Judging from the reaction that can be sensed by magic sensing, the opponent is a group of demons.

There are quite a lot of them, and combat is inevitable.

…… I've got to conserve my magic.

Even if you save money by degrading the system, what you can reduce will decrease.

After confirmation, he talks to Rune, who is in the form of a lion cub on his shoulder.

 

"Rune, can you put flames in my hands?"

"I can't, I can try not to burn, but I have heat."

"So, what about this gauntlet?"

 

I ask Rune, the lion cub on my shoulder, and a flame runs from my shoulder where she is, and the fire is lit in the gauntlet in my right hand.

…… It seems to be okay as long as it is wearing a gauntlet.

 

"If you look closely, you can see that the color of the flames is bluish black."

 

I saw it in the daytime, so it looked pitch black, but when I looked at it in the dark, I could see that it was mixed with bluish colors.

Rune in lion cubs is the same color.

 

"The rest is yours...... No, Kira's black fluttering clothes."

"Do you mean my dark magic?"

"Oh, I can put it on that, too."

 

As she said this, the flames of Rune's dark magic ran through Kira's dark magic cloak, and the rim was on fire.

Mr./Ms., who was fixed on her back, panicked and slapped me on the cheek from behind.

 

"Wait, wait! I'm here too, so please don't burn it!!"

"Oh, I'm sorry...... But don't worry. I made you avoid me."

"Rune-chan doesn't have to worry about it."

 

Are you emotionally unstable?

I sighed at Hannah Mr./Ms. who slapped my cheek while being slapped by Rune, and I asked her to extinguish the flame once and turned back to Owl Mr./Ms..

 

"Mr./Ms., I will explain the situation of the enemy for now."

"Wouldn't it be better to explain your current situation first?"

"Huh, you can see it."

"Wow, my brain refuses to understand as a result of seeing it......"

 

That's really all I can say.

It's like improvisational teamwork, as it seems.

 

"And they're enemies."

"Yes."

"I'm here for the time being, Mr./Ms.."

 

Mr./Ms. tilts her head at my words.

It was probably too abstract to convey well.

 

"What, how long?"

"Mr./Ms. is on the wall and on the ground, and it will be difficult to avoid it because it is a straight road from here."

「…… Um, are you a demon?"

"Possibly."

 

I don't know what it looks like.

There is no doubt that this ruin is in a lake, so it is a monster related to it, but it is probably a herd.

 

"They're noticing us and they're going crazy...... It may be a monster with an excellent sense of smell."

"You mean you're not mild-mannered...... What are you going to do?"

"We can't turn back the road, so we're going to force our way through."

 

I wish I had Bulllin, but he's on Amako now.

———Hmm?

 

"There's only one here, crawling on the ground...... Is it a snake demon?"

"Are you a scout?"

"Perhaps, but let's find out who they are first."

 

They are approaching you at a great speed, so before you can get in touch with them, shoot a viscous healing magic bullet into the wall of the passage in front of you.

The passage is illuminated by the green light of healing magic to ensure visibility.

 

"Hey, hey, Usato-kun, isn't the magic bullet I got faded after all?"

"Enemies are coming, so concentrate."

"Oh, I'm sorry...... After all, it's thin......"

 

His intuition is really sharp.

The healing magic bullet itself that has degraded the system itself is harmless.

…… Wait, are you coming?

 

"What's coming......

 

Only one of them comes close within the sensing range.

The clear shape is a huge snake.

The moment it appeared in the corridor lit by the light of the healing magic——— it jumped in at me with its mouth wide open with sharp fangs peeking out.

 

"Vaaaaa!!"

"'Kyaaaaaaa!?'"

 

The cry of the monster that appeared and the screams of Mr./Ms. Hannah and Keira.

I don't get too upset and unleash my fist on a big snake-like monster that tries to bite me.

 

"Hmmm."

"Vaggy !?"

 

The snake is punched in the side, and in an instant, the snake peels off the whites of its eyes and slams its head against the wall and faints.

