“—Temporary Rapid Growth Magic”
It’s a magic that sacrifices your own lifespan to grow your body in one go. When I developed it, I was approaching old age, so it’s only natural that I didn’t use it. I couldn’t sacrifice what little life I had left, and I also had no room for growth in the first place.
This magic is only meaningful when used on a young body. Of course, it only makes the body grow temporarily and the body will return to its original state later.
My limbs, which were short, grow longer and thicker. My shoulders are wider, and my whole body is covered with manly muscles. The clothes I was wearing quickly became smaller and torn. Thanks to that, my crotch was exposed, and I could see that it had also grown to the size of a grown man.
“What do you think Lindwurm? I turned into a cool grown man, haven’t I?”
『Hmm, let’s see… well, you’ve become a complete pervert. 』
I created a mirror and look at my grown-up face. Since this is a new body, my face is obviously different from the previous life.
“Hoho, I look quite handsome.”
The person reflected in the mirror is a young man of about twenty years old. My face has changed a lot from when I am a baby, but I still resembled my mother.
Also, it’s not just the appearance that has changed.
“Mmm!”
I lightly spewed out my magical power, and a storm swept around me.
“Nice. This amount of magical power is comparable to what I had in my prime in the previous life. And…”
Just then, Bahamut, now in dragon form, dived towards me.
『Masteeeeeeeeeeerr!? F-for some reason, you’ve gotten bigger! A-and y-you look so na~keeeed!!!』
“Oop.”
『!?』
I avoided Bahamut with a light sideways jump. Bahamut crashed into the wall behind me.
“Hmm. My explosive power is impeccable. My physique is perfect as well.”
“W-what’s with that appearance……?”
“Here I come, Demon King Alzazeil.”
“~~~~!?”
I instantly dived into his bosom using shrinkage technique and slashed at him. The blow was so powerful that it can’t be compared to the weak strength of a baby, and my slash sliced deep into the Demon King’s flesh.
Of course, it doesn’t end there. I quickly rotated my body, and a second blow sliced through the Demon King’s torso.
“Not done yet!”
“Guaaaaahhh!?”
The barrage of attacks I used (which was taught by the Sword God) did not even allow the Demon King to have a chance to counterattack.
As the pieces of the Demon King’s flesh flew, fresh blood splattered, and his screams echoed. I activated more magic.
“Million Light Arrows!”
Countless arrows of light appeared, one after another, they pierced the Demon King’s back. With slash and magic arrows, it was just like sandwiching the Demon King from the front and back.
There is no escape for the Demon King anymore.
“Guuoooooaaaaaah!!?”
The damage surpasses his vaunted super regeneration ability, so the Demon King’s body is destroyed.
“I-impossible…… This power…… it exceeds what you used to be…… -Uguah!?”
“Of course. I was still very young then when I defeated you.”
The current me possesses both the experience and skills I have acquired over a lifetime and the physical strength of my prime.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….”
Eventually, most of the Demon King’s body disappeared, exposing the heart that was the source of his resurrection.
I grabbed it forcibly and sealed it away once again.
“……Whew. I managed to beat him.”
I exhaled deeply.
I wondered what would happen this time without the hero, but I’m glad that I was able to defeat him safely.
I threw the Demon King’s heart into my subspace for the time being. This time, I need to find a way to make it disappear completely so that event like this doesn’t happen again.
『You just reincarnated but your lifespan has been shortened already. 』
“Fufufu, don’t worry about that, Linlin.”
『……What do you mean? 』
“Meltera succeeded in her rejuvenation magic, so if she could tell me how to do it, I would be able to live forever. Oh right, is Meltera safe!?”
I was immersed in the afterglow of defeating the Demon King, that I belatedly remembered Meltera.
I hurriedly ran to her.
“Good, good. You’re still breathing.”
I immediately casted a healing spell on her, and Meltera, who had been unconscious, woke up.
“Mmm…… w-what about the Demon King!?”
“Rest assured, I’ve defeated the Demon King.”
“Great Sage…… Thank goodne—”
It was then that she finally realized that I had grown from a baby to a young man, and Meltera’s eyes widened.
Fufufu, looks like she’s surprised on how handsome I had become.
『No. Master, she’s just surprised because you’re too perverted. 』
Ah?
The next moment, Meltera shouted.
“Don’t get close to me, you naked bastard!!”
“Bugooh!?”
Meltera’s fist slammed into my lower jaw.
……I forgot I wasn’t wearing clothes.
