The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Demons take on the power of the Demon King.

I joined up with Usato in the worst imaginable situation, and together with him and Koga, I had to fight the demon Kyra.

I have nothing to worry about because Amako is in the escape group ...... and her precognition magic is more accurate than my now weakened precognition magic.

I guess I'm the one who needs to be on my toes."

Kayla, who has taken on the power of the Demon King, has transformed so much that it is hard to imagine her original appearance.

Her stature is well over three meters.

Even now, her body continues to grow.

Since a demon's body is composed of magical power just like a demon's, the effect of taking in the power of the Demon Lord, which can be said to be a massive magical power, is immeasurable.

"It is ...... that is the physical enhancement."

"Maybe it's my fault."

Usato, who had been standing next to Kayla on the lookout for her, says so.

"I can't use Kayla's demon power against her. That must have hurt his pride a lot.

"I see. So you're not strengthening the demon's power, you're strengthening its body. I wonder if demons are stupid enough to strengthen their bodies in that way with the power of the Demon Lord. ......

Nair's words are harsh, but she is not wrong.

The scary thing about the Demon Lord is the amount of magic he deals with and his own skill.

Simply taking in a large amount of magical power doesn't mean that he has the same power as the original Demon Lord.

"Well, either way, he's an extremely troublesome opponent, isn't he?　At any rate, he's using all of the Demon King's magical power to strengthen his body.

"Yeah, it was a hell of a force. I hope I can at least avoid a direct hit from the front.

It's quite a feat that Usato, who is so skilled at defending himself, would be so wary.

"Ugh, Jibabuhou, Jeek!"

Kayla's voice is muddled as she recognizes us as the enemy.

Her eyes are completely blank and insane.

"Hahaha, they must hate you so much!"

"Haa......"

"They're gonna be here soon. Are you ready?

He speaks as he draws his sword from the sheath at his belt, and without a word, the two men move into battle stance.

Usato lights his cloak with a blue-black flame, and his hands are covered with a binding spell.

Koga wraps his entire body in dark magic and transforms into a masked warrior, and his alter ego, which he has created at his side, transforms into a large club.

"...... Koga aside, Usato is still strange in many ways, isn't he?"

He doesn't look like a healing wizard.

It's more like a dark wizard.

He has a small owl and a lion on each shoulder.

<<

"...... yeah."

I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and open them.

I hold my sword horizontally, aware that the power of the other me has appeared in my left eye.

At that moment, the sword is enveloped in a bright red flame from the fire magic that is activated.

"I don't think you can speak for others either, Mr. Nagi.

"Yeah, is that so?"

"No, it's just that I'm in a ...... state of shock."

...... what?　Why did you hesitate to say it?

I was about to pursue the matter when Usato turned his face away from me, but my precognition detected Kyra's attack before I could.

She's coming!

"Uh-uh, gaaaah!"

Kicking the ground with force, Kyra approaches us with bouncing momentum.

Koga and I scatter to the left and right, and Usato steps forward instead of avoiding.

I would have panicked if I hadn't seen it in the prediction!　But now he's...!

"Gyaaaaahhh!　Why did you run into him?

"Healing flow."

She put her hands covered with magic power against Kayla's swinging arms, and glided (・・・・・) away from her.

He then stepped further and shot a magic bullet into Kaila's eye, taking away her vision,

"Neah!"

"I know, I know!"

He slams his fists with a binding spell into Kyra's arm and leg joints, temporarily blocking her movement.

"...... That's outrageous."

I can't do that kind of work.

He is able to manipulate magic in an extraordinary way by completely owning the flow of magic throughout his body, which is called magic spinning. .......

Come on, Korga!

I'll do it even if you don't tell me!

When Usato makes an opening, Koga and I will take it!

We draw our black swords, which emit flames, and accelerate using the "inu-tsurikomi" to slash at Kaila at once.

"Flame!

A slash of flame is released to slice through the entire body of Kyra, who is already a giant.

Koga slashes at her with the sickle-like tentacles he has created from his back, and finally strikes her with his club.

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!　O--"

"Healing bombs."

