The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

The power of the dragon that lies dormant inside Mr. Karon has gone out of control.

Mr. Karon's body cannot withstand the pure power of the dragon and collapses. But even in such a state, his will to fight shows no sign of waning.

"Master Farga, is there any way to save Mr. Karon yet?"

--......In his current state, the dragon's power should be suppressed if his consciousness is completely taken away. He is now a dragon, albeit imperfectly, but at the same time his body is fragile from the disintegration. Your fist will work well enough, but on the other hand, his power has increased greatly.

Even a blow from me would be dangerous.

And his body is fragile .......

I hope my healing punch will cancel out the damage and only allow the impact to pass through, but if Mr. Karon's body has collapsed more than I and Mr. Farga think--..,

"...... system reinforcement, huh?"

We have to rely on unfinished work.

Even with the use of a basket hand to assist in the manipulation of magic power, the strengthening of the system could not be completed. I didn't think I'd be using the lineage enhancement during the fight, so I put it off until later, but I should have practiced it more if it was going to be important here .......

"There is no point in feeling sorry for myself. Let's do what we can do now."

I look at my palms, clench my fists, and return my gaze to Mr. Karon again.

Mr. Karon, who had undergone further transformation into a dragon, let out an exhale with a roar that was hard to believe to be human.

"Shhh ......"

"...... hmm?"

Mr. Karon's wings start to move slowly.

...... Are you trying to fly?　No, no, no, no...even though he has grown wings, can he fly right away?

Either way, we can't wait too long!

I raised my voice when I saw Mr. Karon moving his wings and straining his legs.

Please don't let me fly!

If he could fly, Nair would be the only one among us who could fly. There is no way Néa can handle him, and there is no way her little body can make me fly.

If he flies in the sky, we will have nothing left to do.

I'll hold him to the ground!

Leona creates three ice daggers in her hands and shoots them at Mr. Karon's feet. The daggers hit Ms. Karon's right leg and turned into a block of ice, sewing the ground and the leg together.

Leona, who had thrown the daggers in succession and solidified the ice binding on her wings, left leg, and arms, shouted so that Alc and I could hear her.

"Now Kalon has no axe to create ice!　Let's fold up like this!"

"Yes!"

"Leave it to me! ......!"

Aruk-san uses his flame-embedded sword and I clench my fists as hard as I can as we head toward Kalon-san, who is being restrained.

The method is the same as before!

I reap his consciousness!　And I'll heal any injuries in the process!

Come on!

"You're going even if you don't want to!　Then you have to do it!

Considering Mr. Karon's body, I start to strike him with healing punches.

However, my fist and Aruk's sword hit Mr. Karon...at that moment, the ice that was restraining his body shattered at once.

"What?

He was destroyed so easily?

He was freed from the ice shackles and swung his sharp wings like blades. His wings are as sharp and hard as razors, and he hurriedly raises his right arm to defend himself.

There were two clashing noises, as if two metal objects were hitting each other.

One is the sound of my cage hand popping the wing, and the other is the sound of Aruk-san blocking it with his sword.

"d*mn, I didn't expect this ......!"

"Mr. Aruk!

However, Mr. Alc's sword, which he used for defense, was broken in the middle because it could not endure the hardness of the wings.

Mr. Karon is aiming at Mr. Arc, not at me!

His tightly clenched fist is released at Mr. Arc!

"Gah!"

I won't let him!

I slam a healing magic bullet into him from behind to stop him.

However, Mr. Karon, who didn't care about my healing magic bullet, slammed his fist into Mr. Arc.

"Gah ......?

"Mr. Aruk!

His fist, which I could barely catch with my eyes, shattered the hilt of Mr. Aruk's sword, which he held defensively, and punched his torso with a huge blow.

Mr. Alc was knocked to the icy ground, and he was completely unconscious.

I can't tell how injured he is from here. I want to rush to his rescue, but--..,

"That's not going to happen. ......!"

In front of me is a snarling Mr. Karon. He seems to have shifted his target from Mr. Aruk to me, and glares at me with a frightening expression on his face.　