 

「…… Okay."

"Hey, why isn't Usato-kun fazed?"

"There's no way I'm going to be scared of a big snake anymore."

"It's infuriating to be unnecessarily dependent......

 

Isn't that unreasonable?

After all, I've fought Barginak and the Evil Dragon in the first place.

If you want to scare me, I want you to bring Rose, Senpai, or Lucas.

Rose doesn't know, because she and Lucas don't know what they're going to do more than the Demon Lord.

 

"And what is this monster?"

 

If you look at the stunned monster, you can see that it is not just a big snake.

It has scales reminiscent of a snake's body, or rather, a dragon, and its color is a beautiful blue.

How big is it...... About 3 or 4 meters.

It's an average size for a monster, but the number of things waiting for you down the road is extraordinary.

 

"It's a water dragon, a sea dragon in the sea...... It seems to be a species called sea serpent...... I've never heard of such an unusual number of herds."

"Wow, I've never seen a sea dragon before, even when I was in the captain's unit, I thought it was already extinct...... After all, you're in an unexplored area."

"Is this guy rare? I'm in a river over there."

 

Hannah Mr./Ms. and the Mr./Ms. Owl seem to be unusual, but to Rune, they seem to be monsters out there.

Could it be a demon that rarely exists in the human realm?

I had a feeling that this was what was written in the monster book I was reading.

 

"He's at the bottom of the pack."

"Do you understand?"

"Monsters that are somewhat clever try to gauge the strength of their prey by letting them go to the bottom first, and in this case, we are the prey."

 

From our point of view, we just knew the identity of the other person.

With healing sensing, I should have more information than the other person.

Let's continue to force our way through and move on.

 

"I'm going to kick you out with magic first, and Keira is going to protect your back. Rune assists with flames. Mr./Ms. Hannah supports her with magic bullets as soon as she comes into contact with the enemy. Owl Mr./Ms. will fight with me to break through the water dragon horde."

「……」

"Mr./Ms. Owl?"

 

When I called out to Mr./Ms. who looked at me in surprise, she put her hand on her head in a daze.

 

"Oh my God, Vice Captain...... I thought I was the deputy leader. Really, you're just like me."

"I'm honored to hear you say that."

"Please don't, because I died on the way."

 

Mr./Ms. gives a self-mocking smile.

 

"I'm a corpse left behind by the times, so I'm not a person you can look up to......

"But you're alive, aren't you?"

「…… Oh, don't you know what my situation is?"

 

After talking so far, I thought that in the case of Mr./Ms., it is not a story about being dead or anything like that.

He's rational and he can talk.

 

"If you're sane enough to talk like this, you're no different from being alive, and you can take me before the leader and let him talk."

「…… Don't people often say you're stubborn?"

 

In that sense, you must be a stubborn person who stubbornly thinks that you don't have a face to match Rose.

I will never give up on this.

She smiled wryly when she saw me, and then she patted her cheeks with both hands as if to cheer herself up, and looked beyond the darkness.

 

"Okay, let's pick ourselves up and move on."

"Yes!"

 

The water dragon has not yet made a move.

When I got close enough and was on the verge of being attacked, I showed the healing explosive bullet I made with my palm to Mr./Ms. Hannah on my back.

 

"Mr./Ms. Hannah, give this illusion magic."

"Yes Yes"

"Name it a healing phantom explosive bullet ......!!"

"Yes yes, cool cool"

 

For some reason, I was told to comfort my child.

First of all, when I try to throw a healing explosive bullet that contains phantom magic just first, I realize that Owl Mr./Ms. is trying to make a magic bullet like me.

 

"You remember that my lineage is shock magic, right?"

"Oh, yes...... Awl: Mr./Ms. that's ......."

"If it's like shocking, I can do the same thing as you."

 

The purple magic gathered in Mr./Ms.'s hands transforms into a sphere.

At that time, a laceration is engraved on the hand of Mr./Ms. Owl, who created the magic bullet, but the wound is closed as if time is rewound immediately.

