WM – Chapter 196: Takatsuki Makoto challenges the Demon Lord

“Let’s defeat the Demon Lord.” 

That reliable voice relaxes me. 

I turned once again and looked at the face of the outstanding mage.

And then, I noticed.

I ended up noticing.

“Great Sage-sama…aren’t you looking under-the-weather there?” (Makoto)

The Great Sage-sama is always pale since she is a vampire, but her complexion right now is far more pronounced than that…

Her expression is stiff, most likely due to her state.

“Yeah, I pushed myself pretty hard to get here after all… Spirit User-kun, sorry, but I request for the usual.” 

“O-Okay.” (Makoto)

I opened my collar, and offered my neck.

The Great Sage-sama immediately went ‘nom’ and gulping sounds were being made.

…Isn’t she going stronger than usual? 

I might get anemic. 

“Great Sage-sama?! Aren’t you sucking too much?!” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun shouted flustered. 

“Puha! Hyuu. The taste of blood after a long travel is the best.” 

“…Aren’t you treating me like a sports drink?” (Makoto)

“Aah, I’m back to life, back to life.” 

You are an undead though?

“Great Sage-sama, please drink my blood too.” (Sakurai)

“Uhm, I am grateful for the offer, but…” 

The Great Sage-sama was troubled on what to say to the offer of Sakurai-kun.

What, I am the only one getting all my blood sucked here.

Drink the blood of Sakurai-kun too, is what I thought, but then I remembered.

Is it because of that?

That thing about blood not tasting good unless they are virgins?

“This isn’t the time to be saying that, Great Sage-sama.” (Makoto)

I gave my honest opinion.

“But you know…I tried it once, and it was unbelievably bad. I haven’t had a taste like that since Johnny, you know…?” 

“…That much?” (Makoto)

The Great Sage-sama’s expression was so serious that I stopped pursuing the matter.

Also, this isn’t the time to be having idle chatter.

We created distance with Teleport, but it looks like the Demon Lord has noticed us now.

And he also noticed the fact that the Great Sage-sama is with us. 

“Light Hero-kun, can you fight?” 

“…I think that will be rough. It took me my all just to stop the attacks of the Beast King.” (Sakurai)

“…I see. Got it. Leave it to me from here on. You two run away.” 

“Eh?” (Makoto)

What? Won’t we fight together? 

According to Sakurai-kun, everyone cooperated to defeat the previous Beast King.

In that case, shouldn’t we be doing the same this time around too? 

But it is the Great Sage-sama.

She might actually pull that solo clear. 

[Will you leave the Great Sage and run away from here?]

Yes

No

RPG Player activated.

Choices were floating.

‘Leave the Great Sage-sama’… that’s a weird sentence. 

It bothers me.

“Understood. Takatsuki-kun, we will be hindrances here, so let’s move away from here.” (Sakurai)

“Great Sage-sama.” (Makoto)

I ignore Sakurai-kun and question her.

“What?” 

“Can you win against the Demon Lord alone?” (Makoto)

“…I haven’t grown so frail as to have you guys worry about me.” 

I could feel her usual leisure mood from those words of hers.

The Great Sage-sama normally doesn’t act at night due to her being a vampire. 

Moreover, she has gone back and forth between Camelon and Highland.

She must be quite exhausted.

It must have been pretty heavy on her.

“Takatsuki-kun…?” (Sakurai)

Sakurai-kun looks at me uneasy seeing that I am not running away.

“It is okay, so just go! We can’t go losing the Light Hero here. The only one who can defeat the Great Demon Lord is the Light Hero.” 

The Great Sage-sama said angrily.

(She really is pushing herself here.) (Makoto)

Maybe she is trying to sacrifice herself? 

The Great Sage-sama has helped me out a lot. 

In Laberintos, in the Sun Country, and in various other things too. 

Return good will with good will.

“Great Sage-sama, I have an idea.” (Makoto)

“What?” 

