Chapter 321
"His mana reading is still intact . . . What does this mean?"
Few seconds since the magic was cast .
It was demon Giwald who threw that question .
"It means I'm alive of course . "
The mana-made needles disappeared as I said that .
Demon Giwald sounded perplexed when it saw me .
"You're unharmed!? You . . . couldn't possibly have blocked those needles, could you!?"
"Yea . . . I mean I blocked your other attack magic . Why couldn't I mere needles . "
I check the surrounding mana while replying to the demon .
--Giruas's mana reaction is coming closer .
Looks like we're nearly done buying time here .
"No . . . You did not block those needles . They moved like they intentionally missed the spot you were at--"
There's absolutely no damage around it .
Even though all other spots have needles completely burying them .
"I see . . . No wonder you're trying to take [Dragon Vein Sword] . "
Looks like the demon has realized the real reason of the needles missing me .
I was controlling Dragon Vein .
Unlike human's magic circuit, controlling Dragon Vein externally is a simple task .
You can attack through Dragon Vein thanks to that . . . And conversely, you can defend against those attacks yourself .
Right before the demon invoked its magic, I interfered with the Dragon Vein below me and slightly altered the manifestation range of those needles .
As a result, the area around me turned into a safe zone .
"However . . . A mage of your caliber must have realized by now . You have no chance of victory . "
Demon Giwald looked surprised for a moment before regaining its composure .
Apparently this demon found out that I had no means to defeat it .
Though that's going to change very soon .
" . . . Good work . "

Right after I said that .
The wall next to me broke apart--as a huge lump of metal showed up through the hole .
It's the thing I've been waiting for .
--[Coffin of Sealing] .
Giruas carried it and threw it to where I was .
"What the crap's up with that shitty thing's weight! Anyone else woulda been crushed to death by that!"
I could hear Giruas beyond the broken wall .
Giruas has done his role well .
"I see . You were waiting for that . . . But what are you planning to do with that box? What use is a locked box, no better than a blunt instrument indeed . "
Demon Giwald sneered when it saw me touching the coffin .
I don't have the [Key] to the [Coffin of Sealing] indeed .
And [Coffin of Sealing] is practically indestructible .
However-- .
"You do it like this . "
I pour my mana into the coffin .
Not ordinary mana of course .
But mana with a special pattern .
Then--the [Coffin of Sealing] came undone with a dull sound .
The pattern was correct .
"Wha . . . "
Demon Giwald opened its eyes wide in surprise to see the [Coffin of Sealing] opening .
It must have never occurred in its mind .
But of course it would open .
The magic put in this [Coffin of Sealing] originated from something I developed myself .
Why wouldn't the designer of a lock know how to open it .
"You . . . Just who are you?"
Demon Giwald asked in blank amazement as I took the [Man-eating Blade] in my hand .
I won't answer that .
Instead, I activate [Man-eating Blade] and establish a connection between my magic circuits and the Dragon Vein .
I feel an enormous load on my magic circuits along with the peculiar sensation from getting connected to Dragon Vein .
But the me right now can bear it .
"Iris, get back . "
"Got it!"
Iris retreated back .
Demon Giwald tried to hinder her--but a hand appearing out of ground blocked the magic the demon shot .
"That's . . . [Hand of Dragon Vein]!"
. . . It knew this magic huh .
Demon Giwald is indeed correct, right now I'm using a magic called [Hand of Dragon Vein] .
