　Unlike my illusion magic, it is skilled in deception and has a wide range. It can deceive not only one's vision but also one's consciousness.

　And it is cunning and will use any means at its disposal.

　The pale purple-haired female demoness looking down at me from the flying dragon in the sky looked down at me with cold eyes as I kneeled down and breathed heavily.

　She was wearing a black robe different from that of the soldiers of the demon king's army, and several purple magic bullets were floating around her.

　In order to show us an illusion, we have to make some form of contact with magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my case, I can make my palm or a weapon to be covered with magic, and make it contact with the opponent to show him an illusion. If the opponent has similar characteristics to me, I should have found out the location of the knight who is being controlled by finding out his affiliation and the place where he was fighting.

Wake up ...... up!

　A friendly knight attacks with empty eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword is covered with magical power from illusion magic, and a shallow slash is made.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hold him down!

　I can counteract the magic that is controlling the knight with my illusionary magic to bring him back to his senses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I drop the spear, remove my gaze from the knight who has come to his senses, and use my illusion magic to bring the other knights under my control back to their senses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I can only bring a limited number of people to their senses at a time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My own magic is limited, and I have to do something about that woman who is the main cause of all this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The arrow goes straight for the target, but it is soon knocked down by a flying dragon driven by a soldier of the Kingsguard.

"d*mn ......, they're so defensive ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I bet that woman is in command or close to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Otherwise, she wouldn't be so heavily guarded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we have no way to get at her directly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the very least, we need someone like Kazuki who is skilled in manipulating magic bullets with unparalleled accuracy, especially since the elves are good at hunting with bows and their archery techniques are not.

"It's the same magic of illusion. It's the same illusionary magic, though there are some differences in ability.

　Hannah draws one of the magic bullets floating around her into her palm and looks at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Your illusion magic is more powerful than mine, both in controlling and restraining. My magic, on the other hand, has a wider range, and I can show you more ....... I am using this magic to manipulate your knights at will.

"So you're making them fight each other. ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, are you angry with me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The knights who had been fighting until they came here were allies of ours.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of them had to make hard choices, forced to fight amongst themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I don't know what they are being made to see, but from the looks of anguish on the faces of the knights being manipulated, they can't be having any real illusions.

　Kazuki cannot be abandoned.

