Compensation θ ~ I might be late for reincarnation, but since I was born as the talented eldest son of a prestigious noble, I might be on the winning side.

AN – Translating magic/skill name is hard…

*

To defeat a creature with metal attribute, a more complex magic is necessary.

Complex magic is a fusion of two or more attributes, also known as advanced magic, and it can only be obtained by breaking through the 5th Reason.

I can’t use it, yet.

However, that doesn’t mean I’m giving up.

With only single-attribute magic, my class [Emperor of Reason], and the magic of the Water Spirit King, can’t I produce effects comparable or even exceeding it?

Even though it’s called a metal attribute, it’s not the same as metals on Earth. However, despite the differences, it also has some similar properties.

For example, it’s crystal structures.

Even hard metals can have defects at the atomic level. If impurities are mixed in or if it’s composed of different metals with different atomic arrangements, vulnerabilities can arise.

《Merging master’s magic and spirit magic to attempt the destruction of the enemy. By utilizing the abilities that Master currently possesses, I have independently constructed something to counter a metal attribute creature. 》

Nice. It seems that developing a new type of magic is possible due to my class.

《Magic is strengthened by conceptualization. As Master is using this type of magic for the first time, image resources for the magic are extracted from Master’s memory to smoothly activate it. Please display your unbidden fantasy without reservation. 》

Huh? What exactly does that mean… Oh, I see.

Uh, well, that’s it. This certainly helps solidify the concept. However, this reference source is unexpected.

《Some of the incantation for the magic is inspired by the ‘The Strongest Magic Notebook I Thought of,’ written by Master, who excelled in his imagination. 》

I knew it. I had a feeling of déjà vu when Ai projected the incantation.

–Huh. You wanted to be a magician from such a young age. The Strongest Magic Notebook, huh? Not bad. Achieving a childhood dream in a different world, that’s impressive.

Lord Lucas!?! Indeed, it might have been a dream. But now, it’s almost like a dark history, and it’s embarrassing to be dug up at this age, especially when asked by my ancestors who are well-versed in Japanese culture.

Well, it’s too late now.

Lord Lucas has seen me vomit and leak various filth during the process of developing my body.

–Yeah. Don’t worry about it too much, don’t worry.

Lord Lucas and the Water Spirit seems to be fully prepared already.

And the cluster of wind spirits led by Faein in the sky are full of enthusiasm.

As long as my relatives don’t approach the water basin, the Water Spirit King will be able to protect us.

Now, let’s brace ourselves. Let’s repay a long-standing debt!

–That’s the spirit, kid! No, Lyon. Don’t hold back!”

The sky was clear with not a single cloud in sight. Originally, it should have been a pleasant day with a refreshing breeze blowing.

But now, due to the presence of a group of wind spirits in the sky, there was a pressure crushing down those standing below, while the water in the waterway churned violently.

I stepped towards the water basin.

Concentration. That’s crucial. If I overdo it and Glassbridge is destroyed, it would be bad.

Among all other attributes, the stability of the metal attribute is extremely high. It’s weak towards ‘water’ or ‘air.’ If ‘water’ alone doesn’t work, then by adding ‘air’ to the mix it should work.

Moreover, since I can’t use advanced magic right now, I have to use multiple single attribute magic back-to-back in order to achieve the same result as an advanced magic.

Even so, I never expected that I would be skipping intermediate magic entirely and by using advanced magic.

First, convert the mana to the ‘air’ element.

Unlike the practice I did before, this is bigger in scale. Since the firepower is determined by this, I won’t hold back.

Mana overflowed within my body, flowing and racing through it, leaving countless traces. The structural transformation by the pentagram proceeded at an astonishing speed.

The abnormality moved. Sensing the change in the concentration of magical elements in the surroundings, it extended tentacles, condensed like a black mist, towards me.

Since the creature in front of me is a demonic being, I didn’t expect it to miss the usage of magic. I anticipated that much. So, Faein!

—Don’t touch him!

—Leave Lyon alone!

The wind spirits in the sky immediately descended.

A veil of wind, created to restrain the abnormality, covered the entire water basin.

—Bug-infested stain

—Exterminate it

—Finish it!

Understood! here I go!

“The clear storm arise.”

“O door of reason, align with my will, obey my command!”

Controlling the overwhelming flow of magical elements and sublimating it into phenomena.

The [Emperor of Reason] is a class created to be the pinnacle of magicians.

Behold the true might of my class!

“[Garou(Wolf Fang): Corrosion]!”

Purple lightning rapidly descend from the sky and quickly circulated throughout the entire body of the demonic being, and its surface began to crumble.

However, this was just the beginning.

“[Garou(Wolf Fang): Great Crushing]!”

A wolf made from the raging wind bite through the creature carapace.

“[Garou(Wolf Fang): Ominous Spike]!”

A giant spiral stake pierced the creature mercilessly.

“[Garou(Wolf Fang): Air Bomb]!”

A concentrated bombardment by compressed gas burst throughout the creature’s body.

But it’s still not enough. Now, let’s finish off this bug!

“I, the one who forms a covenant with you, am the summoner of spirits. Heed to my call, [Spirit Summoning] Liquor!”

It wasn’t until I vocalized it that I understood. This name could probably only be uttered by those allowed by the spirit king itself. The name contained the power of a great spirit, and strangely, an unusual rhythmical scale of sound unfolded from my mouth.

The Water Spirit King’s finally appear once more after hundreds of years of absence.

The immense water attribute power that led to the title of Spirit King covered the entire area.

—To those who oppose the spirits, death.

A huge water ball appeared far above the creature’s head. It was a high-pressure water cage filled with spirit power. It tries to suck off the creature still clinging to the water basin and try confined it inside.

However, the creature clung tight to the water basin.

Fine! Have it your way!

“[Washizume(Eagle Claw) – Grasping Fang]!”

A wind eagle embedded its sharp claws into the creature’s body and forcefully lifted it.

While holding onto the creature, the eagle plunged into the water ball.

Instantly, the power of the spirit seeped through numerous holes and cracks in the monster body. As planned, the resistance against the water attribute was stripped away.

Now then, it’s time to finish it. Since the magic I’m about to use is a bit delicate, I need assistance.

“[Parallel Activation] [Astral Body Separation]! Come! Araneola!”

The real world manifestation of ‘Araneola’ bring about a melody of destruction.

“[Demon Bane – Crystal Collapse]!”

The last spell destroyed the creature at the atomic level, which is already turning into debris. It requires precise and sustained control, with an astronomical consumption of magical power.

Consuming the magical elements I converted so far, the magic was completed through the collaborative work of Araneola and me.

The creature, now invisible due to being shattered into pieces, released a large amount of metal attribute magical elements and left behind a red-black amorphous stain inside the water ball.

—This dirty thing? Are you sure? Well, It seems our impromptu guest wants it, what should we do?

Oh, just drop it down. Eat it whole like you usually do.

Come on, go. Don’t be shy or anything like that; it doesn’t suit you.

The creature’s remains, spilled from the water ball, swallowed whole by a giant pearl-colored jaw, and it ruthlessly chomps into it without hesitation.

It’s quite a gruesome sight. At this distance, I could confirm that the squishy red-black object was a congealed human-faced.

I wonder if others can see… Yeah, except for me, can’t other humans see it?

When the demonic being completely disappeared, the giant snake also vanished, as if its purpose was fulfilled.

Well then, is it finally time for the emotional reunion—or not?
