The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

301 - - Twenty-six9th episode.

Beyond the memories that were once shown to me in Samaria.

We were left speechless by the extraordinary power of Hisago the Brave's predecessor.

"---Hisago did not even recognize the evil dragon as a threat to him.

"How wide a range of things could he seal?"

"You know. Even I could be sealed up. There's no end to it, is there?

The words of the demon king did not seem to be taken seriously, but I understood that he could only say that.

He seemed to be even more of a monster than the evil dragon, as he launched his spear out of nowhere, created flames, and used even the evil dragon's own power as his own to fight.

"But then, why was the evil dragon sealed?"

"......Yes, I guess so."

Nair nodded at my muttering.

It seems that the evil dragon is overwhelmed by the power of Mr. Hisago from beginning to end.

The battle I know of between the previous heroes and the evil dragon ended with Mr. Hisago jumping into the dragon's mouth and thrusting his small sword, the armor of the heroes, into its heart to seal its soul.

But the scene we are now being shown is..,

>

One of its eyes was crushed, one of its wings was torn off, and it fell to the ground, leaving a pitiful sight.

Hisago, who sheathed his sword as he landed on the ground, looked down at the dazed Evil Dragon and put his hand on his chin.

<>.

He pulls out his small sword as if holding it backwards, forcing the Evil Dragon's mouth open and stepping into it.

As he disappears into the body of the dragon, we are about to see his next move when we hear a kind of noise that signifies a change in the scene.

"The Demon King?"

"You'll find out later. There are things to see first."

---Ah, so that's how it is.

You want to show us how lukewarm even hell is from here on out.

I gnash my teeth at the Demon Lord's viciousness, and meekly turn my attention to the next scene.

There, you see Mr. Hisago and Ms. Nagi surrounded by many people.

From what I remember so far, I thought that they were being blamed and stoned by many people, but this time it was completely different.

>

<>

It was pure gratitude.

The streets of Samaria were badly damaged by the evil dragon's attack, but the people living there were safe.

The people whose lives were saved by Mr. Hisago and Ms. Nagi sent their heartfelt thanks to them, and the two people who were sent their thanks had a look of not knowing how to react to the different situation.

<>

<

Hisago replies awkwardly to Nagi's slightly happy words.

Ferrum looks back at them with a slightly cheerful expression on his face.

"This is what you call a rewarding ......, isn't it? Usato."

"......"

"Hey, say something. Why do you look so serious?

Ferrum tilts his head at me and Néa, whose expressions are still hard, but knowing what's to come, even this "rewarding scene" looks painful.

Hisago and Nagi stay in the city for a while to help rebuild the city and treat the injured.

>

Nagi-san was carrying away rubble and timber with unimaginable strength, while Hisago-san was treating people who had been injured by the evil dragon.

>

<

Mr. Hisago showed a ball of light he had taken out of his palm to a boy with bandages on his head and arms.

Perhaps he was sharing his life energy, which he had taken from his enemies during the battle in the form of a seal, with the boy who was in a weakened state.

The boy's face regains its color as it is illuminated by the light.

>

<<< Oh. But your body is still tired, you should rest a little longer.

<<>

The boy nodded with a smile, and Hisago-san smiled kindly and reached out his hand to the boy's head---although he seemed to hesitate for a moment, he slowly stroked the boy's head.

he said.

<>

<

Hearing the boy's voice, "Bye-bye, bye-bye," Mr. Hisago is on his way to the next injured person.

One after another, he reaches out to those who are suffering from the poison of the evil dragon.

...... Can he be the "brave man" he thought he was, at least for this one moment?

I hope so.

As I sincerely hope so, he suddenly stops and looks up at the sky.

The buildings he sees make him realize that the situation is getting closer and closer.

A structure that takes precedence over all others.

The tower, which is being assembled at an exceptional speed by the magic of the earth system, is the tower that in our time was called "the symbol of hope in Samaria".

"At this point, I suppose there was still hope for the human race. Or perhaps he would have had a better life if he had just headed for the Kingdom of Lingle instead of dealing with the evil dragon in the first place.

"......"

"Usato. You know where this is going, don't you?"

The Demon King asks me this question as I know what is going to happen next.

His smile deepens, as if he takes my silence as an affirmation, and he continues to speak to me with a deepened interest.

What did you think when you learned the truth? What feelings did you have toward human beings?

"...... anger, sir."

Yes. That's right."

Satisfied with my answer, the demon king quickens the scene.

After a moment of flicker, the scene changes from the plaza where the injured are housed to what appears to be the hall of the castle.

Not much time has passed since the previous scene, but the scenery outside the window is shrouded in darkness, and the sky is enveloped in clouds that hide the moonlight.

>

>

Hisago is bound tightly by chains extending from the magic circle.