…… Is it witchcraft on a corpse? No, before that, this move of the Owl Mr./Ms. was .......

 

"I can do it without any disadvantages for me, who is dead in terms of system enhancement and pain."

"Owl Mr./Ms.......!"

"No, I have mixed feelings about you looking at me like that when you're living a normal life and you're doing a lineage enhancement outburst."

 

I ...... the feeling that I made the Owl Mr./Ms. stronger just like Koga.

No, let's not worry about it, because it's good that her magic is stronger in the current situation.

 

"Then let's throw it at me."

"Yes."

"Se-no!!"

 

Me and Mr./Ms. Owl are thrown into the darkness with two exploding magic bullets.

The magic bullet that flew straight into the area hit and burst near the center of the hall where the water dragon swarm was, scattering shockwaves, healing magic——— and phantom magic particles around it.

 

『『『『『Vaaaaa!!』』』』』

 

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

"Can you do this with magic......?"

 

Kira and Rune let out an exclamation of admiration at the sight of the particles of healing and shock magic that scattered light like fireworks and lit up the dark hall space.

Below is a picture of hell with a water dragon rampaging around confused by phantom magic.

 

"I'm going!!"

"Please don't kill as much as possible!!"

"It's troublesome when you get resented! Got it!!"

 

Following Mr./Ms. Owl, I also jump out.

Holding Hannah Mr./Ms. and her twin sister Mr./Ms. firmly on her back, she jumps into a group of rampaging water dragons.

The floor of the hall was knee-deep in water, and as soon as it landed with a thud, the hostility of the water dragon was directed at us all at once.

 

"Isn't there a lot!?"

"I told you so!"

"There's such a thing as a degree, isn't there?! This isn't a herd or anything like that!?"

 

Certainly, Mr./Ms.'s water dragon is rampaging around as if it were crammed into this large space.

This is probably the reason why I couldn't grasp the shape of the water dragon in the first place, but it's not an obstacle that I can't break through!

 

"We're going to avoid wear and tear! Mr./Ms. Hannah!!"

"Wow, I know!!"

 

Even though the consumption is suppressed by the deterioration of the system, it is not possible to use as much magic power as you want.

Save your magic power in case of the demons that await you in the future and unexpected situations!

 

"I'll work as long as I'm protected!!"

 

Mr./Ms. on her back stagnates the magic bullet so that it floats around her, and directs it towards the water dragon.

I am careful not to keep my distance from Mr./Ms. and deal with the water dragon coming towards me in a flesh fight.

 

"Rune!"

"Light a fire, use it freely."

 

A bluish-black flame dwells in the gauntlet.

It stretched and retracted like a whip as I lightly swung my arm, striking the water dragon's body.

 

"Gann!?"

 

The water dragon that received the whip wriggles its long body on the spot.

Apparently, he was not burned.

 

"You won't get burned, and if you don't want to hurt yourself, go for it."

"It's helpful!!"

 

But you shouldn't be overconfident.

Let's think of it as a means and use it.

With that in mind, he punches with his left fist and deals with it with his right gauntlet's whip as he moves forward little by little.

 

"Vaaa

"What!?"

 

Something was blown away, so when I flew over the spot, the water released at high speed hit the ground.

Can a water dragon spit out water like a beam......

 

""'Vaaa!!'"

"Mr./Ms. Usato! Water dragon Mr./Ms. spit out water!!"

"Then!!"

 

The breath released by multiple water dragons approaches us like a turbid stream.

In response, I raised my right hand, which was lit with blue flames, and slammed my sword into the space in front of me with momentum.

The outstretched flame whip smashes the large amount of water spewed out in half and flows behind it.

 

"Nhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Black Flame Healing Flying Fist!!"

 

In order to prevent the next breath, he launches the flame wrapped in the gauntlet with a healing flying fist!

The magic power accompanied by heat hit one of the water dragons directly, sending flames and healing magic magic to fly around as if it were spreading.

 

"I'll do it! Then it's my turn! Usato-kun!"

