"Are you kidding me I'm the only man who missed killing... the wizard Gaius...?

"I'm not Gaius.... just like you're not Zadkirgias right now"

Gaius is my last life's name.

Now I'm Mathias-Hildesheimer, not Gaius.

In the same way, the demon clan now in front of us is taking over the soul and memory of Zadkirgias, but technically another demon clan.

Maybe as a demon, I have a different name... well, I can't help remembering.

Zadkirgias will die here anyway.

That, too, is now completely.

"Have I lost to you again?... that time, I was going to win with moves... but there's no excuse for all this time"

Zadkirgias' body had collapsed almost like sand already.

In that state, Zadkirgias looks remorseful and looks at my body.

My magic nowadays is less than 30% of Zadkirgias.

Muscle strength is also so weak that it is not comparable to the Demon clan.

Still, I was able to win because of the difference in technology and the support of my people.

When I fought in my previous life, I had more magic than Zadkil Gears and less technology than Zadkil Gears.

The opposite is true this time. My magic power is inferior to Zadkirgias, but in technology I win.

For Zadkirgias, who was confident in his technology, this would have been humiliating.

"... wins next"

Leaving the word, Zadkirgias collapsed and vanished like sand.

All I had left were two horns growing on my head.

But I knew there was no 'next'.

Reincarnation is impossible no matter how much more than the soul has completely collapsed.

... because that's what souls are all about.

"Well... I don't know what to do from here"

Then a little later.

We were near where we fought Zadkirgias, looking at the situation around us.

"I broke it pretty flashy...... are you okay?

That's what Iris asks me when he's human.

"I'm fine. Sure, the city was pretty broken... but this was the least damaging way to do it. If Illis hadn't fought, the city would have been wiped out."

What I'm saying is true.

If we hadn't defeated Zadkirgias, there was no doubt that the city would have perished.

Depending on how Zadkirgias did it, the building might have been safe... but the inhabitants would have been wiped out.

In the last lifetime, the city targeted by Zadkirgias was a terrible sight.

He's more efficient than any other demon... for example, after he returns the crusaders, he kills people in a way that would tear poison gas apart where the refugees are gathered.

If Zadkirgias were the kind of guy who would only kill a crusader, he wouldn't have been so endangered in his previous life.

Whatever the way you do it, the Demons are creatures that kill people and go around.

In this battle, there was damage to the building... but not a single dead person.

First of all, I can definitely say that the damage was minimized thanks to the battle of Illis.

"Though... you seem to be getting this back together"

This time, Illis also went inside the city and launched a physical attack, so the damage to the city is considerable.

In the meantime, it's going to be hard to repair the city without support from the state.

Do you want me to send supplies and manpower first after I tell the country what happened this time?

With that in mind, the magic reaction of one man approached from afar.

"Somebody don't come."

... Probably not ordinary people.

There should be no courage for ordinary people to return to the city just after the battle with the Demons and the dragons disappeared.

With that in mind, I look at the magic reaction with slight vigilance.

Then... a man made a face out of a nearby street corner.

"Sounds like someone from the Knights..."

"That guy, you may have seen him somewhere!

Seeing the man, Lurii and Alma said so.

Apparently, the man approaching, he's from the Knights.

But... that's the first uniform and chapter I've ever seen.

Depending on their affiliation, the Knights may have slightly different uniforms and chapters of affiliation they wear.

Even if you wear armor, even if you can see the chapter you belong to, it means you know who you belong to.

But Alma was right, that face looked familiar.

I don't even remember his name, but he's probably the one who was in the Knights of King's Capital.
