The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

The "staff" created by Mr. Farga was transformed into an "axe" in the hands of Mr. Karon.

It gave Mr. Karon the power of powerful cold air.

It was the biggest threat to us.

"Hmph!"

My cage hand and Mr. Karon's axe collided with each other, and a high-pitched metallic sound echoed within the boundary.

The axe was bounced off of my basket hand and was swept away at an angle, but Mr. Karon swung it up with force and tried to slam it into me again. Against an attack that could have been fatal if I had received even a single blow, I dealt with it with my basket hand, rather than meeting it head-on.

"Gah!"

Oops!

I lean my body sideways to avoid Mr. Karon's arm, which was trying to grab the collar of my uniform.

Instead of taking all of his attacks, I avoid the ones I can avoid with the least amount of movement, and when an opening appears, I strike him with my fist to break his pace.

"I'm not done yet!"

I am able to fight so far thanks to my training, but also thanks to the presence of Mr. Farga's cage hand.

Although she is playing with it in a way that she can parry Mr. Karon's axe, she doesn't seem to be intimidated by it.

I want to go home!　Why am I here, oh no!"

"Because without you, there won't even be a fight!"

Nair is crying and whining in my ear, but I'm grateful that she's still maintaining her magic.

Mr. Karon's axe emits a tremendous amount of cold air. With horns and a tail, he has awakened even further, and the cold air emanating from him is probably even greater than when I first fought with him.

Now I am protected from the cold air by Nair's magic, but that is not the case for Leona and Aruk who cannot cast a resistance spell.

That's why I have to pull the axe away from him first.

"Woooo!"

"Usato!　He's magically creating ice gravel!

"......, you can do that from this distance!"

He caught the axe with his left hand on his right arm, and several ice pebbles were generated behind Mr. Karon.

It's really too much bullshit to be able to exercise this much magic without any preliminary movements. ......!

I had no choice but to back away when they were shot out at high speed, but in the next moment, all the ice gravels were drowned out by the fire that Mr. Aruk shot out from his side.

"I won't let you!"

Guh, gah!

I'm your opponent!

Kalon slams his sword into Aruk, who is holding the flaming sword in both hands, as he tries to aim at him.

He is wobbled by the unexpected blow, and he thrusts his fist out from his waist, as if twisting it, and strikes him directly in the dove-tail.

Mr. Karon should have been blown away by the force of the fist, but before he knew it, both of his legs were frozen in ice.

Looking behind him, he sees Leona, who has one hand on the ground and is activating her magic.

"Usato, now!"

"Thank you!"

Karon, whose feet are sewn into the ground with ice and unable to move, is swinging his axe around in confusion, creating ice made of magic power, but Aruk is taking care of it all, and the ice crumbling under his feet is being made anew as Leona pours her magic power into it.

"Gaaaah!"

"Mwah!"

Mr. Karon swung his axe, which he had been wielding recklessly, at me.

He attacked me from an incomplete position.

I immediately reacted to his action and caught the blade of the axe with my right palm without hesitation.

A heavy impact on my palm - but not enough to crush me with the whole cage.

"......!"

There's no way I can be crushed by such a crude attack!

But that doesn't mean I have to accept it!

I apologized inwardly at the sound of Nair's voice, who sounded as if she was about to start crying. I gripped the blade tightly with my basket hand and clenched my left fist tightly.

Arc did the magic, Leona was under my feet, and I stopped his axe arm!

"Neah!　Can you do the binding spell?

I've got more than enough!

Yes!　Let's do it!

Yes!

I've never dared to use binding spells before.

The binding spells would have worked if I had hit him with several layers, but that would only have temporarily blocked Mr. Karon's movement.

So, Nair and I changed our minds.

We decided to make the binding spell not to stop his movement but to restrict it.

A purple pattern appears on my fist from Néa.

"Aim at his shoulder!

I slam my fist not into Mr. Karon's torso, but into the joint of the shoulder of the one holding the axe.

His body is very hard.

This is because his skin and muscles have been transformed into those of a dragon, but he is still a human being. He can be weakened by impacting his joints, and his shoulder movements can be restricted by binding spells.

The time of the force being released and the time that the restraining spell is functioning is only for a moment..,

"There!"

For me, that one moment is enough!

As soon as his hand relaxes, I kick him in the right hand from below. The kick hit Mr. Karon directly on the wrist, and with the force of the kick, he swung his leg out and kicked the axe away.

"Now we can't use the power of Master Farga's armor!"

The axe spun and flew away. As the axe leaves his hand, it is enveloped in light, and the blade disappears, leaving only the handle.

Perhaps, that is the original form of the "staff" of the weapon made by Mr. Farga.

