A lot of time has passed since the start of the fighting...... I feel like.

We continue to treat the injured at the rescue base, but the number of injured people being brought in is increasing, not decreasing.

Those who could not fit into the tent at the base were laid on the ground with a linen cloth prepared in advance and laid down there, and then we, the healing wizards, performed the treatment.

So we have secured a place for the time being, but there are still problems.

They were slashed by a sword held by a man who appeared to be a legion commander.

The only way to keep them alive when they are unable to heal their wounds by any means is to give them first aid and surpass the situation.

Not being able to help someone suffering right in front of us was itchy and painful for us.

 

"Lord Uluru, I will carry the injured person."

"Oh, thank you very much......"

 

Now, one of the knights guarding us at the base, Mr./Ms. Aluk, lays the wounded man brought by the black cloth on the linen-covered ground.

He's someone who traveled with Usato, and he's someone you can trust.

Rather, they take the initiative to help tend to the injured even if we don't say anything, and if a knight is being controlled, they will immediately subdue it, so it is far from reliable.

In this short time, "Master of Care!" And so much so that I get sick of it many times.

 

"Okay......! Good luck! I'm going to fix it now!"

 

Re-energize yourself and cast a healing spell on the injured person in front of you.

I've done it dozens of times already, but I don't feel like I'm getting used to it. No matter how many times you look at the wound, it is painful, and the face writhing in pain is so painful that you want to look away.

But I'm sure everyone running on the battlefield is having a harder time than I am, so I can't afford to give up.

And...

 

"There's room here, bring me here!"

"That's how it is, Gerna! Honestly, I might fall down, but I'll do my best!"

"No, you need to rest a little!?"

"I won't faint until I meet Suzune-sama!"

 

Both Gerna and Kate, who came this time, are doing their job as healing wizards properly.

In particular, the confusion that Guerna showed at the beginning has disappeared, and she is now firmly facing the injured person.

My brother, too...

 

"Olga Mr./Ms......."

"Don't worry, Mr./Ms. Sharn, I'm still fine."

「…… Yes."

 

Yes? It's like I'm getting closer while I'm taking my eyes off ...... a bit.

No, maybe they are doing it seriously without thinking about it, but .......

 

"If you have Mr./Ms., it looks okay! yes!"

 

Now is not the time to think about what is floating around, so I finish treating the injured person while half-forcibly interrupting my thoughts.

Your brother's story is important, but now is not the time to worry about it.

As he switched his mind and was about to deal with the next injured person to be carried, a knight rushed to the base and told the guarding knights, including Mr./Ms. Aluk, something.

I wondered what it was, and when I looked there, Mr./Ms. Alc with a joyful expression spoke so that everyone in the room could hear it.

 

"...... the one who controlled the knights! We have succeeded in capturing the commander of the Third Corps!"

"Eh, Alc Mr./Ms., then maybe ......!"

"Yes! This will not manipulate more people!"

 

It was good....... I am relieved that I don't have to worry about being attacked by my allies anymore.

But I didn't think it was the Third Corps Commander who was manipulating it.

I didn't know the strength of the so-called Legion Commanders of the Demon King's Army, but I knew that they were pretty amazing.

 

"But the Third Corps Commander was captured by Mr./Ms. of the Knights?"

"I heard that Lord Usato caught him."

「…… What, Usato-kun?"

"Yes, it's solid information."

 

———What are you doing, Usato-kun!?

Or rather, I heard that you were fighting another corps commander in another place when I heard about it earlier!

 

"I understand the confusion, yes, I understand."

 

Mr./Ms.'s nod seems to be filled with real feeling.

 

"Usato-kun...... You're fighting again."

 

Healing wizards are not meant to fight, but to help.

When you think about it, you might think that Usato's judgment was wrong, but considering his personality, it's easy to see what he fought for.

Surely if we don't do something about the enemy in front of us, many people will be hurt, so he fought.

I don't know if that decision is right or wrong, but at least that's what I thought——、

 

"I need to work harder, too......!"

 

Pick up your heart that was a little frustrated.

Just as Usato is running on the battlefield as a healing wizard, I am standing here as a healing wizard.

If that's the case, I can't help but show my displeasure as a senior member of his rescue team Mr./Ms. ...... older sister!

 

●

 

Koga, the commander of the Second Legion of the Demon King's army.

Wearing dark magic, his movements are the exact opposite of Usato's.

In the case of Usato, if he is the type of person who sees through the movements of his opponent and counters without question, Koga is the type who moves in all directions and tries to land sharp blows as if to exploit the gap.

 

"Light!"

 

Manipulating a magic bullet, he swings his sword down at Koga.

He blocks the sword with his arm and at the same time shoots magic bullets that rain down, but they are drowned out by the scythe that extends from Koga's back.

 

"That's not going to reach me! Brave!"

"Ordinary magic bullets don't get countered by that thing on ...... back."

 

The magic bullets that are normally manipulated are balloons, so to speak.

Just by making a cut with a scythe like now, the magic power inside will burst.

Until now, I was trying to push through with the number of magic bullets, but I ...... that was impossible.

 

「…… Okay."

