Chapter 304 Strongest Sage, Finds Out the Existence of Next Enemy

" . . . I read some ancient documents . . . As for linguistics stuff, I'll write a textbook on it when I have some time . "

I glossed over the source of my information with that .

. . . Rather, we're not getting anywhere at this rate .

The results of my translation showed that the situation was more dire than expected .

I've got to change the topic .

"Enough about translation method, let's get to the content . . . We've got some bad news written here . "

I point at the translated documents .

There are some untranslated part . . . but it should be readable still .

" . . . Return of 『Gemuswaunwa』 . . . ?"

Alma tilted her head in puzzlement when she read what I wrote .

That's what written in the document indeed .

This 『Gemuswaunwa』 is a word that wasn't present in the Ancient Sand Graph language .

Some words closely resemble it . . . But since this word appears often in these documents, it's most likely not a typo .

"So it seems that the demons who possessed these documents were trying to plot a return of this 『Gemuswaunwa』 . . . "

"But what is this 『Gemuswaunwa』 anyway?"

Ruli and Iris read the documents and threw a question .

This word did not exist in the [Ancient Sound Graph] . . . But judging from its emergent pattern, it's probably a proper noun .

Which means . . . I could hazard a guess .

These documents detailed about how one of the returned [Gemuswaunwa] was killed by an enemy at the capital .

A being important to demons that got killed at the capital–it can only be demon Zaridias .

Zaridias boasted an overwhelming power far exceeding demons existing in this era, the one demon who almost managed to kill me .

It's not an exaggeration to say that the battle against it was the hardest I had experienced after reincarnating yet .

That Zaridias said this in its last breath .

–"I admit my defeat . However, I am not the only 『Chaotic Demons』 left in this world . . . Now then, I wonder if you're capable of eradicating every last one of them?"

If it said the truth then . . . [Gemuswaunwa] must mean– .

"Chaotic Demons . "

"C-Chaotic Demons . . . ?"

"What are those?"

Iris and Alma sounded confused when they heard me .

Only Ruli was different .

"That's . . . The one mentioned by Zaridias!?"

Looks like she remembers what was said at the time .

Remembering a word she picked up from afar . . . She's got good memory .

"Yes it was mentioned by Zaridias . . . As Zaridias had been sealed right before it came to the capital . . . I believe these demons must be attempting to awaken demons sealed somewhere . "

"A-awaken . . . "

"Demons like Zaridias getting awakened, isn't that like really really bad!?"

"Yeah . This is bad . . . Our victory is not guaranteed against Zaridias-class enemies . "

The [Eyes of Heavens] I cast did not have enough power to get through the seal and defeat those demons .

I just didn't have enough time to construct a magic large scale enough to achieve that .

Defeating around 1200 lesser demons scattered all over the world was the most I could afford at the time .

In other word . . . These Chaotic Demons are still sealed somewhere .

And worst of all . . .

"They're probably done with the preparations to awaken one already . "

I picked up a piece of translated documents and rewrite [Gemuswaunwa] into [Chaotic Demons]

And . . . Here's the result .

――――――――――――――――――――

Process to awaken [Chaotic Demon] is complete .

[Chaotic Demon] will return in three years .

Our victory will be set in stone if we match it with the return of another [Chaotic Demon] within the same period of time .

――――――――――――――――――――

"P-process to awaken, complete . . . "

"But, there's still three years before it's awakened right!? If we come up with a way to counteract it in the meantime . . . "

Alma pointed out the [in three years] part .

But unfortunately . . .

"This document should be written about three years ago . "

"Three years ago . . . How'd you know that?"

"Take a look at the [Another [Chaotic Demon] within the same period] part . . . Judging from the situation, this must be about Zaridias . "

If there was another [Chaotic Demon] that had been awakened ahead of them already, information regarding it would have been detailed in these documents .

But the only [Chaotic Demons] referred in these documents are [Completed awakening process of a Chaotic Demon] and [Chaotic Demon that was defeated in the capital] .

And . . .

"This makes it conclusive . "

――――――――――――――――――――

The [Chaotic Demon] who returned first was defeated .

This is totally outside of calculations .

Even 『Mathias the Unknown』 should have been incapable of defeating a 『Chaotic Demon』 and yet .

Cause of defeat remains a mystery as all demons who were present have been annihilated .

We can only hope that the other [Chaotic Demon] awakening soon will destroy the loathsome Eis Kingdom .

It is said that the next [Chaotic Demon] is more powerful than the one defeated .

Let's hope that information is accurate .

Our victory draws near .