Gaaaaahhh!

I'm sorry!　I can't hold it any longer!

Leona releases her hand from the ground as Mr. Karon starts to lash out even more.

Before the restraints on his legs are completely broken, I kick him in the opposite direction from where the axe flew. I will not let him use his weapon again.

"Mr. Aruk!　"

"Yes!"

Mr. Alc, with his sword covered in flames, shot flames on the icy ground between Mr. Karon and us, creating a large mist of vapor that blocked his view.

I took a deep breath to calm down as I saw Mr. Karon's figure dimly visible through the fog.

"I have gained the strength to hold Mr. Karon back, I have created a place for him to fight, and I have made him let go of the weapons he holds ......."

With Master Farga's weapons out of his hands, he is left with only one means of combat: hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, he cannot radiate the intense cold air that keeps others away.

There is nothing to protect him now!　We can win if we push through at once as we have planned. ......!"

At my words, Nair on my shoulder and Leona and Ark, who had come up to just behind me, nodded their heads.

The third step of the plan.

It is to take away Mr. Karon's consciousness.

It's a risky plan that may or may not succeed, but now that we've come this far, we have no choice but to accomplish it!

Once I take a deep breath to calm down, I take a deep breath and raise my voice so that Mr. Karon, who is beyond the fog, can hear me.

I'm here!　Come on, I'll play with you as long as you want!　

He dares Mr. Karon, who is beyond the fog.

He growls angrily, threatening me, and leaps toward me on instinct.

He was a wild boar.

When he is this faithful to his instincts, no matter how strong he is, he is easy to handle.

"You're just like the old me, ......!"

I don't like it, but I can see why Evil Dragon used similar tactics.

Just rush in and hit. I guess I was really vulnerable because I didn't understand my own weakness.

But..,

Not now!"

As he was about to strike me, I calmly dodged to the side and circled back, slamming him with a kick with all my might.

"GAAAAHHHHH!"

The attack on his back didn't have much effect on him, and he thrust his arm into the icy ground, trying to forcefully change direction toward me.

I know that my kick is not enough.

The reason I lured Mr. Karon out in the first place is to lure him to this place.

In the last step, I'm only a decoy.

"-- reinforcement..."

At the moment when the interesting voice was heard from the front of Mr. Karon, a wall of ice created by Leona appeared directly in front of him.

Mr. Karon was unable to react to the sudden appearance of the ice wall, and he crashed into the wall from his face.

He seems to be in a lot of pain because of the force with which he jumped out and the force with which I kicked him. Sweating with cold sweat, I instruct Nair to cast a binding spell on my palm.

"Gu, ah, gi......!"

Usato!

Yes!

At the sound of Leona's voice, I placed my palm with the binding spell on Kalon's back as he tried to stand up with a cry of anguish, and bound his body.

He tries to turn his head to look at me with a look of disgust, but I hold him down with my other arm.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who's going to beat you."

I may have the power to fight Mr. Karon now, but I don't have the power to defeat him.

Leona's lineage enhancement is not an offensive tool.

Nair's binding spells can only stop him for a few seconds.

But not him.

His flaming sword, which could easily cut even the bells of Samaritan, can hurt Mr. Karon, who has not yet fully awakened to dragonhood!

"Now!　Mr. Aruk!　I'll heal your wounds!"

The ice wall created by Leona to strengthen the system collapses, and Mr. Aruk appears, holding a dazzling red sword.

Everything is a prelude to the best blow.

With a strong sense of will, he swings down the flaming sword from the upper position with great force.

"Haaah!"

The flaming sword with red trails cut through Mr. Karon's body without fail.

"Haaah!

It was my physical ability and Aruk-san's flame magic that cut through the evil dragon's scales.

The evil dragon had deteriorated over the centuries, but the scales covering its body boasted a certain strength.

The skin of Mr. Karon, who is awakened as a dragon, also had the strength of dragon scales. However, even the scales of a dragon are not as strong as those of an evil dragon.

"---agh!"

The air sliced through the air in front of me, and intense heat slammed into me as I held Mr. Karon down.

I involuntarily meditate, but when I still keep my grip on his arm, his body suddenly weakens.

I hurriedly support him, and then I let him lie on the ground with only his upper body upright.

"Mr. Karon!"

I looked at his body with my eyes closed and saw that he had cuts from his shoulders to his thighs.

He is not bleeding much, probably because he was cut by the flaming sword, but even including that, the wounds are shallow.

"And ......"

The horns on Mr. Karon's head and the cracks in his tail are gradually appearing.

Is it safe to assume that ...... his power as a dragon is fading away?

I saw the remnants of his dragon power shattering like a piece of candy, and asked Nair to check it out.

