Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 447 - Episode Ninety-Three - Red Dream (11)

I was running across the ocean in a single-minded effort.

Each time I ran, it became more and more painful.

The magic power was wearing off to the point where it was difficult to maintain the physical enhancement.

How …… many more seconds will I be able to maintain my enhanced physical abilities.

Is there really any chance of victory beyond this action?

No, there was no point in thinking about it.

Use that energy to run forward.

There’s no way we can devise another plan now anyway.

I continue to evade Silfheim’s lightning strikes at the last second.

It’s easy to complicate my movements and the target is smaller than the wooden dragon …… but even so, the fact that I’ve been able to avoid so many is just luck.

If I’m hit by any of them, I’ll die instantly.

“I respect your stubbornness not to give up rather than disdain you. I’m sure there will never be another human who has pushed me as hard as this one.”

Silfheim’s thought wave arrived.

Immediately after, my body was blown forward without any warning.

“No way, this is ……!”

I don’t know how many tens of meters …… or even hundreds of meters I was blown away.

I was slammed into the water and had to jump three times.

If the body had not been strengthened with magic power, it would have died in pieces.

But …… finally, now my magic power is almost reaching its limits.

I can’t run any longer.

This is the end of my bad legwork.

My arms trembling.

My body is cold.

My head feels dizzy.

The world continues to be distorted and unstable as ever.

“I see …… so the power of the “Red Dream” forcibly generated a giant tornado in no time, huh.”

I pondered the current situation.

That was all I could do at the moment.

I had been blown away for longer than I thought, and Silfheim was chasing me from behind.

Silfheim’s figure wavered and disappeared, and before I knew it, he had moved around in front of me.

“This is really the end. Oh, don’t worry. Your game of tag was not worth it …… This place is within the range of my magic from earlier. In other words, it’s still impossible to use magic in this place.”

“…………”

“This is where you end up, with no room for any miracles …… Although, it wouldn’t have made any difference if we’d stayed out of range.”

In the distance behind where the Silfheim floated, I could see the end of the sea and the spread of land.

“…… Ohhh, I made it in time.”

“Are you hallucinating now? Poor guy.”

I put my hands in my pockets, clinging to them.

…… Thank God, it was still there.

I took out a small Ortem-shaped magic tool that was in my pocket.

It’s a combination of magic crystal and magic ore.

In addition to the rare magic ores, there are artificial magic stones that have been forcibly crystallized with a special wavelength of magic power.

“Silfheim …… “Red Dream” has a fatal weakness.”

“What is it? Do you want me to let you go in exchange for your assistance?”

Silfheim laughs.

Even with that, I’m sure he’s not going to accept such a proposal.

Silfheim would not have a hypothetical enemy that would require him to strengthen the “Red Dream”.

“The “Red Dream” in your chest is no doubt pseudo-linked to something that could be considered a god. But it is not itself. That’s probably why. When the “Red Dream” takes damage, there is an error of exactly five seconds before it affects the world.”

There is no doubt about this.

Whenever Levi’s spear pierced into the “Red Dream”, there was a delay of exactly five seconds before the world was shaken.

I’ve tested it many times, and I can’t think of any other possibility in light of what the Silfheim have said and done.

“What are you trying to say?”

I hold up the magic tool in the form of an Ortem to Silfheim.

“If I destroy your “Red Dream” in an instant and wipe it out before the link becomes functional, then only you will die!”

I pour all of my remaining magic power into the Ortem-type magic tool.

“Idiot! My durability surpasses even that of Kudor. Blow me away with a single blow? There is no such thing as an attack with such power. You have no magic, and your magic is gone, what can you do with such a tiny piece of magic tool!.”

The high-pitched laughter of Silfheim echoed throughout the area.

“Go! Abel Cannon!”

Immediately afterward, far behind Silfheim, from the direction of the land, in a straight line, came flying what looked like an extremely thick, iridescent mass of light.

I’m not sure that “flying” is the right word.

It is more accurate to say that it expanded a pseudo-five-dimensional space in the shape of a beam, instantly flipped everything within its range into horsesh*t, and then blew them away to some other world.

If space is compared to a piece of paper, it is like a picture that is momentarily folded from another dimension to ruin it.