“Takatsuki-kun?” (Sakurai)

“How about this?” (Makoto)

I tell the two about the plan I thought of just now.

◇◇

“…That’s about how it goes.” (Makoto)

“Hooh, that’s interesting!” 

“It is true that with that method…” (Sakurai)

The Great Sage-sama and Sakurai-kun showed interest in what I explained.

GUUOOOOOOOOHHHH!!” 

At that moment, the roar of the Demon Lord made the air tremble and it resonated in the place.

The bloodlust of the Demon Lord is increasing.

“Woah, he seemed to have been wary about us, but after not showing any signs of doing anything, he must have run out of patience.” 

The eyes of the Great Sage-sama got sharper.

“I will buy time. I leave it to you, Takatsuki-kun.” (Sakurai)

“I will protect the Spirit User-kun.” 

“Sakurai-kun! I will finish preparations in 5 minutes. The Great Sage-sama will send the signal.” (Makoto)

We all confirm our roles.

GUUUUOOOOOOOO!!” 

When the Demon Lord opened its mouth, black fire was spit out. 

It is as if the fire of a massive flamethrower was approaching us.

The next instant, the scenery blurred. 

The place changed due to the Teleport of the Great Sage-sama.

But the attack of the Demon Lord wasn’t stopping.

Because Sakurai-kun is staying in that place.

The aim of the Demon Lord is the Light Hero.

Sakurai-kun is putting his life on the line to buy time. 

That’s why I must make preparations at the fastest speed I can.

[Clear Mind] 100%.

And then…

[Spirit Arm].

I raised my right arm to the sky. 

While at it, I had the Water Spirits in the whole area help out. 

An amount of mana that would be enough to even destroy the comet that attacked the Fire Country’s capital was gathering.

“He obviously would notice, huh.” 

Just as the Great Sage-sama said, the Demon Lord stopped attacking Sakurai-kun.

He thought over it for a bit, and then shot black fire over here as well. 

“What a half-baked attack.” 

The moment the Great Sage-sama chanted something, a giant thin mirror-like wall appeared before us.

The moment the black fire of the Demon Lord hit the wall, the black fire was bounced back

(The highest type of barrier magic, Reflection Barrier!) (Makoto)

Returning the spell of the enemy just as it is. It is the most difficult barrier magic.

The Great Sage-sama used it perfectly as if it were nothing.

“I am lacking the mana right now, you see. I can only use these kinds of stingy spells.” 

The Great Sage-sama mutters this in dissatisfaction.

A Reflection Barrier should be a Saint Rank spell though…

Zagan resumed his attacks on Sakurai-kun.

Looks like the Great Sage-sama and I are being left for later. 

“Let’s get in his way for a bit.” 

The Great Sage-sama says this and shoots a Monarch Rank Fire Spell, Phoenix.

The Demon Lord avoids it as if finding it annoying.

Sakurai-kun is somehow managing to endure the attacks.

“Kuku…that Demon Lord should be concentrating his aim at the Light Hero already. He is getting confused about who he should be attacking.” 

I heard the amused voice of the Great Sage-sama.

She says this, but the attacks of the Great Sage-sama are not dealing fatal damage. She is continuously shooting spells that can be registered as damage. 

There’s no doubt it is annoying to the Demon Lord.

“Is it not done yet, Spirit User-kun?” 

“…Need around…3 more minutes, I think.” (Makoto)

I continue gathering mana. 

Sakurai-kun is concentrating on diverting the attacks of the Demon Lord.

I don’t think he will be losing with that.

The stalemate continued for a while and…my preparations finished.

Alright! 

I should be able to do it with this mana!

“Great Sage-sama!” (Makoto)

“Finally!” 

I called the Great Sage-sama, and she responded with happiness mixed in her voice.

I activated the spell.

“Water Magic: [Water Generation].” (Makoto)

What I did after gathering a massive amount of mana wasn’t even to use elementary magic, it was to generate water.