I'm worried about Mr. Aruk. ...... I'm worried about him!　I can't show any opening in front of this man!

Gah!

I'll deal with you the same way I dealt with you before!

It's faster and stronger, but it moves the same. I can still follow it with my eyes.

He bounces his fist at an angle to Mr. Karon's fist.

As he tries to strike a blow with all his might, something sharp jumps out from behind Mr. Karon.

It is the blue wings on Mr. Karon's back. The wing comes close to pin me down, and I pull my fist away from Mr. Karon in a panic.

"Usato!　Those wings are dangerous too!

I know, but!

Too many moves ......!

I can handle Mr. Karon's fists and kicks, but I can't focus on the attack when he adds his wings to the mix.

I can't turn to the offensive against Mr. Karon's incessant onslaught, and I'm slowly retreating backwards.

"Ta-da!"

"G......!"

Just as my attention was diverted to the wings, Mr. Karon's hand, which was thrust up from below, flicked my right arm upward with great force.

As my right arm, which is the cornerstone of my defense, was popped, my torso was left defenseless, and Mr. Karon's sharp wings were closing in on me.

"Shit!"

I can't reach the basket hand in time, I'll have to catch it with my left!

Leona, accompanied by two ice swords, flicked Mr. Karon's wing from the side.

"I'm with you!"

Thank you!

While the wings were being flicked, I took Mr. Karon's arm and threw him to the ground, and then I moved away with Leona.

There is a risk of flying, but I don't want to run into the same kind of trouble as before.

Let's just calm down and catch our breath.

"Those wings are a nuisance. I can barely prevent it.

"It's amazing what you can do. I can't follow his attacks with my eyes. Unless you can predict the trajectory of the attack like I did earlier, ...... which you can't do that many times."

...... now Mr. Karon has become a real nuisance.

Not only has his power increased, but his movements are much better.

The weakened Evil Dragon is superior in strength, but now Mr. Karon is probably superior in agility.

"To tell you the truth, I am unable to meet Kalon's attack head-on. In front of his attack, an ordinary

The armor is as good as scrap paper."

Leona showed me her sword, and I saw a crack in the blade.

It was almost broken after just one contact. .......

As with Aruk-san's sword, armor is useless against Kalon-san now.

"But with your cage hand, you can fight Kalon without it being broken."

"...... yeah."

My cage hand did not break even when exposed to Mr. Karon's current attack.

It's a hopeless situation, but it doesn't mean I can't fight.

But it is difficult for me and Leona to go on the offensive against his onslaught. Even the ice restraints are meaningless in front of him now, and my defense with my cage hand is not enough to deal with the too many moves of Mr. Karon.

......I'm not sure if I can handle Mr. Karon's power, but let's try that one.

"......Usato,Kalon is going to attack us soon."

"Leona, can you take care of the wings?"

"I can, but what do you have in mind?"

I nodded at Leona's words, who had been alerted by Mr. Karon's movements, and shifted my attention to Nair on my shoulder.

"Nair, I need you to make me resistant to blows.

"Oh, no, are you kidding me?　Don't tell me you're going to catch that?　Even if it's a resistance spell, there's a limit..."

Please.

"......Oh my God, I get it!"

The cold resistance spell on me is removed, and a new resistance spell against blows is applied.

The moment my resistance to cold air is removed, a chilly air envelops me.

Understanding my thoughts, Leona throws her own broken sword and creates a sword of ice in each hand.

"I'm telling you, you can't defend against Kalon's attacks more than once!　You will only be able to withstand a few!

Enough!　Leona!

Yes!

I'm the first one to jump out.

I hear Leona's footsteps a little later, and I focus on Mr. Karon in front of me.

He had been leaning forward to run into me, and he was taken aback by my charge, but he quickly regained his composure and unleashed his tightly clenched fist in a careless manner.

I would have avoided or played it, but not now.

Without hesitation, I catch Mr. Karon's fist with my left hand.

"What?

