"... just now, I thought the dragon pulse operation would fail... did you do it?

When I erased the signs and tried to get closer to the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan turned to the pretense.

Well, I didn't originally think I could set up an unintentional strike on this level of demon clan, so there's no problem.

If the enemy is defenseless, it's after that collapse.

"Then what?

I can answer that question with affirmation.

If the enemy is making a mistake, it's the basics of battle that make them make a mistake.

But...

Before the Demons reacted to it, the magic around the Demons swayed unnaturally.

This is... Probably communication magic.

I thought so, and when I read the surrounding magic, I found out what the communication was.

'Don't be fooled. Mathias-Hildesheimer may have the power to interfere with dragon pulse manipulation, but it's impossible while traveling. Think someone's arranging a jamming operation near the dragon vein. From the magic used, the glory mark is probably the main obstruction. Individual magic is probably not high level, but it's good to use'

'Okay. I will fight pretending to be deceived'

Perhaps there are other demons giving instructions to this demon clan, and correspondence from him is in there.

The demon clan knows all about magic and dragon veins.

There's a hand in crushing communications... but this time, it might be easier to fight if you intercept them unnoticed.

It also leads to knowing your enemy's level of skill.

"... I see. Now, if I crush you, I can move the dragon pulse as I please."

That's how the Demon Clan developed its boundaries.

However, unlike normal junctions, the surgical ceremony is mostly centralized.

Is this about anti-disqualification marks?

Because the main body of the procedure is in the center, it is difficult to crush this kind of junction if it is a disqualification mark.

... Well, that's about a guy unfamiliar with handling disqualification marks.

I only partially alter the unfolded magic of the junction.

Unless you destroy the art of the junction itself, it's hard to collapse the entire junction... but it's not hard to break only part of it or just dive in.

"Become..."

I quickly impart magic to my sword against the Amazing Demon Clan.

That's how I tried to pierce the Demon Clan...

"... hard on boulders"

After all, demons with decent powers are hard.

Well, until now, I've only seen how things are mostly going.

But... that's not all.

Because of its magical feel, it has probably applied magic to combat melee attacks.

"Apparently, Mathias measures are working."

'Yes, the power is higher than expected, but it doesn't seem to have been broken'

'Turn on the cat before it's broken. Long-term battles are against our opponents. "

'... Yes'

Again?

This Demon Nation itself is a lot stronger than the Demon Nation we've been fighting for... but more than that, it seems to be exclusively counteracting disqualification marks.

It's just... all this guy knows is that he seems to be disqualified enough to fight with magic on his sword.

In fact, when I fought the Demons before, I was close to it.

But - if that was all the power of disqualification marks, disqualification marks couldn't even be described as the strongest crest.

Sure, a sword with tons of attack magic is powerful, but that's not the only weapon with disqualification marks.

"Lurii, prepare the fourteenth magic formation."

'Yes!'

I'll give Lurii instructions while I prepare to attack.

Preventing the current attack looks like defensive magic at best... but it's not.

You can't deploy all that strength of defensive magic all the time.

There's room to get in there.

The question is where to make that gap...... we have good ingredients available this time so let me use them.
