I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

Standing in front of everyone, Mitis, who took the lightning with her parasol, forced a smile, and a look of pain flashed across her pretty face. Although the lightning was a magic used hastily by the deep-sea octopus, its own huge magic power was enough to pose a threat.

"Mitis-senpai, are you okay?"

"It's okay... That's impossible. I probably won't be able to fight anytime soon."

Because of the lightning, Mitis felt a stinging pain in her arms as if they were pricked by needles, and her parasol fell down because of her uncontrollable muscles. Finally, her knees slowly softened and she sat on the ground.

“Onee-sama!”

"It's okay, it will recover soon. Anyway, this magic item is really outrageous. Normally, it would turn into a roasted bat."

Feeling the numbing sensation quickly fading away, Mitis, who was leaning against Nanako, subconsciously touched the bat-shaped hairpin on her head. Like Angelica, Ella equipped everyone with triggered magic defense items. Taking into account the different positions of each person during the battle, the magic engraved in each other's items was slightly different. Taking Mitis, who was a vanguard, as an example, in addition to the necessary third-level defense magic "Shield of Magic", there were also blessing magic to remove abnormal states, elementary healing magic, and basic strengthening magic.

"Really? You're joking even at a time like this."

Nanako responded to Mitis with an angry expression, opened a bottle of magic potion and handed it to Mitis.

"Ahahaha... Ella keeps saying it, so I've gotten used to it."

boom--

Along with the red flames blooming in the sky, a slight shaking feeling was transmitted to Mitis. Perhaps in order to divert the attention of the deep-sea octopus, everyone had moved the battlefield to the other side, and only Nanako and Mitis remained where they were.

Subconsciously, Mitis looked at the deep-sea octopus.

"That's... Camisia?"

In the field of vision, Camisia, who was flying in the air, was retracting the bow and arrow engraved with gorgeous patterns. The vibration just now seemed to be the disaster caused by Camisia under the cover of fireworks.

Looking at the fiery red magic arrow that pierced through the deep-sea octopus's eyes and nailed it to the ground, Mitis swallowed timidly.

"As expected, he's a top warrior... He can adapt to any weapon."

"Onee-sama, please be more quiet."

"No, I'm fine now. Ugh...it shouldn't have to be like this anyway."

Mitis looked back at Nanako and scratched her cheek in embarrassment. Although she could only use the light of the fireworks, she could still clearly see that Nanako was holding back tears in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry out of worry.

Wiping the corners of Nanako's eyes with her sleeve, Mitis clenched her hands lightly. The pain caused by the lightning had been healed by the magic medicine, so she would be able to join the battle immediately.

"It's all right now. Let's get rid of that guy quickly."

"How can that be? I'll take your share."

"No……"

While Mitis was still engaged in a tug-of-war with Nanako, Linglan and Grace on the other side were fighting with all their might.

"Lingran, left!"

"Roger that. Triple Slash."

With three slashing blows in an instant, Linglan repelled the tentacles attacking from the left. However, the skin of the deep-sea octopus was extremely tough, and ordinary weapons could only produce a clanging metallic sound when chopped on it, but could not cause any substantial damage.

"That's why monsters are so difficult to deal with!"

As if venting her inner dissatisfaction, Linglan attached the "Magic Blade" to her longsword and slashed it hard at the nearest tentacle. Unlike the "Triple Slash" just now, this attack successfully broke through the deep-sea octopus's defensive magic and cut deeply into the flesh.

"Hoo!"

puff.

Hearing the sound of a longsword cutting into flesh, Linglan immediately turned around - Grace, who had her back to her, repelled the second tentacle that attacked her. Although it was a bit difficult to say, Linglan was still generous in expressing her gratitude.

"That's a great help."

"That's as it should be."

"How much magic power do you have left?"

"Fifty percent."

Grace's answer made Linglan frown. Because of the defensive magic attached to the surface of the deep-sea octopus, the two people's normal attacks had little damage. They could only break through the defense when their weapons were equipped with "Magic Blades". However, using "Magic Blades" would consume a lot of magic power, making it impossible to use them all the time.

After checking that she only had less than 40% of her magic power left, Linglan smacked her lips.

