The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

A senior student of mine was forced to lose the ability to fight due to an attack by the Demon King.

Usato is now taking her to heal her with healing magic and liberation spells, but the way the Demon Lord speaks, he is making me understand that it is a difficult task.

"Huh!"

The magic projectile floating on his left arm is aimed at him at the same time he swings his arm.

The magic bullets are scattered, moving separately and coming toward him like missiles, and the Demon King shoots electric shocks from the magic floating around him to cancel them out.

"This time, I'm coming at you!"

"......!"

The board made of light magic is brought to a sudden stop and avoids the storm of magic that hits it as soon as it turns.

"---,ooooh!"

The board accelerates and stops alternately, forcing a change of direction.

Tormented by the sensation of his whole body creaking from the centrifugal force, he puts his left hand wrapped in a basket hand on the hilt of the sword clutched in his right hand.

"Lineage enhancement!"

The sword is covered with the light magic that has evolved as a result of the lineage enhancement.

With a golden glow, I swing the extended blade of light and charge at the Demon King who is about to meet me head-on.

My light magic is counteracted by the Demon Lord!

But that's okay!

At the same time as I charge, I release the magic bullet hidden in my back.

"!"

As soon as they pass by each other, he strikes with an omni-directional attack with magic bullets combined.

As the blade of light dissipates, I look back and see the Demon Lord smiling at me, smoke emanating from his shoulders.

"Ha ha ha!　You're good!"

I've already been taught what I lack!

I was taught what I lacked by Falga-sama during our previous battles!

What I lack is the courage to go beyond anyone's expectations like Usato and senpai!

"If you want to nullify it, go ahead!"

He jumps down from the board of light magic while continuing to shoot magic bullets.

As he falls, he transforms the board into a spear and throws it at the Demon King... just before it hits him, he unleashes a burst of magical energy.

"Light Destroy!"

The attacker is annihilated and his vision is obstructed.

While the Demon King is dealing with the attack, he lands on the block and slashes at it with his sword.

"You challenge me to a melee battle against a lightning hero and Usato?

You'll never know unless you try!"

The demon king, who had been blinded by the sword, produced a magic spell from his palm.

A sword-like hilt extended from the sorcery, and the Witch King took it in his hand and pulled it out, repelling the sword covered with light magic that I wielded.

"A sword?

Did you think I wouldn't use it?

In his hand was a long sword... one that had been infused with magic.

But what of it?

He manipulates the sword with all his strength and strikes the Demon Lord with it.

"Haa!"

I make his magic disappear with light magic and he makes mine disappear.

This is no way to win!　I'm learning that this is no reason to give up!

You seem determined.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't!"

The Demon King, who has received the sword, speaks to me.

The two continued to engage in a fierce battle.

I hate fighting!　I really don't want to hurt or kill anyone!

Then kill me for creating a fight!

If you continue to put so many lives in danger!　I will do my duty.

I will fulfill the meaning of my call into this world.

We'll think about what happens afterwards, just like you said!

"Fine!　Then I must live up to your resolve!

The Demon Lord, who flicked back his sword, flips his hand and tries to unleash multiple magic spells.

As I was about to deal with him, I tried to back away and put magic power in my palm... at that moment, a golden light flashed at the edge of my vision.

What is that?

"OLLAH!"

"!!!"

The golden light that was visible plunged straight into the Demon King and slammed his fist into him with tremendous force.

The magic covering his body prevents the attack, but the impact blows the demon king's body to the side.

"Phew... ......!"

"Usato?

The one who was clad in electric shocks and thrusting his fist out was Usato, who had just moved to a safer place with his senpai.

His body was covered with electric shocks like his senpai, and his left hand was equipped with a sword held in the opposite hand.

Senpai was nowhere to be seen.

But he is wearing electric shocks, which means...!

"Kuh-ha-ha!　I see!

The Demon King, raising a happy voice, releases the magic he had just started to invoke.