I simply made water with the mana.

Far above the skies, higher than the pitch black clouds. 

“Great Sage-sama! Please do something about the clouds!” (Makoto)

I called the Great Sage-sama, and urged her to do the next step.

“Clear up.” 

The Great Sage-sama raised her voice, and an opening was made in the pitch black clouds.

The opening might be a bit smaller than when I did it. 

“Tch, I am not good with brute force methods like this.” 

The Great Sage-sama complains, but this is plenty enough.

Light shines down from the small opening in the clouds.

But it isn’t the little bit of light like before.

It is the concentrated light of all the light in about 20km.

“I am surprised you can create something like that, Spirit User-kun.” 

“……”

The amazed voice of Great Sage-sama reached my ears, but I couldn’t answer because I am controlling the Spirit Arm and the spell.

But even I could see it from the opening of the clouds.

The giant water lens of around 10km in radius I made with water magic.

◇Sakurai Ryosuke POV◇

Create a lens with water magic to gather the light

That was the plan of Takatsuki-kun.

There was a method like that?! 

But it is most likely not a well known method in this world.

As proof of this, the Great Sage-sama who knows everything was nodding at this as if impressed.

“I agree. Let’s go with that Spirit User-kun.” 

“Please do, Takatsuki-kun!” (Sakurai)

The Great Sage-sama and I agreed to the plan of Takatsuki-kun.

“Alright~.” (Makoto)

Takatsuki-kun was already pumped up, and he raised his blue arm to the sky. 

That face of his was like that of the times when he is about to pull off a prank.

After that, I tried to endure the attacks of the Demon Lord and act as bait. 

It is similar to the time before the Great Sage-sama came. 

But it is different. 

It is a defensive stance with a clear plan behind it. 

The lead of the plan is Takatsuki-kun.

Then there’s nothing to doubt. 

After a while, everything in front of me turned pure white.

And then, I notice that this is actually the light of the sun.

It is here! 

My body is basking in the concentrated light of several kilometers. 

And then, the light was changed into aura by the Light Hero Skill.

Light Hero; the Skill of Savior Abel was activated.

The Demon Lord swung his giant hand.

It is power that could crush the Highland Castle in one hit. 

That amount of power is being swung at me.

Just a few moments ago, I could only evade.

But…

“[Light Shield].” (Sakurai)

I raised my right hand in front of me, and a massive shield appeared in between me and the Demon Lord.

The attack of the Demon Lord was easily blocked.

“GUUUUUUOOOOOHHH!!” 

The Demon Lord roars and unleashes his next attack.

Raging black flames rushed.

But all of them didn’t reach me.

Light continued to shine on me in that time too.

Mana and aura were returning to my body.

I won’t let this chance Takatsuki-kun created for me go to waste. 

(…My body is hot.) (Sakurai)

It is as if I am burning up.

I glance up.

The gigantic water lens of more than 10km in radius that Takatsuki-kun created was gathering the light of the sun here.

At that moment, the light got distorted.

According to Takatsuki-kun, he could hang on for around 1 minute. 

We most likely reached the time limit.

But it is enough.

I have gathered enough sunlight to defeat the Demon Lord.

I chanted the spell incantation that I was taught at the Goddess Church which was apparently used by Savior Abel.

“The angels sing.
Guiding their invaluable lord.
Filling the earth and the heavens with feelings of gratitude.
Let’s celebrate this greatly auspicious day.
Glory to the Goddess high in the heavens.”

“[Sword of the Light Seraph, Uriel]” (Sakurai)

The sword I was holding turned into a sword clad in white fire. 

The giant lion beast of silver fur.

I felt like Zagan quivered there.

The Demon Lord raised a roar once again.

It is lunging my way.

“[Sword of Punishment: Flash].” (Sakurai)

I silently swing my sword.

The arc drawn by the sword looked slow.

With a speed like this, it is going to be avoided by the Demon Lord.

