The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Me and my senpai are the vanguard.

Kazuki supports the rear guard and we face the Demon King.

The opponent is a Demon King who does not know what he will do with his magic.

We can't afford to be complacent in the face of such an opponent, but we still have a hard time with the number of moves he makes.

"Both of you, use my magic as a foothold!

Kazuki manipulates a large number of magic bullets and places them around us.

They move separately to predict our movements, allowing us to move not only on the ground but also in three dimensions.

"So, you have removed the power of extinction from light magic and given it physical elasticity. You are very dexterous."

The King is impressed by the magic bullets floating around him.

Some of them are headed toward the king, and are obliterated by a spell he casts.

"It doesn't mean that there isn't also annihilation magic in them!"

Of course I understand.

The magic is lined up around them, and separate attacks are unleashed from all of them.

We move forward, facing not only Kazuki's magic bullets, but also those powerful enough to obliterate even those of us around us.

"Healing Magic Bursting Palm!"

The shockwave dispels the fire magic.

As soon as he lands, he unleashes a healing flying fist at the Demon King standing about 10 meters away.

OLLA!

That's not enough!

But even the healing flying fist is obliterated by the Demon King's simple swipe of his hand.

......!　I guess I'm still weak if I don't hit him directly!

As you prepare for the Demon Lord's next attack and try to move out of the way, a purple light appears at the edge of your vision.

"Thunderbolt mode 3, fire strike!

With a flash of purple light, the magic the Demon Lord is wearing shatters, and an older student appears beside him with his sword outstretched.

"You are fast! There had never been such a lightning wielder before he was sealed.

Thank you very much!

The Demon King turns and swings his sword in rapid succession, catching it with the magic that floats in his palm.

You are a man of fighting skills and magic, a man of valor, indeed!

"How dare you say that after you so lightly defended against it!"

He kicked the demon king's invisible armor and leapt backward, swinging his sword and firing a crescent-shaped electric shock.

The Demon King sees this and easily avoids to the side, but... I am there.

"Don't forget I'm here!

---!"

The Demon King ducks and hits me back with his right hand, which is wrapped in elasticity.

The basket hand, which is impervious to magic, can repel the electric blasts and even Kazuki's light magic. ......!

This is it...,

"Healing Counter!"

Another weird trick!

The electric shock is repelled at close range and strikes the Demon Lord directly.

It scatters an intense light in front of his eyes, but it soon converges on the Demon Lord's outstretched palm.

"You are not the only one who can manipulate electric blasts, you know?

!

The Strike of Lightning!

Electric blasts converged in my palm are shot at me.

I raised my fist to repel the lightning once more, and my senpai intervened between me and the demon king, cutting through the lightning with the sword he had drawn.

"Thank you!"

"We can't defeat him if any one of us is missing!　Let's work together more!

"Yes, sir!"

He puts his hand on his senpai's shoulder to restore his strength.

After that, he lightly throws a healing magic bullet to Kazuki, who is standing behind him.

"Kazuki!

Thank God!

Kazuki receives the magic bullet with a snap, and we resume our attack on the Demon Lord.

Kazuki's magic bullet cancels out the Demon Lord's magic, so we can concentrate on the Demon Lord alone!

Ferrum, let's go!

>

His left arm and leg are wrapped in the same armor as the black knight.

I accelerate at once by the elastic step, spreading magic power throughout my body, and slam my right fist into the invisible wall that surrounds the Demon King.

"NEA!"

"---I can't!　That's not the same magic I saw before!

"You're a very basic sorcerer, remembering even the liberation spell."

"Hee!"

Nair hides behind me on top of my shoulders under the demon king's gaze.

Then, the sword that Senpai wielded comes at me, but it is blocked by the Demon Lord's armor.

"---Usato!　Can't we destroy it somehow!

I'll try!

I approach the Demon Lord once again, escaping from his grasp.

He is not going to let me get close to him, but... Kazuki's light magic flies toward the Demon Lord with the power of annihilation.

"Now!　Usato!

Yes!

Between me and light magic, the latter is the greater threat!

As the Demon Lord deals with the light magic, I strike once more with the Healer's Fist.

One impact --- but he can't hit me continuously, so this time I slam my left fist, which is surrounded by black magic power, and hit him with a series of fist blows.