 

Owl Mr./Ms. points his left palm at me with purple magic.

This is......!

 

"Please do it with all your might!"

「…… I see!!"

 

I immediately sensed her intentions and turned around and slammed my fist into her left hand.

In an instant, the magic that absorbed my blow was converted into a shockwave by Owl Mr./Ms., blowing away multiple water dragons at once.

 

"With Usato-kun, it's easy to produce a big shockwave with a small amount of consumption!!"

 

If you're on your side, you're really reliable!

As I was thinking about this as I slammed my sword into the neck of the attacking water dragon, Rune spoke to me this time.

 

"Usato, turn your hands on the enemy!"

"What!? Is this it?!?"

 

I did as Rune said, and the black flame magic condensed into the gauntlet in my right hand.

 

"Wait, wait, wait!!"

 

This is bad!

Before the magic is released, I turn my palm from the water dragon towards the ceiling.

In an instant, flames erupted from my palm as if exploding, creating a blue column of fire that rose to the height of the ceiling.

 

"Bee!? Guy!?"

"This is it!"

 

The water dragons were frightened by the flames, but more than that, I was afraid of the danger she had done.Magical outbursts・・・・・I was astonished.

No matter how much heat it is, even a monster with such a powerful technique will not be able to do it for free!

 

"Rune!? What did you just do?!"

"Eh, it's the same thing as you."

 

This child is different from me and Mr./Ms..

No matter how much dark magic you have, you don't know what will happen if you do such a dangerous thing.

Rune tilts her head at me impatiently.

 

"It's the same way you use magic."

"It's dangerous, so don't imitate it!!"

"It's not an imitation, it's already working. I just don't use it because it's dangerous to burn the forest."

 

Did you remember the outburst of system reinforcement from the beginning......?

Sure, I was used to the haze earlier, but .......

 

"Who taught you!?"

"My mother told me that anyone with magic like me would learn it."

 

Does this mean that the people here have already developed a technology that takes advantage of the characteristics of dark magic?

...... technology developed in a closed civilization!

It's an increasingly strange place!

 

"Vaaa

"Whew!!"

 

While being frightened, he punches back the water dragon that attacked him.

Even if you continue to move forward steadily, it will take time! In addition, the feet are soaked and it is difficult to move!

 

"Rune, can you burst the flames in the same way through your cloak?"

"Oh, I can...... I think."

"Okay!! Mr./Ms. Owl!!"

"Yes, what is it!?

 

He calls out to Mr./Ms. Owl, who is blowing away the water dragon with the sheath of the sword that has been made to shine.

 

"I'm going to forcibly break through as it is! Hold on to this dark magic cloak!!"

"I have a feeling that it will be endlessly disgusting! Eh, can I refuse!?"

"Thank you for your willingness to accept!!"

"You look just like the captain in that kind of forceful !?."

 

There is no point if you ignore its ability to detect danger!

He forcibly pulls Hannah to Mr./Ms.'s back with a cloak and secures him with a belt.

 

"Welcome to hell.

"Your companion Mr./Ms. eyes are hollow!? I have the same dead eyes as my sister Mr./Ms.!? That!? Are there three dead people, including me!??"

 

I thought it would be tough to fly away while hesitating from the pursuit of the water dragon, but when you add the acceleration of Rune's flames, it's a different story!

 

"Mr./Ms. Usato!!"

"Huh!?"

 

The tail of a water dragon sticks out like a spear from behind me as I transform my cloak.

I shifted my body to the side and dodged, grabbed the tail and pulled it as hard as I could.

 

"Whew!"

"Vaaa!?"

 

- Swing it around as much as you can while grabbing the tail!

After blowing away the water dragons around me like a giant swing, and finally throwing the water dragons that I was holding in the direction where the water dragons were gathering——— I floated about a meter off the ground to prepare for the flight with my cloak.

 

"Mr./Ms. Hannah! At the same time as the signal, scatter the magic around you!!"

"Yes...... What are the hallucinations?"

