A giant snake that spreads poison on the battlefield and runs amok.

It was very similar in shape to the snake I had encountered in the forest of Ringle before, but its size was too different. It is the same size as the evil dragon or larger.

A huge creature more than fifteen meters long was rampaging and tormenting the knights.

 

"Damn it, it's painful......

"Ugh, ......!"

"If you need immediate medical attention, I can do it!" Otherwise, please leave it in black!"

 

Even away from the giant snake, the damage has been done.

Not far from where Hannah was captured, I was treating people affected by snake venom.

 

"Lord Usato, let him be!"

"Yes!"

 

Some people inhale the venom spewed out by the snake and suffer while scratching their throats, while others writhe in pain by holding down the place where the poison touches. At that point, the black clothes could take him to the base and treat him with a healing wizard, but if he was exposed to a large amount of poison, he would need to be treated as soon as possible.

 

"Strengthen ...... system!"

 

Activate the lineage enhancement at your fingertips and apply it to one of the knights suffering from poison.

As soon as the dark green light covers the knight's body, the knight's expression becomes calm.

In order to demonstrate only the "enhanced recovery power" that is a characteristic of healing magic system strengthening, the system is strengthened with a minimum amount of magic power only at the fingertips.

With this, you can heal a fatal wound with a small amount of magic and deposit it in black...... I can't afford to let it heal completely.

 

「…… It's like the venom of an evil dragon."

"Yes, it brings back bad memories......

 

As someone who has eaten the poison of an evil dragon once, I can't believe that the snake spreading this poison has nothing to do with the evil dragon.

This is downwind, and there is a small amount of poisonous miasma mixed in the air.

At this distance, it would hardly be a problem, but not for the people who are fighting there.

 

「……」

 

Perhaps because the magic power is running low, I am attacked by intense fatigue.

In terms of physical strength, he has plenty of room, but he can't do anything about his magical power.

 

"Usato......"

"Let's go, we can't stop here."

 

The situation continues to change.

Leaving this place to the black-clad ones, I tried to head to the place where the giant snake was rampaging.

 

"Grua!"

"Wow!?"

 

Zuzaza! With a puff of dust, a blue bear in soot-stained silver armor, Bulllin, slid in front of me.

Surprised, I stepped back and he turned his back to me.

 

"What? Bulllyn?"

"Gua!"

"It's like you're telling me to get on......

"Bulllin, you'......."

 

I always carry it on my back, but I can't believe that I'll be riding on your back this time.

Where I'm going, it might be helpful to have Bulllin.

Maybe this guy will also understand it and go with him...... No, you don't have to think about it.

 

"It's reassuring to have you here!"

"Grrrrrrrr

 

He jumps on Bulllin's back and grabs his belt.

Then, with a reassuring roar, Burlin kicked the ground vigorously and started running.

Avoiding the knights on his side, he picked up speed and reached the front line in no time. There are many monsters near where the giant snake is rampaging.

 

"Bulllin, can you go?"

"Grua!!"

 

Bulllin roared and picked up even more speed.

No matter how much armor ——— wears, if you break through this many numbers, you won't be unscathed.

 

"Ferm, can you put magic on Bulllin?"

"If you touch it, you can do it!"

"Please!"

 

With that voice, black magic flowed from my legs into Bulllin's silver armor, covering the upper part of his body.

Heavy black armor to protect the head and body, and an elliptical shield to protect against flank attacks.

Covered in armor that specializes only in pushing forward, Bulllin is not surprised by his change and makes an even braver voice, ramming into the monster that is approaching in front of him.

 

"If you don't want to get hurt, you're a monster! Hahaha! Bulllynn! It's the perfect combination!"

"Grr

 

"What, reinforcements ......?"

"The ...... the monster is running away"

"Usato-dono, every time I see you, you're doing a mess......

 

I don't care about the voices of my allies anymore.

As you chase down the fleeing monster, you will find the corpse of a giant snake not far away.

 

"That's ......."

"...... a big snake skewered."

 

It is the same individual as the snake that Senpai and Kazuki defeated in the previous battle with the Demon Lord's army.

If you look closely, you can see that the snake's head and body are pierced by what looks like large conical spines protruding from the ground, which appear to have killed it.

 

"Attack from the ground...... Mr./Ms. Hyde!"

 

In other words, he may be the one who is fighting the giant right now.