There is no room in my fist for the next barrage of blows.

"So!　I'll do this!"

Before the Demon King can turn his palm toward you, he hits the same spot with a knee kick and a spinning kick using the same outburst of magical power as the Rengage Fist.

With four blows and the impact of magic power, the magical armor that had enveloped the Demon King is finally shattered.

"You are more troublesome than a brave warrior!

Senpai, now!

At the sound of my voice, the senior, holding his sword as if he were carrying it on his shoulder, is covered in purple electric shocks.

She lowers herself and accelerates as if to leap, disappearing from my sight in an instant.

"Lightning sword, Weitora!"

"!!!"

The next moment after the Demon King activates some kind of magic, the sword that Senpai wielded slices right through the Demon King.

No, he made it look like he had cut him open.

"......It doesn't seem to be working......!

I hear the senior mutter.

On the other hand, Nair and Ferrum look relieved.

>

"You did it!　Even the Demon King got his head chopped in half!

No!　Not yet!

Ferrum and Nair are happy, but I quickly run out of the way.

What are you doing?

Nair!　A binding spell!

What?　Why are you...?"

>

Amako, who seemed to have a premonition, gives instructions to the bewildered pair.

I raised my fist and hit the empty space with all my might.

With a momentary distortion of space, an unscathed Demon Lord appears, receiving my fist.

Illusions don't work on me!

"It was reported that you nullified the Third Legionnaire's magic. ...... I see... So that means you have a strong resistance against spiritual attacks.

"I don't understand ......!"

"As I thought, your existence is more troublesome than that of a brave man. Usato.

A spell is deployed from his other hand.

Amako's foreknowledge and her own intuition caused the Demon Lord to smile with amusement as he backed away instantly.

"It's inappropriate, but I guess that means I'm enjoying this battle too.

In that instant, the Witch King conjured a vision for all the people in the room.

If we had not been immune to the illusion, we might have been caught unawares by the Demon Lord's presence.

After all, can he do anything? ......!

"Now, let's get creative..."

What the...?

The Demon King activates some kind of magic.

As soon as he backs away, a crack of light runs out from under his feet.

They run across the floor, walls, and ceiling of the room... and then break into blocks and float up.

"You manipulated space ......!　Kazuki!　Senpai!"

I'm okay!

Me too!

Senpai appears, cutting the block between them in half.

Kazuki comes riding on a board of light magic.

"Usato, your feet are floating too!

I know!

I know!" My feet float up, too.

I jump from one to the other, floating in the air like a puzzle, and check the figure of the Demon Lord.

When he sees me, he moves his fingers lightly to control something.

>

"Up ......?"

I look up at the sound of Amako's voice and see a block about to crush my location.

I jump to the next block in a panic, but an even bigger block falls on me, as if it had anticipated my jump.

"No!　Usatousato, usatousato!　Do something!

>

>

I put strength into my legs as I hear Nair on my shoulder and Ferrum screaming inside.

There's no need to avoid that one.

With the combined strength of Bulrin and I, this is nothing compared to a chunk of rock!

"Bullynnn!"

>

With his arms reflecting the power of Bullyn, he catches the block that is right in front of him.

The sheer mass of the block sends my feet crashing to the ground, but with the combined power of Bulrin and I.......................,

"Nuh-uh ......!"

"Well, that's just great!　I'm not sure if you're even human anymore, but you're amazing!"

"Did you think you could crush me like this, demon king?

He hurls himself at the Demon Lord with all his might!

The Demon Lord, faced with a huge block flying toward him, lightly brushes his hand away and moves it out of the way.

"Kazuki!　Usato-kun!"

He checks his senpai's eyes as he kicks the block, and guesses his intention.

In order to prevent the Demon Lord from gaining any more advantage, he attacks at once and defeats the Demon Lord.

"In order to do so, we have to destroy the magic that the Demon Lord wears.

But they won't let us touch them easily anymore, will they?"

I nodded at Nair's voice, using the block as a foothold.

I've already broken the spell the demon king wears twice, so there may not be a next time.

To be honest, I haven't figured out how to get close enough to destroy it myself, but..,

"FERM."

<<< What?　I have a bad feeling about this.

"I have an idea."

