Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 314 - Episode Fourteen - Attack of Penrath (5)

“I’ve heard that there is a man named Abel who has defeated the “Immortal Multi-Headed Dragon”, a symbol of my loyalty, which was perfected by the results of my lifelong research and the wisdom of the Levi-sama. I knew I would have to settle this with you at some point.”

Penrath continued.

An immortal, multi-headed dragon?

You can see from the flow of the story that it’s something important to the Four Great Priests Penrath, but I don’t think the story is connected in any subtle way.

I don’t recall ever defeating anyone of that magnitude.

“Fufufu …… I thought about how did you managed to defeat it, but I didn’t think that you used magic to break through the front! It’s true that it was said to be a monster of magic! Magic capacity and the output that doesn’t seem to be from a physical body …… amazing! It’s no wonder why Levi-sama was so wary of you! I never thought that a human being could have output more than a high-ranking spirit!”

Penrath’s eyes turned to the burned-out Nalgarn, and then his face wrinkled up into an ugly monkey smile.

Hmm? Is the “Immortal Multi-headed Dragon” referring to Nalgarn ……?

So, does this mean that this old man is the one who set up Nalgarn’s regeneration magic circle?

But there’s something that doesn’t quite make sense about that. ……?

“I’ve decided! I will dismantle you, embalm you, and make you a specimen! Your brain and organs will be of great use to me in my research! And that’s not all! You’ll be able to speed up the progress of magic in the Riveras Kingdom by more than a hundred years! It will be the cornerstone of this foolishness, this magic path, and the Riveras Kingdom!”

Penrath’s bloodshot eyes widened as he shouted, spitting and laughing loudly.

“All of it! The truth that lies at the end of magic! All for the sake of the great Levi-sama, the owner of wisdom deeper than the sea!”

“T-This old man, what the …… hell is he talking about ……?”

Euris turned pale and disgusted at Penrath’s behavior.

I was also speechless from what the old man said.

What do you mean? What is this Penrath talking about?

“Eh!? Wai-, please wait a minute! So, with the results of your lifelong research that you’ve been doing, until you reached that age, you borrowed the wisdom of one of the four great gods of creation, and crystallization of what you ended up with is that crazy magic formula that’s been spliced together!?”

You’ve been talking a lot, and the result that you got is that copy-paste of a magic formula!?

No, it can’t be. There must have been a fatal misunderstanding somewhere.

“Mm…………?”

Penrath was looking down at me from the top of the Chimera Dragon’s head with a look of “what the hell is he talking about?”.

I was relieved. It must be different.

“Um, If I’m wrong it’s fine …… Or rather, there’s no way that’s it, right. There’s no way that a magic circle that was created with the involvement of the four creator gods is sending out twenty orders, mixing in completely unrelated magic formulas of unknown meaning, and obviously using other magic circles in unrelated areas, and because of that, it’s consuming Nalgarn’s magic power and putting a strange strain on his body, making him look like an idiot ……”

Penrath’s mouth was wide open as if he had been caught off guard, but as soon as he heard my words, his face grew redder and redder, his expression became strained, and finally, the tip of his nose began to twitch.

“There’s no way I would have heard a magic circle like “I was cutting and pasting and repeating and it just happened to work! I did it! I’m not going to touch it again!”, I apologize. By the way, what is the “immortal multi-headed dragon” about? Can I just ask you that?”

Penrath was intoxicated enough to have a conversation with the person he was about to fight.

He would be able to answer at least one question.

However, with a little thought, it was obvious that the “Immortal Multi-Headed Dragon” was not Nalgarn.

I wouldn’t normally be embarrassed to call him by the ostentatious name of “Immortal Multi-Headed Dragon” when I saw Nalgarn burnt to cinders in front of me.

I’d probably go with “Immortal …… Oh, it’s nothing.”.

In other words, I can guess that it’s something completely different.

“Abel-dono! Stop right there, stop right there!”

Euris taps me on the shoulder in a whisper.

What, Euris-san. Are you telling me not to get too friendly with the enemy?

But it’s good for the future to find out what you can. That’s what I think.

The question I just asked was merely out of curiosity, but it’s never a bad idea to find out the secret hands of the four great priests of the water gods.

“That’s rich coming from you. The one who is jealous of my research results and makes such a complaint. They don’t understand anything, they are narrow-minded and jealous, they can’t do anything for themselves, and they don’t even try to do it in the first place, it’s like they are telling people that they are incompetent and unworthy of life, but they can’t even realize it forever ……!”

Penrath bit the second joint of his left index finger.

The flowing blood proves that he had bitten without hesitation.

Penrath followed up with a bite on his middle finger.

“You are trying to find some way out of your predicament by provoking me, but rejoice, for this childish and somewhat angry fool will be well served by such a transparent and cheap provocation. And you should be in despair. If it’s only me, it’s okay, but from the point you insulted the great Levi-sama, the way that I will kill you easily is gone now! I will trample all of your dignity as a human being and leave you as a living specimen!”

Penrath turns his angry face towards me.

His face was that of an ugly little monkey.

I was a little pissed too.

What are these remarks? Does this old man think that politeness is unnecessary when dealing with an enemy?

“Oh, so you’re saying that I’m missing the point!? It’s at the level where you can see the problem when you see it! Why should I be called that, like I’m lying and being difficult!”

“What is a magic formula! If you are a person who has reached a certain level, you will know that it is not something that you can give a general answer to such as this should be done or that should be done! If it’s so simple, if you can say that this is zero and that is one! The golden alchemist who creates all things should not be fiction anymore and should be born long ago! You deserve to die for your foolishness in mocking me, Levi-sama, with your shallow insight!”

“A certain height? You know you’re not at that level when you see it! That’s why you’re just cutting and pasting this!”

I hold Euris’ shoulders, stretch up, get a little closer to Penrath, and shout.

“Abel-dono, please, uh, restrain yourself ……! ou can’t win an argument like that here, it won’t help after all!”

“I’ll tell you easily so that you can’t get away with it! Based on the magic formula regarding the density of spirits in the atmosphere, it’s obvious that what we’re originally assuming is that it’s over 500 years old! It’s impossible to escape when you haven’t done anything about this at all! First of all, it’s strange that you bring up Haleotta’s biological theory and then use Giija’s virtual creature construction magic formula to deny it! It’s a theory that assumes different interpretations for each spirit, so a total of about fifty percent of the spirits here receive only magic power and stop moving, so they’re throwing half their magic power into the gutter!”

“Whoa, your spit flew……”

Nalgarn’s regeneration magic circle is obviously not as efficient or fuel-efficient as it used to be, you just tried to connect them together, but it’s not clear where they go.

What the hell did that spearless spear god teach him?
