The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

A demon appeared in the middle of the meeting.

It took more than a dozen soldiers and delegates present at the meeting hostage.

Each of them had a pen or a sword pointed at their neck, and if they did anything, their lives would be taken instantly.

<>

We were preparing for the devil to come out with uncertain information, but we did not expect him to lurk in the eyes of humans.

Looking into one of the eyes of the representative of the Kingdom of Verinas, the black eye has already returned to its original color.

It does not look as if he had plucked out his eye or anything.

"......"

I close my eyes and check if there are any other suspicious entities in the hall, based on the particles of healing magic spread by the healing blast wave I just threw at them.

......!　Is there anyone in the space where the demon is?

"......"

I see. So that's how it is.

I take stock of the situation, casually put my hand over my mouth, and tell Ferrum and Nair about our plan.

"Manipulation spells. That's a lot of work.

The demon king looked at them with vacant eyes and let out a sigh of exasperation.

When the demon's consciousness turned to the Demon Lord, I looked at Senpai and Kazuki.

"Sit down there, demon king!"

"...... hmm?　You're already sitting down, aren't you?"

"What?　You're still a disgusting monster ......!

Why do you go to the trouble of provoking ......!

The demon's face twists in displeasure as he turns his gaze to Lord Farga.

"I didn't know that a being like you was still living in misery."

"It would be the same for you. You are history's forgotten monster of horror. Or should I say, a pathetic creature with a fat ego to flaunt?

Even Lady Farga is provoking ......!

"If they have forgotten us, we only need to remind them. Either way, you can't interfere with my body."

The demon spun around and glanced around the hall, his face full of confidence.

Then, what did he think? He scattered something like a magic bullet around him and stopped him in mid-air.

"And to top it all off... If you move, the hostages will die, and this magic bullet will fall on you. You can't do anything now, can you?

"Oh, that's a good fear. It's like water seeping into dry sand, and it's full of power. ......!"

The demon is delighted.

After a few seconds of being immersed in the sensation, he grimaces and twists his mouth into a grin.

"My name is Rapdo, the symbol of fear that once ruled the malevolence of mankind, the very fear you have forgotten."

The demon named Rapdo spreads his arms as if to flaunt himself.

"Our purpose here is quite simple: to declare war!"

Declaration of war?

A silver-haired demon with dull hair.

"The demon, the entity that has been terrorizing you, has now returned to the world!　We can come in anywhere!　We can cause anxiety and fear, we can move you, we can make you fight!

Enjoying the consternation and confusion of the delegates, Rapdo's gaze turns to me with my hands on the floor.

"Healing wizard, who calls himself the Devil..."

"......?"

I turn around, but there's no one there.

I turn my head forward, and Rapdo points at me angrily.

It's you!　Who else could it be but you!"

"...... I've never called myself that before. What's the point of humans using your names?"

"~~!"

<

It is from such accusations that rumors spread.

It's only the demons now, but what if it spreads to other races?

...... but it's not good to draw attention to me.

I was impatiently trying to find a way to distract him without looking at my hand on the floor, when suddenly the demon king who was sitting quietly smiles.

"Boring!

"...... what?"

Rapdo looks back at the Demon King's muttering.

It seems that the Demon Lord has gotten his attention.

"Hurry up, Ferrum!"

<>

<>

A line of dark magic crawls across the floor, hiding in the shadows of the table and people.

We try not to be noticed by the demons and stop the hostage-takers with lines and binding spells.

Well, they're caught off guard and saved. .......

"I wondered what you were going to do, and when I lured you out, I was surprised to see that you could be so shallow and try to show off your power. You seem to be under a lot of pressure."

"Wisdom," huh?

I'll tell you what I think you're going to do. ......Yes, you're going to make them afraid of you, aren't you, with all your impossible bravado?　Or try to kill one of us to make an example of us?"

That's the Demon Lord.

Even when he sits down, he looks like he's wasting his time and agitating for nothing. ......!

"Somewhere in this space, lurking in the shadows, there must be a hidden form of witchcraft. Mostly performed by the other demon, you've been crawling around like a rat, picking and choosing your targets to manipulate so that we won't notice your manipulative mind spell. ...... not?"

"You ......, my dear ......!"

"Oh, I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm sorry about that."

Looks like ...... is going to be okay for the time being!

He looks at his hand with the demon king's agitation in his eyes.

Nair, Ferrum!　Hurry up while you still can!

"Are you so brainwashed and maliciously moved that you can't even think straight?　Or are you that weak?"

"......"

"Let me guess, less than a dozen or so?　I guess they must have been destroyed by the last generation of Hisago ...... heroes, huh?"

......Wait, are there really that few demons......?

I've heard that their numbers are dwindling, but fewer than ten is quite a few.

I don't want to hear from you who was defeated by humans in cold blood.

"Oh, so you haven't been defeated?"

Rapdo chuckles.

Not understanding where the smile comes from, he looks around and opens his mouth.

"What difference does it make if they are in the way?　In fact, I'm even feeling better now that there are fewer of them.

