The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Lapdo and Leali screwed up.

Our compatriots who went to Mearaq to make our presence known failed.

We were facing a demon king so weakened that he was far from his prime, and an old divine dragon.

We scoffed at the Lairi, who, though wary, had no difficulty in fulfilling their role, were annihilated and left alone to flee back home.

Reaali was verbally criticized, but he remained silent.

When the demons, including me, looked at him quizzically, he finally opened his mouth.

His face was as blue as his bluish black hair.

A demon that feeds on the malice and fear of mankind is being terrorized by a healing wizard of all people.

We scoffed at him even more.

What's with the healing wizard?

If he defeated the demon king it was only with the help of a brave man.

He does strange things with his dark magic, but at the end of the day he is just a man skilled at healing others.

Somehow it has a glitch that collects the fear we need to receive, but killing it is the end of it.

As soon as we finish what we have to do, let's go kill the healing wizard.

Let's go kill the healing wizard as soon as we finish what we have to do.

A swordsman who kills his fellow countrymen, whom he encounters just as he is on his way to retrieve a fragment of the Demon King's power.

Just as I was about to put an end to the abominable woman who wields light magic... the healer appeared.

A dark-haired man with the strange appearance of wearing a cloak of black and white.

He was standing there, seemingly unconcerned even in this poisoned land, and foolishly chose to fight me and my puppet corpses.

He had a light magician who was slowing him down.

Plus, it's three against one.

I'm going to make them bleed in this poisoned land just as I did before.

"Hmph!"

--- as it should be.

However, the healing wizard had such a strange fighting style that such a prediction was far off.

His reaction speed overturned his three-to-one advantage.

Mysterious acceleration.

I don't even feel like my sword will penetrate him, even though I'm right under his nose.

"Ughhh ......"

The impact of the slam into his abdomen stops his breathing.

An unidentified blow is delivered from a fist.

The pain is as if his internal organs have been overturned by the impact, as if a nail had been hammered into them.

"Ah, ah, ah... ......"

But you will be cured (・・・・)......!

You breathe unevenly, nearly falling to your knees from the pain you feel despite being healed by the healing magic.

I feel like I'm going crazy......!　The contradiction of pain and no injury is disturbing my mind.

"Get up."

"......!!!"

A healing wizard approaches with healing magic light emanating from both hands.

His eyes, which hold no fear of demons, make me so angry that my gut churns.

---Oh... yes.

He's a psycho who heals you every time he attacks you.

Every time he attacks me with his healing magic, I don't die.

"Ggh!"

These double blows are abominable ......!!!

It is delivered from the right basket hand, and even if I defend against it, the impact catches the core and strikes me as pain.

But if I am distracted only by the cage hand...,

"Healing Elastic Fist!"

The fist of viscous magic frightens you... and the right cage hand hits you directly.

At this rate, he'll just keep hitting me one way and one way only.

"Oh, the end is not ......?　That's a ridiculous ...... story."

"What are you talking about in the middle of a fight?"

A healer who hits me without looking at the twins he is controlling, avoiding their attacks from behind.

He's only going to attack me. ......?

If it comes to this!

Take that!

!"!"

I fire a magic projectile from my hands at him.

The nature of the demon's magic is to bewitch living creatures.

The magic that can drown them in pleasure, drive them into a state of intoxication, and even break their spirit at times, is like a poison that bewitches their body and spirit.

"...... magic bullet?"

Without knowing it, he plays the magic bullet with his basket hand as if he were disposing of garbage.

The magic power in the air steadily deceives his senses and takes away his functions.

"Ha ha!　You're finished!

Huh?

As a final blow, he thrusts out a sword imbued with magic power.

The sword thrusts into a man who may not even be able to feel back and forth at this point,

What are you doing?

"----, man!"

The next moment the tip of the sword was grabbed by the basket hand, and the sword was snapped off by the left fist that struck him from the side.

I was stunned to see the tip of the sword shattered like a broken branch, and the healing wizard's fist came at my face.

"Gah-bah!

A double impact to the head.

In the space of a single strike, attacks were launched over and over again to the abdomen, shoulder joints, solar plexus, and face.

After 20 blows, he finally stopped his fist and looked down at me as if observing me as I was blown away and fell to the ground.

"Gah, bah ......"

My magic isn't working ......!

I'm supposed to be receiving magic power that would normally have long since knocked me backwards and forwards. .......

"I won't take away your consciousness. I'm not going to take your consciousness away because I want to ask you something."

I can't even pass out.

You get hit and healed repeatedly, and are instantly brought back to reality.

What the hell is this guy? ......!

At least he doesn't fight like a wizard I know!　He's not a swordsman either!

The feeling of a body without a scratch on it can still fight, but the feeling of being steadily drained of spirit is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever tasted. ......!

Healing Flying Fist!

"Tsk!"

If you try to keep your distance, something different from a magic bullet will fly at you.

The moment you try to avoid it and get away again, he is already swinging his fist in front of you!

There is no time to keep your distance. ......!

"You guys, attack quickly!

......

"......"

The twin demons who dug up the corpse and brought it back to life.

They were once the heads of a band of thieves who had been stealing in the Demon Lord's territory, and were skilled in the use of powerful dark magic.

The twins leap at him with knives and claws, but he avoids their attacks without even looking at them, slipping off to the side.

"Keira, concentrate on protecting the girl. I'll be fine."

>

He never takes his eyes off of me.

With a quiet anger in their eyes and frustration in their eyes, I launch a simultaneous attack with the twins.

"Rah!"

"......"

The sword that swings many times is repelled by the silver basket hand, and from any position, this thing can make both evasion and defense behavior (...).

It is different. ......!　This is not a human fight!