Mr./Ms. Hyde, Warrior Leader of the Warriors of the Kingdom of Nirvarna.

He was a brief and hand-to-hand man in a meeting with Luxvis, but he taught me a lot.

He wouldn't be able to keep up with that snake.

 

"Usato, the snake that is being skewered there is probably a monster created by the hands of a man named Barginak."

"Isn't that a natural monster!?"

"It's a doozy, and you have no idea what ...... look like."

 

Ferm's words surprised me and Nea.

Barginak, an artificially created monster.

I don't know how such a being came about, but I never thought it was.

If that's the case, then that big one is an enhanced version of Barginak.

 

"Gua!"

"Oh, I can see it!"

 

At the sound of Burlin's voice, he turned to see the large Barginak close enough to be in clear view.

If you look closely, you can see that the warriors of the Nirvarna Kingdom Warriors are continuing to attack the rampaging Barginak.

Among them is Mr./Ms. Hyde, who himself emits magic and commands the troops.

 

"Surround this big thing! Watch out for poison! If you bite him, you're going to slow down!"

"Gishaaa!"

"Whoa! You've been after me!"

 

Mr./Ms. Hyde gives instructions, and Barginak wags his tail as if he were giving instructions.

In response, Mr./Ms. plunged a magical spear into the ground, and multiple walls of earth protruded from the ground, intercepting Barginak's attack.

In the meantime, Hyde escaped the range Mr./Ms.of the attack, but I didn't miss the way Barginak twisted his mouth to the cheek.

I'll never forget that face.

Even if the bigness changes, its cruelty and cunning ...... not change!

 

"Sorry, Bulllin! Go ahead!"

"Gua!"

 

He disengages Bulllin's armor and heads for Hyde Mr./Ms. at full speed.

In the meantime, Barginak opens his large mouth, spewing a venom-like jet from the fangs protruding from his upper jaw.

Interrupt and heal and rupture palm...... It's too late!

It is also useless to pull it with a belt.

If!

...... toss the healing magic bullet created in the palm with an outburst of magical power!

 

"Heal, acceleration!"

"Guho!?"

"'Hey, Warrior Chief!?'"

 

Realizing the poison, Hyde Mr./Ms. looks up and at the same time a healing accelerator bullet hits him in the side.

The sudden impact blew it out and it blew about five meters sideways.

In the next moment, a poisonous colored liquid is sprayed on the place where Mr./Ms. was located, and a disgusting sound like the ground melts resounds.

 

"In addition, the healing eyes are crushed!"

 

He then hits Barginak's eye with a magic bullet generated in his palm, temporarily depriving him of his vision.

 

"Geeshaaa!?"

 

When I saw Barginak hitting the ground with a sudden blow and Nirvarna's warriors attacking all at once, I ran to Mr./Ms. Hyde, who had blown them away with a magic bullet even though it was force majeure.

Mr./Ms., the lieutenant, approaches us, instructing her subordinates nearby to attack Barginak.

 

"Excuse me! Out of necessity, I hit a magic bullet!"

"No, I know you saved me from that attack! I'd rather ...... a warrior chief."

 

Helena and Mr./Ms. approach Hyde Mr./Ms., who is still lying down, and he smiles bitterly as he holds the spot where the healing acceleration bullet hits.

 

"Helena, you'll be fine without me, and you'll have to finish him off as you ...... hand."

"Uh, Warrior Chief?"

"I'm ...... so far, it's strange, I don't feel light when I'm dying......

「「……」」

 

Hyde Mr./Ms. closed her eyes with a satisfied look on her face, and involuntarily looked at Helena Mr./Ms..

It was a magic bullet of healing magic that hit him, so he couldn't be hurt.

Or rather, the ruddy color is good, and there is no blood oozing on the side where it is being pressed.

 

"This guy looks like Usato......"

"yes, it's like Usato......"

 

Hey, what's the point of being judged like I am, and it's like a disgrace?

With the owl on his shoulder and his cheeks twitching at the murmur of our demon girl, I call out to the fearful Hyde Mr./Ms..

 

"Ha, Mr./Ms. Hyde, you won't die, it's my healing magic that hit."

"Warrior Leader, Usato-kun has saved us, please wake up quickly."

「……」

 

After a brief silence, Hyde Mr./Ms.stood up and touched his body to check it.

Helena, who looks at me with a feeling of indeedness and "What is this person ......?", Mr./Ms. and Nea.