Nair at my shoulder turns pale as I mention the strategy I came up with after seeing Ferrum's dark magic.

"No!　I'm going to die!　Are you sure?　Even so!"

<

<

"I know you're all enemies!　Just do it!　Do it!

Still, he seems to have made up his mind, slapping me on the cheek and telling me so.

Well, then, let's get to work. ......!

"I'll get the foothold in the air!"

Kazuki, riding on a board of light magic, makes a large number of magic bullets into disks and places them around the Demon King.

All of them are elastic magic bullets that can be touched.

"Ooh!"

Then, I land right in front of the Demon Lord... and immediately cross my arms, releasing a shockwave of healing magic light and shockwaves from my upper body to the front of my body.

"Enhanced Healing Blindness!"

No!

The Demon Lord is frightened, as if he didn't expect to be blinded.

He catches my fist by surprise and slams it into his stomach with fire magic.

"Guha......!"

I slam my back into the adjacent block.

It was a bursting type of flame, so it neither penetrates nor burns.

As I get up, healing myself with healing magic, the Demon Lord turns his palm toward me, which is radiating magic light.

"You may be multi-talented, but then...?

The Witch King would have noticed immediately.

The dark magic that was supposed to be wrapped around me is gone.

But by the time he realized it, it was too late!

Nair!　Now!

What's ......?

I'm going to get you!

At the sound of my voice, Nair, clad in a dark magic black outfit, moves in behind the Demon Lord and releases his spells with a liberation spell.

"Why am I doing such a dangerous thing?

Nair, a dark-haired, red-eyed girl, is whining with teary eyes, but she really did a good job!

>

>

<>

"This is so loud, isn't it?

The demon king shoots a heat ray from his fingertip toward Neah.

Just before it hits, Nair transforms into an owl, and Ferrum also turns into a mud-like state with dark magic to avoid the heat ray by separating from it.

Ferrum and Nair return to me, protected by Kazuki's magic bullets.

"Usato!　You owe me this!

"Yeah, you did a great job!　Now you've destroyed the troublesome magic!　---Senpai!　Now!

Kazuki made a foothold and we destroyed the magical armor the Demon Lord was wearing.

On top of one of the moving blocks in midair, the figure of Senpai appears, holding his sword.

"Kannagi-ryu. Raiden Inubashiri."

Her head is held low like Nagi's, her whole body is charged with purple lightning, and as soon as her eyes widen, she disappears from the scene in an instant.

"---"

A distinctive metallic sound echoes from the direction of the Demon Lord.

Looking at the Demon Lord who is floating in the air using magic as a shield, you see the figure of your senpai, who has swung his sword out of his hand.

As if a single blow wasn't enough, the figure of the older man is drowned out again with a violet light.

"You're fast, after all. ......!"

The Demon King deploys his magic to protect himself while bleeding from the wound on his left arm.

At the same time, with a sound like a continuous roar of electric shocks, the magic bullets placed by Kazuki are kicked away, destroying the Demon Lord's magic one after another.

"d*mn ......!"

Even my eyes can only catch a faint glimpse of this overwhelming speed, and the Demon Lord can't even keep up with it.

After destroying the sorcery and slashing the Demon Lord's body one after another, Senpai slams a kick with all his might into the Demon Lord's chest, and at the same time, he lands on the ground while somersaulting.

"This is the end, ......!"

The sword is now filled with more electric shocks than ever before.

She grips the sword in her backhand, which shines brightly, and pulls it out with a shi-electricity blast.

"Shin, Kaminarigiri!"

There was a flash of light and the sound of something being cut open.

The light was so bright that my eyes were dazzled and my vision flickered for a while, but then I heard something like water falling.

Senpai!""Senpai!""

Kazuki's voice overlaps with mine.

Did you defeat the Demon King?　What do you think!

The light quickly fades away, and there is..,

"......!"

"......"

There was a senior figure who had slammed his sword into the demon king's shoulder.

The Demon King's shoulder was cut deeply by the blade, and blood was gushing out, which meant that Senpai's technique had hit the Demon King directly.

However, the wound was too shallow (...).

"That was close."

"...... what,...... did you do?"

The Demon King, who is cut by the sword, calls out to his senpai, whose expression is distorted, in a calm voice.