What the hell does he see!

Use your magic!

"---"

The twins clap each other's hands and extend their dark magic.

It unravels in mid-air and covers the healer like a thread.

"Cut them down!

"You're going to use the magical power that we've both connected to make a thread. ...... I see, that bond is your dark magic.

Threads of magic power run and constrict to cut the healer to pieces.

He smiles in derision at the sight of the bloodshed, but the next moment, the threads floating around him are blown away by the healing wizard, who claps his hands together and emits a mysterious shockwave.

"Hey!

"What are you going to do about it?　Are you relying on your friends?"

The healer walks toward us with a blank expression on his face.

You ignore the twins ......?

They have your back!

"I have healing senses, I have no blind spot. ......!

Without looking, the twins grab the strings coming up behind them with their basket hands, swinging them around with force and hurling them toward you.

The twins are finally thrown to the ground without a scream, and I feel frustrated.

"You're sneaking around in the shadows. ......"

A healing wizard who changed his appearance as if he were a different person while snapping his fists.

His appearance changed from the weak and frail figure we had seen at first, and he made us fear him so much that we could have visions of that brave man.

>

"Now I'm going to break its heart and tell it how to release the corpse it has manipulated."

<>

If this happens, we can't expose our magic ...... no, we can't expose our cards in this situation ......!

And moreover, it is a shame to use it on such an ungodly person ......!

Don't bother to fight in that monster's ring.

He spreads his wings and soars into the sky, looking down at the healing wizard below.

"---, he's not here!

Did you think you were the only one who could fly?

A voice from overhead.

Before I could look up at the voice, I was hit in the back by a powerful shock, sending me to the ground.

As I struggled to breathe, a man with a black cloak spread out like wings came down in my line of vision, looking down at me with pitying eyes.

"What the hell, man, those eyes... ......"

"If you've been freed from the seal of Mr. Hisago, why don't you just live quietly and not do anything evil?"

"......!!!"

"Live quietly," huh?

"We, demons, are supposed to live in hiding from humans!　Don't get smart with us! We're just food for you!

"......... you're going to start another war like that?"

I was about to get angry at the healer for speaking so naively, but then I saw more fury in his eyes and my throat tightened.

"Gaaaahhh!

"Healing breakdown!"

He raises his sword in anger and is about to strike when a wave of unidentified magic envelops his entire body.

What?　What the hell?　What did they do to you?

Why did they do healing magic here?

Accelerated Healing Fist.

"Shima--?"

The momentary pause in his rigidity is exploited, and he is struck with a blow to his unprotected torso.

The fist, which shows an unusual acceleration, does not even allow for defense.

A hard palm strike with a basket hand dives into the abdomen ......, no, no, no, this is..,

"Rengage fist."

"Gah!"

The second impact blows him away.

Even after being slammed to the ground several times, the momentum does not stop and he cries out.

"Help me!

""......""

The twin threads manage to keep him from slamming into the ground as he is blown away with a piercing impact through his torso.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some magic ......"

"I knew I was being generous."

The still unharmed healer still points at me without taking his eyes off me.

"Do you have to take that off?"

"What ......?　What?

A magic bullet is ......?

No, this is ......!　Something is overflowing from the inside..,

"Pop. Healing bombs."

The moment he said those words, my vision was enveloped by a green flash and a tremendous shock, as if my whole body had been hit.

I was hit by a green flash and a tremendous shock.

A demon and his twin demon tribe were enveloped in healing bombs before my eyes.

There was something to be wary of, but the pure strength itself was not so great.

"...... escaped?"

A demon and its twin demon tribe fled out of range of the healing senses.

We could go after them now,...... but no, we have wounded people on our side so we don't need to go too deep.

Keira, are you hurt?

<>

"Great. You did a good job protecting me."

<>

She protected Shea so that I could fight to the best of my ability.

Switching my thoughts, I look around for a place where I can heal her safely with the healing magic still applied.

"Oh, um, Usato..."

"You shouldn't talk yet. The poison is still circulating in your system. ...... Don't worry, I'm here."

"...... yeah...... yeah......"

Fighting in a place like this will take a toll on you.

If I hadn't rushed in, there's a good chance I would have died from the poison even if the demon hadn't put an end to me.

......It was really close.

"Uh-uh. ......

Shea clings to me and breaks into sobs.

She almost died, no wonder she was crying.

"...... should put her down in a safe place right away."

<>

"Yes. I think we should ......?"

I try to go back to Hannah and the others as Keira said, and I see something like a building beyond my vision covered with a poisonous fog.

...... Is that a ruin?

"Maybe we can rest there."

With Shea in his arms, he lightly flies through the air and approaches the ruins.

...... hmm?

"The fog of poison is fading?"

As we approach the ruins, the density of the poison seems to be getting weaker.

Don't tell me there is no poison mist around those ruins?

Although the ruins look old, the building itself has not collapsed, and it seems that we can enter the ruins without any damage.

"......There is no poison. What is this place?

For the time being, I set Shea down near the entrance of the ruins and let her use the cloth from her cloak as a pillow and give her some water to drink.

I want to investigate the ruins, but first I need to heal Shea with healing magic.

"Lineage Strengthening

Use lineage enhancement to make the healing magic even more potent.

Shea's expression changes to one of calmness as her whole body is enveloped by the dark green magic, and she falls asleep with quiet breathing.

"......Keira, let's rest here for now. You can undo the cloak if you want."

.

For now, let's wait until she wakes up.

I want Keira to rest.

"...... why are you here?"

Shea Garmio.

A girl with a mysterious atmosphere whom I met in Mearaq.

Why was she fighting demons in the realm of the demon tribe, in such a poisoned place?

The mysteries just keep piling up. .......