Kaila lets out a yell and tries to go on a rampage, but the green magic bullet attached to her torso explodes, and she grunts again.

---That's what I'm talking about!

He takes advantage of the opening Usato has created and delivers another slash.

"Ora ora ora!"

Koga hits Kaila with a club that transforms into an alter-ego, and when she still tries to move, Usato scares her with a healing explosive.

...... I'm using precognition magic to coordinate, but somehow the two seem to be working together incredibly well.

Maybe it's because they are rivals and similar.

"KOGAA!　alter!"

Hey!

Usato receives his dark-magic alter ego, which is hurled by Koga.

Kyra's outstretched arm comes at him and seems to hit him directly, but what hits him is an afterimage of the healing magic he created.

"Healing Afterimage Fist ......!"

Gah!

"Noisy!　Healing Bomb Blast Fist!

Usato launched a high-speed exploding magic projectile directly at Kaila, who was about to launch another attack.

Every time I see him, he seems to have more and more techniques!　No, he's trying something again!

"Nea, Rune!　Stop him!

Stop him!

I got it.

The alter ego of Koga transformed into a sharp crescent moon shape, with purple magic patterns and blue-black flames.

With a great swing, he hurls it at Kayla.

"Bind him!"

Just before the alter ego returned to human form, it transformed to wrap itself around Kyra's body and stopped her movement with a spell of restraint and dark magic of fire.

"That guy is vindictive, strong, and persistent, so you won't be able to get him off that easily!

You say too many words!

Mr. Nagi!

He nods at the sound of Usato's voice and heads toward Kyra, who has her upper body blocked from moving.

As they pass each other, he slashes the knees of both legs, cutting off their mobility!

"KOGAA!　Let's go!

Yeah!

And then, just as they have completely stopped moving, the two clad in dark magic come rushing in, their faces already looking too merry to look at each other.

Koga's upraised arm expands, and blue-black flames erupt from the elbow of Usato's right cage hand---and hit Kaira at the same time.

A thorn from the outburst of Koga's magical power.

A fist from the acceleration of Usato's mysterious flame.

Kyra was hit by these blasts, and her huge body was blown away and slammed to the ground.

"...... I'm not a weak opponent."

The other party is a demon that has taken the power of the Demon King, even if it is corrupt.

He is using it to strengthen his body, so if he were a normal person, a blow from him would be fatal.

What was that?　Didn't you just now accelerate in a way that doesn't make sense?

"My magic. I call it the "National Acceleration Charm." Hmm..."

"....... Roone. You don't seem to realize it, but you've been brainwashed by Usato."

"Don't try to convince me with your ever so gentle voice."

I realize it again when I see Usato putting Koga's alter ego back in his hand.

In the first place, Usato is facing the Demon Lord.

Compared to him, he would not be intimidated by most opponents.

...... I also feel that the battle is going much easier with him in my life.

"So we've done some damage ......, but let's see what happens ......."

He looks at Kayla, still wary.

...... hmm?　He stands up, bouncing, his body regenerating, emitting smoke.......?

"Oh, so that's what this is about."

Mr. Nagi, did you notice something?

The immortality of demons.

Demons are basically immortal.

No matter how mortally wounded they are, they regenerate over time.

Regeneration requires a certain amount of power, but right now Kayla has the massive energy of the demon king's power.

"G-G-G-Gaaaah!"

"Demons are immortal. No matter what kind of wounds they inflict, the power of the Demon Lord can heal them. No, on the contrary, his body can withstand the load for a long time, so he can be strengthened to any kind of crazy strength.

Kayla is sprawling on the ground, seeking power and trying to transform into something more.

It is a miracle that she has retained her human form.

Her arms have grown large, her lower body looks weak, and the clothes on her upper body are torn to shreds, so that even a trace of her former self can't be seen.

"Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!"

--Uhhhhhh!

"Koga!　He's near Usato!

What?　Hey, how did you know ......?

"Me?

I see the prediction in a few seconds and immediately move to be close to Usato.

At that moment, a magical light overflows from every part of Kayla's body. It is not just light, but a dangerous attack that can bring destruction just by touching her.

