Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 311

198. This Is How You Deal with Demons

He is a demon.

To be precise, he’s a demon who has lived as a human.

More precisely, he’s a demon who lived as a human, hiding in silence for long years until he caught an opportunity to regain his power.

‘It was almost the end….’

A very long time ago.

When the demons invaded the continent.

The demons were defeated, but not all the surviving demons could escape from this place.

Some demons couldn’t return for various reasons, and most of those remnants were hunted down and met their deaths.

But a very small number, an extremely few, survived and continued living.

In human form, to avoid unnecessarily consuming power and to endure longer.

‘Our purpose is one.’

To regain great power and return to the world of demons.

Of course, they had been gathering power little by little.

The power he tried to unleash earlier after returning to demon form was exactly that.

‘It was just a little at a time over very long years.’

Scraping together small amounts of demonic energy that hadn’t been recovered or reached while wandering the continent.

Even that alone was tremendous power, but it wasn’t enough.

So… he finally came here after hearing that an enormous amount of demonic energy was sleeping in this place….

“What the hell is that fellow….”

That guy ruined everything.

What the hell is that damn bastard?

He suddenly appeared and knocked out all of them who were suppressing their power in human form.

Then he brought himself to the inside of the ruins and even cut through that thick iron door flowing with powerful mana.

Even more….

He instantly subdued himself, who had regained the most power among the surviving demons.

Using a method he’d never heard or seen before.

“Cough.”

His whole body is in tatters.

He can’t move a finger, and he’s even bound with strange tools.

Even in the midst of all this, what’s absurd is….

“How are those guys fighting against golems….”

Because the group including that damn bastard was fighting golems right now.

And quite easily at that.

Bang, crash!

The golems belong to Arcana.

Objects and beings created by Arcana in the past.

Some demon had corrupted them, and as a result of long years passing, they had become worth coveting.

Of course they’re strong.

They were already strong, but became even stronger with demonic energy.

But….

Why are they fighting so well?

“Stop there! Good! Launching!”

“Fire it!”

“Now, roll! Dodged it!”

“Professors, their heads are the weak point!”

They chatter well with each other and fight well too.

They’re even handling them decently.

Those mini golems aren’t at an extremely high level, but they’re not something young fellows like that should be able to handle….

‘What sin did we commit?’

It’s unfair.

It was just one step away.

Just one more step and it would have been complete, so why?

All that was left was to subdue those golems with demonic energy, then take the power of that core and soar!

What’s truly unfair is something else.

“Why does it have to be… such a fellow….”

Right now, that damn bastard with silver hair fighting one-on-one against the golem’s main body.

He seemed to be called ‘Dane.’

The golem that even current-level demons couldn’t handle, so they planned to subdue it with special methods before taking its power.

[Lower body damage detected. Permanent damage suspected.]

[Upper body mana connection points lost. Self-repair impossible.]

That golem was being pushed back.

And quite miserably at that.

It’s not an existence that should be pushed back by at least one ‘person,’ but this isn’t even a fight between a child and an adult.

Slash!

What is that green sword that cuts through the golem’s body like butter?

Thud, crash!

Movement that dodges all the golem’s attacks, which could be considered fast enough.

Boom!

And the golem’s movements are blocked as if there are walls in the void.

Whoosh!

But what surpasses all of this is… the existence of the ‘dragon.’

“There was… a dragon remaining?”

Beings from beyond the horizon.

By now, they should have all crossed beyond the horizon with not a single one remaining.

No, that’s not what’s important.

He knows.

What kind of creature a dragon is.

The flames that melt and burn everything they touch—

[Ultra-high temperature detected. Ultra-high temperature detected. Repair resumption impossible.]

Even melt rock.

Just like right now.

“Screech!”

That’s not the problem.

In fact, the very fact that a dragon is together with humans is the problem.

Why would a creature that is noble and more proud than any other creature in the world, a creature that could be called legend itself, be together with people?

No, before that.

Is that small fellow really a dragon?

He didn’t have time to harbor more doubts.

“What is that?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen that technique.”

“Did he… coat the spear with Karnas flames?”

The spear Dane summoned, that is, the spear created from materialized mana, was covered with flames.

Whoooosh!

Intense flames that seemed ready to burn everything they touched.

When Dane flicked his hand, it tore through the air at tremendous speed—

Shriek!

Whoooosh!

The spear that flew leaving a trail of flames embedded itself in the golem’s body and erupted in massive flames.

“The rock is… melting?”

“I’ve never seen stone melt before…”

Ultra-high temperature flames generated from the mana possessed by dragons.

But what was fundamentally different was that these flames ‘distinguished’ between friend and foe.

The heat only affected targets it intended to melt, destroy, and burn.

The proof was that no one here felt even the slightest warmth, let alone heat.

“As expected of Dane.”

It was when Leila said that.

[Serious damage detected. Automatic defense system activating.]

Despite being shattered and burning, something was trying to emerge from the golem.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Intense vibrations.

And the core in the center of its chest was pulsating.

A clearly threatening situation.

‘Damn it. This final struggle…’

The demon fellow who had been watching widened his eyes.

