Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Chapter 115

I left the center of royal capital where many people crowding and went toward a forest slightly away from the capital .

In order to finish a work as I told Ruli and Alma .

The problem is the other party in that work--

"For real . . . . Those guys went and got annihilated . Is that Mathias guy really a monster for real?"

"That bunch were of the weakest class even among us demons . . . . Nevertheless, instantly killing 14 of them is unusual . . . . We should regard him as quite a monster . "

These demons are having such conversation in front of me while constructing some kind of magic .

It's true that they are a little stronger than the 14 demons I defeated, but . . . . How do I say it, it fits the phrase "Comparing heights between acorns . "

I've hidden myself sure, but I've made the concealment weaker on purpose in order to investigate the opponent's detection capability .

They don't seem like they notice me at all though .

. . . . Now that their magic is about to be finished, it's about time for me to show up .

This kind of specialized magic construction has a high chance of causing some weird phenomenon if you carelessly sabotage it halfway through, therefore, it's better to leave it alone until it's near completion .

"Yeah . But well, that thing is nothing but garbage compared to us . Doesn't look like he notices our presences either . "

"Indeed . Either way, we won't ever have to fight that guy . Since this magic will kill him . "

"Oh that sounds interesting . What magic you're gonna use to to kill me again?"

I joined in their conversation since the timing was just right to butt in .

Of course, there's no reply .

Confused and surprised words get thrown instead .

"Wha . . . Why are you here!"

"Anyone would notice when you're putting up a magic that interesting . I think you guys should be a bit more prudent and hide your mana when you're constructing a magic . "

I pointed at the magic they were building .

Looks like it's completed but . . . . The composition of this magic is all wrong .

I mean, it's bad and all, but wrong .

By the way, I'm wasting time talking with them like this . . . . is because there is a peculiar situation in this fight .

It's the same reason why I didn't bring Ruli and the others with me .

The fight this time is delicate in many things .

"Humans, detecting mana? . . . . Oh I see now . You're planning to confuse us by saying some cryptic things . That's not happening!"

The demons said as they pointed their weapons at me .

The part about detecting mana is true though .

While feeling a bit murky for getting treated like a liar for using such an ordinary technique, I reply them back .

"Well, who cares about the reason . I found a distortion in the Dragon Vein earlier . Stop throwing the mana balance out of order with some weird magic . "

Half of this is true .

Thanks to a distortion in the Dragon Vein, the Capital barrier construction work was finished slightly faster than planned .

However, this magic doesn't really have anything to do with the Dragon Vein .

These demons probably don't understand what magic they're building anyway from the way they're constructing it, so they'll probably get tricked by that remark .

" . . . O-of course we knew that! Hence we will kill you with this magic! With the power of the Dragon Vein!"

See . They really don't get it, do they .

This magic has no capability to interfere with the Dragon Vein .

It's just a spell art--a badly made one at that--that will cause a huge monster outbreak by using the mana from demons that have died .

However, I've managed to put the two within my magic range during our talk .

Thus, I unfold the next magic .

"Wha . . . You bastard, what are you scheming!"

The demons let out their voices in surprise as they suddenly found that they couldn't move their body .

I've used a magic called 『Mana Thread Binding』 to bind them .

"Isn't it obvious? I'm gonna kill you demons . "

While kindly telling that to the demons, I shoot an attack magic at the weak-looking demon to defeat it .

I'm using a showy magic instead of my sword to kill it in order to instigate the other demon's sense of impeding crisis .

"GYAAAAAAA!"

Receiving my magic, the weak-looking demon died while suffering pointlessly .

"Kuh, you monster . . . . I've got no choice!"

After seeing that, the other demon released a huge amount of mana while looking vexed .

It's a magic to overload oneself and strengthen the body in a stretch to free the binding .

Good . He knew this much magic at least .

If he didn't, I planned to pretend that I made a mistake and loosened the binding on purpose .

While I was thinking that, the demon flew into the forest, running away while trying to hide himself .

He sure is quick on his feet despite calling me, 『nothing but garbage』 before I got here .

The demon in question is seemingly trying to run away while hiding himself with magic--but the mana from his concealment magic is too flashy, it makes him easier to discover instead .

--It's like this demon hasn't learned anything at all .

And I just taught him to better hide his mana earlier . . . .

It's easy to run after and kill the demon .

However, I didn't pursue the demon as it disappeared into the forest's horizon while flashily emitting its mana .

--Alright . Looks like it went well .
