Chapter 174: The Sage Shows Off his Capability as the Demon Lord

John and Baruch resurrected from the desert below again.

They were about to ride onto the nearest tank.

In the meantime, another group of weapons activated and started firing at me.

Im tired of seeing this.

I coldly thought.

The rain of incoming ammunition was sucked into a portal I'd cast using space magic.

The exit was set right above John and Baruchs heads, so that overwhelming firepower struck them as it was.

The series of bombardments that jumped through space caused a big explosion in the desert.

A sinkhole opened at the explosion site, with John, Baruch, and their tank at the center, erased without a trace.

What I used just now was the skill of the demigod I once fought against.

I imitated his spells and improved on them.

It was very convenient since I could defend and counterattack at the same time without splitting my attention.

John and Baruch reappeared a little further away while boarding a small boat and approached once more.

They appeared some distance away from me.

It seemed that they judged that it was dangerous to resurrect within visible distance.

Perhaps they were wary of the space magic from earlier.

I had dealt with their attacks using protective magic and magic powered swords up until then, consciously trying to avoid using cheat-like techniques.

Then, once they got impatient, I launched an absolute counterattack in the form of space magic.

Perhaps the psychological damage they suffered was too great.

So much so, that it was enough to reduce their fighting spirit and force them to use more passive methods.

It seemed my effort to preserve it till now was worth the wait.

Nows a good opportunity to end it.

As I settled on that decision, I was about to chase after John and Baruch.

However, an unmanned weapon stood in my way and turned their barrels to attack me.

As I raised my magic powered sword, I used that persons swordsmanship skills and slashed against the incoming barrage.

The wide variety of weapons from a different world possessed enough power to kill me.

As the fighting continued long, I managed to obscurely understand their civilization.

Said other world might be far more developed than this world.

Regardless of how weak humans were, as long as they were taught how to wield the weapon, they could control mighty power.

However, in front of an overwhelmingly powerful individual, it was practically meaningless.

After all, those weapons were no different to toys made of steel.

They were unable to achieve a performance beyond what they were designed to, and that was their limit.

They had no room for growth.

Although they get better once their design improves, I think that that is different from growth.

On the other hand, humans sometimes exerted an unbelievable amount of power.

They even made use of crises as an opportunity for growth, and could even reject common sense sometimes.

I have tasted such potential many times.

Heralds were the physical symbols of human potential.

Even as new weapons appeared in the desert, they failed to resist the reversed gravity and got dragged upward.

Even the weapons from the other world were unable to resist my forbidden spell.

They were all mercilessly drawn to the sky.

As the night sky filled with weapons, I concentrated the gravity in one point.

It was the spot where the moon overlapped.

The weapons were forced to that point all at once, and compressed with loud screeches of protest.

Their robust exterior collapsed.

Even as they exploded, they were all mixed into one, becoming a sphere made of sand and steel.

It looks spectacular. I think it was well made.

As I observed the sphere, I felt a flicker of magic power there.

Immediately after that, a gunshot sounded as the bullet ignored the gravity.

I swiftly swung my magic powered sword and split the bullet.

The bullet returned to being sand and fell as it was back below.

John and Baruch were on the surface of the sphere.

Even as they were pulled in by the gravity, it seemed that they moved in such a way so that they didnt get crushed by the things around them.

I isolated both of them within a barrier and transferred them away from the artificial magnetic field.

That barrier was something that could imprison the spiritual body.

Even if they committed suicide, it was impossible for them to escape.

This barrier spell was developed in the midst of this battle.

Since I made it based on their spirituality, it was impossible to break from inside.

It was very hard to construct a new spell during combat, but I somehow managed.

This is the end.

I created a blade of wind inside the barrier and chopped John and Baruch into small pieces of flesh.

Then, I burned their remains with high temperature and compressed said barrier down to the size of my palm.

This would prevent them from resurrecting any longer.

Both of them would perpetually stay in their spiritual state as they were imprisoned there.

Now they no longer a danger to me.

They had already exhausted all their options in our series of battles.

I was aware that they had no hidden aces.

They shouldnt be able to make use of shamanic magic or weapons in their current state.

Although it took a lot of time and effort to make this happen, it was all good since it was successful.

John and Baruchs abilities were simple, yet anomalously strong.

Even if I searched desperately around the world, I doubted that I could find a standing army that could come out victorious against them.

It would be difficult even for the Demon Lords Army to win.

However, that was all they amounted to in the end.

All I needed to do was to suppress them with superior violence.

In this battle, my victory was practically guaranteed since they failed to kill me even once.

As I left the barrier in the desert, I went towards Gwen.