Seeing the electric shocks and fire that covered his entire field of vision, Usato took a small deep breath and then let out a short voice.

"Senpai, Amako!"

>

>

>

A new voice is heard from Usato's body, and at the same time, an electric shock is emitted.

As soon as he gets on the board and leaves the place, magic rushes toward him.

"Usato!

A zigzagging flash of light between the explosions.

Kicking the wall and moving through the air in a burst of magical power, he evades all the magic that rushes toward him and comes to a halt right in front of the Demon Lord.

"The power of senpai, Usato has ......!"

Senpai, who had been rejected by Ferrum, now assimilates with Usato.

This means that Usato can use his senpai's power.

>

<>

<<>　

The next moment such a loud voice emanates from Usato's body, he moves with blinding speed and kicks the Demon Lord in the torso.

"---I'm coming!"

<>

<>

Usato's limbs are enveloped in a purple electric shock as his arms and legs are wrapped in a cage and leg armor reminiscent of a black knight.

Usato instantly vanishes from the scene, and the Demon King does his best to defend himself, but... all the magic he had used to defend himself is destroyed in an instant.

The Demon Lord, his eyes wide open in shock, tries to block Usato's attack with the sword in his hand, but it is shattered by the sword Usato throws down at him.

"It's not magic, it's simple brawn. ......!"

Usato's fist thrusts into the demon king's unprotected abdomen.

"Ggh!"

"Raiden Healing Bullet Fist."

Electric shocks pour out of his fist, shaking the magical armor covering the Demon King's body.

Usato steps back and crosses his arms.

"True Healing Blindness!"

You again!

Shockwaves and electric shocks blinded him.

The Demon King is protecting his face from the shockwave with a bitter look on his face, but in the meantime, Usato's gaze is turned toward us.

You mean, back off!

I maneuver the board to move in place as I see Usato moving with the electric shocks again.

"The power of the two of us has become one ......!"

That fact alone gave me a glimmer of hope in a battle that was already lost.

Feeling the power welling up from deep inside me, I landed at the nearest block to meet up with Usato.

I was so happy to see him.

My assimilation with my senpai was a success.

My body was now in full Thunder Beast mode, allowing me to move with overwhelming speed and to attack with electric blasts as my senpai used to do.

After attacking the Demon King, Kazuki and I left the scene and met up with the Demon King a short distance away.

Kazuki's eyes lit up when he saw me landing right next to him.

"Usato, you assimilated with your senpai!"

"Yes."

<>

The senior's voice was strong with a useless ending.

Even after being assimilated, the body should still be immobile, but it is extremely energetic.

>

<

>

>

"Ha ha ha ......"

Kazuki chuckles at my inner voice, which has become even louder.

Anyway, first we have to get into position.

"I'm still getting used to this move, that's why I left."

"That's what you mean. Well, it's my senior's speed. ......"

Aside from being too fast, this Thunder Beast mode also has its drawbacks.

I noticed it while we were fighting.

I noticed that "that girl" who was supposed to be fighting with me at all times had disappeared from my shoulder before I knew it, so I decided to distance myself from the Demon King for a while.

"Hey!

Something hits me on the back of my head.

I take it in stride and turn around to see a teary-eyed Nair flapping her wings.

The moment you jumped out, I was blown away!　I can't go back, I'm going too fast!

"...... sorry. I was so confused by the change in me that I didn't notice.

In fact, I was puzzled when I noticed the absence of Nair from my shoulder.

Without her, I would not be able to conquer the Demon Lord's sorcery.

I guess she wasn't really angry, because Nair jumped on my shoulder, wiping her eyes with her wings.

"But what are you going to do?　I can't hold on to you like this, can I?

"What about letting Kazuki's magic work on you?"

"That's not a very good idea, since the liberation spell won't work unless you actually touch him, right?"

Nair can't hold on to my thunder beast mode of movement.