I got you!

Now that I'm immune to blows, Mr. Karon's fists don't work on me.

As I catch his fist easily, Mr. Karon attacks me aggressively, but his blows are blocked by the spell of resistance.

The ice sword created by Leona blocks the wings that come at me from Mr. Karon's back.

The resistance spell will only work for a few blows, and Leona's ice sword won't last that long, so it's now or never!

"OLLA!"

I pull my fist as hard as I can, and deliver a healing punch to his dove tail.

"Gee!

The fist that went straight into his dove tail was deeply pierced, and the light of the healing magic spread through his body.

I felt a solid response, but the next moment I felt a shattering of glass from my fist. I felt something wrong and pulled my fist back as quickly as I could.

At the same time, Mr. Karon, writhing in pain, stumbled backward and moaned.

"G-G-Geeaaaahhhhhh!

Is this not enough?

If I hit him any harder, it would be too dangerous, no matter how much healing magic I have.

On the other hand, it's impossible to knock Mr. Karon out with a fist like this.

"What?　Usato!

While I was hesitating with the suffering Mr. Karon in front of me, I heard Leona's panicked voice behind me.

Her voice brought me back to myself, and I felt something touch my right leg.

"What?

I looked down at my feet and saw that Mr. Karon's tail was wrapped tightly around my leg with tremendous force.

I looked at Mr. Karon in a cold sweat, and saw him holding his tail where I had hit him, baring his teeth. I could see that he was completely pissed off and his eyes were bloodshot and he was directing his anger at me.

"Neah, get away from me!"

"Kya!　Usato?

"G-G-Gaaaah!"

As quickly as I could, I yanked Nair off of me and threw her over my shoulder. The next moment, Mr. Karon's tail, which had become entangled in my leg, whipped around my body like a whip, and slammed me into the icy ground.

The unexpected attack made it impossible for me to breathe for a moment.

"G,haha......"

"Usato!　Now, help--"

"Gah!"

Leona tries to save me from being slammed to the ground, but Mr. Karon spins around and slams his tail on Leona, as if he had expected this.

The unexpected blow knocked her to the icy ground as well as Mr. Aruk, and she stopped moving without a sound.

"Even Leona-san is ......!"

I hesitated, and she was hit by Mr. Karon's blow.

......, this is no time for regrets!　I have to get into position quickly...,

"Gah!"

As I tried to get up, I saw Mr. Karon leaping up and spreading his big wings, falling down toward me.

I cluck my tongue at his constant attacks, as if he doesn't want to give me any time to rest.

"d*mn!　You're so thorough!"

I'm not going to be crushed like this!

I look up, protecting my face and chest with my arms, and catch the arm that Mr. Karon throws down at me.

My body creaks under the impact, but I try to endure it... but I hear a crunch from the ice on my back!　from the ice on my back, and my thoughts start to panic again.

"Now, more trouble!

If I don't do something, I'll be thrown headlong into the lake under the ice!

After fighting so hard, it would be really embarrassing to fall into the cold water and get stuck, and I don't know what to look like to Aruk-san and Leona-san!

"Gah!

"It's better than this!　Hmph!

Seeing Mr. Karon trying to throw his hand down at me, I slam my right elbow into the cracked ground as hard as I can to defend myself, and avoid his hand as a reaction.

Mr. Karon's hand slams into the icy ground, not mine.

My elbow and Mr. Karon's blow must have exceeded the limit, and the icy ground on my back shattered into pieces, and I fell headlong into the lake below.

"Soooo--!"

I inhaled as hard as I could and fell into the water with a mighty splash.

The first thing I felt was the cold that chilled me to the core and the fear of the unfathomable depth of the lake.

The inside of the lake was amazingly clear and beautiful, but we had to go back to the land immediately.

This is no ordinary lake. This is a lake that exists in another world, a place where demons live.

If I were to be attacked by a demon and dragged into the lake, it would be difficult even for me to come back alive. And I don't want to be attacked by Mr. Karon in the water.