That kind of mistaken thought crossed my mind.

It has stopped.

The wind.

The flow of the clouds.

The sound.

The Demon Lord that was heading my way was frozen in place.

I was the only one who was moving in this frozen world.

And the sword I was swinging slowly shot out a light wave, and it reached the Demon Lord.

The next instant, a massive light pillar was raised and turned into a cross.

The screams of the Demon Lord that were loud enough to make the ground tremble resonated in the area.

    1. And ruin her favorite snack forever!? Of course not! His purity must be protected as a national treasure above even the Light Hero himself!!

      1. Nah, just make a lovers contract, take his virginity herself and it should be all good! The world building should allow that!

    2. Sunlight convergence laser weapons are included in the template since it’s easy to make(with magic of course) and use~

  1. Thanks for the chapter!

    So Great Sage-sama fighting style is more of a support huh. But looking at how dissatisfied she is about her mana, it seems she could do a great offensive magic if she wants to. I wonder how that would looks like.

    Great Sage-sama gets stronger than usual when biting Makoto’s neck? Lol she is getting addicted to it that she can’t wait for it

    “Sword of the Light Seraph, Uriel”
    Is that the Sun Country’s Holy Sword? I can’t remember the names of the Holy Swords.

    1. No, it is not the Sun Country’s Holy Sword. It is Geralt who has it.

      Geralt’s sword: Caliburn. The Sword in the Stone wielded by King Arthur.
      Sakurai’s sword: Arondight. The sword of Lancelot, one of the best knight of the Round Table.
      Olga’s sword: Balmung. The sword wielded by Siegfried in The Nibelungenlied .
      Leonard’s sword: Ascalon. The sword used by Saint George to slay the dragon, named after the city Ashkelon.
      Maximilian’s sword: Clarent. The sword wielded by Mordred, the son of King Arthur.

    2. Sakurai once said he doesn’t have the sword Abel used, this one just gathers light. So maybe its like, the name of the spell?
      Still a Holy Sword though

    3. Uriel is the name of an angel and according to the context of this series, he probably borrowed a servant of Sun Goddess Althena to kill the demon lord similar to how Makoto used Eir’s powers to kill Shuri in Wood Country (those devouring cherubic angel babies).

  2. Now the stupid pope won’t be able to say anything about makoto and Furiae
    If he still want to lock them up that means he is definitely on the demons side or irremediably stupid in which case I’ll demand death penalty

      1. Who was it that said something like “nothing is more dangerous than an incompetent commander”
        The pope been able me of the 3 heads of the sun country makes him more dangerous than the demon lord

      1. Didn’t the holy gods of water fire wind and light approved of him?
        If he has blind believe in them he shouldn’t be antagonizing him.
        Most likely he just hate them (makoto and devil kin) for personal reason.

  3. Thanks for the chapter 😀
    I was hoping he’d use water to condense light for Sakurai T^T Their compatibility is perfect! Best friends!

  4. So giant magnifying lense huh… is he trying to parboil Sakurai? Can Sakurai be burned by the sun actually?

    So, to Takki-dono trying new and inventive spells to combat giant demon lords with near unimaginable strength is on the same level as a prank huh?

    Or should that be; what kind of pranks did he pull, that creating unique magical spells to take on demon lords of near unimaginable strength is on the same level?

  5. Stupid spoiling asshole ruined the strategy for me, but still, cool solution. Supercharge Sakurai with SCIENCE!
    And also light.

    Good job, [RPG Player]! That was about to be a dying mentor sacrificial scene, wasn’t it? Terrible. Wonder if Ira saw the Great Sage dying briefly?

    Being buddies with the chosen hero has perks in moments like these.

  7. Can someone tell me a series similar to this? It is unexpectedly good. From the top of my mind some similar novels i would say are Trash Brave which is meh and Sevens which i think its really good so far.

    So, anyone has any other Novels similar to Weakest Mage?

