Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita

When me and Zadkirgias fought in my previous life, I was still young.

In pure combat technology, Zadkirgias was still so much better up there.

For that reason, fighting normally from the front, it was difficult to win.

That's where we developed this resonant sword.

All my magic is averted, and all my swords are taken.

But Zadkirgias' body, which accepts my sword, is not that sturdy in itself.

That's why the 'resonant sword', which can break your body by daring you to take the sword, was very effective.

The 'Resonant Sword', so to speak, is a magic specializing in killing demonic tribes that specialize in moves, like Zadkirgias.

"... I didn't expect to meet anyone who uses that magic in today's world"

That's what Zadkirgias says, confronting me in a way that's a little further away than I was earlier.

Theory is the one who takes the distance to the disqualified target.

Magic combat at a distance is the optimal solution, especially as Zadkirgias, who wants to avoid slashing each other because of the 'resonant sword'.

But that's what I'm talking about if it wasn't for Illis.

Distance away from me also means that Illis is more likely to attack.

'Away! You're doing it!

Seeing the distance between me and Zadkirgias, Iris shook his nails down.

The only reason I was packed a distance earlier was because Illis forced Zadkirgias to jump.

So let's do it again.

Zadkirgias, in contrast, avoided by pre-empting junctional magic in the air and using it as a scaffold.

There's more distance than there was earlier, so that's why we'll make it.

But - still, at the moment of unfolding the magic of the junction, a slight gap can be made.

It's not a matter of technology, it's a matter of simple magic output.

It's not a level gap where you can hit an attack - but you can pack enough distance.

Using that gap, I create a situation called melee.

"... troublesome hands"

Zadkirgias accepts the sword I wave while adding the 'Resonant Sword' with my own sword.

Then - just before the sword and the sword collided, my sword bounced back.

- "Counter fire".

It is the magic that releases massive amounts of magic from the sword at once and instantly bounces back the enemy's sword by its pressure.

Bouncing back without question no matter what magic is imparted to the enemy's sword, this magic boasts unparalleled strength in slashing at close range.

If you are a half-breed sword user, you can stab your sword in the bounced gap.

In the world of previous life, there was even a time when the type of magic imparted to the sword was negligible because of this' counter-fire '.

But there's no way that all that powerful magic can be used at no cost.

This' counter-fire 'is, in a way, simple magic that blows the sword with massive magic pressure.

This is why it is less susceptible to other magic - but at the price of it, this magic requires instantaneous release of massive amounts of magic.

The only one capable of instantaneously releasing the magic power needed for 'counter-firing' is the super-high demonic clan, among swordsmen with disqualification marks, especially those with rugged magic circuits or even far beyond Zaridias.

What others will do is build magic in the sword beforehand and release it when necessary.

Because of the magnificent magic load to build up that magic, the users of "Counter Shooting" are unable to activate other magic in parallel.

In contrast, I can only fight with a magical load of a much easier activated 'resonant sword' than a 'counter-fire'.

That means you can shoot offensive magic with your strength.

"... avoid this too..."

Zadkirgias manages to judge my attack with the 'Resonant Sword' while weaving attack magic.

In a situation where you have to use 'counter-fire', it should be difficult to judge an attack while withstanding its load - something that you avoid successfully.

With that in mind, Zadkirgias opened his mouth as he bounced my sword back.

"You... if it's just technology, it's better than the guy who killed me in my last life."

The guy who killed Zadkirgias in his previous life... you mean me.

Sure, I'm a lot more magical right now than I was back then.

Think about it now, I was a pretty rough fighter back then.

... Even then, I was already about eighty years old, so the magic and magic circuits were not as strong as they are now.

While I think about it, I answer.

"Right. Then again, aren't you going to die?

"It won't. No matter how many moves there are, the absolute difference in power is hard to override.... In fact, the only thing you've done that has scratched me is the unintentional strike of the first resonant sword."

That's what he's talking about, while Zadkirgias is watching the gap in the counterattack.

Zadkirgias is talking right now to disrupt the pace of my battle.

If you are unfamiliar with combat, the pace of breathing can be slightly disturbed and gaps can occur when you utter words.

I know you're after that - unfortunately, it doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe it made sense to me when I was eighty in my previous life.

"... how old are you? I don't think he's a kid. I wouldn't be surprised if you were the same 'reincarnator' as me."

That's what Zadkirgias muttered when he saw me couldn't make a gap.

Apparently, they've got us figured out.

Well, I just found out who I am, and I can't deal with it.