The king of Samaritan, who is spitting out words as if he has lost his mind, and the sorcerer who was alive when he was still alive, standing next to him.

Ferrum shakes my shoulder, bewildered by the situation, which seems so out of the ordinary.

What? What do you mean! Why is that beard tying up the man who is supposed to be my benefactor?

"Too much power can deceive people. King Samaritan, who had seen Mr. Hisago fight the evil dragon, was fascinated ...... by the battle, or rather, by the power."

The magic has already been activated, and dozens and hundreds of chains, familiar to me and Nair, are wrapped around Mr. Hisago's body.

>

<>

As Mr. Hisago gazed with cold eyes at the king of Samaritan, who was speaking with undiminished excitement, he tried to break the chains that bound him with his arms, but then he noticed something.

>

<<

Before the king can utter a word, Mr. Hisago draws the sword at his waist and destroys all restraints with a single stroke.

Without even seeing the expressions of astonishment and despair on the king's and the sorcerer's faces, he jumps out of the castle window and heads off.

His face is replaced by a look of impatience and fear unlike any he has ever seen before.

Before he knows it, it starts to rain, and he is drenched by the rain, but when he arrives at his destination, what he sees is...,

They were all wounded people who had died as if in their sleep.

Injured by the attack of the evil dragons gathered in the plaza, they were unable to move due to the poison they had inhaled.

The lives that Mr. Hisago had healed and saved had been taken away for reasons too selfish to be explained.

FERUM. The king of Samaritan and the sorcerer took certain measures to bind Hisago to the land."

"What the hell, that's ......."

"The wounded who had been damaged by the evil dragon and were unable to move were sacrificed as magical sacrifices and made into a force of nature. As you can see ......, the formula was easily broken and all that was left was a soul-drained, lifeless corpse. ......"

Nair explains to a stunned Ferrum.

The Samaritans present, except for Mr. Hisago, could do nothing but cling to the corpses of their family members and friends and break down in tears.

Mr. Hisago himself sat down in front of the corpse of one of them, holding the body of a person who had probably been alive just a few minutes before.

The corpse was the boy whom Mr. Hisago had healed with his magic.

<>

Mr. Nagi rushes to his friend, who is sitting down with the motionless child in his arms, without saying a word.

She is rendered speechless by the scene before her, and he tells her in a muffled voice how it all came to this point.

Mr. Nagi, who has learned that people who were supposed to be cured have died senseless deaths, looks back with a look of anger on his face as he draws his sword.

Ahead of him lies the castle of Samaritan.

<>

He's going to kill the king and the sorcerer.

I can tell just by the look of anger on his face that he's going to do it.

<>

At the sound of hisago's flat voice, nagi-san involuntarily turned around and stopped moving as if he were in a bind.

As he slowly laid the corpse on the ground and stood up, his eyes and expression were as if they had been drained of any emotion.

>.

<>

<<

Nagi-san forgets his anger and walks up to him, distraught.

>

After seeing the people he was supposed to have saved, he turns away and begins to walk away.

There is no sadness in his eyes.

There was only a helpless "resignation.

<<

<>

<<

It seemed like a declaration of war to the Demon King at the time.

The life he had saved had been lost because of the heartless king and the sorcerer, and the last bit of something that had held his heart together had been torn to shreds.

There is no one to hold him together now.

<

The city of Samaritan is in a state of sadness.

Hisago and Nagi are making their way through the pouring rain.

I tried not to look away from the painful sight of them.

"From this point on, my memory is only fragmentary, with a few exceptions."

"......Why?"

Because he wouldn't show it to me. If he had just been fighting our troops, that would have been enough, but he obviously went to places other than where our troops were... and he was doing something (...)"

Something ......?

Does this mean that even the Demon King doesn't know what he's ......?

"But it was this event that finally motivated him to fight me.

The fragmented record is reflected in the landscape.

A wizard of light single-handedly reaves and overwhelms the army of the Demon King.

His backside is so heroic that he is called a "hero," but his battle is that of a demigod.

But in the midst of it all, he had let the beasts escape from the battlefield, where they had been treated badly.

After the battle, he moved them to a forest far away from human habitation and taught them human culture and education.

Among them is a girl who looks exactly like Nagi.

But she is not as strong as Nagi, but more calm.

"She led the beastmen to cross swords with us. When most of our forces were decimated by the power of a single hisago, he set foot in our castle."

The demon king looks nostalgic, as if he is remembering those days.

This was the castle for the Demon King hundreds of years ago.

If not here, then perhaps... those ruins.

"To settle the score with me."

The next one will probably be the last.

I have to see what kind of choices and what kind of paths the person called Hisago chose, on behalf of Senpai and Kazuki, who are not here now.