    1. You might already know about it, but the most similar novel to this is definitely Konosuba. Other than the fact that it focuses more on comedy, rest of the details are almost identical.( But the Goddess of the Axis cult is useless compared to Noah though). It might not be what you wanted, but I’d like to recommend “Everyone else is a Returnee”. It’s a great read for an isekai..

    2. Best I can do is recommend isekai novels I like so here goes. Seirei Gensouki is great if you can put up with a protagonist with the personality of microwave chicken. Trash but my favourite kind of trash.
      The Eminence in Shadow is an amazing and hilarious read if the Misunderstandings tag doesn’t cause you to flinch nonstop and you aren’t looking for a… morally sound protagonist.
      The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker, I love it so much I am blind and in denial to the plot holes it is riddled with.
      Finally, Strongest Dull Prince’s Battle for the Throne- not isekai but legitimately one of my favourite reads- any lover of the fantasy genre should pick this up.

      Hope my recommendations are okay!

      1. The Eminence in Shadow is great. But i feels like that that one doesn’t have any actual plot advance. Honestly for me, story wise it feels like Detective Conan. Where the actual enemy shows up for a while before vanishing for few chapters before finally coming back only to vanish again. Still, great one of a story.

    3. Omniscient Readers Viewpoint I’d say is quite similar in terms of the MC not being the MC (eg Sakurai being the classic protagonist even if Makoto is the MC) beut it’s more of a survival-stage type novel (stats, sponsor gods and clearing stages) rather than a whole fantasy world type situation, MC who’s not classically strong or talented like Makoto but plays to his strengths. Definitely a good read although it’s sometimes a lil bit convoluted but then again it wouldn’t be an LN if it wasn’t ahaha. It also has a shared universe with World After The Fall and a little cameo from the MC of that Novel near the end.

  8. RPG-san is trying to keep all his harem members alive. 🙂

    But seriously is Makoto’s fame going to be alright after this? Great Sage and Sakurai won’t give all the credit to Makoto would they like Rosalie and Max did in Wood Country. BTW Sakurai is too good natured to use underhanded tactics compared to Makoto.

    Sakurai used Taunt on Zagan.
    Zagan focused attention on Sakurai.
    Makoto is gathering energy.
    Makoto used Hydro Cannon.
    Great Sage used Fire Phoenix.
    Zagan received little damage.
    Makoto used Mirror Coat.
    Great Sage used Sunny Day.
    Sakurai used Protect.
    Sakurai has finished gathering energy due to Sunny Day.
    Sakurai used enhanced SolarBeam.
    Zagan has been defeated.

    Is probably how the battle happened in Makoto’s gamer head lol.

  9. seems Athena owe Noah and Makoto a big deal Now, that includes Ira too, looking at Makoto he probably have no wish which probably will make Athena interested in him.

  10. Ehh~, I don’t know enough about lents and the science behind, but I’m gonna asssume that’s possible and if not then is thanks to magic. I’m glad that Makoto stayed with his albino loli wife, I really hope that even after lost his v his blood will still be the most delicious to her.

  11. Thanks for the great chapter!!(≧▽≦)
    Yeah Makoto, defeat them by adding science to magic! Sakurai is literally hot right now, lol. He’s literally a high level solar panels.
    I wonder how if the great sage or Rosalie can open a gate that connects to a area in space near the sun towards Sakurai, can he become super powerful?
    Still… Can’t beat Great sage sama treating her best blood like a sports drinks except very delicious. Still I can’t imagine how non virgin blood taste for the great sage, she only said that it awful.

  12. I talked about hoping for a magnifying lens a few chapters back and it actually happened ;^;
    This is the second time my concerns and wishes came true regarding a really obscure thought, which is golden.
    Thank you for the chapter.

  13. Thanks for the chapter.

    I really enjoy that Makoto does really grandiose things that sets things up so others can finish off the enemy.

