I found it!

A few hours after leaving the guild, Margulis and the others, having introduced themselves to the new healer, Lyra, had arrived at the hydra they failed to kill yesterday.
The Hydra's recovery ability is incomparable to that of a human, and after a day, it can heal a certain amount of wounds.

However, the hydra in front of Malgrus and his team did not have any minor injuries, but the two heads that Raust had cut off earlier in the day had not healed at all.
Furthermore, its body still has a dark fatigue, or perhaps it is sleeping soundly.

...... This will work!

And when Malgulus saw that Hydra, a triumphant smile appeared on his mouth.
Unlike yesterday, the current Margurus was definitely in a perfect state, unlike yesterday.
In addition to being in such a state, the opponent was wounded.
There's no way we can lose in this, he thought.
That's why Margulls is going to charge in unison, trying to give a signal: ......

Okay, here we go: ......

I'm sorry, but can I just check a few things first?

...... But that interrupted Margulis' words, and Lyra opened her mouth.
For a moment, he turns his accusing gaze to Lyra, uncomfortable at being interrupted by his own words.
Lyra shrank back, uncomfortable with the gaze, but even so, Lyra didn't stop speaking mid-sentence.

'I'm sorry for opening my mouth at this time. But would you care to go along with me on one thing, to check me out?

Confirmation. For what?

'That would depend on whether or not you brought your medication with you,'

The drug ......

For a moment, Lila's words brought back a memory in Margurus' mind.
They were just the words that Raust told me when I decided to take the defeat of Hydra, that there seemed to be a special potion for Hydra's poison and that I should buy it.
However, Margulis had stopped buying the potion at that time because it was too expensive, and Margulis had no intention of buying the potion this time either.
After all, victory was at hand.
There was no need for such insurance at all.

'I would have a panacea, too: ......

'Yeah, I know! We all have the drugs, so that's the end of that story!

...... So, Margulus forcefully interrupts Lyra's words and tells her so.
For a moment, Saaberia and Armia, who don't know anything about medicine, look questioningly at Margurus' words, but they don't open their mouths to say if they thought it was okay if their leader didn't need it.

'But you might want to check it once: ......

Then, disbelieving the attitude of the Margulls, Lyra opened her mouth again, but at the very least, Margulls had no intention of listening to what Lyra had to say at all.

'The other party is asleep! Now's your chance!

Yes, sir!

Yes! I understand!

Huh!

In the next moment, Margurus acts as if he didn't hear Lyra's words and runs off with a large sword in his hand.
And because of the attitude of Margulus and the others, Lyra bites her lip, unable to say anything at the earliest.

'...... I hope it won't be a big deal.'

Furthermore, Lyra let those words slip out, and the next thing she knew, she was running after Margulls and the others: ......






◇ ◇ ◇.





Hush, hush, hush!

And so it began, a second confrontation with Hydra.

'Good! This guy is clearly weaker than before! Let's go!

At first, when it had started, Margurus had an unconcealed smile on his mouth.
After all, it was obvious that Hydra was moving even worse than when they fought yesterday.
Apparently, he had reached his physical limit considerably, and clearly Hydra's movements were lackluster.

''Hushuuuu!''

Ugh!

Serveria!

...... But that leeway was gone in a matter of minutes.

Margurus let out an involuntary yelp as Servia failed to engage her tail and was flung off.
Surberia managed to respond to the voice and got to her feet, but it was clear that the wound was not minor.

''Mr. Surberia!''

Oh, please Lila: ......

And when Lyra noticed the situation, she called Thervelia to her own side and cast a healing spell.
...... But Lyra, who uses that healing magic, was never looking good either.
After all, in the last few minutes alone, Margulls and Servelia had been injured one by one, and that had left her in a state of considerable magic use.
As a result, Lyra was no longer using 《Area Heal》, a healing magic that could heal people at a distance.

''Hey, why! Why don't you use the Area Heal anymore?

Just keep Hydra around for now!

It was completely unavoidable, but Margurus didn't try to understand it at all and cursed.
After all, when Raust was there, long-distance healing magic was always the norm.
Raust couldn't use any intermediate healing magic such as the 《Area Heal》, but instead, he had healed his injured comrades by releasing the 《Heal》 to them.

''Useless!''

That's why it was common knowledge that Margurus called Lyra useless.

...... without realizing that Raust was actually more of an anomaly.

'Hush-hush!

Yikes!

Leader!

And that attitude of Margulus created a huge gap, and Margulus was flung away by Hydra's tail.
Margulus managed to get only minor injuries thanks to the armor on his body.

''Hushuuuuu!''

"f*ck!

But Margulus didn't even have time to catch his breath.
The hydra invoked the earth element of elementary magic, the gravel, and a stone the size of a man's fist flew at Margulus.
Somehow Margulus managed to avoid a fatal wound by placing the great sword in front of his body and using it as a shield, but the stone that he couldn't avoid hit the shoulder of his armor.


''Guh!''

The next moment, a dull pain resounds from his shoulder, and Margulus lets out a muffled voice.
As far as the pain is concerned, the wound would not be large, but the pain stops Margulus from moving for a moment.
It is an obvious gap in the tense battle situation. ......

Hush-hush!

Oh, yeah,

...... When Margurus realized that, it was already too late.
The figure of Hydra looking down at himself, as if convinced of his victory, and Margulus stood dumbfounded at the sight of it.

''Hey, why?!''

And in such a situation, what came out of Margurus' mouth was a helpless complaint.

'Why are you in such a shambles! We were supposed to win, like normal people! You can't do that! How is it possible to do so many quests just to get rid of such uselessness! That guy just attacked Hydra at first and was just running around afterwards!

Margulls whines miserably and pathetically to Hydra, who stares at herself with unfeeling eyes.
In fact, he didn't even realize that it was only Raust's attack and Armia's magic that caused Hydra a great deal of hurt at first.
And those words never reached Hydra.
Hydra took one look at Margulus as if he were trash and opened his mouth to kill him.

'O spirit who protects me!

Huh?

...... But one person's actions there saved Margulus from being killed.

'Hush-hush!

In the next moment, Hydra's eyes would turn to the depths of the Margulls in front of her, as if she had forgotten about them.

'In response to my wish, a glimpse of his great power: ......

The presence that Hydra was staring at, it was Aamir chanting to activate the great magic.
In the last defeat, Aamir had used great magic sparingly, but in this case, she hadn't used any magic that had more than a check on her.
The reason for this was that Margurus and Surberia were not able to stop Hydra from starting to aim at Armia when she used her great magic alone.
That's why Aamir had stopped activating the Great Magic until now, yet now he was deliberately casting the magic in an unprotected state to help Margulus.

''Hushuuuuuuuuuuu!''

And in the next moment, Hydra moves towards Aamir, who chants great magic.

''d*mn!''

Somehow, Margulls manages to take a blow at Hydra, but that doesn't stop Hydra from moving: ......

Ah, .......

Hush, hush, hush!

......... The next moment, Hydra's poisonous fangs pierced Aamir's legs.
