Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Strongest Sage, Recovers

"Mathi-kun, are you all right!?"

"Didn't you get stabbed earlier!? Mathi-kun, don't die . . . "

Alma and Ruli rushed up to me when I got back to the ground after defeating Zaridias .

The two looked really worried, but when they saw me without a single wound, their expressions turned to confusion .

"Eh, didn't a really huge sword stab right through you . . . ?"

"Is it recovery magic? But your clothes are perfectly fine too . . . Was Mathi-kun being stabbed, an illusion?"

The two curiously checked my body as they said that .

My body is completely flawless right now .

"No, I did almost get killed by Zaridias for real . I'm fine now thanks to this sword though . "

In fact, I did get killed once, but I kept silent since they would worry about me if I said it .

Ruli was observing my body closely with a serious expression while listening .

And after she's absolutely sure that I'm fine--she hugs me .

"Mathi-kun, you're really alright!"

"Ah yeah, I thought I said so . . . "

. . . It's bad for my heart when she's this close, but I can't get away since the sword in my hand is blocking my attempt to .

If I let go of this sword, the mana there will lose its stopping place and go explode .

After the side benefit--I mean, an inevitable happening was over, Ruli who separated from me, asked .

" . . . So what is that sword anyway?"

"This is a magic sword that revives its user when they die, and grants them a vast amount of mana . I reckon the mana will last for another five minutes now . "

I point the sword sideward, and shoot out an attack magic with the mana at a nearby rock .

The girls look astounded and like they get it now after seeing the enormous mana .

"S-so that's how you did it . . . "

"But there's no way Mathi-kun could control such a huge amount of mana, couldn't you? Does it have a mana control unit installed too?"

"Naw, you can't fit a mana control unit that can manage this much mana in a sword, I'm doing the controlling myself . . . There's some knack in controlling a massive amount of mana indeed, but it's pretty easy to do once you're used to it, you know . "

This sword is probably unusable to the girls, but they would still need to be able to control a large quantity of mana to use other magic items and such .

I should teach them how to do it until the opportunity presents itself .

. . . Several knights ran up to us from the city while we were talking .

From the crest carved on their armor, they're a unit under direct orders of the king .

"Mathias-sama! Are you safe!"

<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . >

Looks like the king knew that I had defeated the demon .

Our fights with the demons should be seen from the capital after all .

"Yea, I'm fine . And there's no need to worry about the dragon . "

" . . . We're truly grateful to you for defeating the demon . "

Ruli asks the knights who bowed their heads at us .

"What happens to the demon inside the city?"

Now that she mentioned it, there was a demon inside the city .

I can't use mana detection right now due to the mana unleashed by the magic sword . . . How's it going I wonder .

"The Second Academy students are currently taking care of the demon's subjugation . According to principal Edward, there's no problem with it, the students should be able to defeat the demon!"

So the Second Academy is now strong enough to beat demons huh .

Seems like there's no need to worry about demons that slip past the barrier making a mess inside .

And now we can relax . . . or not . We can't .

The 『Chaotic Demons』 Zaridias uttered in his last moment .

Zaridias had already completely abandoned the idea of surviving when he said the words .

It didn't sound like he was pleading for life .

If these 『Chaotic Demons』 really exist and are as powerful as Zaridias, this world might really be on the brink of extinction .

Looks like our training in a peaceful world won't be happening anytime soon .

. . . . But that prospect too is interesting in itself .