"It's okay to be delirious! First of all, ———Healing Diffusion Bullet!!"

 

He tosses a healing diffusion bullet forward, and after a few seconds, the magic power spreads, and he grasps the structure of the vast ruins with his magic sense.

It's a hindrance if you can see poorly!

Pulling the hood of my cloak deep and hiding my eyes, I signaled to Rune and Mr./Ms..

 

"Now!!"

"I'm going to do it!"

"This too!"

 

The moment Hannah Mr./Ms.s gathered the magic power that she gathered spread around her——— the flame magic that ran through her cloak exploded, and with an explosion, our bodies accelerated forward.

In the aftermath of the acceleration, the water dragons are blown away.

 

"Oooh!?"

 

The acceleration caused by the outburst of Rune's magical power is extraordinary, and the acceleration force is more than the magic shockwave of the healing acceleration fist, and it goes straight through the ruins.

The structure in the dark is grasped by healing sensing!

All I have to do is trust my reflexes and senses and charge all the way to the deepest part at once!

 

"Wow!? Usato-kun, there is a stone pillar in front of you, in front of you, !?"

"It's okay!"

 

I've already figured it out by healing detection!

Rune takes care of the acceleration, so I can concentrate on flying.

That means you can free your hands to change direction!

 

"Healing Accelerated Fist!!"

"I'm already moving perverted!?

 

I was firmly aware of the existence of the stone pillar with my healing sense, and I released a healing acceleration fist from the gauntlet in my right arm, and without slowing down, I pushed forward while avoiding the stone pillar.

 

"———!"

 

The reaction of the big monster!? It's about the size of the Barginak I encountered in ...... forest!

Is it Nushi of these water dragons?

Unfortunately, we're heading behind Nusi...... I have no choice but to rush through here!

 

"Keira, Rune! Go without stopping!! Trust me!!"

"Yes!"

"Oh!"

"We!? Why don't you get our approval!?"

"Hey, are you going to do something again!? Usato-kun!? Usato-kun!?"

 

Hearing their replies, I immediately approached Nushi's eyes.

Large physique.

It has a long body reminiscent of a barginak and sharp fangs.

However, if you take it easy here, you will be caught up by the water dragon behind you!

So I'm going to push through it all at once!

 

"Get in the way!! Healing Explosive Flying Fist!!"

 

A lightning-fast explosive bullet launched with a healing flying fist.

He improvised a technique to cope with this speed, and in an instant, the sole hit the face of what was supposed to be the water dragon Nushi——— causing its huge body to stagger.

 

"Gugaaaaaaa?!"

"Kyaaa What kind of scream!? I felt something tremendously big, but!?"

"Gyaaa Die!? I'm dead, but I'm dying!?"

「…… Huh!? ……!!?」

 

Nusi's screams and the screams of the Owl Mr./Ms. and Hannah's Mr./Ms. heard from the back.

Feeling the presence of my twin sister Mr./Ms. firmly in addition, I jumped into the narrow staircase that would lead to the lower floor at the far end of this hall.

 

"Mr./Ms.! Reverse thrust please!!"

"Gya, Gyakufunsha......!? I'm going to use magic for the time being!!"

 

Together with me, he releases a shockwave forward and lands on the ground while slowing down.

…… The water dragon seems to have pulled away completely.

With a sigh of relief, he lowers the three of them on his back.

 

"Well, Captain, you've raised a ridiculous successor...... haven't you?"

"I didn't feel alive......"

「…… Tsu! …… Whew!!"

 

Mr./Ms. is extremely tired, and Hannah Mr./Ms. is shaking like a little deer while hugging her dark magic sister Mr./Ms..

…… If you look closely, it looks like your sister Mr./Ms. is also shaking, but is it because of your mind?

 

"It was fun, I want to do it again."

"It was good teamwork!

 

It's often said that children are stronger at times like this, but it seems to be true.

Rune was bouncing happily in her lion cub state, and Kira was happily flapping her cloak to express herself.