"Ha, now that you mention it. You demons have no sense of kinship with us, and we just see you as a bunch of pawns to be kicked out of each other's way. ...... as always, you are pathetic."

...... is almost there.

The Demon King, with his legs crossed arrogantly, looks at Lapdo with a look of satisfaction on his face.

His words draw the gazes of not only Rapdo but also those present.

You have tasted too much of mankind. It is beyond foolishness to think that you do not even understand the reason for your own defeat.

"You say that, ......?

"Well, I guess I'll have to remind you which one of us ......?"

Immediately after the Demon King said these words, the voices of Ferrum and Nair, who have been assimilated, echoed.

>

>

We got 'em all: ......!

With Amako's approval, I take a deep breath and raise my voice.

"Senpai!　Now!"

"I've been waiting for you!　Thunder Beast Mode 3!"

In an instant, the senior member, clad in purple electric shocks, moves.

The demon immediately moves to dispose of the hostage, but the hostage is already under a restraining spell that has been cast through the dark magic that has been creeping across the floor.

It only stops them for a moment, but for Senpai, that opening alone is enough.

"They've all stopped moving!

With a flash of light, the older man knocks the swords and blades held by the hostages out of their hands, paralyzing them with a light electric shock.

The guards immediately notice and seize the hostages to prevent them from going out of control.

The hostages are now safe.

"d*mn it, the magic bullet..."

"I'm sorry, but..."

Before the devil could turn his attention to the magic bullets floating in the air, Kazuki shot multiple magic bullets from his palm, which moved in all directions like living creatures and obliterated all the magic bullets in the hall.

"If you think you can do whatever you want in this place where we are, you are mistaken!"

"You stand in front of me again, brave ......!"

No?　I'm not the one standing in your way.

Kazuki and I look at each other and I run as fast as I can.

Kicking chairs and using a table as a foothold, I make eye contact with representatives from Calm Helio, Nirvarna, and Samaritan.

Princess Nia rolls her eyes in surprise.

Lucas is standing there, unperturbed.

Seeing the smiles of Harold and Ouka, who seem to have found something even more interesting than this, I feel a bit like a fool, but I put priority on what is in front of me for now.

"I already know where it is!"

>

<<>

I heard some disturbing conversation between Amako and Ferrum, but now let's roast the enemy!

He grasps the magic bullet in his hand and sprays magic around him.

"Healing detected!

<>

We already know that they are using some kind of magic to conceal their appearance.

Perhaps it's something that makes it impossible for us to perceive with our five senses, but... there it is!

Particles of magic power reacted to something invisible!

"I can see you, you devil!

--- my magic sensing has firmly found the creature in the empty space!

I feel a robe of dark magic covering my uniform.

>

<>

I pound my fist into the empty space as I hear the Demon King start to laugh for some reason.

Something hits the empty space.

Then a silver-haired demon appears around my fist.

"Gebaaa......, stop messing around!　Leah!　The magic is working..."

"Where are you going?　I wouldn't let you get away with this. ......!"

"Hee, hee!"

He spreads his wings and tries to flee into the sky, but Lapd stretches out a rope of dark magic to grab him by the legs.

"No, not you!"

"Hmph!"

With a single swipe of his arm, he obliterates all of the magic bullets that fly at him, pulls back the rope connected to his leg, and slams his fist into his abdomen.

"OLLA!　Healing fist!

"Gubi!"

He swings his fist toward the floor, releasing a shockwave of magic power and slamming it into the floor.

"Gah! Gah!　Ouch!　Is it healing?　But it hurts!

"You'll never lose consciousness!　Then until you pass out!

"Hush!"

You look down at him, his face contorted with fear, and you are about to strike him with your fist.

His fist closes in on the guy - at that moment, a white whirlpool appears from the side, and someone jumps out.

"What?　New move!

He stops his fist, uses his healing acceleration to change his stance and lands on the floor, and three figures emerge from the white vortex.

"Oh no!　Isn't this interesting!"

"......"

"......"

Three hooded men.

One of them lets out an inappropriately cheerful voice.

"Beth!　Narca!　Disturb us!"

""......""

<<>

Two women who looked like women in black created magic power in their hands and released it at the same time.

As soon as the dark magic covered my ears, something like smoke and sound waves started to flood the area around me.

<>

"You mean the ability for surprise attacks!"

The purpose is to rescue the demon!

Kazuki and senpai's support ...... No, only I and Nagi can move in this smoke!

The magic bullet created in his hand is squeezed and he senses the magic around him.

There!

He releases a healing flying fist from the smoke.

The fist-sized shockwave blows off the white smoke and goes straight for the enemy, striking one of the black-robed men directly in the abdomen.

"Whoooaaa!　He sent out a healing magic!

"He's using his friends as shields ......?　!!!!"

Oh, you're ......

An enemy that appears to be a woman who draws nearby companions to herself and uses them as shields to prevent them.

She is not a demon.

But I sense an atmosphere more troublesome than that of Lapd, so I raise my fist and attack.

"Huh!"

"Hey, we need to talk to the guy at your feet!"

I blocked the movement of the person who was making noise with my healing flying fist.

I raise my fist, and someone in black holds up the hilt of my sword, which is covered with purple magic.

