Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~ - Chapter 335

Chapter 335

" . . . Quite a violent one, aren't you . That darkness dragon . . . a companion of yours huh . "

Zadokilgias jumped diagonally backward to dodge the incoming claw while murmuring that .

Iris's claw missed its target, gouged the earth and blew away the surrounding buildings .

『Then how about this!』

Iris used her tail to mow horizontally along the ground .

Stone buildings are getting blown apart like they're made of paper as it's coming closer to Zadokilgias .

With the gigantic tail thoroughly mowing down everything on ground, Zadokilgias has no way to escape there .

"Tch . . . "

Zadokilgias jumped up into the air to dodge the tail while clicking its tongue .

However–lifting your feet off ground means losing foothold, destabilizing your posture if only a bit .

No way I would miss this chance .

I rushed out at once using magic and slashed at Zadokilgias .

Zadokilgias invoked a barrier below its feet using the momentous opening, stabilizing its posture .

However, I won't let that .

Zadokilgias deployed another barrier to divert my sword like earlier–but I had anticipated that .

I deployed another barrier beyond that barrier to alter my sword's trajectory even further .

After hitting two barriers, my sword is now moving toward Zadokilgias's center of gravity–the hardest spot to dodge .

『Iron Slash『Sharpening』『Mana Strike』– .

I enhanced my sword with magic right before it hit Zadokilgias .

It's got enough power to cut Zadokilgias in two if it hits the target .

However– .

"Way too slow . "

Zadokilgias blocked my sword with its own .

This demon fights with both swords and magic, just like me .

I had only deployed one barrier to alter my slash .

However, my action of diverting my sword with barrier isn't entirely pointless .

If I hadn't done that–this demon's sword would have been used to cut me up instead of blocking mine .

By leading its effort into defending, I had destroyed any chance of counterattack .

–It's going as I've foreseen so far .

I invoked more magic as my sword got flicked away .

『Instant Lightning』, a lightning magic .

It's quick to cast but with little firepower, a simple magic .

However, a clash between techniques is where simple magic shines .

There's no point in super powerful large-scale magic if it doesn't hit its target, even simple magic could be used to make an opening that would lead to enemy's demise .

My aim is Zadokilgias's legs .

Dodging this means destabilizing one's stance, hence it's an extremely effective mean of attack .

"Kuh . . . "

Zadokilgias cast 『Supercooled Waterdrops』 while blocking my attack using defensive magic .

Supercooling–a phenomenon in which water retains its liquid form when cooled to absolute zero temperature in stable state .

Water in this state changes form on impact .

Just as the name suggests, this magic sprays a huge amount of supercooled waterdrops on enemy .

It's not enough to directly kill your opponent–but since the water changes into ice the moment it hits, it will slow them down .

A fatal spell in this situation .

I dealt with that–by casting 『Impact Blade』 magic .

Shock waves got generated out of my sword and diffused in the air .

All the 『Supercooled Waterdrops』 in air turned into grains of ice, losing their effectiveness .

『Supercooled Waterdrops』 and defensive magic .

I thrust my sword forward at this opening created from it casting two magic at once .

Zadokilgias attempted to block my sword–but the moment our swords met, I invoked a personal spell on mine .

–『Resonant Sword』 .

By adding specific vibrations to my sword, it will resonate with the enemy's bones .

If one continues to get hit by this, their bones will vibrate due to resonance, destroying them from the inside .

On top of requiring some time to cause the resonance, it doesn't have the power to demolish bones–but even little cracks on bones will turn the tide to my favor .

However, Zadokilgias seemed to understand that .

Zadokilgias pulled the hand blocking my sword and twisted its body away before the resonance could get more intense .

However, it failed to dodge it all as my sword landed a shallow cut on its shoulder .

I was going to push more–but unfortunately, the flight time is over .

Zadokilgias who regained its foothold on ground immediately ran out of Disqualified Crest's range .

"You bastard, just who are you!? Where in the world did you learn that . . . "

Zadokilgias opened its eyes wide in shock from a distance .

"Beats me . "

It's only natural that Zadokilgias is shocked .

After all, this [Resonant Sword] was the spell that led to Zadokilgias's defeat in the past .

Breaking enemy's bones through their own sword, this [Resonant Sword] may looks like a very handy spell at a glance–but it's actually quite a flawed one .

It has several flaws .

First, it simply lacks firepower .

Its power is barely enough to create cracks on ordinary demons' bones, and completely ineffective against high-ranking demons and monsters . It will transmit irritating vibrations through their arms at most .

And for opponents in which [Resonant Sword] works against, much simpler magic would be enough to kill them, unless they possess extraordinary skills .

In other words, this [Resonant Sword] is only useful against those with [Extraordinary skills, yet are weak against this]–very rare foes, there were only several of them even in the past era .

Nevertheless, this is the spell I developed in order to defeat Zadokilgias .
