hapter 338 Strongest Sage, Let Heal
The ray of light accelerated to several hundreds kilometer per hour and caught up to Zadokilgias a moment later, penetrating the demon--and proceeded to evaporate clouds few kilometers in the sky above .
It's a spell cast by absorbing about 10% of the enormous mana the [Dragon Breath] carried . This much power is only to be expected .
"Did that without rehearsal . . . but that went well huh . "
I cut off my connection to Dragon Veins as I murmured .
Short as it might, establishing a connection to Dragon Veins stirred by the vast mana of [Dragon's Breath] took quite a toll on my magic circuits .
The end result was worth it though .
"There it fell . "
Zadokilgias who ate a direct hit of the ray fell off the sky .
It's lost both its arms, one of its wing is burning, its side has been greatly gouged out .
It doesn't have the power left to fly--but it survived .
Not dying from an attack that blew even clouds apart, quite something indeed .
It must have changed its posture during the less than 0 . 01 second it took for the ray to be invoked and avoided direct hit on vital parts .
As I was thinking that--Zadokilgias invoked a spell .
--[Enforced Restoration - Mana Converging Type]
Amongst all recovery magic there is, it's the spell most suited to heal severe wounds .
Unlike ordinary recovery spells, this magic strengthens the rate of recovery by taking in mana in the surroundings as a component
Since the area around here is filled with a vast amount of mana, vestiges of Iris's [Dragon Breath], the spell's recovery power is also many times more potent .
How it managed to make a split second decision to pick the optimal magic even in its terrible state, this demon is really adept at fighting .
But of course I'm not going to stay silent as Zadokilgias is healing itself .
Since Zadokilgias flew vertically straight above and then fell, its landing spot is right next to me .
I was going to head to that spot as I stepped on barrier magic .
However . . .

" . . . Still got that much power left huh . . . "
I murmured as I stared at the scene unfolding before me .
Countless magical barrier have been deployed in all possible directions I could take to get close .
It's a ploy to buy time no matter how you look at it .
Those barriers themselves aren't that sturdy--but proceeding through them would take time .
Zadokilgias would have finished restoring its body in the meantime .
Iris's [Dragon Breath] is our trump card .
This fight will get a lot harder if it manages to overcome this situation .
And . . . Zadokilgias intends to cut its way through this situation .
Zadokilgias is currently deploying multiple barrier magic in addition to [Enforced Restoration - Mana Converging Type] . A difficult feat even in its normal state .
It's obvious why Zadokilgias deployed this degree of magic even after taking that much damage .
It had anticipated this situation the moment I cast my magic and took extra care so the body parts needed to cast magic were left unharmed .
It must have sacrificed its right arm with the intention to restore it back later .
I broke through the magical barriers picking the shortest route toward Zadokilgias while thinking that .
However Zadokilgias would deploy additional barriers every time I destroyed one .
And while I was occupied in that--Zadokilgias's recovery rate saw a sudden rapid increase .
It's reached the spot with a thick concentration of [Dragon Breath]'s mana .
The wound on its side gets restored in the blink of an eye, its lost arms are gradually forming back .
And then--Zadokilgias suddenly stopped the invocation of [Enforced Restoration - Mana Converging Type] .
" . . . Hum?"
As Zadokilgias blurted in puzzlement, it turned its line of sight at its recovering right arm .
Looks like it had noticed something wrong as the recovery spell worked its magic .
Afterward, Zadokilgias surveyed the surrounding area--its eyes found broken magic stones on top of faraway roofs .
There are broken pieces of magic stones on top of roofs all over the place here .
Broken arrows could be found near those magic stones .
(Figured it would notice . )
The oddness Zadokilgias sensed is no mere imagination .
Zadokilgias has absorbed mana infused with a trick due to [Enforced Restoration - Mana Converging Type] .
『How is it going?』
Ruli contacted me through comm magic .
That's right .
Those broken magic stones on roofs were made by Ruli delivered there on arrows Alma shot .
The magic stones put on those arrows had been augmented with a specific magic that would break the magic stones once the arrows landed and disperse altered mana in the surroundings .
Alma and Ruli hadn't directly participated in this fight not because I didn't count them .
It was done on purpose so Zadokilgias wouldn't notice them, all for the sake of this point .
『Perfect! You did great!』
I proceeded through the barriers as I responded to Alma .
Zadokilgias has indeed realized the girls' trick .
But it's far too late .
The distance between me and Zadokilgias is virtually nil now .
Those barriers would buy at most 10 seconds of time .
Even Zadokilgias can't deal with me with both its arms missing .
Its moves are limited with its arms gone, only death awaits this demon as it can't block my magic and sword .
And--Zadokilgias only has one option left to restore its arms .
[Enforced Restoration - Mana Converging Type] .
Even if there's something wrong with it, even if it knows that it's a trap, Zadokilgias has no other choice but to use that .
The demon itself appears to be fully aware of that .
Zadokilgias invoked [Enforced Restoration - Mana Converging Type] it once suspended at maximum output, and took in a huge amount of mana to fully restore its arms .