"You're actually about the same as me? I thought it would be worse."

"This is all thanks to your Majesty's grace."

Grace looked at the ruby ​​inlaid on the hilt. After being processed by Ella, the magic power flow efficiency of this sword became much higher, and the magic power consumption also decreased accordingly.

Perhaps because of the loss of its sight by Camisia's arrow, the deep-sea octopus could only wave its tentacles aimlessly, making it extremely convenient for hiding. Linglan, who took this opportunity to catch his breath, gritted his teeth.

"After all, we are carefully selected guards. It would be embarrassing if we can't even take away a tentacle."

Especially when Shen Gan cut off two tentacles with just one strike, Lingan really felt unwilling to admit defeat. You know, Shen Gan had just reached level 30 not long ago, while Lingan had been stuck at level 40 for more than a year.

"Ah, I'm thinking the same thing. How can we let your Majesty's friends stop here? We should enjoy the festival together with your Majesty."

"Well, we need to end this battle quickly."

After looking at each other, Linglan and Grace took out their treasured magic potions from their pockets. Now was not the time to hold back.

Feeling the bitter magic potion spreading on the tip of her tongue, Grace wiped the sweat from her forehead, gripped the sword tightly, attached the red magic blade to it, and slashed at the same tentacle together with Linglan.

“So, you, don’t do such unromantic things—Aaaaaah!”

◇

"Iris, is Mitis okay?"

Camisia, who had just pierced the deep-sea octopus's eyes with an arrow, said calmly that because the deep-sea octopus had been focusing most of its attention on Camisia, she failed to take away the deep-sea octopus's vision in the first place.

"I've handed her over to Nanako. She won't be in combat anytime soon."

"Well, that's good. Can you find out how much health this guy has left?"

Iris, who used flying magic to stay beside Camisia, spread her hands.

"The level difference is too great, making it impossible to observe."

"...Then I'll just have to wait until the climax of the festival to unleash my strongest attack."

Camisia said in a deep voice that Ella had always been in charge of observing the battlefield, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when Ella was not around.

"The Spear of Magic."

Iris raised an eyebrow as she casually cast an attack magic at the deep-sea octopus below.

"How long until the fireworks display reaches its climax?"

"Dean."

"Probably less than a minute."

"Is that so? Then let's take advantage of this moment and reduce this guy's strength in one go."

As she spoke, Iris placed her hand to her ear and used the "Message" magic to contact the people who were fighting, conveying the instructions for them to prepare to use the combined skills they had practiced in the maze.

"Oh! Finally! Since Angelina, who was supposed to take the first strike, isn't here, I'll take her place. I'll hit the back of this guy's head!"

Hearing Iris's instructions, Tifarian, who had been saving her magic power, immediately showed a predator's smile and gathered towards the crowd on the other side. At the same time, Mitis and Nanako, who were resting in the distance, also began to rush over here.

"Can Fukagan still fight?"

Tifarian set her sights on Shen Gan. Perhaps because the initial attack consumed a lot of magic power, Shen Gan had been drinking different kinds of magic potions before.

"Yes, thanks to Senior's magic potion, I've fully recovered."

"Tsk, you've recovered so quickly. What kind of magic potion did that Ella give you? I'll take care of the first attack, and the rest will be the same as in training. Is that okay?"

"no problem."

"In that case—"Holy Glory Assault"!"

Instead of jumping onto the deep-sea octopus, he drew a cross in the air with a rapier. After a brief delay, the golden cross suddenly rushed towards the back of the octopus's head at a rapid speed.

This was the first attack magic Tifarian learned after reaching level 30, and it was also the strongest magic she could use now. During the maze training, Tifarian was responsible for the second melee attack, but Angelica, who had the strongest frontal ability, was not here, so she had to be responsible for tearing open the gap.

Keng——

The sound of thin ice breaking was heard, and Tifarian clicked her tongue impatiently.

"Tsk, you've reinforced the head defenses?"

It was an attack that consumed all the magic power, but it only tore apart the opponent's defensive magic. It is understandable that Tifarian would feel dissatisfied. However, since it is a combined skill, it is naturally not just Tifarian's attack.

