The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Shortly after sunrise, Nair returned to his men.

She will now serve as their diversion and, to a certain extent, a manipulator of their behavior.

...... Well, I've made her promise that I'll do some of what she says in exchange for what she asks of me.

I have my own duties to perform as requested by the Demon Lord, so I take out the luggage I've packed.

"I'll take it into the cloak."

Thank you. Thank you, Keira.

The night passed, but my intentions remained the same, and Keira agreed to accompany me on my mission.

I didn't want to take her to a dangerous place if I could help it, but ...... it's not a good idea to ignore her will either.

I would just have to do my best to protect her.

"Koga, if I don't come back ......"

"Yeah, cancel the exercise. I, Nair and Uluru will go check it out."

And I'll report back to the Mad King. Yes, yes, I know.

Hannah-san throws herself into her sleep, not even trying to hide her grogginess.

I wonder if she has low blood pressure, but her eyes seem to be fixed on me.

"Well, I can't imagine what would happen to you if you did. In the first place, it is doubtful that you will even die.

"Wow, that's a terrible thing to say. ...... I'm in a lot of trouble too. ......?"

"Well, tell me who you're dealing with when you're in that situation."

.......

"Evil dragon, Samaritan's curse, runaway dragon man, Koga, Commander, Nero, Nagi, Amira, Demon King."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I really don't know what to say. ......"

"Usato-kun, in the previous battle you fought all the legionnaires in a row... ......"

"I'm sure we're in a pinch. It's just that they're a lot more difficult to deal with."

Hey, Koga, don't forget you're in that bracket too: ......!

I've been reminded of the fact that I've only fought against the most extraordinary people.

"To begin with, I have the support of my friends, so there is only so much I can do on my own."

"......"

"No, can you stop giving me that 'what the hell is he talking about' look?"

He looked at me like I was looking at an unbelievable creature.

"I'll support you this time, Usato-san.

"Yes, I'm counting on you. But don't be reckless.

"Yes, ......!"

...... are you okay?

She's got a lot of talent, but we mustn't rely on her too much.

Keira creates a cloak of dark magic and puts it on me so that she herself can enter the cloak. I then put my bag in the cloak and get ready to leave.

"Be careful. Usato.

"Yes. Uluru-san, please try to stay as close to Koga and Hanna-san as possible. And Bulrin, you take care of Uluru, okay?"

"Gruaaaah!"

Bulrin's affirmative cry.

He still won't let his senpai or Uluru-san touch him unless he has a reason to, as usual, but when he does, he does it well.

Let's go! Keira!"

>

"Bye!"

I wave back at Uluru, who gives me a big wave, and fly away.

>

"No, it's not that far."

At least far enough away to affect the location of the exercise.

I was planning to run, but it would be easier if I could see the location from the sky.

"If we travel from the sky, we won't make a wrong turn and we'll be there in no time."

<<>

"To be precise, it seems to be toxic magic. That's why my healing magic is necessary, but ...... we'll have to check it out on the spot."

Cloaked and flying over the forest.

When I run, it's like moving my body, but this one moves at my will.

And if I wanted to, I could let Keira do the flying.

"It seems that you are dealing with your own magic."

<<

Dark magic is like a mirror.

It reflects the emotions of the wielder and makes those emotions its abilities.

<

"I didn't really want to lie. ......"

<>

Keira smiled happily, and I naturally smiled too.

...... Oops.

I can see it now.

<>

The landscape below us changes from forest to wasteland.

The lush nature has been replaced by decaying earth, and in its place purple smoke is billowing out of the earth.

<>

"...... a little further. Still not much poison here."

Fortunately, the poison has not reached the sky, but ...... the ground is no longer inhabitable.

Maybe if you breathe that poison for too long, it will kill you.

"Yeah. Let's get the hell out of here.

After a short flight, the poisonous smoke emanating from the ground gradually became thicker and thicker.

They cover the ground like a thick fog, and when I can no longer see what is below, I stop in mid-air.

"I guess it's impossible to find them from the sky. Keira.

<>

"If you feel sick, let me know right away."

<

...... Okay .

As he descends slowly to the ground, he is clothed in healing magic whose concentration has been diluted by strain deterioration.

The fog of poison has been neutralized by the magic of the healing magic, and there is no physical discomfort .......

It seems that this healing magic can also neutralize the poison.

Keira, are you okay?

>

"Oh, yeah. Then I'll keep going."

>

You're letting healing magic pass through without letting harmful things through.

Dark magic is still amazing. .......

At any rate, there seems to be no problem for us to work, so we continue to explore the land where poison is spreading while wearing the cloak.

