Chapter 324
"Do you know what kind of demon is it, Mathi-kun?"
"Yeah . . . Its body's power level itself isn't any different than an ordinary demon . "
I replied to Ruli .
From the mana flowing in Dragon Vein, I've hazarded a guess that the reincarnated body [Demon of Destruction] Zadokilgias possesses is no different than an ordinary demon in term of basic capabilities like stamina and mana .
That's exactly the reason why it didn't take long for its awakening .
Other demons were predicting it would get awakened in a month time . . . But the weaker a demon is, the less time is needed for its revival .
"Eh? Ordinary demon . . . You mean like the demons that raided Second Academy?"
"Yeah . Your run-of-the-mill ordinary demon like the 10 or so demons we defeated back then . "
There was this time when around 10 or so demons raided Second Academy, I took care of them all by myself--the body Zadokilgias has now is most likely around the same level as those demons .
They've still got far higher mana and stamina even compared to us now though .
"Doesn't sound like it's any more dangerous than an ordinary demon then . . . Was it really worth the effort awakening it, I mean . . . from the written information we got, shouldn't it have been stronger than Zaridias . . . ?"
"Oh oh, I can probably beat that demon up by myself then!"
The girls looked disenchanted when they heard me .
True, if we only look at it from demon body's inherent power . . . We have defeated many demons far stronger than reincarnated Zadokilgias so far .
However . . .
"Nah . If we, say, pit this newly awakened demon against Zaridias, this demon would most likely come out victorious . "

""EH!?""
The girls looked surprised when I said that .
Zaridias was a [Chaotic Demon] that got awakened from its seal .
I couldn't manage to defeat it with only my mana and had to resort to using an extremely valuable and disposable weapon [Sword of Revival] and even died once before I succeeded killing it .
However . . . Reincarnated Zadokilgias would most likely win against Zaridias without relying on a weapon .
It's partly due to an issue with compatibilities but mostly due the difference in pure strength .
"By Zaridias . . . You mean that Zaridias?"
" . . . Can an ordinary demon really win against that?"
"Yeah . Undoubtedly . "
Reincarnated Zadokilgias is at an ordinary demon's level, speaking only its body's power level .
But that's not what's terrifying about Zadokilgias the [Demon of Destruction] .
"Its mana quantity and quality . . . may be far inferior to Zaridias in pure output . However, the mana that mixed in Dragon Vein contained a trace amount of control finesse in it . "
" . . . Control finesse . . . ?"
"Yeah . A quality that determines how precise one can control mana . . . In other word, magic skill . "
"Mana quantity that's inferior to Zaridias, but more masterful skill-wise . . . Doesn't that sound like Mathi-kun?"
"Exactly that . . . I defeated all the demons so far due to the gap in skills and combat tactics . But the demon this time is on a whole other dimension than your average demon in those regards . "
The reason why we prevailed against all demons we had encountered so far was due to our understanding in combat methods and techniques .
However . . . Zadokilgias is an especially masterful one even amongst demons .
This was true in the past .
In an olden era where the past me lived, Zadokilgias was once feared as the worst demon .
But even the Zadokilgias at the time was not a demon with a particularly strong power or anything .
The demon simply boasted superior combat skills .
In my past life . . . during my youth, Zadokilgias also got caught in the Demon Detection Network .
Zadokilgias at the time had an average quantity of mana for a demon . . . or rather, it was lower than the average even .
But humanity already had a full understanding on the danger of demons, and magic combatants at the time formed a steadfast subjugation unit before they went on a campaign to exterminate it .
Demon subjugation forces at the time were outstanding .
A unit could easily defeat several of the most feared demons in this era with zero casualty .
Casualties were very rare unless they were up against a very high-ranking demon . . . such was common knowledge to the people at the time .
That subjugation unit was annihilated in five minutes flat .
Despite having six members each capable of killing an average demon solo .
Countries suspected that they were caught in a trap .
And then they sent out another unit consisting of 30 magic combatants, and pros in magical traps .
That unit faced a total annihilation as well .
Past countries were quick to move .
They designated Zadokilgias, which only had an average amount of mana, as a dangerous being at the same level of the most powerful superlative demons, and sent experts in fighting superlative demons .
And they too met the same fate as their predecessors .
It was an absolute nightmare to those countries .
However, it was not like Zadokilgias was a bearer of mana that exceeded superlative demons .
This demon was simply good at fighting .