 

Words are power.

Say it aloud, hear it with your ears, and your head recognizes it.

Rather than thinking and acting on everything in your head, it is more efficient to manipulate the image contained in the words as magic, and the speed at which magic is formed is much faster.

I'm sure Usato's screaming the name of the technique for the same reason as me.

 

「…… Chakram "

 

He mutters, gathering his magic bullets and forming them into different shapes.

The two magic bullets, which have changed into a shape resembling circular boomerangs, begin to spin at high speed.

 

"If you can get rid of it, erase it!"

"Uge, what the hell ......!"

 

This one, which has been transformed into circular magic, is a dangerous technique that cuts off anything it comes in contact with while rotating at high speed.

Unlike ordinary magic bullets, it can only control two, but it is still powerful enough.

I gripped my sword and made a magic attack from a medium range while directing a circular magic power at me.

 

"Chop it up!"

"Excellent!"

 

Koga places his hands on the ground and directs the four scythes extended from his back at the high-speed spinning magic bullets.

Today's magic bullets are specialized for cutting.

I carved my sword like a scythe and sent two magic bullets flying to cut off Koga's torso and neck.

 

"You can't stop it with a half-hearted defense!"

"Eat ......!"

 

At the same time, I also shoot a series of rays of light magic from the palm of my right arm, which is accompanied by my left hand.

Playing them with his gigantic arm, Koga tries to get close to him, dodging the magic bullets that are trying to cut him down.

 

"Can't you catch up......

 

My magic system is light, but I can't control it as fast as light.

It means light as a purification, in the sense that it makes the object disappear without question.

That's why both magic beams and magic bullets are slower than the electric magic of their seniors, and they don't work well against fast-moving opponents like Usato and Koga.

 

"Brave, your magic and your technology are astounding, but it's too late to catch ......!"

"Don't be fooled...... Whew!"

 

But that doesn't mean we've run out of options!

He clutches the sword with both hands and slashes Koga's wielding claws and sickle with his sword.

Although the movement of the koga is fast and difficult to read——、

 

"Huh!!"

 

Now that he's joined hands with Usato, it's not too fast to handle!

He dodges the belt protruding from Koga's body and fires an improvised magic bullet generated by his palm.

 

"Hah, don't be that late!"

 

He is immediately dealt with by the scythe on his back, but where he dodges, he raises his sword with one hand and wields it as if to slash his head.

I know that black magic can prevent it.

It's just a bluff for the sake of the favorite...... shot!

He creates a small sword that condenses magic into the opposite palm holding the sword.

 

"Wear it...... Whew!"

 

He lifts it into his fist and swings it at Koga, who is now focused on defending against the sword.

Aim for its heart!

Kill them instantly before they can be dealt with!

 

「Light Dotted SwordFlashpoint!!」

"Oh my gosh!?"

 

The sword floats in his fist and slams into Koga's torso at the same time as he shouts the name of the technique.

By releasing a sword that condenses the magic power of light with a blow, it turns into a piercing blow that annihilates the entire defense!

 

"Olaa!"

"What!?"

 

A blow that will surely obliterate Koga's heart.

However, just before the Sword of Light was about to obliterate Koga's heart, he was repelled by an unnatural impact and fell backwards as if being pushed out.

 

"...... magic burst from Koga's arms just now?"

 

His gaze shifts from the Sword of Light, which has lost its target and flew far behind him, to Koga, who has taken an unexpected action.

Somewhat flustered, Koga stepped back, looked at his arms and let out an exclamation.

 

"I see, unlike Usato, mineIt goes like this・・・・That's why."

"What are you now...... Usato's ......"

"Oh."

 

Just as Koga was about to fall backwards, a sludge-like magic burst out of his arms.

Now, from his arms, the black magic that erupted turned into spikes that resembled swords, and several of them flew out of his hands.

 

"I've been hit so many times, I know what he's doing. …… It's not decent to do what you're doing even if the seed cracks."

 

Koga quickly put his arm back on and waved at me as I was stunned.

There is no blood.

Is it okay for Koga to unleash his magical powers in the same way as Usato......?

 

"If it's dark magic that assimilates the body, then Usato, who has assimilated with Ferm, can do it, and there's no reason why I can't."

"Did you let the magic power explode from ......?"

"It's better than dying if you fail, but it takes a lot of courage. I don't know if it's strange that you can use pom-poms so much."

 

"But," Koga said, returning the scythe from his back and glaring at him.

I couldn't see his expression because of his mask, but I could tell that he was definitely smiling with joy.

 

"I'm grateful to Usato."

「…… What's that?"

"The more I fight him, the stronger I become. Hahahaha!"

「……」

 

Calm down, if you get angry here, it's going to be the other person's fault.

That's what I tell myself, and I consider the power of Koga now.

…… The fact that you used the same technique as Usato means that you can move the same way as him. There's no way Koga, who was fighting Usato, wouldn't do it.

 

"We should settle it right away."

 

To be honest, it's tough to fight an all-out Usato without mentality.

The way they fight is different, but Koga is just like Usato.What are you going to do?・・・・・・・It's an unpredictable and troublesome opponent.