  14. thanks for chap
    where are all the mecha fans? a solar beam concentrated by lens you know??
    i just realized another op power of RPG,no regrets- it gives a warning at situations where they would make regrettable choices.

    MC spoiling fantasy world by introducing science.BTW do they have lens there ? like is there any character with glasses? i Can’t remember.

    Now i’m guessing pope will say ‘mc hindered light hero while he was killing demon lord ‘ and throw a tantrum.Seriously he’ll become a gag character ignored by all, then 1. redeems and acknowledges mc(chances low) 2. 3rd rate villain who will try to sabotage/kill mc

  15. Heh the Great Sage treats Makoto like a sports drink or beer after a long day. Then she refuses to also drink Sakurai’s blood despite the situation they’re all in because it’s too blech-y.

    Ha! Zagan just activated the Great Sage’s trap card, Mirror Force.

    But anyways Zagan really felt like an underwhelming boss fight. Like he pretty much only had two attack methods: spamming long range magic attacks and a paw slam. Also his combat AI sucked. He focused only on Sakurai despite the very obvious massive buildup of mana of Makoto’s and being constantly peppered with magic attacks doing chip damage that was accumulating. He didn’t even change his fighting tactics one bit. The devs need to redo this boss fight.

    So Makoto basically used magic to make water into a lens like it’s a magnifying glass that a kid would use to burn ants. Honestly did he really even need Sakurai for this? Just concentrate all that light into a laser and fry Zagan’s ass with it.

    Anyways now Zagan’s dead and there’s no way that Sakurai and the Great Sage will take all the credit and instead will be truthful about how much Makoto helped. The shitty pope will probably still try to have him and Furi arrested for some BS reason. Meanwhile I also can’t wait to see the look on that Ponkotsu Goddess Ira’s face when her prediction all turned out false because of Makoto.

  16. The aftermath:
    The Pope and some of the sh!itty nobles will only mentions Sakurai accomplishment and diss off Makoto’s saving the Hero and his plan to defeat the Demon Lord.

    They cannot accept such a low rank mage will overtaking the glorious battle yet on this century to Light Hero, in which it will pave way to the scholars of the future which of the Hero’s should take the lime light of glory in the history after the first Light Hero Abel.

    They cannot, in any way to accept the achievement of Makoto here, if they do, the number 1 spot of Highland will not be anymore…

    On the other hand, Makoto was not interested in those stuff.

    For us, we want the continuation of Mutual Understanding of Furi-san and Makoto, so that she will officially in the inner harem of Makoto…. (i just hope more Pantsu shots service from Furi-san in the future)

  17. Thanks for the chapter. Seems my earlier prediction was a bit off. Still, using water as a lens to concentrate sunlight into Sakurai was a good game plan from Makoto. The two of them are truly the dream team, combining ingenuity and strength. Props also to the Great Sage for her support despite her exhausted state. Let’s see what sort of reaction will Ira and the Pope have after the Evil God Apostle they antagonized proved instrumental in saving the day. I have a feeling that the Pope at least won’t take it well, and he might end up doing something stupid like setting Alex after Makoto.

  18. Thanks for the chapter.
    They said Water magic is the weakest yet It is the most versatile and the most useful to help the light hero…

  19. Thank you for the chapter~!

    Makoto made a water lens, too bad he can’t use it as a satellite cannon.

    Also, what’ll be the pope and ira’s reaction after this?

  20. Merry Christmas Rei Sensei~!
    This is my first comment and I need to say, I really appreciate the work and time you’ve put here, your efforts bring joy am deeply grateful for it. Thank you for all your hard work!! Here’s to a happier and brighter future!!! Cheers~

  21. Thanks for the chapter.

    By the way “The Great Sage-sama normally doesn’t act at night due to her being a vampire.”, “吸血鬼である大賢者様は、本来なら昼間は外で活動をしていないはず。”, shouldn’t it be something along the lines of “The Great Sage-sama normally doesn’t act outside during the day due to her being a vampire.”?

