Chapter 304
Chapter 304 Strongest Sage, Finds Out the Existence of Next Enemy
" . . . I read some ancient doc.u.ments . . . 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 doc.u.ments .
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 doc.u.ment 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 doc.u.ments, it"s most likely not a typo .
"So it seems that the demons who possessed these doc.u.ments were trying to plot a return of this 『Gemuswaunwa』 . . . "
"But what is this 『Gemuswaunwa』 anyway?"
Ruli and Iris read the doc.u.ments 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 doc.u.ments 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-cla.s.s 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 doc.u.ments 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 doc.u.ment 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 doc.u.ments .
But the only [Chaotic Demons] referred in these doc.u.ments 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 .