As for the magic, Amako's precognition can help, but I can't hold Néa all the time.

While I was pondering this, a black magic power suddenly moved on its own from the position of my collar and wrapped itself around Nair's small body.

<>

"Senpai?

"What, hey, Suzune!　What are you doing, Ferrum?　Stop it!

<>

With her voice, the dark magic that extended from my body entangles Nair and pulls her to my chest.

The black magic that covered Néa, who was freaking out, transformed into a breastplate and took the shape of a deformed owl's face.

"What is this prison?

<>

Mask?　Nair peeks out through the hole in the eye part of the mask, and screams in surprise.

This way, Nair is not in danger and will be fine.

That's a fine play on your part.

"It looks like there's a face or a mask on his chest. It's ...... cool!"

"What?　Yeah?"

>

Embarrassed by Kazuki's words, they get ready for battle.

It's about time that the Demon Lord will confirm our position, so we need to check our coordination once again before that.　

As I go to call out to Kazuki, I suddenly notice that his body is unsteady.

"Kazuki!"

"......, it seems I've used too much magic against the Demon King.

I hurriedly support him and cast a healing spell, but his expression does not improve.

He is showing signs of running out of magic power. ......!

It's not surprising if that's the case since he was holding the Demon King back all by himself.

"Don't worry, I can still fight."

"Yeah, I know. But this time we're going to fight in front of you."

He lends Kazuki his shoulder and helps him to his feet.

He smiles his usual fresh smile at my words.

"Then I'll support you just like I did before," he says.

"I'm counting on you."

That goes for me, too.

The block in front of him starts to move and the Demon King appears.

The Demon Lord has been wounded by his predecessor's attack, but he is also worn out.

"I didn't know there was such a hidden gem."

"It's almost entirely accidental, though."

As he steps in front of Kazuki, he replies to the Demon King.

In the first place, there was little need for me and my senpai to assimilate.

In terms of simple combat power without killing power, ours may be higher, but it is more efficient to fight with two than with one, and there is less merit in assimilating us when we consider cooperation.

In addition to that..,

"This sword is a bit of a distraction."

<>

Even now, the sword is sending out electric shocks that resonate with the cage.

The same phenomenon is observed in the right hand Kagote, so it may be a rejection rather than a resonance.

Anyway, it is a cool weapon but hopelessly incompatible with my fighting style.

"A sword for a brave man. It reminds me of the old days, doesn't it?

I'm going to hit you with this.

When I pointed my fist at him, the Demon Lord smiled wryly.

"I never thought that the last person to stand before me would be someone who is not a brave man. ....... This is something that even he did not expect.

The Witch King made magic spells appear in his hands and fused them together.

The disintegrated formulas were formed as one new magic.

"Compound magic, spell of acceleration and deceleration".

Something like pressure is emitted around the Demon King.

As soon as he recognizes it, he leaps out from the spot with electric shocks and strikes the Demon King.

He attacks the demon king using his thunder beast mode.

However, the Demon King's outstretched palm catches it.

"What!"

"It may be an ungentlemanly move, but you are now an "enemy" worthy of such a threat. Usato!

The Demon Lord's fist closes in.

---Faster than before!　Even faster than his predecessor!

Felm, increase the arm!

<>Oh!

Four large arms shoot out from his back and try to catch the Demon Lord, but even they are evaded with astonishing speed.

His movements are so different from the previous one!

"Usato!　I think he's slowing down the time around him!"

So we're the ones who slowed down!

"Yes!　And the Demon Lord is using another magic to accelerate his own time!

You're a real clod!

I thought I could beat you in speed, but you've made the odds almost 50-50.

He tries to approach the Demon Lord while cracking the approaching sorcery with his left sword.

"Usato!　Use my magic!"

"Thank you, Kazuki!"

I use the magic projectiles that surround me as a foothold.

Light magic bullets on the scaffold.

The speed of the thunder beast mode.

A burst of magic in the air.

