It's a very simple magic that simply produces hands made of mana out of ground .
The strength of these hands depends on the user--and at the hands of a skilled user, the [Hand of Dragon Vein] boasts extremely dense form and high resistance against magic .
Due to its cast speed, and a wide range of applications, this is probably the most famous dragon vein magic in the past era .
I produced several more hands out of ground and restrained demon Giwald with them .
"You're severely mistaken if you think mere [Hands of Dragon Vein] can overpower me--"
Demon Giwald cast magic and twisted its body in an attempt to escape the restraint .
However, it's unable to break free from the [Hands of Dragon Vein] .
In the blink of an eye, [Hands of Dragon Vein] grabbed demon Giwald's entire body, not even giving it any chance to cast magic .
[Hand of Dragon Vein] is the most basic of Dragon Vein magic .
As such, it ties closely to the user's capability and experience .
Number, density, magic resistance, grip strength .
There's a world of difference between a veteran magic combatant's [Hand of Dragon Vein] to that of an intermediate mage .
Beginners can't even invoke this magic .
In other words, this is the most effective magic that makes use of my past life's experience .
I actually never used this magic much--but I'm glad I practiced on it a bit .
While I was thinking--demon Giwald had begun constructing an attack magic .
Looks like it's trying to launch a counteroffensive .
AdvertisementThe [Hand of Dragon Vein] I'm using is ill suited for attacking .
I need to cast attack magic in order to defeat demon Giwald .
This demon must be planning to launch that magic just right when I switch from [Hand of Dragon Vein] to attack magic .
That's never happening though .
"Now then . . . How many seconds will it last . "
I poured my mana into Dragon Vein as I murmured .
Then the spot where demon Giwald is--flares up .
--[Flame of Dragon Vein]
An attack magic that was as popular as [Hand of Dragon Vein] in the past .
Its effect is extremely simple .
The magic converts Dragon Vein's mana into flame to burn its target down .
"Madness! Simultaneous execution of dragon vein magic!? That's suicidal!" Dragon Vein's magic require a precise mana control . But it's not something experience can't overcome .
"I wonder about that . " I gradually increase the firepower while monitoring the load on my magic circuits . " . . . If you're so eager to die, allow me the honor . " Looks like demon Giwald has abandoned the idea of casting attack magic . This is the exact opposite of what happened earlier . The difference is demon Giwald only made use of Dragon Vein while I'm connected to Dragon Vein right now . However, my magic control is steadfast . " . . . I see, so this is how . " I finally got the knack for Dragon Vein magic after not using it for so long .
I push a large quantity of mana into Dragon Vein all at once . "T-this can't be . . . " Demon Giwald muttered in confusion . [Flame of Dragon Vein] is burning down the sturdy body of a high-class demon . --A while later . " . . . That lasted longer than expected . " After confirming demon Giwald's death, I was about to cut off my connection to Dragon Vein . "Guh . . . !?" "Mathi-kun!?" Ruli ran up to me when she saw me suddenly falling . The overload was due to Dragon Vein . I considered the possibility of demon Giwald using up the last of its man-but such a little amount wouldn't have been enough to make me lose control . I probe inside the Dragon Vein with that in mind . " . . . Why is that demon?" I reflexively said that out loud . --[Demon of Destruction] Zadokilgias . Don't tell me . . . This [Chaotic Demon] that was getting awakened refers to Zadokilgias . But there's no way that thing can be resurrected . Chapter end
Demon Giwald sounded confused within the restraint .
Controlling two at once is difficult indeed .
Casting multiple magic that were far more difficult than these in parallel were pretty much everyday occurrences to the past me .
--It's quite burdensome on the magic circuits though .
Seeing that, demon Giwald--smirked .
The demon halted its magic construction and began pouring its mana into Dragon Vein instead .
I'm attacking through Dragon Vein, demon Giwald is trying to interfere with it .
It's easier to control Dragon Vein when you're connected to it--but conversely, any lapse in control will instantly destroy your entire body's magic circuits, resulting in death .
And this demon must be trying to make that a reality .
Heck, [Flame of Dragon Vein]'s firepower is steadily increasing even .
And then . . .
This will work .
A moment later--[Flame of Dragon Vein] completely covered demon Giwald .
Even the solid build of demon cannot stand against this much thermal power .
Demon Giwald has fallen, leaving only a carbonized body on the ground .
Right at that moment--I felt an enormous load on my magic circuits as I fell down on my knee with an intense pain .
I analyzed the situation while repairing my magic circuits .
Of course, I didn't make such a basic mistake as losing control right before severing the connection .
There was a vast amount of mana pushed into me from the Dragon Vein .
The cause must lie in another spot .
And--I found the culprit .
The information I got from Dragon Vein was just that shocking .
Mana reaction from a demon who was feared as the worst even in the past era was mixed in Dragon Vein .
If that's true then [Man-eating Blade] won't make a difference .
Even considering the power [Broken Star], it's just impossible .
After all, the past me had completely annihilated this [Demon of Destruction] Zadokilgias, leaving absolutely no trace of it behind .
