Chapter 164
『The 14th is ready!』
『Roger! If you see a weird reaction from the Dragon Vein, immediately activate it!』
I resumed my attack after Ruli reported she was done preparing .
This time I'm not attacking with a sword, but hitting fast by using magic on myself and on the ground .
" . . . Kuh!"
The demon evaded it while sounding irritated .
--He's acting .
In fact, I'm attacking in accordance to this demon's plan .
As a proof--there's a trap that the demon has prepared beforehand on my feet now .
Since it's installed inside the Dragon Vein, the trap is hard to find and powerful .
Of course, I step on it because I've predicted it .
And then the demon attempts to activate the trap on my feet just as I predicted .
If the demon activates the trap, Ruli's magic will nullify it and I'll hit the demon with the real attack during that chance .
However . . .
『Hold it, don't be lured by his trick! Defense magic!』
The demon got a message through magic right before he activated the trap .
Hearing that, without hesitation, the demon immediately stopped the activation and deployed defense magic .
. . . . I see .
Reading moves is the job of the demon giving the instructions huh .
『Lure, does that mean . . . He found out about the Dragon Vein magic?』
『No, I doubt he could find that skilfully hid spell art in the middle of this fight . . . . He must have guessed something because you were acting suspiciously . 』
I heard their conversation in the communication magic as I ceased attacking and jumped backward .
Looks like they haven't realized that I've detected the magic in the ground . . . The demon giving instructions seems to be well experienced in combat .
In fact, this demon did act suspiciously, thus even if I didn't directly find the trap, that was enough hint for the trap's existence .
『So the rumor that says Mathias Hildesheimr is the reincarnation of Gaias is true?』
『Impossible . The era is too far apart, and if he were really Gaias, you'd have long been dead, I'd have long been blown away by his magic too . 』
<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 . >
Such a rumor is circulating among the demons huh . . .
Well, the part about Gaias reincarnation is correct though .
. . . Still, does that means the demon that's giving orders here knows the past me . He's quite ancient if he really does .
Well, every demon that met the past me should have all perished after all, so it's probably something he heard from his fellow demons .
Either way, that demon is giving quite the accurate instructions, and it seems this demon here has been trained to follow those instructions .
However, that fact can also be used in itself .
Jamming their comm at the right moment will create an opening .
The comm magic that they use is a type that's easy to intercept yet hard to jam . . . But the magic I taught Ruli should be enough to block it for 10 seconds by disturbing the environment mana .
And 10 seconds are more than enough time .
『Ruli, prepare the 17th magic along with the 14th magic . Use the 14th when there's a change on the Dragon Vein, and the 17th when I tell you to!』
The 14th magic is for annulling the activation of the trap in the Dragon Vein .
And the 17th is a magic to disturb the environment mana, obstructing long range magic . . . especially comm magic and such .
Those magic have their own names but assigning numbers to them makes things easier in coordinations like this .
These two supports will help me smash the demon's defense magic .
And a few seconds later .
『It's ready!』
Ruli contacted me .
Now then . . . Let's break apart this anti Disqualified Crest magic plan .