After a few seconds, Mr./Ms. Hyde turned back to me, raising her voice.

 

"Oh, it looks like you've saved me! Hahahaha!"

"No, no, that's ......."

"To be honest, I was caught off guard just now, I didn't expect the wall to spew venom at the right time. But here you are! I couldn't be luckier!"

 

Thinking that he was still a cheerful person, I turned my gaze to Barginak, who was under attack from the warriors with the Burlin who had just arrived.

 

"Not at all...... It's a terrible monster. He has the cleverness to respond to a trick once he sees it, and the cunning to deceive people."

"Do you ...... deal with the technique you saw once?"

"Just a while ago, I skewered a smaller one with my magic and killed it, and maybe because he saw it, he started to dodge it before it came from the ground, maybe he has an organ that can sense magic."

 

Is he smart with that huge body?

Until now, he didn't seem to be able to deliver effective strikes, but he seems to have been able to move on the offensive by landing a surprise blow with a healing eye.

 

「…… But ......."

 

…… The soldiers who are fighting also have a bad complexion.

Perhaps the miasma wafting from the venom that Barginak spewed out was gradually eating away at his body.

Some of them are vomiting blood and poking their knees.

 

"You're all poisoned, Helena, too, Mr./Ms.."

 

He puts his hand on Mr./Ms.'s shoulder and heals the poison.

This is fine, but if you stay here, you will have poison symptoms again.

 

"Oh, thank you, Warrior Chief?"

"No, I'm fine now, and I'd rather than that—"

"I'm going to treat the poison now!"

 

He points his palm at the warriors of Nirvarna and stretches out the belts for the number of people.

Once the belt is adsorbed, it will pour healing magic into it to cure the poison.

 

「…… Huh?"

 

After curing the poison of the nearby warriors, even though I lost even more of my little magic and my vision was blurred, I next put the person on the back of the bulllin who was more wounded than I could heal now.

 

"Bulllin, please these people."

"Grua!"

「…… yes, good luck to you."

 

With the warriors on his back, Burlin nodded sternly and rushed towards the base with a cloud of smoke.

After seeing him off, I lined up next to Mr./Ms. Hyde, who was leading the all-out attack on Barginak.

 

"Usato, you'd better not move anymore."

"What?"

 

I was about to jump forward to heal the warriors who were attacking with magic and weapons near Barginak, but I was stopped by Mr./Ms. Hyde.

 

"Are you close to the limit of your magical power? It doesn't matter if it's for a short time, you should rest."

"But ......!"

 

He almost screams involuntarily, but his vision is wobbly due to a lack of magical power.

Mr./Ms. Hyde, who supported my body while keeping her gaze on Barginak, distorted her expression slightly.

 

"You're about to fall...... I think I understand your mission very well, but for now, prioritize yourself."

 

I was told that in a slightly stronger tone, and I couldn't refute it, so I had no choice but to bite my mouth.

As Mr./Ms. Hyde said, the limit of magic power is near.

Even though I have a lot of physical strength, I ...... resentful of my half-hearted lack of magical power.

 

"Geeshaaaaa!"

 

Then I hear Barginak's hoarse scream.

If you look, you can see that Barginak's body was pierced by countless arrows, and many magic wounds were carved into it.

If it were an ordinary monster, it should have died long ago, but due to its huge body, it is still moving.

 

"Don't stop attacking! As planned, water magic and earth magic holders should gain a foothold on them!"

"'Yes!'"

 

Seeing Barginak in an almost full state, Hyde Mr./Ms. raised his voice to the few warriors waiting in each unit and sent instructions.

With a roaring voice, the warriors reached the ground and with a roar they poured water magic into Barginak's feet, while the warrior with earth magic manipulated the muddy ground to block Barginak's movements.

 

"Everyone! Attack all at once! Those who have little magic left can use a spear, a sword, or whatever! Even if you throw it, you can drain your strength!"

""'Oooooo!'"

 

All the Nirvarna warriors present are attacking with all their might at Barginak.

Smoke billows and Barginak becomes hazy, but he's certainly there, attacking.

Hyde Mr./Ms. herself, who confirmed this with her own eyes, also put a large amount of magic power in her right hand.

 

"In this situation, you'll get it!"

 

Clenching his fists tightly, he raised his fist high in the sky and slammed his fist into the ground.

