Chapter 322
It's a very simple magic that simply produces hands made of mana out of ground .
The strength of these hands depends on the user--and at the hands of a skilled user, the [Hand of Dragon Vein] boasts extremely dense form and high resistance against magic .
Due to its cast speed, and a wide range of applications, this is probably the most famous dragon vein magic in the past era .
I produced several more hands out of ground and restrained demon Giwald with them .
"You're severely mistaken if you think mere [Hands of Dragon Vein] can overpower me--"
Demon Giwald cast magic and twisted its body in an attempt to escape the restraint .
However, it's unable to break free from the [Hands of Dragon Vein] .
In the blink of an eye, [Hands of Dragon Vein] grabbed demon Giwald's entire body, not even giving it any chance to cast magic .
[Hand of Dragon Vein] is the most basic of Dragon Vein magic .
As such, it ties closely to the user's capability and experience .
Number, density, magic resistance, grip strength .
There's a world of difference between a veteran magic combatant's [Hand of Dragon Vein] to that of an intermediate mage .
Beginners can't even invoke this magic .
In other words, this is the most effective magic that makes use of my past life's experience .
I actually never used this magic much--but I'm glad I practiced on it a bit .
While I was thinking--demon Giwald had begun constructing an attack magic .
Looks like it's trying to launch a counteroffensive .
I need to cast attack magic in order to defeat demon Giwald .
This demon must be planning to launch that magic just right when I switch from [Hand of Dragon Vein] to attack magic .
That's never happening though .
"Now then . . . How many seconds will it last . "
I poured my mana into Dragon Vein as I murmured .
Then the spot where demon Giwald is--flares up .
--[Flame of Dragon Vein]
An attack magic that was as popular as [Hand of Dragon Vein] in the past .
Its effect is extremely simple .
The magic converts Dragon Vein's mana into flame to burn its target down .
"Madness! Simultaneous execution of dragon vein magic!? That's suicidal!"

Demon Giwald sounded confused within the restraint .
Dragon Vein's magic require a precise mana control .
Controlling two at once is difficult indeed .
But it's not something experience can't overcome .
Casting multiple magic that were far more difficult than these in parallel were pretty much everyday occurrences to the past me .
--It's quite burdensome on the magic circuits though .
"I wonder about that . "
I gradually increase the firepower while monitoring the load on my magic circuits .
Seeing that, demon Giwald--smirked .
" . . . If you're so eager to die, allow me the honor . "
Looks like demon Giwald has abandoned the idea of casting attack magic .
The demon halted its magic construction and began pouring its mana into Dragon Vein instead .
This is the exact opposite of what happened earlier .
I'm attacking through Dragon Vein, demon Giwald is trying to interfere with it .
The difference is demon Giwald only made use of Dragon Vein while I'm connected to Dragon Vein right now .
It's easier to control Dragon Vein when you're connected to it--but conversely, any lapse in control will instantly destroy your entire body's magic circuits, resulting in death .
And this demon must be trying to make that a reality .
However, my magic control is steadfast .
Heck, [Flame of Dragon Vein]'s firepower is steadily increasing even .
And then . . .
" . . . I see, so this is how . "
I finally got the knack for Dragon Vein magic after not using it for so long .
This will work .
I push a large quantity of mana into Dragon Vein all at once .
A moment later--[Flame of Dragon Vein] completely covered demon Giwald .
"T-this can't be . . . "
Demon Giwald muttered in confusion .
[Flame of Dragon Vein] is burning down the sturdy body of a high-class demon .
Even the solid build of demon cannot stand against this much thermal power .
--A while later .
Demon Giwald has fallen, leaving only a carbonized body on the ground .
" . . . That lasted longer than expected . "
After confirming demon Giwald's death, I was about to cut off my connection to Dragon Vein .
Right at that moment--I felt an enormous load on my magic circuits as I fell down on my knee with an intense pain .
"Guh . . . !?"
"Mathi-kun!?"
Ruli ran up to me when she saw me suddenly falling .
I analyzed the situation while repairing my magic circuits .
The overload was due to Dragon Vein .
Of course, I didn't make such a basic mistake as losing control right before severing the connection .
There was a vast amount of mana pushed into me from the Dragon Vein .
I considered the possibility of demon Giwald using up the last of its mana--but such a little amount wouldn't have been enough to make me lose control .
The cause must lie in another spot .
I probe inside the Dragon Vein with that in mind .
And--I found the culprit .
" . . . Why is that demon?"
I reflexively said that out loud .
The information I got from Dragon Vein was just that shocking .
--[Demon of Destruction] Zadokilgias .
Mana reaction from a demon who was feared as the worst even in the past era was mixed in Dragon Vein .
Don't tell me . . . This [Chaotic Demon] that was getting awakened refers to Zadokilgias .
If that's true then [Man-eating Blade] won't make a difference .
But there's no way that thing can be resurrected .
Even considering the power [Broken Star], it's just impossible .
After all, the past me had completely annihilated this [Demon of Destruction] Zadokilgias, leaving absolutely no trace of it behind .
