STRONGEST SAGE WITH THE WEAKEST CRES
EPISODE 2: THE STRONGEST SAGE, INTO THE DUNGEON
Don't touch the body!
There might be a trap.
We have to keep this a secret from the public!
Matty.
I'm glad that you are fine.
Are you hurt?
Well
Lurie.
You are so bold.
Why did I do that?
It was just a demon.
Do they have to make it into such a big deal?
You defeated a demon all by yourself.
It's a valiant record in history.
Please come in.
Long time no see, Edwart.
Yes. It has been a long time, Your Majesty.
We have a close relationship.
There's no need to be so courteous.
Is the young man beside you the one?
Yes.
He's the hero.
Matthias.
I'm the junior high first-grade student
of the Second Royal Academy.
Matthias Hildesheimer.
I see.
You did well in defeating a demon this time.
I should praise you
and bestow a territory to you.
I really don't need a territory.
I reincarnated to become stronger.
I don't want to waste my time
on ruling over a territory.
But if I praise you in public,
the fact that a demon had infiltrated
the human world will be made known.
It'll bring chaos to the country.
Please reward me in another way instead.
How about a Magiblade?
Not long ago,
I received a double-enchanted Magiblade.
Double-enchanted?
According to the shopkeeper,
that double-enchanted Magiblade
was made by a child who was passing by.
Comes to think of it,
I did make another sword for him back then.
You don't look like you want it that much.
What else do you want?
I should just go ahead and
ask for something exorbitant.
I hope that I can get the permission
to utilize all the resources of the dungeon.
The resources of the dungeon?
Are you talking about the Magistone that can be
mined from either the demons or the dungeon?
Yes.
Of course, I won't monopolise the resources.
The dungeon has greater resources
compared to a top-grade gold mine.
It'll be a privilege.
In the past,
in order to procure demonic resources
and magic metals,
all nations were fighting for the dungeons.
However, due to the degradation
of magical knowledge in this era
it's very possible that they don't know
the value of the dungeon.
This is such a trifle matter. I'll grant it.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
That's it for your reward then.
Matthias, I need your opinion.
My opinion?
Currently, all four Magical Chosen Ones
of this nation
have gone missing.
Among them is our former Mage Captain,
Elhart.
Magical Chosen Ones.
Are they demons?
The Magical Chosen Ones had been here
since a few centuries ago.
It means
that this country had been infiltrated
by demons for centuries.
In my past life,
I almost annihilated the whole demon tribe.
But after my reincarnation,
the remaining demons lurk within the human world
to spread false knowledge about magic.
And with time,
they wait for the decline of the human power.
Thanks to Matthias,
all the demons in this nation are gone.
It means that our nation is safe, right?
No, Your Majesty.
The situation has gotten worse.
What do you mean?
Since their disguise as
the Magical Chosen Ones has been exposed
and they've all escaped,
it means that they don't have to
hide in the dark anymore.
Don't tell me that
The demon tribe is going to do their best
to destroy this nation.
However, the demon tribe is not united.
If they are going to band together
to launch a large-scale attack,
I think they'll do it after three months.
Only three months.
We don't have enough time.
Don't worry.
We just need to shield this nation
with a giant magical barrier.
A giant magical barrier?
Yes.
Please get ready to cast
a permanent barrier magic
with the Magical Creator Artefact.
With the help of the students
from the Second Royal Academy,
we can get it done within a month.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to teach them
about the Wordless Magic.
We can't offer you any assistance right now.
We can only put our trust on you
who have defeated a demon.
Matthias Hildesheimer.
I'll leave it to you to prepare us
for the fight with the demon tribe.
According to His Majesty,
you can take anything you need,
whether they are the materials for the barrier
or things that you can use for the battle.
The Magistone, Mithril and Orichalcum
that the barrier needs can only
be found in the dungeon.
As for the things that we have unearthed
from the ancient ruins,
we don't know what they are used for.
This magical pattern
I'm right.
This is the Magiblade
that I made in my previous life.
It's an experimental blade that I made
when I was keen on the Magiblade research.
I want this sword.
Please take it if you are willing to wield it.
This sword is stronger than Orichalcum.
I can use it as the core of the barrier.
I want this pendant too.
This is another magical tool
that I created in my previous life.
It can increase someone's combat power
based on their experience point.
It really suits me now.
They are finally getting a hang of it.