The next moment, a thorn protruding from the ground pierced the head of Barginak, hidden by the dust.

With a momentary convulsion, the strength drained from Barginak's body.

The smell of burning and the smoke of sand make me scowl as I speak to Mr./Ms. Hyde.

 

"Did you manage to defeat it?"

"I'm pretty sure it went through my head, I was hit like that. Even if he were alive, he would be dying."

 

Certainly, if you receive that much magic, you won't be able to get away with it.

Gradually, the sand smoke clears. While everyone in the room is still holding their weapons, Barginak's figure is revealed.

 

"What?"

 

I ...... who was the voice of that question?

The appearance of Barginak when he emerged after the dust cleared was clearly different from what we had imagined.

 

"Hey, no way, this is ......."

 

Skin discolored to pure white.

The head is hollow like a shell.

Glossy scales visible from between the slightly torn skin.

 

"Are you molting!?"

"What's disgusting!? Goosebumps!?"

"You're a bird now......

 

Barginak, who has molted by tearing off his shell, lets out a raspy roar.

 

"It's a foul to have self-regeneration...... And I feel like it's getting a little bigger."

 

Not only are the wounds inflicted by Hyde Mr./Ms. and others healing, but perhaps because they have molted, their huge bodies have become even larger.

 

"There was a monster ...... ridiculous!"

"Mr./Ms. Hyde, what are you going to do!?"

"Get ready, Helena! Evacuate everyone while I and my men are stranded!"

 

Hyde Mr./Ms., who had given instructions to Helena'Mr./Ms., pulled out an axe she had made from the ground.

As the warriors who still had some spare power raised their weapons as he did, Barginak, who had completely shed his skin, began to move.

 

"Geeshaaaaa!"

"Whit......!"

 

Stronger than before, I involuntarily hold my ears to the harsh battle cry.

Having grown and recovered further, Barginak broke through his molted skin and fixed his gaze on us.

 

"Guisha......"

「! Are you going to come after me?"

 

Licking his tongue, Barginak approaches.

The warriors who had fought valiantly earlier were no match for the one who had fully recovered. All of them were unable to exert their original strength due to their poisoned bodies, and were only blown away by their tails.

 

"Ferm, nea! I'll do as much as I ......!"

"I can't help it......!"

"Ahh

 

He makes a black sword from his left arm as he faces Barginak.

The situation is really, really worst.

I also have little magic left, and the warriors here have spare power, but they are hopelessly insufficient to deal with the fully recovered Barginak.

 

"Shaaaaa

 

Just as Barginak was about to pounce on us, with his mouth wide open, something flashed for a moment, and at the same time, what looked like a white spear struck Barginak's cheek without a sound.

 

「…… Huh?"

"That spear...... No way, ......."

 

A white spear with an ice-like transparent tip of the spear.

He almost screamed at the familiar sight, but eight transparent spears flew after the first spear that pierced him, and pierced Barginak's body in quick succession at a tremendous speed.

The impact causes Barginak's body to roll over and slam him to the ground.

 

"Gee, gee......!"

 

The piercing transparent spear froze Barginak's body as it emitted a strong chill of air, and in no time at all, it contained his movements.

 

"What's going on......

 

Mr./Ms. is confused, but I poke my knees in relief.

I know only one person who can do this.

The spear that had been thrust into Barginak at the beginning began to move on its own, flying towards us and falling into the hands of an armored knight behind us.

 

"I don't know why you're so reckless."

 

We turn around to hear a stunned, yet relieved voice.

I know the knight.

Unlike before, the silver armor emphasizes ease of movement, and the blonde hair is put together in one.

She came here carrying a white spear – Leona Mr./Ms. looked at me in a somewhat awkward gesture.

 

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

"No, it couldn't have been better timing."

 

Leona Mr./Ms. is a woman recognized by the armor of the hero created by Farga-sama, the divine dragon, and is a hero that Mialak is proud of.

He was once a friend who fought with me to save Mr./Ms., who was drowning in the power of the dragon, and he is also a benefactor who reminded me of something important.

She gave me a small smile at my words and walked out next to me.

 

"Leona, the Hero of Mialak, and I will take this opportunity to join the battle."

 

She declared, pointing the tip of her spear at the frozen and immobilized Barginak.

Usato, along with a bear (Bulllin) wearing armor, kicks off enemies.

Is it Kintaro or something......?

 

And this is where Leona comes in.