I head for the surface of the water where the sun is shining, hoping to reach land as soon as possible.

"Gabobo!

Gabobo!

But Mr. Karon grabs my leg and pulls me into the water, which makes the surface of the water go away.

He is really persistent!

If you are in pain, why don't you just go for the top!

You cannot fight Mr. Karon underwater. But even so, Mr. Karon doesn't let go of me, he pulls me to my feet, grabs my left arm as hard as he can, and punches me in the stomach with his other hand.

"Gah! ......!"

The force of his fist is lessened by the fact that I am underwater, but still, I take his fist seriously and let out a lungful of air.

Ouch!　Now that the effect of the resistance spell has worn off due to Nair's absence, I can't take this kind of fist repeatedly!

Feeling threatened by the suffocation, I kneaded magic power in my right arm, which was not in his grasp, and thrust it at his face, activating the healing magic Bursting Palm, temporarily destroying his vision.

"---"

At the moment his hand loosens, I release the healing magic Bursting Palm again with my basket hand pointing downward, turning it into propulsion and rushing toward the surface of the water.

"......ggg!"

I can't hold my breath because of the fist I just received in my stomach.

The surface of the water is right under my nose, but it seems endlessly far away.

Just when I was about to give up, someone's hand reaches out to me from the sunlit water.

Not an adult's hand, but a small, delicate hand,

"......!?"

I held the air leaking out of my mouth with my hand and grabbed the hand stretched out from the water with my other hand.

Then, the hand is pulled with a force that is unimaginable for such a small arm.

As I am pulled up onto the ice above the lake, I take a deep breath and thank Amako, who is still holding my hand with both of hers and gasping for air, and Bulrin, who is eating her cloak.

"Ha, ha ......, I thought I was going to die," she says. Thank you, Amako. And Bulrin, too.

"As soon as I saw the prediction, I asked Master Norn to help me get inside the warding, but I'm so glad I got there in time. ......"

You saw the prediction that I would fall into the lake and came to my rescue.

If she hadn't come to my rescue, I would have been in real danger.

I stood up, trying to catch my breath and heal my aching stomach, and the ne'er-do-well who had just ripped me off came down on my shoulder.

"I want to complain a lot about how you treated me, but I'll get to that later. ...... Did you beat Kalon?"

"No, not yet..."

Before I could finish to Nair, something shot out of the lake high into the sky.

Mr. Karon opened his large wings in mid-air and looked down at us.

"......"

"As you can see, we're not there yet."

Nair exclaims.

Despite his cracked body, Mr. Karon still looks healthy.

"Amaco, stay away from here with Bulrin."

"...... are you okay?"

I'm not out of moves. I'll give it a shot.

He cannot be cured by healing magic unless we can do something about the dragon's power to injure his body.

The only way to knock him out is to hit him with a powerful healing punch, but that would destroy his body and cause him to die. ......

I'll have to strengthen the ...... system and do something at the last minute.

Amako looks like she wants to say something at my words, but then she takes one look at Mr. Karon, who looks like he's about to attack her, nods a little, and leaves with Bulrin.

Fortunately, Mr. Karon is not interested in Amako or he is still staring only at me.

"......Nea, I'm sorry, but I need you to fight with me just a little bit longer."

"How can you say no to me after all this time? I'll fight with you until you die. I don't think you'll go that easily. ......

"Ha-ha, you're so kind."

He smiles at Nair's lighthearted comment and takes a stance.

Both Aruk and Leona were knocked unconscious by Kalon's attack.

In effect, it is me and Nair who have to deal with him.

......If the reinforcement does not succeed and we can't save Mr. Karon--..,

"Woooo ......!"

It's coming!

Oh, God.

Mr. Karon flapped his big wings against me, who had covered my entire body with healing magic, taking all possible precautions.

This is practically the last battle.

......I, too, will be ready.

"Jaaaaaaaah!"

"Come on, come on!"

Mr. Karon comes at us from the sky with great force.

I look up at him, my basket hand pointed at him, and shout to inspire myself.