While scattering them all over the ruins... he shoots a massive flash of light from his mouth at us.

"Usato!　You can stop this!

I'm on it!

He believed me and stepped forward without hesitation.

He thrusts Koga's alter ego, which he had been holding close, into the ground, transforming it into a shield.

"Let's go, KOGA!"

What?

Of course!　It's a healing guard!

Stop trying to make things up in your head that no one else can understand!

He halfheartedly passes over Koga, who is seriously puzzled, and grips his alter ego, which has been transformed into a large shield, as if supporting it with both hands.

"Nah!　Keira!"

"It's a spell of resistance!"

>

I wonder if ......, working with Usato naturally makes it easier for us to understand his intentions and so on?

"Gah!

It's coming!

A massive amount of magic power is released and hits Usato's shield, scattering light.

Koga and I support him from behind, but the shield, transformed by Koga's alter ego, is crumbling from the edges.

"Hey!　This Koga is so fragile!

>

Hey, show me some guts!

That's not me!　I'm right behind you!

The alter ego is getting worn away, but it's all right.

Because Koga's alter ego is covered by healing magic.

"Strengthen the system!"

And Usato is a master of lineage enhancement.

The shield, which is instantly restored by the highest level of healing magic, prevents the magical attack.

"Phew!"

When the torrent of magic has subsided, Usato transforms his shield into the shape of a left-handed basket hand.

Kayla, who was across the shield, had undergone yet another transformation.

"Uh-oh. ......"

Is the magic power that should have been suppressed by the body overflowing outside?

The eyes and mouth are overflowing with black magic, and the disintegrated torso and joints are holding the limbs together with only their magic.

"......Well, it's not even a living thing anymore."

"The demon's immortality is forcing the disintegrating body to stay together, I suppose. It's as if they're so oddly compatible with each other that they can't break down, and they're endlessly going through hell."

I've never seen anything like it.

That's how dangerous the power of the Demon Lord is.

Kaila, now a monster of magical power, roars ferociously and tries to move.

---I saw her arm sticking out in my premonition, but this...!

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"

"It's reaching out!"

His right arm, held in place by magic power, is shot toward him as if it is going to attack Usato.

He avoids the arm by flying through the air with his cloak, but the arm, whose joints are composed of magic power, continues to extend and follow him.

I thought, "This is not good," and Koga and I tried to break the magic connecting the arm and the main body, but our attacks just slipped through, so there was no point.

"Fast ......!"

His left arm reaches out and grabs it as he flies through the air.

"Kuku!"

"Usato!"

He swung at me with all his might, knocking me to the ground..,

"Don't lick it!　Nuh!"

He hit the ground to offset the impact, and with his left arm still in his grasp, he aimed his free right arm at Kyra's arm and fired a blue-black flash of something like...

"Hm?

The blue-black flash popped Kyra's arm off, wounding her, but it was ...... now ...... Rune's magic?

It looked like a pillar of flame. .......

"You just keep transforming into whatever you want,......!　What a guy ......!!!!"

....... No, I don't think you're the one to say that. .......

The next time you're confused in the middle of a battle, Nair, who is on the opposite shoulder from Rune, raises his voice.

"The source of his strength is his huge amount of magic power!　Even if you attack it, it will regenerate with its excess magic power, but that's okay!

That's good. ......?

No, wait, that's what you're saying. ......!

"There's no such thing as unlimited magical power!　The Demon King was like that!　Then, if we force it to use up all the magic it has, it should stop working!

Even in its current state, it must be using a lot of magic.

Then, if the three of us keep attacking it, it will surely run out of magic power someday!

Usato, don't be shy!　Attack it with all your might and keep making it spit out magic!

"Aaah!　Let's do it!

You don't have to go easy on him anymore!　I'm going to do it!

<>

At his voice, blue-black flames spread to Usato's cloak and to the silver and black baskets on both of his arms.

As I was stunned to see Usato transformed into his full combat form, Koga, who had also been looking at him with dismay, opened his mouth.

"No, you can't speak for others either. ......

For once, I agreed with Koga's words.
