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 .

" . . . 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 .