"According to the demon king, there is a possibility that the poison is in a place with a high concentration of poison. ......"

<

"Right."

Thanks to Keira, things are going to go smoothly.

The ground is rotting with no grass, and the color of the ground is poisonous.

I talk to Keira as we stroll around this end-of-the-world place.

"The reason I came here is to retrieve the fragment of power that the previous hero took from the Demon King.

>

"Yes. Too much power is bad for the earth. That's why this is a danger zone where the poison is spreading.

Now that we're here, we have to explain it to Keira.

I trust her, and it would be better if she knew what we were going to collect.

"I heard it's a place that people rarely go to."

<> could it be that the reason why the Demon Lords have gone crazy is because ......>>

"...... you guessed it."

The purpose of the previous generation of heroes was to test the future.

As part of this, he buried the power taken from him in the earth of the Demon Lord's domain in order to weaken the power of the Demon Lord who was too strong and the war power of the demon tribe.

I am not in a position to say anything to him at that time, though I think ...... that he could have done more.

I am sure that the punishment and suffering he went through must have been more painful than I could ever imagine.

"huh?"

<<>

Then, somewhere not too far away, I heard a sound like steel striking each other.

The sound of battle?　In a place like this, where a poisonous fog is spreading?

I reflexively radiate magic power and run out of the place, sensing the magic power.

"Keira!　Prepare for battle!

<>

He creates a healing magic bullet in his deployed cage and throws it forward.

The healing magic hits the ground far beyond the thick fog, scattering particles around it --- and catching the four shadows.

"...... four people!　Three of them are attacking one of us!

And one of them has wings.

I remember the shape of these wings!

Demons!

Oh no! The attacker is coughing on his knees!

Has he been poisoned?　If we don't treat him soon, he'll die!

He puts elastic magic power on his legs, and together with his healing acceleration fist, he flies out like a rocket. ......!

<>

<<>

In my field of vision, I saw a rickety-looking demon and two demons with inorganic eyes.

And the red and black haired "she" kneeling in front of them, coughing up blood, is... Shea!

Why is she here when she was in Mearaq?

No, it's more than that!

I won't let you!

Huh?

The demon tries to finish her off with a sword shaped like a wave, but she hits him with her healed elastic fist.

Immediately the two women who seem to be demons fighting together try to move, but Keira's cloak blows one of them away.

>

"Thank you, Keira!"

Without a glance at her blown away comrades, she repels the attack of a female demoness who attacks her with a knife.

......, these people are the same ...... as Mr. Ahl and the others!

"You people!　How many more lives do you have to mess with!!!!!!!!!"

Magic power gathers in the palm of his hand.

As soon as the black, shadowy magic is recognized, the left hand is placed on top of the palm---and the same amount of magic is struck against the palm to cancel it out.

"!!!?!??"

"...... dark magic..."

A demon tribe, black magic ...... with dark magic.

If he was forced to come back to life like Mr. Ahl and the others were, it's pointless to be too harsh on him.

He grabs her palm back, and when she can't escape with her power, he puts his magic power on her free right arm.

"Heal Instant Strike Fist!

She stops moving, and he simultaneously strikes her with the bottom of his palm and a shockwave of healing magic.

The female demoness receives two shocks at the same time, and is blasted into the depths of the thick fog, with the other demoness trying to get up.

"...... dark wizard."

He is a revived dark wizard just like Mr. Ahl and the others.

If you look closely, you can see that they are identical in appearance, so are they twins or something?

If so, there is a possibility that the other one is also a dark wizard, but ...... we have to give priority to Shea who is suffering from the poison first.

"Ah,u......"

Don't talk!　I'll help you!

You're hurt .......

He's coughing up blood from the poison, but we can heal him quickly with healing magic.

"Yes!"

He picks up Shea and flies away.

The next moment, the sword the demon swung at us hits the spot where we were.

"Why the hell are you here!　Healing wizard!

That's what I'm saying. Why is the demon here?

The rough-looking male demon snarls at my question and glares at me.

I'd like to ask him why he's here, but first let's deal with this demon.

I lift Shea up and wrap her in my cloak, freeing her hands while casting a healing spell.

"Soooo ......"

If she moves too hard, it will be hard on her.

I slowly raise my fist and release the healing sensation refined by the degradation of the system.

"Come here. I'll deal with you."

"You're a healing wizard, you ......!!!"

I tighten my grip as I see the two demons moving to surround me from three different directions.

Fighting while protecting the wounded.

Nair and his friends, who always support us, are gone.

Keira is still inexperienced in combat, and we cannot force her to fight.

It's not a flattering situation, but if there are still wounded people to protect, we must get out of this situation. ......!
