Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~ Chapter 163

Powerful Curse-Breaking Magic

‘So, I just need to break the curse?’

‘So, I just need to break the curse?’

‘Aye. But…it cannot be something that’s half-baked. It is very powerful. …How far can you go with dispelling magic?’

How far, huh?

As for the magic that I had, there were a few that seemed strong, judging by their names.

For instance, there was one called ‘Complete Purification Consecration.’

However, I had no idea what that actually did.

The only one that I was sure worked was…

‘I can do Curse Break – Extreme.’

‘Extreme…!? Not, ‘True’?”

‘…I can use that too. Is ‘True’ stronger?’

I had assumed that ‘Extreme’ was the stronger one and had used it when it was necessary…

Maybe I had been wrong.

While there was a large variety of magic that I could use, I didn’t have a lot of knowledge about them.

In fact, I had only used a small fraction of all the magic I had.

One of these days, it would be nice to go through all of them one by one… But then again, that seemed incredibly dangerous.

Up until now, I had used things like Hellfire of Death and Suppression Isolation Barrier, which made my MP go below 0… But if there was something that used even more MP then those, there was a possibility that I could die.

Besides, there were spells like Curse of Eternal Tundra that affected the surrounding area as well.

If I froze the neighborhood when there wasn’t even a Fire Dragon around, it would be quite the incident.

It was for these reasons that I had such little knowledge about my own magic.

‘No… Extreme is the stronger one. However…are you sure that you can use it?’

‘Well, I’ve used it before. So unless I managed to forget, I should be able to do it again.’

While the MP depletion was quite bad, it wasn’t as bad as Curse of Eternal Tundra.

And since I hadn’t used any MP today, it shouldn’t be a problem.

However…it was odd that the dragon was surprised about me using Curse Break – Extreme, when I had already said that I could use Hellfire of Death.

As the person who used them, Hellfire of Death seemed like it was on a superior level.

‘Uh, it’s not really that difficult to use, right? I mean, it doesn’t use nearly as much energy as something like Hellfire of Death.’

‘If you only look at energy depletion, that is true… But it requires an incredibly strong magic network and precision in the ability to control it. In terms of actual rank, it is far above Hellfire of Death.’

I see…

There sure was a lot to magic.

I had never even thought about control. However, Curse Break – Extreme was apparently very difficult to use.

That being said, it wasn’t difficult at all for me…

‘So, it’s really powerful magic then…’

‘Aye. It’s magic that only the freakishly strongest Sages are able to use. As for you…Yuji. What are you? How did you come to use such powerful magic?’

Oh, it called me by my name.

I was just called ‘you’ up until now, so it felt like I had been ranked up.

Well, I could just dodge the question…but this dragon might know something about the books.

It would probably be better to be honest here.

I really wanted to know more about those books.

‘I read it in a book.’

‘A…book?’

The dragon sounded confused.

The dragon sounded confused.

Apparently, it was unusual for humans to learn magic through reading books.

Well, who knew if this dragon even knew that much about what was normal for humans.

‘Yeah. Like, there was one called ‘Magic Book on the Annihilation of the Soul.”

‘Annihilation… Ah, I have heard of it. But…I don’t think accidentally reading that would allow you to understand it.’

‘…Really?’

‘It is only Sorcerers who have offered their souls who are able to understand and learn after years of study. It was a human Sage who told me this.’

I had read it and understood it just fine…

Maybe I had read a different book.

There could be multiple books with the same title.

‘I see. I think that might be a different book than the one that I read… In any case, it seems that it’ll be fine as long as I can use Curse Break – Extreme. So, which one should I use, True of Extreme?’

‘If you can manage it, you should use Extreme. While True may be enough to free me, the side effects might still remain.’

I see. So it was to protect it afterward.

Well, since it didn’t use that much MP, it was a good idea to use Extreme.

After all, I wanted this dragon to wreak havoc after this.

‘Alright. I’m ready to do it…are you?’

‘I’m ready. It’s not like there is anything I can do in preparation anyway. Just break this curse so that I can move.’

‘Got it. Alright, I’ll activate it in 30 seconds.’

I said as I inspected the area surrounding the dragon.

I couldn’t see anyone from the Blue Moon of Salvation nearby. As for places they could be hiding…it didn’t seem like there were any.

‘Slimes. Are you ready?’

‘We’re ready!’

‘We’re ready!’

‘We’re ready!’

I asked the slimes and they replied cheerfully.

I had all of the slimes combine so that they wouldn’t get hurt when the dragon went berserk.

Now they could stay to the side and help me support the dragon with magic.

And then the 30 seconds were up.