"Nair, is Mr. Karon alright?"

"...... is not life-threatening. He is breathing and his heart is beating, so he is alive. And his own magic is returning to normal.

Nea looks around Mr. Karon's body and is reassured by his words.

"Usato, is Karon alright?

Leona and Aruk come running to me as I support him.

I look up at her as I apply healing magic to his wounds.

"He's okay, he's alive!

"I see. I'm really ...... happy for you."

Leona is relieved that Mr. Karon is alive.

I, too, feel relieved and turn to Mr. Arc, who has put away his sword.

"Thanks to Mr. Aruk's good care, the wound is not too bad. I think I can heal it soon.

"I am surprised at how well I was able to adjust. After all, when you are depended on, you have more power than you think you do.

He smiles at me with a fresh smile, and I smile along with him.

The tension was gone, and fatigue was beginning to take over my body, but I was glad that I could finish the battle with Mr. Karon in the best possible way, with a lot of energy left over.

"......That's all over with, I guess."

It was a hard fight, albeit a short one.

There was no one at fault in this whole mess.

Mr. Karon had let the power of the dragon that lay dormant inside him run wild. There is no will of his own, and he has become an incarnation of the dragon that wreaks violence on those around him, and can be called a "disaster.

Therefore, I am very glad that we could save him.

Now we just need to heal his wounds completely..,

"Well, you know."

"What?

Mr. Karon, who is supporting me with his arm, grabs me by the lapel of my uniform.

His sudden action almost makes me ready my fist, but I see a clear intention in his eyes as he looks up at me, and I lower my fist.

He spoke to me with a pained expression on his face.

"--Ni-Ge......ro. The monster inside me is still ...... ......."

"Mr. Karon, your consciousness is ......!"

Usato!

"......, Amako. What's the matter, you're in such a hurry ......?"

When Amako shifted her gaze from Mr. Karon, who had said this in a broken voice, she raised her voice on the back of the burin.

"Get away from him!"

"What?"

"I'm not done with you yet!　The dragon inside him is still awake!"

"...... No way!"

Usato!　Kalon's magic is swelling!

The next moment he hears Nea's panicked voice, the collar in his grasp is yanked with extraordinary force.

I immediately turned my eyes to Mr. Karon, whose eyes were red and bloodshot, and he was about to slam his fist into my face.

This is not good. ......?

"Ggh!"

Kyaaaah!

I quickly catch his fist by protecting my shoulder nair and face with both arms, but I am still thrown backward by his power and hit the ground.

---What the hell is this power......!　This is nothing compared to what I just saw!

His fist is swung off with his defensive cage.

Confused by the obvious increase in his power, I stood up to find that Mr. Karon, who had punched me, was in agony, clawing at his body.

"G-Gaaaaahhhh!"

His screams of agony and pain caused both Leona and Aruk, who were trying to help me, to stiffen.

I myself could not hide my bewilderment at his unusual behavior.

Then I heard the voice of Mr. Farga in my head.

--This can't be .......

"Master Farga!　What in the world is going on!"

--...... he's going to make his next awakening. He's gathering power inside that should be released outside and forcibly amplifying it.

Forcibly? Can Mr. Karon's body endure such a thing?

Every time he scratches his body, cracks run through his whole body.

But on the other hand, his horns and tail, which were on the verge of shattering, are transformed into a tougher form.

"You mean the power inside that you release outside ......, that's the magic power Kalon released when he awakened, right?　There's no way the human body can withstand such a large amount of magic power being forcibly suppressed inside the body!"

"Your body can't stand it, if you do that, Kalon-san?

I hurriedly looked back at Mr. Karon, but his appearance was very different from before.

He looked more like a dragon.

His body was covered with cracks as if broken glass had been shattered, and his appearance was painful.

His horns were longer and more twisted, his tail was longer and more powerful, and most striking of all were the two "wings" that sprouted from his back.

Wings large enough to cover his entire body sprouted from his back.

"Dora, Gon."

His appearance had changed to such an extent that there is no other way to describe it.

As I and Néa were stunned, Falga-sama spoke to us in my head in a tone of voice as if he were looking at something painful.

--The power of a pure dragon is too strong for humans. So, Kalon had to be slowly awakened to become accustomed to its power. But this is ...... too violent an awakening.

"What is going to happen to Mr. Karon, ......?"

--...... Kalon's body was unable to keep up with the dragon factor that was transforming his body,.......

For a moment, Mr. Farga hesitated to speak.

But then, pushing down her emotions, she spoke them.

--Collapse, collapse.

The battle to save Mr. Karon and Mearaak.

The unusual incident that happened to Mr. Karon in the middle of the battle made his survival hopeless.