　He is a kind-hearted man, and he might just go along with Hannah's despicable demands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I guess that's enough idle talk."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hannah raises her hand and the manipulated knights take a stance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldiers of the demon tribe are waiting to shield the knights, and above our heads, a flying dragon ridden by a soldier of the Kingsguard and Hannah are vigilantly waiting for us to show an opening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......There is no point in fighting like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if we don't stop Hanna here, more and more knights will be manipulated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A far greater number of enemies than before are coming at us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just as we were caught between our fear of death and our mission, a white figure broke in front of us with tremendous force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"---What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just in time!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The figure, which had created a tremendous amount of dust, charged at the soldiers of the Demon King's army and the manipulated knights in front of us without hesitation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll deal with them with healing punches!　I'll bring you back to your senses now!　Hey!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the figure swings its fists in rapid succession, there is a ghastly sound and a green glow of light that seems to be magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Usato, there are demons in the mix!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've confirmed it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Each time a limb is unleashed, the prone person is enveloped in some sort of pattern that blocks his or her movement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is stunned by the sight of the enemy being incapacitated like a storm, and then he sees one of the soldiers about to attack from behind him, and he shouts out involuntarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, that's dangerous..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A girl's voice comes out of nowhere, and a whip-like object is extended from his back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It easily flicks off the demons who try to attack him, and then heads toward the enemies around him, accompanied by purple patterns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To be honest, in my head, I know who has come to my rescue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But how should I say it .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's not what I remember. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my memory, he had been so much crazier ......, but now I feel more terrible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The figure who had struck down the knight and the soldier of the demon king's army who tried to attack him with a dazzling movement turned around, fluttering his white clothes mixed with black.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Frana, are you and the knights ...... safe!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, thank you ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The knights who are with us are stunned by the shock, which blows away the sense of despair they have felt so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, I decided to ask them about the knights who had been defeated by Usato.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are they all right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I knocked them out with my fists filled with healing magic, so they should not be injured.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, then, you were injuring him when you hit him. ...... No, let's not think too much about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The result is that the people who were manipulated are unharmed and incapacitated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We should be rather glad that Usato came along, who can neutralize the manipulated people precisely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And what's with the outfit?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was one more point of concern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm talking about Usato's clothes, which have changed since we last saw him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The silver basket hand on his right arm and the black basket hand on his left arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His legs had also been changed to ostentatious leg-arms, and especially the white uniform he was wearing had been changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although most of the uniform was white, there were black flame-like patterns wriggling on the hem and sleeves, and the places where one could see through the gaps were stained jet-black.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, this was ...... a lot of things."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't think 'a lot of things happened' is enough. ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I witnessed the fight with Mr. Rose, his movements were inhuman to say the least, but now Usato was too frightening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no way he could get away with this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm here at Kazuki's request."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kazuki is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still confused, Usato puts his basket-covered hand on my shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then he cast a healing spell on me, and my body, which was exhausted from the cuts I had sustained in the fight earlier, instantly felt better.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wow, my tiredness is gone in an instant. ......This is how different the effect is from recovery magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Do you know who is the magician who controls the knight?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... the purple-haired female demoness in the sky is the one. And she seems to be the commander of the third legion of the demon king's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Third Army Commander, huh? ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Usato looks up at the sky, he sees Hannah still riding her flying dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is looking down at Usato, but her eyes seem to be somewhat agitated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You have a white outfit, black hair, and green magic ...... that differs from the information, but is it correct that you are a healing wizard of the Lingle Kingdom?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hannah nodded her head in agreement, perhaps taking the silence as an affirmation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Nice to meet you, I am Hannah Romiah, Commander of the Third Army of the Demon King's Army. As you said, Koga, you are not a human being at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Another Koger. ...... Oh, God. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He grunts, holding his forehead, and glares at Hannah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You manipulated the knights into attacking the healing wizard?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. We've managed to get them to fight each other, but we haven't been able to get rid of any of the healers yet ....... I'm surprised at how persistent they've been."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're a stubborn ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A creaking sound of metal comes from Usato's right hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at him fearfully, but his expression is unreadable and he just looks at Hannah above him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... are you mad at me, Usato?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can't let you do whatever you want any more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Oh, it seems that you are also very angry with me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hannah also noticed Usato's condition and gave a small smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her smile is cold, and it is obvious that she is looking down on us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's upsetting from your point of view, but from our point of view, we don't want to consume the limited number of soldiers we have, so we're just procuring them on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because, you see, it doesn't hurt or itch when these people die, does it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't help but feel an inexpressible sense of discomfort at Hannah's tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want to hurt my friends.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want to minimize the damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Surely, what they are doing is terribly rational and will minimize the casualties of our allies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But her ideas were unacceptable to me, regardless of whether they were friend or foe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It is convenient for me that you are here. Once I have you under my control, I can easily dispose of the stronghold of the healing wizards and even the heroes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You can't defeat two brave men by manipulating ...... me, can you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're friends, aren't you?　And you have a strong bond with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How did the Demon Army know about the relationship between Kazuki and his friends ......!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usato's eyes widen in surprise, as if he had not expected it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We've already interrogated the knights of the Lingle Kingdom," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Interrogation? ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I just showed him a vision of being tortured and made him throw up, but that's enough information. But it's still enough information to know the weak points of the heroes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kazuki and Suzune's weakness is ......usato?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if it's a weakness ...... or not, but he just stares up at Hannah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Frana, Usato-sama, demons and soldiers are coming from the front!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Reinforcements ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He turns his head to the front at the words of the knight behind him, and a troop of soldiers with glow wolves is coming from that direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my frustration, Hannah above me exhales in relief.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, while we've been stalling, the reinforcements have finally arrived. The rumored healing wizard is a chatty one, which has been very helpful."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hannah moved a magic bullet that floated around her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While we were bracing ourselves in front of more than twenty magic bullets, Usato created a magic bullet in his right palm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you want to avoid them, go ahead. If you want to avoid them, you are free to do so, although the knights behind you will be attacked instead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a sneer, Hannah dropped a magic bullet toward us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She tried to ready her bow as soon as she saw the magic bullet that was about to rain down on her, but Usato threw the magic bullet that he had made in his palm faster than she did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Healing Magic Bullet!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic bullet released from Usato's palm splits and bounces to cancel out the magic bullet released by Hanna.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic bullets that could not be fully canceled out still approached.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

FERUM!

　A black sword extends from the cage on Usato's left arm and he swings it carelessly to the side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A green shockwave of some sort shot out from the blade, obliterating the remaining magic projectiles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Darkness, Healing Rupture Slash ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ignoring Hannah's surprise, Usato muttered something like the name of his technique.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While he seems to resemble Suzune in this way, he also reminds her that they have similar taste.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