To put it simply, it completely erases the space in a straight line.

In any case, Silfheim was caught in it, and his torso, including his chest, was gouged clean out.

In simple terms, it completely obliterates the space in a straight line.

As a by-product of the Red Dream, the distorted world was restored to its original state.

Hmm …… There was always the possibility that the world would blow up in five seconds, but I guess I won the bet.

I knew I had a better chance.

“Im-, possible …… this is ……!”

“This is a magic weapon that I installed in the magic wave tower just for fun. And this is the switch.”

This switch has a simple function of turning the received magic power into a magic wave with a special wavelength and sending it over a wide area.

The reason for using rare magic ores and labor-intensive artificial magic stones is just a lock to prevent a third party from hacking the magic wave tower and operating it maliciously.

There are no spirits involved in this mechanism, and it is completely based on magic ore and magic power.

Therefore, Silfheim’s magic cannot interfere with this switch.

And Silfheim’s magic can only stop magic that is triggered within its area of effect.

There is no way it can interfere with a magic wave tower attack that is shot from outside the magic range.

From the beginning, I had been fighting while gaining distance from Silfheim just to use the magic wave tower.

The magic wave tower is designed to automatically aim at the being with the highest magic power within its range.

Originally, it was a device that was built in order to be able to fire the Abel Cannon in no time at all, without having to spend time and effort preparing the sights when confronting Kudor.

This is why I didn’t bother to put any extra mechanisms on this switch that relied on spirits, but it came in handy in an unexpected way.

However, the range of the Abel Cannon is limited to the vicinity of the Dinrat Kingdom at most.

There are many problems, but the main reason is that if the target is outside of this range, it cannot be targeted.

And the firing order from this switch would reach within that range at most.

Since I had left the Dinrat Kingdom, I had to come all the way back here to buy time to activate it.

The reason why I had sealed off Levi’s spear, which had poor magic fuel efficiency while Kudor was around, was so that I could effectively gain distance by letting him be the main opponent of Silfheim.

I don’t fight battles I can’t win.

I’ll bow to Silfheim, if it’s more likely to save me and Mea, I’m sorry to Kudor but that’s what I’ll do.

The reason I kept running away was because I knew the odds were against me.

The scattered remnants of Silfheim melted and became smaller.

One of them formed the outline of Count Julem.

It seems that the gravity of the Moon Din alone was not enough to merge the two, and the shape was still there.

“Impos-, sible …… I’m sure I’ve had plenty of prior confirmation that it’s unfinished …… And first of all, if there was such a thing, you should not have left the Dinrat kingdom ……”

“It was unfinished. It was a 50/50 decision whether to blow you up or blow up the whole world, you know. In order to complete it, we had to run a number of detailed tests to make sure it was safe.”

There was a possibility that the world would be wiped out by the “Red Dream”, but there was also a good chance that the world would be wiped out by the Abel Cannon going out of control.

It was very, very hard to rely on it for action.

“So I wasn’t planning to use it, but …… it’s not a bad gamble when you get this far, right? I had no other choice, after all.”

“W-What, did you say ……?”

I’ve got the key to activate it in a moveable state.

But I haven’t told anyone that I’ve put it in a position to move it.

The only thing I told them was that it was incomplete.

I knew that if they found out, Lark would kick me out of the territory, Peter would send an assassination squad, and Kudor would destroy the magic wave tower.

Since I was the only one who could know the details of the progress, I put up a cover story and kept quiet about the rest.

I didn’t expect to catch Silfheim with it, though.

If he had known, he would not have been so foolish as to chase me all the way to the Dinrat Kingdom.

“I had “Red Dream” that gave me the power of the gods and it took me 10,000 years to fight Kudor, but this is not how it’s supposed to be ……”

“I see, I’m sorry to hear that.”

Count Julem’s face went blank for a moment.

After that, he tried to grab me with a rage that reminded me of an Asura statue, but it sank to the surface and its contours became distorted and eventually dissolved into the seawater.

There was nothing left to do, it seemed.

At last, Count Julem’s …… no, the Sky God Silfheim’s plan was completely destroyed.

“…… When I go, this probably won’t end at just scolding.”

I was laughing and looking towards the Dinrat Kingdom where the Abel Cannon was fired.
