took out a magic stone from Storage magic .


"Present . . . Magic stone?"


Arias shifted his attention toward me while controlling the excess mana, looking dubious .


"Yeah . That said, I"m not giving this magic stone as is though . "


I answered while putting my mana into the magic stone .


Arias probably realizes what"s going to happen after seeing this .


After all, He has seen me crushing magic stones to trigger Mana Disaster .


"St . . . Stop it! Please stop!"


"Ah, sorry . You"re too late . "


I crushed the magic stone in my hand .


All of the vast amount of mana released from it got sucked into Arias"s body .


And, after a moment .


"U, UGAAAAAAAA!"


Arias imploded while screaming, blasting the surroundings .


I wait for the blast to recede while protecting myself with defend magic .


Several seconds later .


The ruined building has disappeared--there"s only a crater around where Arias was left .


After confirming that there"s a metal stake-like thing in that crater, I send 【Enforced Detection】 toward the sky .


Iris started to descend .


"Mathi-kun!"


Ruli got off Iris and hugged me .


"Why did you suddenly jump off! I was really worried you know!?"


"Aah . I did it to deceive the enemy . It didn"t work though . "


It"s a lie .


I had asked Iris to fly off high above to prevent the two from following me down .


"But . . . . "


"Well, he got off safe anyway, isn"t it fine . "


"Right right . Mathi-kun is Mathi-kun, of course he"s coming back safely!"


Following after Ruli, Iris and Alma stopped .


"But Alma, you were also really anxious until you saw Mathi-kun weren"t you!"


. . . . Ruli talked back to Alma .


Having people worrying about me is quite a fresh experience .


There was no one who would do that before I reincarnated .


Setting that aside, Ruli was still hugging me while we were conversing .


Personally, I"m very glad about this, I"d like this to continue a bit more . . . .


"I mean, Ruli, how long you"re planning to cling on Mathi-kun!"


"Ah! I . . . I"m sorry!"


Right when I thought that, Alma pointed that out and Ruli separated herself .


Ruli is looking down with a reddened face .


. . . The mood turned odd somehow . I should change the topic .


We"ve got a new problem we need to deal with after all .
