Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~ - Chapter 287

Chapter 287

In the previous era, the greatest class of attack magic would be 『Great Collapse Formation』 if we're exclusively talking about destructive power .

A single shot of this magic is capable of blowing these entire facilities away .

However, by the time I was born in my previous life, this [Great Collapse Formation] had already been considered an out-of-date magic .

The magic circle needed to invoke it is too complex, with 10 minutes cast time and on top of that, you cannot adjust its range, so of course it would .

Even power, there's so many other magic I developed that are more destructive and more efficient than this magic .

Yet, I still chose [Great Collapse Formation] .

There were times when it was deployed as a strategic attack magic, but by the time I was alive in the past era, no one was using it anymore due to its difficult use case .

However, you can cast this magic worry free so long as no one is getting in your way nor you care about getting anyone caught in it .

" . . . Surprised that I could still recall it . "

I'm constructing the magic smoothly while murmuring .

This is the first time I'm casting such a large scale magic since I reincarnated .

. . . Few minutes later, right when I have finished constructing about 70% of [Great Collapse Formation] spell art .

My mana detection showed a reaction for an instant .

That mana reaction went through these facilities in a straight line .

It originally came out of a detector magic tool .

And the destination is–a bare wall inside the facilities .

–Figured .

The mana reaction just now occurred due to a mana detector that got activated for an instant .

My current amount of mana cannot afford the casting of [Great Collapse Formation] .

The reason why I attempted to cast it despite of that was because this magic was already well known as a large-scale magic in the era Anmorr brothers lived in .

The [Great Collapse Formation] itself was nothing more than a threat .

My true goal was to make elder Anmorr operate a magic tool and probe his location from the mana reaction that ensued .

Elder Anmorr himself must have been aware that I didn't have enough mana to cast [Great Collapse Formation] .

However, even after knowing that, elder Anmorr still feared [Great Collapse Formation] .

After all, there are no magic researchers who don't know [Great Collapse Formation] .

And thus, elder Anmorr went to confirm whether my mana was enough or not .

As a result, his location got exposed to me .

Even though it wouldn't have been were he just waited idly .

" . . . Over here huh . "

I destroyed the wall where the mana went in to .

Then along with a loud crumbling sound–elder Anmorr showed himself up .

An attack magic flew at me from above at the same time, but I dodged that with a jump and used binding magic on elder Anmorr .

Elder Anmorr attempted to use counter magic when he saw that–but he really is lacking in battle experience .

Both his hands got bound before he managed to pull off the counter magic .

Since the binding magic I used includes jamming magic, there's nothing he can do anymore .

"To think I would be found out . . . I thought it would be fine if it was only for an instant . "

"I went out of my way invoking [Great Collapse Formation] to get you use detection magic . There's no way I'd miss it . "

"That does make sense . "

Elder Anmorr nodded while still being bound .

It doesn't seem like he's going to struggle .

Instead, he talks to me .

" . . . I have one request . "

"No point in trying to weasel out your way . . . You will have to die here . "

Unlike Grevil, elder Anmorr wouldn't hesitate to endanger humanity for the sake of research .

Even in the previous era, these brothers ended up getting executed because they performed some dangerous human experimentations .

This guy may be the most knowledgeable person in magic after me in this world no, but there's no way he can teach in Second Academy .

"No, I'm not going to beg for my life . . . From what I've seen, you are a very talented magician . I'd like you to take over our research . "

No way .

Is what I wanted to say right away–but I need to ask elder Anmorr some things myself .

Let's hear him out for a bit while watching out for attempts to break away .

"Okay . . . First of all, I need to know where you got [Broken Star] from . "

He must have used a lot of [Broken Star] to prepare that many revival magic .

Its origin intrigued me .

"We got it from a small lump of [Broken Star] which fell from the sky . You can reach the spot using magic freight car from here . . . Though getting your hands on it would be difficult even for us . "

"What do you mean?"

"[Broken Star] is too powerful, you cannot transport it using ordinary methods . . . In order to transport [Broken Star], you have to use a specific magic to peel a very small part off it, then enclose the [Broken Star Flake] in a magic stone . On top of that, you have to use the [Broken Star Flake] within 43 hours after you peeled it off, lest it would disappear . "

I see .

Indeed, that much labor is only right if you want carry out [Supra-natural Art] .

. . . Though [Supra-natural Art] barely existed in my past life, forget about using it .

"Can't we just use that method then?"

" . . . That was the case just a while ago . But just three days ago when we went to fetch it, the area around [Broken Star] had turned into a hotbed of powerful monsters . . . Retrieving it is impossible now . "

A hotbed of powerful monsters huh .

Enemies strong enough to make Anmorr brothers, human beings from the long past era, give up collecting research materials–then those monsters must be truly powerful for sure .

"The monsters who had died around that area got resurrected huh . "

"Exactly . In addition, most of those monsters have gone out of control due to their excess life force . . . It has gotten completely out of hand . "

Okay well that's bad .

Right now, the only downside is [Broken Star Flakes] being inaccessible, but if more out of control monsters keep emerging up, it's only a matter of time before the damage spreads to other places .
