Chapter 335 Strongest Sage, Deploys Personal Spell
" . . . 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 .
