The battle with Koga was a quagmire of fighting.
Koga, who attacks with high-speed movement that I don't think is a demon race, and I'm trying to deal with magic bullets and their applications. There was no decisive blow for either side, and it just turned into a battle where both sides were exhausted.
In the midst of such a battle, a change occurred.
"Give Shape to Your Heart"
In the middle of the battle with Koga, a mysterious floating object suddenly falls.
At that moment when it emitted a loud light that seemed to burst right above me, I heard such a voice.
When I opened my eyelids, the world I could see was pure white, and the palm of my left hand, which was the only one that could be seen decently, was something like a shining silver sphere.
「……」
Somehow, I know that the owner of the voice is not the enemy.
That's why I couldn't understand why he would say such a thing with what seemed to be Usato's point of view.
However, I thought that this was also meaningful, and I tried to give shape to my heart according to his words.
Focusing on the left hand on which the sphere rests, he opens his mouth slightly.
「…… I'm not as dexterous as people say I am."
He's clumsy enough to socialize, and he's a weak man who shy away when he's forced to make important choices and can't move forward on his own.
What do others think of you? If I think about it, I'm too scared to know it, and in the end, I have no choice but to wait for time to pass with a hazy feeling of doing nothing.
"But ......."
It was of my own volition that I chose to fight in this world.
I took up the sword because I wanted to do everything I could for my friends, for the people who adored me, and for my friends. Even if he is battered like he is now, he can swear that night that he has no regrets about his decision in front of Usato.
"yes......?"
As he thought about it, the silver light intensified even more and gathered on his left arm.
As a result, the light that had been shining brightly around the area subsided, and at the same time it dissipated and disappeared like a particle, and at the same time, the surrounding scenery returned to that of the battlefield.
Confused, he looked ahead and saw Koga, shrouded in black magic, looking at him with his arms crossed a few tens of meters away.
"Oh, you've finally appeared."
"What the hell ......?"
"I never thought I'd be surrounded by light in the middle of a battle. …… Could it be thatLeft arm・・Is it a new power? Hmm?"
Koga said, and he looked at his left arm and gasped.
His left arm was equipped with a silver gauntlet.
It was very similar to the gauntlet that Usato's possessed, but the atmosphere emanating from it and the power flowing into his body through the gauntlet were extraordinary.
"You're the brave Kazuki, aren't you?"
「! Are you ......?"
The same voice echoed in my head.
Koga, who is tilting his head and looking at him, turns his attention to the gauntlet from whom the voice was spoken.
"My name is Falga, and I am the one who speaks to you through your armor."
「…… Is it correct that this is the armor of the hero that Usato was talking about?"
"It's a quick conversation, and there aren't many times when you can talk. In the meantime, I will teach you how to handle your armor.'
Surprised to hear a voice from the gauntlet, he realizes that the owner of the voice is Farga-sama, the divine dragon of Mialak that Usato was talking about.
I don't know why this is the right time, but at this moment, the armor of the brave has come to me.
"Your gauntlet assists in the manipulation of magic and allows light magic to be treated as less dangerous magic."
"Danger-free, ...... things"
"You are aware of the dangers of light magic, aren't you? It's a magic that erases anything it touches, a powerful but unusable spell.'
Falga is right.
Anything that touches my magic will be extinguished. I'm no exception myself, so I can hardly make them wear fists or swords.
The fact that I was able to compensate for that difficulty with a gauntlet changed my fighting style to a more flexible one.
Grasp the sword in your right hand and take a stance.
Koga, who had been silent and silent, smiled innocently.
"Whoa, are you ready to talk to yourself?"
「……」
"Then don't hesitate to let me go!"
Koga moves at high speed from the spot with the sound of magic bursting.
As soon as he started moving, he fired several magic bullets from his left hand, placing them around him, and he noticed that he heard a sound like something being sucked from the gauntlet.
"What? Has your magic been restored?"
"It looks like you've converted light into magic."
…… Photosynthesis?
No, it's not nutrition that converts, it's magic.
"Anyway! You don't have to worry about running out of magic!"
Bouncing around him like a quadruped, he swung his crooked claws up as he picked up speed, attacking with an outburst of magical power.
On the other hand, he slashes it with a sword clenched in his right hand while pointing the magic bullet that was floating in the air.
"I can already see the movement!"
"Then how about this!"
If he dodges a magic bullet with an irregular move, he will flip his sword and dodge it.
Something wriggles behind Koga, and at the same time, he notices that something like a tail is closing in on him.
