Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta Chapter 5

 

(7th army corps commander Sefiro’s POV)

 

 

Sefiro’s face paled when the golem was sliced in half.

 

 

The talk about exceeding his previous time from the start was just a joke. There’s no way he could do it she thought.

 

She wanted to find someone to experiment this golem she had confidence in. Choosing the most capable out of her brigade chiefs, Ike far surpa.s.sed her a.s.sumptions.

 

 

Ike and Sefiro are old friends. She looked after him since his childhood but never in her dreams did she think he would grow to such a strong magician.

 

 

 

“The kid that used to hide behind his grandfather’s back has become this strong”
Of course his power comes from dependence on his equipment 『Undead Robe』and『Cane of Ouroboros』. Even when leaving those out, it’s possible to say that in the Maou’s Army, he has the best ability.

 

 

Moreover, the Maou Army’s strongest witch herself has taught him magic since his childhood.

 

 

To think that such a kid has grown up to this point&h.e.l.lip;

 

 

“Truly a frightening kid”

 

 

If it’s him then maybe he’ll even surpa.s.s this Sefiro.(TLN: She addressed herself in 3rd person here)

 

 

No. It’s possible that he might even become the next generation’s Maou.

 

 

This was Sefiro’s intuition at work as she commits it to mind. There’s something unavoidable though.

 

 

It’s unfortunate that Ike has such a monstrous magical power but he’s human.

 

 

The height of one’s strength is around 40 years. Thinking that, it’s truly regrettable.

 

 

“Now there are secret arts to change people into demons but&h.e.l.lip;.”

 

 

If I bring up that plan, Ike surely won’t acknowledge it.

 

 

To live as a human. That’s the promise he exchanged with his late grandfather.
The fact that he isn’t the kind of person to break that promise now is something Sefiro knows well.