Although I hope that the emperor can re-evaluate
the magical theories and the crests,
it'll some time to change this mindset
that has been ingrained deeply into the people.
But it'll be bad
if humanity is destroyed before I can grow up.
I can only help them for now.
Matty.
We heard from the headmaster.
You are going to create
a magical barrier to protect our nation.
Yes. I plan to enter the dungeon after this
to collect the materials that the barrier needs.
-You are going to enter the dungeon?
-So fast?
Yes. Rather than entering the dungeon alone,
it'll be more effective
to form a party to enter it.
Lurie, Alma.
What is it?
Are you
willing to team up with me to form a party?
-Party?
-You want us to enter the dungeon with you?
Don't they want to team up with me?
I'm happy that you've invited me
to join your party.
But I'm afraid that I'll be a burden to you.
I want to become stronger.
But I'm not good with a sword.
You are better with a bow, right?
Bow and arrow are suitable for hunting.
But they are not compatible with magic.
It's not suitable for battle.
That's such a trivial issue.
You can use a bow and arrow
in a magic battle too.
Really?
Look, Alma.
You enchanted the bow and arrow.
It was just a simple Magic Boost.
It was amazing.
It was really awesome.
But will I be able to do it?
I'm sure you can do it with your progress now.
Besides, the bow and arrow are very compatible
with your Crest of Standard
I see.
I'll join your party then.
Was that a Magic Enchantment just now?
Yes. Enchanting the bow and arrow
is a type of Magic Enchantment too.
Will I be able to do that too?
Do you like Magic Enchantment?
Yes!
I've taken an interest in it
ever since I saw you doing it.
If I can perform Magic Enchantment,
I don't mind even if I can't fight in a battle!
I see.
With your Crest of Glory,
Magic Enchantment will suit you better
compared to close combat.
Isn't that great?
I want to join your party.
Please teach me about Magic Enchantment.
Lurie.
Why did I
The Crest of Glory that I tried so hard to
get rid of at the cost of reincarnating myself
is so cherished by her.
Now, I have a party.
I have the Fourth Crest which is proficient
in close combat. I'll act as the vanguard.
Alma will be in charge of
the long-range attacks.
And Lurie with the First Crest
will act as our support.
This is quite a well-balanced party.
It's decided then.
Let's explore the dungeon.
Okay!
I never thought that we would have
a dungeon right under our academy.
Yes.
The situation and demons
on each floor of the dungeon are different.
On this floor,
I don't think there will be super powerful
I'll capture the demon now.
Matty!
Look.
A demon!
Sorry for scaring you.
I want to train you with it.
Alma, attack it with your bow and arrow.
But, will an arrow work on such a solid demon?
Give it a try.
Just use your magic like usual.
Focus your magic on your bow and arrow.
Like this?
That's right.
Now, shoot.
Here I go.
-I can't believe it.
-You are amazing, Alma.
This is what you did just now, right?
Yes.
But this is just the beginning.
Alma, try to stop the arrow after you fire it.
After you fire your arrow,
try to merge your consciousness into the arrow.
Imagine that there's a magic thread
on the arrow.
And you are controlling that thread.
Like this?
It's the demon just now.
The trajectory of the arrow changed.
This is called the Thread Guided Enchant.
Try shooting two demons at once with this spell.
Okay. I'll give it a try.
Demon.
The Magistone that appears
after you defeat a demon
is a necessity for the making of the barrier.
Remember to pick it up.
Roger that.
As for you
Are you going to teach me
about Magic Enchantment now?
Unfortunately,
we have to take care of something first.
I see.
But it's an important training for you
to master Magic Enchantment.
Really? I'll do my best.
Before you can practise Magic Enchantment,
you have to learn how to
make your own weapons first.
Won't it take me decades to master it?
It won't take you that long
if you are just making some training equipment.
As for the ore that we can use to make a weapon,
let's find something from here.
Destructive Strike.
This is the dungeon's ore.
You have to mine it if you want
to extract the metals inside it.
But the wall of the dungeon
is one of the most important things
that shouldn't be destroyed.
The wall of the dungeon is
one of the richest resources in this place.
Anyway, let's mine it.
Okay.
Use your magic to melt the ore of the dungeon.
Then, use Water Magic
to cool it down and crystallise it.
Next, use Destructive Strike to smash it.
After that, use Magnet Magic to collect
the ingredients that you want.
Repeat the process.