"Tail!?"
"Oh my God!"
Did he grow a tail......!? I don't feel like I'm fighting with people anymore!
He immediately defended himself with his sword, but the moment his tail hit him, the sword in his right hand broke off from the base of the hilt.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I couldn't stand it......
As Koga bares his fangs and tries to chop me up, he unleashes a series of magical powers using the gauntlet on his left arm——、
"Replace the broken parts with light, and use your abilities flexibly."
"Whew! Yes!"
The gauntlet on his left arm is attached to the broken sword to absorb the surrounding magic bullets and reconstitute the magic power of light as a blade.
A sword with the magical power of annihilation--or should I ...... say an artificial magic sword! With this, you can go unguarded!
It is lighter than a normal sword, and it slams into Koga who is approaching in front of him.
"Oh, ha, that's right!"
He was deflected and managed to avoid a direct hit, but managed to scrape through Koga's magical armor and inflict lacerations from his chest to his shoulders.
Koga tried to distance himself from me, holding the wound, but he couldn't.
Clutching the sword in both hands, I took a thrust stance and released the magic of light that I had concentrated on a single point.
「Light Point Sword No. 2Flashpoint 2!!」
"Gee!?"
The blade of the composed sword is ejected with the release of magical energy.
This is a simple enhanced version of the Light Point Sword, but with this gauntlet, you can correct the trajectory and make your opponent follow you!
"It's troublesome, it's a skill!"
Giving up on escaping and swinging his bloated arms wide, Koga smashes his arms against the approaching magic blades and unleashes his magical power, nullifying the attack.
…… It may be difficult to land a fatal wound while it is offset by an outburst of magical power.
The sword, which is now only the hilt, creates a blade of light again and glares at Koga.
They also understand that it is dangerous to take an easy step, so they will not come with the same tactics again.
"Kazuki"
"Yes."
Reply to Mistress Farga's voice.
He lets out a small sigh and speaks to me in a quiet voice.
"You're too hard-headed."
"What?"
An unexpected word makes your mind go blank for a moment.
I can't help but take my eyes off Koga.
"Fight flexibly, just controlling the magic bullet and releasing it is nothing more than an immature word."
"But how do ......?"
"Hmm...... Rely on your intuition, like your friends, Usato and Suzune. Tactics and means are ...... Well, if you leave it aside, they've got what you're missing.'
"Usato and Senpai......"
Certainly, the fight between the two of them is not the kind of fight that makes you feel suffocated like I do.
Leave it to your intuition and ...... free From time to time, he has come up with techniques on the spot to break through the situation.
"I'm going to try it without thinking too hard, thank you ....... Mr. Farga."
"You don't have to say thank you, because I was aware of it eventually. …… It's about time we broke the connection. You don't have to worry about the rest, do you?'
"yes, I'll try something about it."
"Good luck, Kazuki the Brave."
"Yes......!"
I replied, and with that was it, and I could no longer hear Mistress Falga's voice.
…… As Usato said, he was a kind-hearted person.
I regained my composure and turned my attention to Koga, who was covering the slashed area with black magic.
"Well, stop thinking too hard."
He floats a magic bullet in his palm and floats it around.
While operating about 30 magic bullets at the same time, he takes a slow, deep breath and holds the sword of light in his other hand.
"Your face has changed."
"Oh, I thought I'd go on a rampage like Usato."
Koga's shoulders shook in amusement at my words.
I couldn't see his face because of the mask, but it seemed that he was simply amused, not mocking.
"Haha, can you do it? That's what I'm saying, but it's a lot. He's one."
"I'll do it."
He draws a magic bullet to his side and flies it at Koga with the sword of light he holds in his other hand.
As it is, he follows the magic bullet and runs to Koga.
"You're coming from me!"
"If you don't, you won't get caught!"
It's the first time I've attacked Koga on my own.
Seeing me approaching, Koga creates four scythes from his back and tries to attack me while dealing with the magic bullets that attack him.
The sword of light wielded at the same time as the charge and Koga's arm using the outburst of magic clash.
"Huh!"
"Wow!"
The thorns caused by the outburst of magic cannot be easily erased even with my magical power.
...... to let go of the hilt of the sword and bring it into close combat!
"There's a way to do it!"
"I'll skewer you first!"
He wields a gauntlet with magical powers at random, and scrapes off Koga's mask and the magic thorns that protrude from his chest.
"Haha! After all, it's ugly! Its magic!"
「…… Whew!"