""liberation"."

After uttering two words in a tone whose emotion was difficult to discern, Fukama, who had reached the octopus at some point, raised the Curse of Undine, which was approximately ten meters in diameter.

"'Armor Break'."

Since the defensive magic attached to the surface of the body was torn apart by Tifarian, Shen Gan's attack easily cut into the back of the octopus's head. Not only that, because of the rotating nature of Wendini's curse, Shen Gan even stuffed Wendini's curse directly into the back of the octopus's head and used it as a blender. It took only less than ten seconds to create a huge pit with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of five meters on the back of the octopus's head.

“Wow, if Ella were here, she’d definitely throw up… Fukagan is surprisingly cold…”

Looking at the deep-sea octopus's brain or digestive organs flowing out of the huge pit, Mitis felt a little nauseous as she was about to make a third attack.

"Onee-sama, I'll take your place."

"No... Nanako, if you want to help anyway, then come along."

"Is it okay?"

"Of course."

"Then... I'm going to get in here!"

"Yes, Gungnir."

Almost at the same time, Mitis and Nanako, who were flying a little further away, condensed two javelins. Mitis's was a red javelin condensed from blood, while Nanako's was a blue javelin condensed with the help of dragon language magic and magic power.

After Nanako was ready, Mitis aimed her crosshairs at the hole created by Fukagan.

"Third strike!"

laugh--

Like a flash of lightning across the sky, the red and blue lights, with a tail flame that distorted the air, headed straight for the back of the deep-sea octopus.

Boom boom!

The loud noise that seemed to penetrate their eardrums made everyone subconsciously cover their ears. The deep-sea octopus also felt its life threatened and no longer tried to use magic to heal its eyes. Instead, it indiscriminately cast attack magic around it. For a moment, the entire edge of the island was covered with magnificent waves several meters high.

However, the indiscriminate attack certainly couldn't reach those who were deliberately dodging, and the combo skill had not yet ended.

"The fourth strike will be mine—'Star Strike', Lotte-chan!"

"Got it! Elemental Chaos!"

Following closely behind the golden ball of light thrown by Iris, as if chasing it in the air, Lotte added another ball shining with various colors. At the moment when the golden ball of light was about to hit the back of the octopus's head, the two chasing balls collided with each other.

——!

There was no sound of the collision, but the effect was more terrifying than any previous attack. "Elemental Chaos" is a specialized magic used specifically to target magic casters. If it only hits ordinary people with only weak magic power, "Elemental Chaos" will not produce any effect. But if it hits elemental magic, another opposite elemental magic will be generated instantly, and the resulting magical turbulence is enough to tear surrounding objects into pieces.

As a brilliant light flashed across the back of the octopus's head, the already battered wounds began to melt in an instant along with the smoke, as if being splashed with strong acid, and the deep-sea octopus's original roar turned into a wail.

"Tsk, you're not dead even after being attacked like that."

Iris wiped the sweat from her cheeks and curled her lips, illuminated by the fireworks in the distance. Even though she had reached level 39, her magic power had run out after a series of attacks.

"Should we continue the attack?"

After drinking a bottle of magic potion, Lotte tilted her head.

"—Leave the rest to us, Lord Ruthie. The climax of the festival has arrived."

"Eh?"

Following Camisia's direction, Lotte looked towards the flames blooming on the island not far away. A continuous stream of huge fireworks burst into life, so dazzling that even those currently engaged in the battle were mesmerized.

"It's time to end this, Dean."

『Vulnerability』

『Strength Enhancement』

"One-hit kill"

Without waiting for Dean's answer, Camisia dived towards the deep-sea octopus below. At the same time, she transformed the Sword of Disorder in the form of a giant sword in her hand into a behemoth that was a hundred meters long. Then, with a movement as if playing softball, she ignored the indiscriminate magic cast by the deep-sea octopus and swung it from diagonally below it.

The pupil-constricting deep-sea octopus, whose body was even larger than a dragon, was sent flying into the air by a single blow from Camisia.

At the same time, Dean on the other side was also busy. He held up a dead wood staff in one hand that was enough to light up the night sky, and quickly chanted the magic in a passionate tone.
