The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 167: Full Power 2

Translated by AmaLynne

“—Wha!”

As Sam vanished, the Sword Saint’s eyes widened.

Despite his exceptional visual acuity, he couldn’t track Sam’s movements.

“You’re wide open.”

Sam, who had been hiding within Kurando’s reach, swung his fist.

“Damn—”

Before Kurando could react, Sam’s fist pierced into his abdomen.

The explosively enhanced physical capabilities were unlike anything before.

Empowered by the combined magical power of both, Sam’s strike dealt damage deep within Kurando’s body.

“—Kaah”

Kurando grimaced in pain, spitting out blood. Yet, true to his status as the Sword Saint, he swung his sword horizontally despite his condition.

However, Sam’s fingers effortlessly caught hold of the blade.

“…Foolish.”

Kicking Kurando’s stomach again, Sam sent him airborne.

As Kurando floated through the air, Sam pointed his index finger at him, grinning childishly.

“—Bam”

In an instant, the highly condensed crimson magical power transformed into a beam of light and shot out.

Twisting his body in midair, Kurando managed to evade Sam’s strike in the nick of time.

However, the dojo behind him was sliced apart and exploded by the crimson flash of light.

“…Impressive.”

Landing on the ground, Kurando praised Sam with a reddened mouth.

“Normally, having two sets of magical power that are beyond the standard, and each being an extraordinary magical power at that, would be impossible. Yet you control them simultaneously. No, are you fusing them into one?”

“Well, something like that.”

“Your body-enhancing magic is far stronger than before. Furthermore, it’s even more troublesome that you can unleash an advanced attack magic-level strike without any preliminary movements or incantations.”

“For now, that’s the extent of it. Ur’s magical power is too strong, and I might end up involving everyone. But it’s more than enough to kill you.”

Kurando’s speculation wasn’t wrong.

To be more precise, Sam was combining his magical power with Ur’s magical power.

Thanks to this, he could use not just double the magical power, but well over double.

The body-enhancing magic, fueled by an immense amount of magical power, surpassed the Sword Saint’s movements. Moreover, simple magical power barrages brought tremendous destructive power.

However, it was exhausting and difficult to control.

“—Hu, hufu, hahahaha”

“Having fun?”

While coughing up blood, Kurando laughed joyously. In response, Sam also laughed.

“Yes, I’m having a great time. It’s the first time I’ve felt this close to death.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll finish you off.”

“Hahahaha, hahahahahahaha!”

Amidst laughter, Kurando closed in on Sam and swung his sword.

His strikes were faster and more powerful than ever.

It was evident that Kurando was giving his all.

However, Sam effortlessly dodged and deflected all his attacks, and in turn, unleashed a series of punches and kicks followed by consecutive crimson blasts.

The ground cracked, the mansion walls bore gaping holes, and the half-destroyed dojo now lay in ruins.

Sam had become the embodiment of destruction, yet Kurando was not giving up.

He switched between full evasion and seizing the slightest opportunity to swing his sword, exploiting Sam’s surplus magical power.

Sam’s vital areas were targeted—his eyes, forehead, throat, and heart—but Sam evaded and deflected every single attack.

The battle continued without pause.

Kurando switched to full evasion as Sam condensed the crimson flashes of light. Recognizing the danger, even the Sword Saint focused solely on avoiding attacks.

As Sam released the flashes, he kicked off the ground.

The ground caved in, and Sam disappeared once again.

“—Ku”

Kurando, losing sight of Sam once more, turned and swung his sword, making a full rotation to prepare for any direction of attack.

However,

“Too slow.”

Sam had already maneuvered behind Kurando.

Gripping his arm, Sam swiftly performed a decisive move.

“—No-“

“—Kirisakumono”

Sam activated a skill for the first time in this duel.

In the next instant, Kurando’s left arm from the elbow down was severed, soaring through the air.

“Father!”

Mizuki’s scream echoed.

Ignoring her, Sam closed in on Kurando, who had lost an arm, and halted his movements.

“Goodbye, Sword Saint Amemiya Kurando. Say hello to Ur in heaven.”

A hand strengthened beyond its limits by crimson magical power was directed at Kurando’s neck.

“STOPPPPPPPPPP!”

Amidst Mizuki’s desperate scream, Kurando neither despaired nor lamented. Instead, he smiled gently, seemingly content.

“—Kirisakumono”

Without halting his hand, Sam unleashed a horizontal slash.
