Chapter 275: Final Flash

I had the opportunity of interacting with Arcanas before.

While I didn’t have any Magic back then—since I was Inept—I was able to understand the fundamental structure and code associated with the items.

Of course, it was only surface-level knowledge.

What I researched was not the Magic in the Arcanas, but the items themselves. The ones I saw had the form of cards, and they had vein-like circuits embedded in them.

It was a mystery how such small things could hold phenomenal powers, so I gave myself to research.

I wasn’t able to complete the project, but it was enough to figure out the fundamental rule of storing Magic in these items.

When I started attending Ainzlark, and then found the Oasis, I figured it would be good to try something like that—as a last resort.

And so, I pumped lots of Mana into the thing, reinforced it by condensing the materials used to manufacture the item, and made a gradual assimilation process.

If I was too fast, the project would fail.

That was why I had to be patient… until it was complete.

Unfortunately, Kahn attacked before I was able to finalize the project, so I couldn’t use it. However, now that it was complete… I could use whatever Spell I had embedded into it through the codes and circuits within.

For this particular card, there were three codes.

One was the barrier that currently surrounded Legris Damien.

“To think… you duplicated an Arcana… you…” Legris was grinning like a maniac now.

“Now my interest has just skyrocketed! What kind of person are you? In just twelve years of life!!!”

I wasn’t anything special.

If I didn’t have my friends and family guiding me along the way, I wouldn’t have gone very far—especially in my past life.

The reason I so vehemently researched the Arcanas was simple. These were devices with phenomenal Magic stored within them—the Ultimate Items!

If I could understand the concept and workings of the Arcanas, and make the Mana supply self-sufficient and independent of its user, then… even an Inept would be able to use Magic!

That was my driving force—my goal.

Unfortunately, I never arrived at the end of it in my past life.

Even now, without my ability to use Magic, I wouldn’t have come this far. However… I finally achieved this—this device in my hands.

“All the Mana and Spell circuits are already embedded within. In essence, all I have to do is activate it… and then… it works.”

In essence, even an Inept could use this!

‘With this device, I have surpassed my past self—in a sense!’

“What kind of Magic will you use? Is it the same as what you used against Kahn? A Peak-Level Magic Spell? Hahaha! Did you think I wouldn’t have prepared for something of that caliber?”

As Legris Damien laughed, I also smiled.

It was true that he could have prepared for my best move against Kahn, but… I didn’t plan on being so cheap.

“[Grand Blitz] was a technique I used because Kahn was a Shadow Demon…” I retorted.

It was only common sense that I would utilize the most efficient Spell while considering my enemy.

“What I have prepared for you is a little different…”

No matter the human—no matter the power—there was a weakness we all shared… our mortal bodies.

“Did you know that the human body is made up of 70 percent water? Also, tiny particles of water exist all around us. We call it moisture…”

I knew it was best to end things quickly, but… I was curious.

‘What kind of expression will you make?’

“GUARRRKKKKK!!!”

Suddenly, Legris Damien collapsed on his knees and coughed out blood.

His bloodshot eyes were confused, and his quivering body begged for answers. The man was experiencing a symptom he must have known quite well.

“M—mana… Shock…?!”

I nodded.

“… Hehehe… H—how..?”

‘There’s no merit in telling you, but…’

“Consider this a reward for telling me so much intel. The last time, I used a Mana Shock Inducing solution in the form of a liquid substance. But now…”

It was gaseous!

The poison was all around Legris—like moisture wafting in the air.

“Sly bastard… Keke… so, I was played… uh…?”

“Don’t pretend. You must have figured out a way to deal with Mana Shock already. That’s not how I plan on killing you. Still, it’s a good way to weaken your body.”

Legris Damien had layers of magical defense on him.

While I was sure that my Spell was very powerful, I needed to be a hundred percent certain that it would completely kill him. To achieve that end, I first induced Mana Shock to get rid of all his defenses—at least, until he recovered.

“Now that you’re down… let’s start phase three… my Spell!”

The main treat for today—and a personal favorite of mine…

BRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM!!!

… LIGHTNING!

RUUUUUMMMMBLLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!

“Are you not curious as to why I made the pillars ascend to the sky? It was all for this…”

Pure, unbridled energy!

This was my parting gift to Legris Damien.

This Spell had a greater destructive capability compared to , though they were both in the same Peak category.

There was no doubt that the energy output was enough to destroy the whole Academy—unless perhaps Neron protected it.

The storm clouds in the sky converged on a single spot… and for a moment—the rumblings ceased.

“I’ve been thinking of a name for this Spell…”

The final Spell within my Card activated, and a second barrier covered Legris Damien. Its scale was a bit wider than the first one, and it was also incomparably stronger.

‘If I used this first, he might have gotten wary concerning the Spell I was using and tried something dramatic before the Mana Shock afflicted him…’

With all three Spells exhausted, my card’s glow died down… and turned into dust.

‘It’s not very durable, unlike the real thing. This is another flaw I need to work on…’

With my card out of the war, I put both hands in my pocket and enjoyed the show.

“… [Final Flash]…”