---!　The magic is in your body!

That is ......!

"A binding spell!

>

The sword, which was swung so fast that even my eyes could not catch it, stopped when it sliced the demon king's shoulder, and both the sword and the body of the senior who was holding it were stopped by magic.

As Kazuki and I tried to help Senpai, the block started to move with great force before we could, splitting us and Senpai who had been captured by the Demon Lord.

"---That's the third time."

"Hey ......!"

"If you show us that much, we can take any number of countermeasures. I had to do it this way to stop them.

Not good. ......!

The Demon King's hand is directed toward Senpai.

He manages to jump over the block to get to her, but before he can do so, the Demon Lord's magic strikes Senpai's body.

The demon king's body is bounced by the magic, and the senior falls to the ground like a doll without power.

"Ferrum!

>

He extends a line of dark magic from his hand and pulls the falling senpai toward him.

Holding him by both arms, he casts a healing spell to completely heal his wounds, but his body is covered with layers of magical patterns.

"You avoided a direct hit. You have indeed shown great talent in battle.

"The Demon King ......!"

Can you fight with such a slow learner in your arms?

The Demon Lord turns his palm toward us and extends a translucent chain.

As I tried to avoid them while holding my senpai in my arms, Kazuki released a disk-shaped magic bullet that sliced through the chains.

"Usato!　Take care of senpai while you still can!

"Thank you!"

As I ran out of the room, I looked at my senpai's condition and saw that his body was covered with chain-like magic and a pattern that reminded me of fire.

He is conscious but in no condition to move.

"He barely escaped a direct hit, but he was hit by several magic spells at the same time: binding, fire-poisoning, restraining, and sore body. In this battle, the lightning heroes will be of no use at all.

"......nea!"

He ignores the voice of the demon king who speaks to him during the battle and asks Nair to look at him, but when he sees her grim expression, he realizes that it is impossible to break the spell in this battle.

"I don't think it's possible to break the spell in this battle. Now what do we do?"

"You!

...... the hero of light.

Kazuki, enraged by his senpai's death, begins to attack the Demon Lord, unleashing light magic.

---We have to do something while Kazuki is buying time.

Kazuki quickly lands on a nearby slow-moving block, and lowers his senpai to the floor by supporting his back.

"Usato-kun, don't worry about me, let's get Kazuki-kun to ......."

"......"

"Usato-kun ......?"

The Demon Lord is right, Senpai cannot fight.

I might be able to manage with Nair's liberation spell, but in the meantime, either Kazuki or I will be defeated by the Demon Lord.

---I can't fight the Demon Lord...should I take the bait and let Senpai and Kazuki escape?

"...... what's up?"

Ferrum calls out to me as I'm trying to think of a way to keep everyone alive except for me.

She sounds somewhat reluctant to say anything, but her voice is determined.

"And the sudden abuse ......!　I'm so weak!"

<

Is he trying to finish off his senpai?

I wait for FERM's next words as I watch him writhing in agony, unable to move.

With these words, he finally understands Ferme's intentions.

At the same time, my backward-looking thoughts change.

<

"Yeah, yeah. "Yeah, that's right."

I take a deep breath while holding my senior.

I let go of the stupid thoughts I had just had.

"Sorry, Bulrin. You're up."

"Guh."

A de-assimilated Bullyn emerges from my body.

"It's not safe from here on out, so stay away."

"Gua!"

"Yeah, I'll make it back alive."

I caress the cheek of Bulrin, who nods vigorously.

Seeing him like this, Senpai looks at me involuntarily.

"What, Usato-kun?　This here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here, this here.

"Senpai. Of course, your heart is not broken, is it?"

"Oh, yes!　Of course I am!

Yes! ...... ferme, please.

>

Senpai is enveloped in black magic power and assimilates with me.

At the same time as I have switched places with Bulrin and become one of hers, I find that I am holding in my left hand the sword that she had been holding in hers.

The sword begins to emit electric shocks and light as if it were resonating with the cage on my right arm.

"Let's go full throttle!"

At that moment, electric shocks start pouring out of my body.

It's the same phenomenon as in Thunder Beast mode.

Wrapped in the magic that my senpai is activating inside me, I run out to the Demon King for one last battle.
