SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar
Chapter Summary
'Once it detonates, all the information it has will be uploaded to whatever server the Jared of this world has prepared for it. 'Well… perhaps…' I stared at the Automaton in front of me, watching as its Magic Circuits began to overheat and fry. In a second or two, it would explode, swallowing me and the entire building we were within in its powerful eruption.
I watched as Gawain activated its Self-Destruct Protocol.
I also realized that it really was quite similar to my own version—at least, in that respect.
'Once it detonates, all the information it has will be uploaded to whatever server the Jared of this world has prepared for it.
In any case, everything that happened here will be exposed to him.
'Did I really want that to happen?
'Well… perhaps…' I stared at the Automaton in front of me, watching as its Magic Circuits began to overheat and fry.
In a second or two, it would explode, swallowing me and the entire building we were within in its powerful eruption.
'I'm disguised anyway.
It's not like my identity will be deciphered.
Besides…' A smile formed on my face as I looked at the battered thing.
'...
I'm curious to see how this world's version of me would respond to this.
'>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
I could see the sizzling blast struggling to get out, but my Magic Barrier was far stronger than the struggling eruption.
In the end, it died down without too much trouble.
'Guess we're done here.
' From the fight I just had, there were a couple of things I had deciphered.
Firstly, this world's Gawain was far weaker than mine.
The Defensive Magic it had on, plus the material it was comprised of… they were all subpar.
'Plus, it Self-Destructed.
That means it was also aware that it stood no chance.
'I was tempted to project Gawain's weakness to its creator.
Perhaps this world's Jared was not as strong as I had imagined?
Perhaps I could handle him.
'No… let's not get too conceited.
I have to be careful here.
' Just because this world's Jared was less skilled in making the Perfect Automaton didn't mean he was lacking in other areas.
Besides, he had hidden knowledge from this world's Merlin.
He most probably had trump cards as well, making the situation more difficult than I could imagine.
'Then there's also Spellcraft.
I can't use it currently.
But if he can, then I'll be at a disadvantage.
'In the end, I still needed more time.
"Alright, then.
Why don't I take care of the other issue I noticed since I entered this building?
' A smile formed on my face as I looked at the far end of the factory.
There was a hidden door that was made to look like part of the wall.
Beyond the wall-like door was a special room, and someone was dwelling inside it.
'I wouldn't have known if I didn't move this close.
' My senses were also enhanced to their limits due to my being extra cautious.
The person on the other side had to be skilled at using Magic Distortion.
Perhaps there was a Magic Device that allowed for something like that there.
'Let's find out.
'In no time, I closed the distance between me and the mysterious hidden door.
Concentrating my energy on my fist, I readied myself and bolstered my defences—just in case there was a trap.
'Here goes…'>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!
WHOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!