Just as my blow struck the sheath that was cloaked in light..,

"Noooo!"

For some reason, my fist is knocked out of my hand and my body is blown backward.

I was almost blown to the wall of the hall when I was saved by a dark magic extended by Koga, who was standing beside the Demon King.

"Usato, what's wrong?

"I don't know. I don't know... but I was blown away by the impact. ......

I wasn't hurt, but it was as if the impact of the attack itself was returned. ......!

When he saw where the magically created smoke had cleared, he had Rapdo carried by one of the black-clad men.

"Wow, what an impact!　If I hadn't been able to defend myself in time, I might have been in trouble!"

Is there a secret to her magical power?

I stand up with the help of Koga and see one of the black-robed men standing in the hall with a surprised look on his face.

The hood over his face comes off with a shock, revealing his face.

"You are ......

"......ッ"

"Long time no see, Master Lloyd!　Sigurth!　You've aged!　What?　Hasn't it been five years?　Oh, it's me!　Do you remember me?

The exposed face is a lifeless white face.

The vivacious-looking woman with purple hair in a ponytail smiled and waved her hand in an out-of-place manner when she saw the faces of Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Sigurth.

Both Senpai and Kazuki were bewildered by her strange smile and were unable to move.

"Don't tell me she's ......?"

It was the same for me.

Our characteristics matched.

The names of the people who seemed to be his friends.

The woman smiles at me as I roll my eyes in surprise.

You dead bastards, get me out of here!

"......You can't leave him here. ......Oh, yes, you can't. We're leaving now!"

The woman takes out a paper-like object from her robe and uses it to initiate the transition.

By the time they come to their senses, it is already too late, and they disappear from the scene with a flash of light.

"......, you're a scroll!　Mr. Farga!

"Yes, we've found out where they're going. It seems they have already prepared an escape route. They've moved to the opposite shore across the lake from the ...... city and are preparing to make the transition.

"Hmm, we've got the same location."

It seems that both Master Farga and the Demon King have found the same location.

...... No, let's not think about them right now.

I have to do what I have to do now,

What are you doing?

"Yes?"

I nod my head at the Demon Lord's words.

Then he looks at me with a puzzled look on his face.

"Go after him... your ability will allow you to do that, won't it?"

"No, no, but I can't leave here. ......

"Don't worry. They are not already in Mearaq. If you chase after them now, they will escape.　...... and you have a history with them, don't you?"

If there is someone who can use the magic of transmigration, he will escape immediately.

The senior staff member could probably run to the lake right away, but it would be difficult even for her to run across the lake.

She looks at her senpai and then at Leona and sighs loudly.

"......Oh, my God!　You really are a selfish person!　You are!　Amako, Nea, de-assimilate!"

.

<

Amako and Nair jump out of my body.

First, I hold Amako and put her down at the place where Hayate and Nagi are.

"Mr. Nagi, take care of Amako!

I'll take care of her!

Be careful, Usato.

"Ah!　Nair, you're over here!

Am I trapped in that face-like armor again?

I have Néa enter the armor that I have created on her chest, and I reach out to her.

I need his help to move fast.

"Senpai!　Please lend me your strength!

"Okay!　Leave it to me!"

He grabs his hand back and assimilates with his senpai.

I see that her sword has changed into a basket hand on her left arm, and I move in front of the other one---Leona-san.

"Leona-san, I'm going after the demon!　May I ask for your help?

"What?　But ......"

Leona glances at Mr. Norn.

Norn-sama, with a somewhat tired complexion, flips her arms wide and her face becomes somewhat angry.

"Leona, help him!"

"Master Norn, aren't you making decisions too quickly?

"You've just ruined a very busy meeting. You should pay him back. ......More importantly, I'm frustrated because I haven't had enough sleep. ......!"

...... I'll visit Master Norn later to cast a healing spell on him.

I look at Leona with this decision in my mind.

"......Karon, take care of this."

"Yeah, I'll take care of it. Usato, are you in charge?

"Yes, sir!"

Leona grabs the hand I hold out to her.

At the same time, I become one with her, and Mearaq's staff transforms into a leg armor that looks like it is made of ice.

"Good!"

<

>

I'm kind of sorry, Leona. ......!

With her help, I call out to Koga.

"Okay, Coga, be a weapon!"

"No, you can't!"

I'm kidding!　Protect this place!

"Can you stop with the really bad jokes ......?"

At any rate, we can trust Koger, so we'll leave this place to him.

Well, there are other Hyde and others, so I guess they are more than enough in terms of strength.

Next we look at Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Sigurth.

Mr. Lloyd looks like he wants to say something to me, but immediately shakes his head.

"Usato,...... we'll talk later."

"...... Yes. Kazuki, take care of Mr. Lloyd."

"I'll take care of it. ...... Usato, go beat the devil out of him!"

Oh ......!　I'm coming!

Kazuki's voice urges them to open the door, and they begin to move, cloaked in the electric shocks of their senpai.

The speed of the electric blasts and Leona's power to use any location as a foothold with her cold air!

With this power, I'm going to meet that person--- Mr. Ahl!