I did it! I got iron and Mithril from it.
You did well for your first time.
Thank you.
She looks so cute when she smiles.
Next, are we going to use these ingredients
to make a weapon?
You are such a fast-learner.
After you make a weapon, try to enchant it.
Okay.
Amazing. I can shoot three demons at once now.
I've collected a lot of Magistones.
I think I'll head back now.
Is it going well with Lurie and Matty?
I did it!
I can break the wall with it after I enchant it!
What is she doing?
You are awesome, Lurie!
You can create equipment now.
Yes. It's all thanks to Matty's guidance.
We don't have to be afraid anymore
when the demons attack us from now on.
Yes. Let's conquer 10 floors today.
Ten floors?
Don't worry.
In order to test your capabilities,
let's move forward.
This floor is different from the previous one.
Look. They are so disgusting.
I'll take care of them
with the wide-range Flame Magic.
It doesn't work.
I'll use my arrow then.
Yay! I defeated all of them!
You are amazing, Alma.
Move behind me.
This demon is so tough.
Leave it to me.
Here are some new arrows for you.
Lurie, thank you.
You are welcome.
They have become more powerful now.
By absorbing the magical power
of the defeated demons,
this pendant can increase
the experience points of my companions.
Kudos to the me in previous life.
Next, we have the demon of the day.
Be careful.
Killer Hound is way stronger than the demons
that we had encountered before this.
How much stronger?
Should I help them?
Alma!
Thank you, Lurie!
Now, for the final blow.
-We did it!
-Alma!
Both of you are amazing.
Alma managed to fire two
Thread Guided Enchant arrows.
Lurie's support is flawless too.
Okay. There won't be
any more demons here for now.
Let's set up our camp.
Camp?
We have to set up a safety barrier
for us to rest in.
Infuse your magic into this Magistone.
It's done.
Have a good rest.
Where are you going?
I'm going to go deeper down the floors.
Because there is no Adamant nearby
that is crucial for our barrier.
Besides, I want to assess my current strength.
How far are you going to go?
Around 25 floors.
Around 25 floors?
The highest record
for this dungeon is 23 floors.
And I heard that it's a record
set by a party of 30
under the protection of Gaius the Magical God.
She mentioned Gaius the Magical God just now.
Is it a coincidence?
If I defeat a demon that is too weak,
it'll be a waste of my magic power.
I better head to the deeper floors quickly.
Okay. There's Adamant inside this rock.
I'll head back after I collected more of them.
I'm sure my instinct is right.
There's a super-powerful demon
called the Sub-Boss over there.
Sub-Boss is the reason that a whole party
can be wiped out when they explore the dungeon.
Now, I'm weaker than the normal mages
who had existed in my previous life.
What should I do in this situation?
Do I even have to think?
Of course I have to ambush it.
Based on my knowledge, experience and hard work,
I'll defeat the Sub-Boss!
Let's get ready to face my enemy.
I'll get rid of the demons and pillars
that are in my way.
Let me open up a path.
Come on. Force Detect.
It's coming.
Wait. It is
I made a path for you. Why didn't you take it?
Arc Serpent.
I'll die if this demon gets a hit on me now.
Not only that,
its venom will corrode the ground.
If I drag this out for too long,
the air here will become contaminated too.
I have to keep this short.
But this is my first thrilling fight
after I get the Fourth Crest.
Although this won't take long,
let me enjoy it.
Only one scale.
It's okay. It's enough.
For an opponent that rarely gets hurt,
this attack is threatening enough for it.
As expected.
Are you in pain?
It's not over yet.
Iron Cutter, Anti-Acid, Magic Attack.
Times three.
It doesn't work?
What a tough opponent.
For a magic combatant who wields a sword,
this can be counted as my ultimate attack.
By smashing a Magistone,
you'll release a potent source
of mana and magical power.
Then, infuse your sword with all of the energy.
Special Magic Power Enchantment.
What's wrong? Is that an earthquake?
Elhart, did you sense that powerful magic?
You must be imagining it.
It's impossible that there'll be
such a powerful human in this era.
You are back, Matty.
You are back much earlier than expected.
I defeated a bigger demon.
So, I ran out of storage space.
A bigger demon?
Look.

That's Matty's barrier for you.
Don't tell me that
"EPISODE 3: STRONGEST SAGE, DRAGON ENCOUNTER"
Alma, no!