And despite being restrained, his desperate struggling was proof that something extremely dangerous was about to happen.

But then.

“I guess I’ll use this here.”

Dane pulled something from his chest and immediately threw it toward the golem—

Crack!

Something unbelievable happened.

The space around where the orb exploded froze solid.

It was the spatial freeze orb he had received from Professor Cross, that is, Saul Hanston.

Meanwhile, Dane’s swift rearrangement continued.

“Block and protect.”

First, he instantly set up three layers of mana barriers, then created new barriers through mana manifestation.

The moment this unprecedented defensive wall was installed in multiple layers to block any impact.

Crack!

The spatial freeze shattered.

Boom!

A massive explosion occurred.

But that was all.

The explosion destroyed the three mana barriers but was blocked by the final defense wall, the barrier created through mana manifestation.

Crack.

Though it cracked, that was it.

The final struggle had ended futilely.

“Wh-what was that just now…?”

“What was it…?”

Whatever it was, his friends realized just one fact.

That Dane had just saved everyone’s lives here.

[Damage irreparable. Ceasing operation.]

Crash! Thud!

And finally—

Thud!

With both arms melted away without a trace, half its torso gone, and holes blown throughout its body, the golem collapsed and the battle ended.

An Arcana golem.

A team composed only of Academy undergraduates had achieved victory against such an absurd existence.

“It’s over!”

“Wow, we won!”

Cheers erupted.

It was certainly an impossible feat.

Thud!

Meanwhile, the mini golems crumbled one after another, returning to their original rock fragments.

As if nothing had ever happened.

Even the demonic energy in the space where the golem had been rampaging disappeared completely.

“Hehehe. Now it’s time to make this my world.”

In this situation, there was one fellow who couldn’t read the mood.

One necromancer who couldn’t grasp the situation, perhaps because it had been too long since he came out into the world.

Thanks to this, Dane’s group didn’t get scared but all tilted their heads in confusion.

“What is that thing saying?”

“I don’t know. Is it saying it won’t come out of Jenna’s body?”

“Would it come out if we hit its head?”

“Priscilla, what would happen to Jenna if we covered that state with divine power?”

“I don’t know, should we try?”

The necromancer that had descended using Jenna’s body finally tucked its tail.

A shrill voice emerged from among the scattering skeleton legions.

“N-necromancer isn’t quite right, is it? Right? Right? As expected, summoning souls like this…”

Jenna, who had returned, was flustered and didn’t know what to do.

Anyway, the battle was over.

“Now it’s that guy’s turn?”

And everyone’s gaze was directed this way.

Something that hadn’t been fully settled yet.

He felt it.

Today would probably be a very long day.

The fellow’s name was Graco.

Being a demon, his name was strange. I’d have to investigate more to see if this was also a lie.

“Your purpose was this core?”

“That’s… right.”

Your words are a bit short.”

“That’s correct.”

The guy was docile.

Of course, that didn’t mean I trusted this fellow.

I never trusted him from the beginning anyway.

“So what? Was all that about being a black mage nonsense?”

“…”

“Answer.”

“I’m sorry for deceiving you…”

The fellow in miserable condition hung his head.

It’s truly fascinating when I think about it.

If it were human, it would have died several times over from those wounds, yet it not only survived but its injuries were healing too.

This kind of fellow—what if it had obtained that golem’s core?

I don’t know for sure, but it probably would have become considerably powerful.

By the way, Priscilla is currently purifying the golem’s core.

“But some of it is true! The black mages actually… weren’t casting black magic of their own will.”

Well, that’s quite welcome news.

Though it’s a bit laughable hearing it from this guy’s mouth.

“So?”

“Through our brainwashing…”

“Then you used that in your lies. Dressed it up plausibly.”

“…”

But whether the black mages were brainwashed into becoming that way, or were brainwashed contrary to this guy’s words, it’s not an important fact.

“You’re demons, and what were you planning to do after recovering your strength with this?”

“…”

“You’ll regret it if you don’t answer.”

“We were trying to return! To the place where we lived…”

The man hung his head low.

Of course, I can’t believe it.

Given the situation, he’s saying they’d return, but for all I know, they could be planning to summon other demons instead.

It doesn’t matter anyway.

Whatever these guys’ intentions, now that they’re confirmed to be demons, what needs to be done is clear.

“Priscilla, how long do you think the purification will take?”

“There’s quite a lot of demonic energy. It’ll probably take a full half day.”

“Good. Then I’ll step out for a bit.”

I thought of the remaining demon fellows that Benatio might have dealt with by now.

Perhaps he might have fallen to the demons instead.

If all those guys are at the same level as this Graco fellow, it would obviously become a dangerous situation.

“Ernest. I’m counting on you with this guy. I’ve put restraints on him and Priscilla’s here too, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Karnas. Just in case, could you stay and help out?”

“Kireuk!”

With the other guys being who they are, plus Karnas who has a definitive finishing move, I can feel completely at ease.

“Leave it to me.”

“Leila, let’s go.”

Still, he did let me eat that delicious tart, so I should repay the favor, shouldn’t I?
