SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Chapter 879 Jared Versus Jared [Pt 2]

?

The air grew heavy thanks to the presence of the ultimate creature of darkness that floated with it's massive sickle.

The Ruler Of Death itself.

As it opened its bony jaws, a misty aura that killed everything around it pervaded the summon.

"This is the very embodiment of death. It's even stronger than I was before obtaining Dark Energy, and its concentration of Dark Energy is unrivaled among any other summon." Jared boasted, almost to himself.

He might have gone a little overboard, causing even the area around to start rotting, but if it was to prove his superiority, then it was all worth it.

"Ruler Of Death..." Jared began, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction as he watched his surprised opponent.

"... Kill that man for me."

******

'Amazing!' My thoughts rang as I watched the new summon my counterpart conjured up.

'I have never applied Miasma like this. To think it could also be used this way...'

It was just as I postulated a while back. There were a lot of things in this world that I could learn, even if their Magic wasn't as advanced as I initially thought.

'I'm definitely memorizing all of these things and recording them in my [Great Sage's Memoir].'

There was one issue with the Spells so far, though.

'They're too weak. Even this one is no exception.'

Sure, it was stronger than the previous one, but not by much.

They would both be registered as Advanced Spells in my world. Sure, the Principality would be considered to the on a lower tier, while this one had a high tier, but it certainly wasn't the highest.

After Advanced Spells, there was still the Peak Magic Category, and then the Transcendent Stage.

Also, recently, I had been exposed to the Primordial Realm. It just went to show how big the world really was.

'Compared to that, this is hardly impressive.'

While this world had a lot of unique elements to it, the power level was too low.

"May I ask a question before you begin?" I raised my hand, staring honestly at my doppleganger

Something about the evil grin he wore told me he couldn't wait to tear me to shreds.

"How powerful is the Spell you used to summon this creature?"

According to what Neron told me, they used the 'Star' system to identify the strength of Spells.

From One-Star to Nine-Stars, that was how this place operated.

"It's a Nine-Star Spell. To think you wouldn't understand it even after seeing it. Did I overestimate you?"

"A-ah, I see..."

So, the limit of this world's Magic was the Advanced Grade?

Well, certain Spells... like the ones for Teleporting and the few law-altering Spells I had observed certainly fell above the Advanced Grade, but the way they were applied was too lacking.

They also consumed too much Mana and required a lot of time to prepare, so I couldn't really call them efficient.

'Honestly, if not for the Miasma handicap, I'd say my 12-year-old self could win in a fight with the strongest person here...'

Perhaps I was overstretching it a little, but—

'Ah, here it comes!'

The Ruler Of Death sped through the distance, causing the very air around it to distort as it approached.

Judging by the overlap of energy, and from what I was sensing, it was going to swing its scythe to initiate it's first attack.

The attack would contain an immense amount of Miasma which would naturally kill anyone by inflicting Miasma poisoning.

That was probably why it was called the Ruler Of Death.

Unfortunately for it, though, it wasn't going to work on me.

>WHOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHH!!!<

As expected, it swung it's scythe and directed all the concentrated Miasma at me.

>FSHUUUUUUUUU<

The demonic energy dissolved just a couple of inches from me—yet the effect of my Magic Item.

'Anything below Peak-Level Magic won't work on me.'

In essence, it was probably safe to assume that I was invincible in this world.

"WHAT?! HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?!" I heard the enraged voice of my very clearly confused doppelganger.

Evil Jared was looking like he had just witnessed something completely impossible. His face twisted in utter dismay, and he seemed powerless in his ignorance.

'Sucks to be him...' A wry smile formed on my face.

The only reason I was prolonging this battle was to see what else I could learn from the supposedly most powerful person in this world.

So far, it had been disappointing, but it was possible that his pride prevented him from revealing all his cards.

After all, this was most likely the first time he had been pushed this far despite claiming to have ultimate power.

'Should I rattle him a little...?'

Yeah, that would most likely work. The problem was picking the Spell to use.

'Ah, why don't I mimick him? Yeah, that should do it.'

So far, I had been nullifying his Spells and using a 'mysterious power' he didn't understand. If I spoke in his language when it came to Magic, then perhaps he would be willing to go all-out.

"Alright then..." I began circulating my internal energy.

It wasn't Mana or Aether, though. It was the third kind of energy I had in abundance within myself.

Miasma!

"Kahn, you're up."

A dark shadow erupted from me, and my favorite Demon among the surplus that dwelled within me emerged from it.

His shadow-like body warped until it formed a solid form. Sharp claws for hands, and a spiky shoulder, along with pointed ears that peaked at the top of his head, and then the two eyes that contrasted his black body; all of them became regally evident.

"My Master, you have summoned me..." Kahn muttered with a bow.

The both of us floated in the air, yet he maintain his usual display of reverence.

"Yes, Kahn. You should know what to do, don't you?" I can't my gaze on the dumbstruck Jared that watched what I was doing from his distance.

I wondered what was on his mind, but I decided to simply enjoy what was about to occur instead.

Kahn joined me in looking toward the person he would be facing.

His face cracked close to his jaw, revealing his widening sharp teeth.

"I understand, master. I will do my best."