The way to move by using the line of dark magic.

I'm going to combine all of them and go for it!

"...... It's behaving terribly, even for an enemy!"

"Whoa!"

The Demon King, though looking stunned, does not slow down his attack.

>

>

>

>

With the help of Kazuki and my inner circle, we finally reach the Demon Lord.

My right fist, which is covered with electric shocks, and my palm, which is covered with magic, collide with each other.

With a deafening metallic clang, I destroy the Demon Lord's sorcery with brute force.

"By the way, you didn't hear the end!

What!

He kicks at the demon king's magic, breaking it with his left sword.

The Demon King lightly dismisses it, and in return, he thrusts out a fist filled with magic, which he catches with the basket hand on his right arm.

"Prepare yourself!

"---!"

My resolve, which I could not express because of the appearance of my senpai.

That hasn't changed.

--- then I should speak it at this time when I'm facing the Demon King head-on.

Yes, I'll say it!

>

He raises his voice even as he slams his fist down.

What I am about to say is only an ideal that is very difficult and doubtful to be realized.

That's why I'm declaring it here.

There is no turning back now!

Humans and demons cannot understand each other!　I told you so!

"Yes, the bond between humans and demons is so deep that it can never be buried."

No matter how much less brutal they may have been in the past, the fact remains that humans are still oppressing subhumans.

I understand the hostility that demons have toward humans and the fear that humans have toward demons.

"But I know!　I know that the humans and the demons I have met so far in this world are not all bad people!

What does it matter!　Do you think that if you are the only one who understands, people around you will show understanding?

The demons don't fight because they want to.

There are demons like Keira and the others who are struggling to survive in the poor land.

That's why I've made up my mind!

Then what are you going to do?

With all his might, he thrust out his fist and slammed it into the demon king's arm.

He takes a deep breath and slams the core of his words into the demon king, who backs away from him in shock.

I stand between humans and demons!

The seniors within me are astonished by his voice.

The Demon King's face takes on a look of surprise.

"---What?"

"I don't care if you say it's impossible, I've already made up my mind!　I'm not going back to my world!　If there's an unbridgeable gap between demons and humans, I'll be the bridge!　I will risk everything in my life!"

He declares, pointing his finger at me.

This is the choice I have made.

An ideal so absurd and difficult to realize.

Naturally, the Demon Lord stares at me with eyes filled with anger.

"Are you really speaking such nonsense?　Haven't you heard anything I've said so far?

"Don't you know?　I'm a lifeguard.

Saving lives is what the paramedics do.

And that's what Rose taught me, and that's what I'll always remember.

"We are what we do when we talk about ideals."

I am not saying that demons and humans will soon be able to come to terms with each other.

That is why I will be a pioneer and a guide for those who come after me.

Just as the Commander did for me: ......!

>

"Hmm?"

At that moment, my senior's sword, which is clutched in my left hand, glows.

Surprised by the light, the older man inside shouts out.

<>

For a moment, the sword, transformed into a sphere, covers my left arm.

When the glow subsided, there was a silver cage on my left arm, the same as that on my right arm.

Electric shocks were emanating from the basket hand, and the same phenomenon was occurring in the basket hand of my right arm, which had been there from the beginning.

"Shhh!"

With a clash, both fists slammed into each other, and electric shocks gushed out.

I don't know if it was in response to my resolve, but now I can fight to my heart's content.

"If the armor of Farga responded to your will, then I understand that your resolve is genuine. But ......"

The Demon King, stepping heavily on the ground and taking a stance, makes his sorcery float around him.

"I, too, bear the future of the demon tribe. I am not so naive as to entrust it to you.

"Then you know exactly how to do it. ......?"

"Yes, if you want your wish to come true..."

I could feel it on my skin.

In the face of it, I too ready the baskets on both arms.

"Try to defeat me, ......!"

Good!

The real final battle.

I have nothing more to say.

All that's left is for us to exchange blows. ......!