With that in mind, I manipulated the circular magic bullet that had been stagnant beside me and directed it towards Koga.

 

「…… Go!"

"Oh? Well, it's the right decision. But—"

 

Koga, whose arms are bent widely, slams his arms into the magic bullets that are coming towards him, causing an outburst of magical power.

At that moment, the same piercing thorns protruded from Koga's arms with a shock.

 

"Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore."

 

He forcibly erased the magic bullet that was supposed to cut him off.

I ...... that it has not only impact but also hardness!

After erasing the circular magic bullet, Koga begins to deform his body when his arms touch the ground.

 

"Huh......!"

"Is it going to change ......?"

 

Until now, he had four scythes extending from his back, and he was halfway between a man and a beast, but now he has transformed into a sword-like thorn from his back, like a porcupine.

It's as if he specializes only in lethal abilities, and I turn my utmost caution to Koga.

 

"Alright, I'm going to do it in a new way like him......

"Huh!"

 

Just as he was about to generate the next magic bullet while suppressing his agitation, Koga, who should have been more than ten meters away earlier, was approaching in front of him.

He immediately slams his sword and tries to intercept it, but is faltered at an abnormal speed.

 

"Did you unleash your magic power and get instant acceleration?"

"Exactly!"

 

Fast......!

Until now, it had been able to cope well enough, but with the same acceleration method as Usato, its movements changed to even more irregularities.

I can barely follow its movements with my eyes.

 

"Oh, there!"

"Blow it up!"

 

Turn around behind you and use your sword as a shield.

Nonetheless, Koga slams his raised fist into his sword. At the same time, a strong shockwave and a number of black magic spikes protrude from his fist.

 

"Ugh! Oh my gosh!"

 

He was unable to prevent all of them and received thorns in his left shoulder and side.

It hurts a lot, but I don't have time to be in pain! While using the shockwave released to dodge backwards as if falling down, he holds his palm forward and shoots a series of magic bullets.

While keeping in sight Koga, who lightly dodges the magic bullets approaching like a machine gun, we analyze the current Koga.

 

"It's going to take some time to get used ......."

 

It turns out that there is an additional attack with shockwaves and spikes in addition to normal attacks.

He's also much faster, so it's not good to fight at half-distances.

I can't deal with it the way I've been doing it.

I ...... to dare him to let his magic explode and let his magic power be depleted, or to be prepared for injury and make sure that my magic kills him instantly. I'm confident that I can do both, but I have to be prepared to take a certain amount of risk.

 

"yes?"

 

Just as I was about to catch sight of Koga, who was trying to dodge the magic bullets and attack me, I noticed that someone wearing fire and lightning was flying at the place where I was.

The person who scattered the flames and landed cleanly smiles at us, not noticing the cloak that was on fire.

 

"Kazuki-kun, are you okay?"

"Senior, that's the line here...... It's burning, cloak."

"What? Lie...... Oh, it's hot!?"

 

The moment of landing was cool, but I ...... to put out the fire in a hurry.

Shifting his gaze from his senior, who was hastily extinguishing the flames on his cloak, to Koga, he stopped moving, looking sideways at Amira as he stood still.

On the other hand, Amira, who was fighting with her seniors, was bleeding from her shoulder, but she still seemed to have lost her fighting spirit.

 

「…… Whew! As expected, he is a talented person of the corps commander class. My Miracle Special Move, 'Flame Thunder Slash', which also used the opponent's flames, finally hit ......!"

 

The senior who put out the fire says this while wiping his forehead.

 

"Hahaha......, are you okay with that?"

"I'm still fine, but the sword didn't seem to be able to withstand the blow just now."

 

As he said this, the sword he held up was cracked and broken in half.

It was supposed to be a sword with considerable strength, but it seemed that it could not withstand the power of its seniors.

However, I somehow know that the sword I have is close to its limit.

 

"Is this a desperate situation?"

"No, senpai doesn't think that, does he?"

"Hehe, yes."

 

Saying this, the senior picks up the two swords that have fallen nearby.

 

"There's enough weapons on the battlefield to rot, and if your favorite sword is broken, you'll have to use it this time."

 

Finish the first aid with healing magic and stand up.

It's not about desperation.

- I've shown a lot of unworthiness last time.

So, this time, we will fight hard -- we will win.

 

"Let's not give up and fight."

"Oh!"

 

Now let us not be ashamed of the sincere friends we have made in this world.

With those words, my seniors and I switched our minds and faced the powerful enemies in front of us.

_________________________________________________

>> I'm sure Usato is screaming the name of the technique for the same reason as me.

Usato: "Huh?" (I don't think about anything)

 

Kazuki's light magic will be extinguished by ignoring basic defenses.

It's even more merciless than Usato's because it doesn't work.

 

Technique commentary.

Technique name: "Light Point Sword" (named by Inugami Senpai)

A technique that releases a sword of light attached to a fist with a blow.

If it hits directly, the part where the fist was struck will disappear as if it were hollowed out.

It is characterized by ignoring defenses and coming out quickly.

The name of the technique was decided after Kazuki's entreaties and the seniors reconsidered it about seven time