  22. There are questions to be raised about blood flavor here. First of which would be, does the flavor deteriorate proportionate to the amount of partners? Because that’s something common between Sakurai and Johnny, who also share the “worst tasting blood” award. Second and more interesting is, what about the taste of the vampire’s own partner? This has never been addressed, but might need to be ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Some things to consider also about Sakurai’s solar powering : does it convert light in a certain range of him or does it only do so for sunlight actually coming into contact with him, and does it depend on the intensity? The latter seems to be confirmed by Makoto’s focusing the sunlight doing something. Seems like Sakurai is just standing still here, facilitated by absurd defenses, so Makoto can focus the sunlight as small as possible because there’s no need to account for motion. And a 20km radius lens is huge, if it, say, focuses light down to a radius of 20 meters? That’s a thousandth the radius, meaning a million times the intensity. One minute of that is worth more sunlight than an entire day of basking in the sun. And honestly probably super overkill even against a Demon Lord.

    Seriously Makoto and Sakurai’s synergy is really good.

    1. Only the light that hits him I guess? Perhaps the army will fight with mirrors 😛

      Also, yeah probably worse taste with more sex partners. Only thing is, isn’t she basically going to be the reason he will stay a virgin? Feels like he will, since his blood will taste bad then

    2. Oh right, about the vampires partner, I think the blood will taste even better than virgin blood probably? So, I do hope for that

  23. I find it weird how water is considered the weakest element. What about wind? You cant do much damage with wind (the trope of cutting stuff with wind is very impractical, its far easier to cut things with high pressured water, which is actually used to cut diamonds irl). Wind should be the weakest element, not water.

    1. Damn right! A friend of mine almost severed his fingers using that high pressure water cutter while working the line at the local nappy/diaper factory.

    2. No way, there is soo much winder all over the place. I think you could just increase the pressure with the wind locally, perhaps you could crush shit with that. Also, when you cut things with water jets, I think sand or other abrasives are included in the water, so not pure water. Ofc, he can just scoop up dirt and keep it in the water probably. Given hoo much air there is, always, above you even on the ocean… No I think wind is better. Feels so for me anyway. Makoto still can’t, or doesn’t understand ( he should know this since, Earth science…) that the atmosphere has TONS of water in it, if he could just use the water in the air he would be somewhat stronger. Well, before he got that arm anyway

      1. You can’t cut shit with just air, but water is literally used to cut diamonds. If this was realistic, all wind magic would be able to do is push things or make things fly at best. Wind has zero attack potential other than maybe using wind to hit the target with debris. Tornadoes are deadly not cuz the wind cuts things or anything, the thing that will kill you is flying debris or the fall.

        1. the problem with water magic is either you need a lot of mana to make it damaging or super fine control of mana to make it technical. Both is what make’s makoto’s water magic OP. Average water mage can’t even make the “lifelike” dragon, butterflies etc. Now i don’t know how people use wind magic but since we can see once that it was applied on the sword to make wind slash, we can assume the wind magic is practical for increasing sharpness or fly. Hence why it was usefull from the get go (seems like the logic of this magic world is rock = hard, fire = burning, wind = cut, water = wet)

    3. Well I mean… If you can control air, why not just make it move out of the way to create a void space. Void magic seems pretty op to me tbh.

  24. Meh, it’s not fun with Sakurai, an MC that is too OP is just not fun all the times. I much prefer the strugglers. Not Makoto, he relies too much on external means though, but it is kind of okay since his prof. is so high and he trains himself atleast 12 hours a day, so it feels more okay. Makoto with Solar Lense and Light Hero is an OP mix. Too bad Sakurai is male, otherwise MC could kissy kissy and become even stronger than the Light Hero probably.

    I wonder how much creds Makoto will get compared to Sakurai^^ Also, I hope the pope gets fucked

    1. EY! Can’t he just make a big ass lense again but focus it even more? He could tweak it and probably get something almost like a laser…