He said happily as he jumped backwards, and Koga's expression was like that of an innocent child.
He enjoys fighting a battle that could cost him his life in an instant if he makes a mistake.
I'm sure I can't face this guy no matter what. Convinced of this, he grits his teeth at the unspeakable emotions and pulls multiple magic bullets to himself.
"I'm not going to let you go!"
Concentrate the magic bullets floating at your feet into one and kick them away with all ...... might!
The magic bullet, which was released using the same principle as Usato's healing magic bullet, splits as soon as it approaches Koga's body, and attacks his body.
Still, the scythe on his back defended the majority, but some of them slashed at his feet.
"Whoa......!?"
When he is about to fall to the ground and his movements are slowed, he places his right hand on his left arm and concentrates on the gauntlet while converting the light around him into magical power.
You can't get away with that foot! Here's the end of it!
"Lineage Enhancement 'Collection' ......!"
From the gauntlet containing magical power, it begins to make a harsh sound.
With that, I turned my palm to Koga and released it with a roar.
"Eat it!"
The magical power of the light emitted becomes a torrent with an intense brilliance, eroding the scenery in front of you.
Wide-area attack with light magic.
I couldn't keep my eyes open even when I was so radiant.
After a brief emission of a few seconds, the light subsided, and the ground in front of me was fanned down, and even the armor that had been thrown into the ground disappeared, and everything was gone.
"I did it...... Is it?"
There is no sign of Koga there.
…… It's too powerful. You can't use this in a melee battle.
「…… Whew."
A dull pain runs through his left arm.
If you look at it, you can see that something like smoke was emitted from the gap in the gauntlet, and the gauntlet itself was also heated.
I don't feel the heat itself...... Apparently, this technique takes a certain amount of work.
Unlimited use of magic power is too convenient, .......
"For the time being, this place is over—"
"——But it's not over yet!"
"Huh!?"
When he turns around at the sound of a voice he shouldn't have heard, he sees Koga trying to slam his fist into him.
"Oh my God!"
"Whew......!"
Catching it in the gauntlet, I looked at him from a distance—and I was speechless.
After all, the tip of Koga's left arm was gone.
"If I had escaped a little later, I would have disappeared without a trace, hahaha."
"What is it...... You...... It's not decent."
"I love fighting more than anything else."
While saying this nonchalantly, he releases black magic from his lost left arm and forms it into the shape of his original left arm.
Splitting it like a tentacle and transforming it like a blade, Koga still gives him the same belligerent grin.
"You don't understand, do you? Well, there are people out there who, like me, have lived their lives knowing nothing but me."
「……」
"But with that in mind, me andFightingPlayingHe was the only one who gave it to me. I'm grateful for that. Really."
With that said, Koga transforms his magically formed left arm into a sickle.
Do I have to fight this guy again......
I try to trap the magic in my left arm, but then I notice five large shadows descending from above.
"Koga-sama!"
The one who came down to intervene between me and Koga was a soldier of the Demon King's army on a flying dragon.
The five flying dragons are growling menacingly at me, but the soldier on their backs is calling out to Koga, who looks suspicious.
"Koga-sama, please step back from here!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"This is an order from the Assistant Commander of the First Corps! I have the same order for Amira as well!"
「…… All he could do was stop the heroes and the healing wizard in their tracks. I ...... to be pathetic. I get it. I'm going to go back to the main camp for a while."
Koga jumped on the back of the flying dragon with a slight shrug of his shoulders.
When a flying dragon carrying Koga tries to rise into the sky, I turn back to myself and try to drop it with a magic bullet, but it is repelled by my left arm, which is wielded like a whip.
"Wait!"
"I'm sorry for being half-hearted, Hero of Light, if I have a chance to see you again, I'll continue to do it."
- Will you let it go as it is?
He managed to drop the flying dragon, but the soldiers on the flying dragon stood in his way.
I wanted to make sure that one of the legion commanders was eliminated right here......
It's an enemy you can't leave alone.
He becomes stronger in battle and comes out in insane behavior.
Above all, the willingness to fight is extraordinary.
He cleared out the attacking soldiers and the flying dragon, but the flying dragon had already flown high into the sky where his magic could not reach.
I could only stare at the flying dragon with Koga riding it in frustration, which was moving away from me.
______________________________________________________________
Finally, the three of you have all the strengthening.
They were divided into defensive/all-purpose Usato, speed-focused Suzune, and super-firepower Kazuki.
Leona, who has the same hero weapon, is a little different from Usato.
