　From the reactions that can be sensed by magic sensing, we are dealing with a horde of demons.

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

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

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

　...... We have to conserve our magical power.

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

　Even if you conserve it by systemic deterioration, it will be reduced.

　I talk to Lune, who is in the state of a lion cub on my shoulder, while checking.

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

"Rune, can you make my hands burst into flames?

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

I can't. I can make it not to burn, but there will be heat.

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

"Well, what about this basket hand?"

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

　I ask Rune, the lioness on my shoulder, and a flame runs from my shoulder where she is and is lit by the basket hand on my right.

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

　...... seems to be okay on top of the basket hand.

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

"If you look closely, the color of the flame is bluish black, isn't it?"

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

　I saw it in daylight so it looked pitch black, but in the dark you can see the bluish color mixed in.

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

　Lune as a lion cub is the same color.

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

"And then there's your ...... no, Keira's black fluttering dress."

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

"Yes. You can put that on, too."

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

　With that, Keira's dark-magic cloak caught fire as Rune's dark-magic flames ran along the edges of the cloak.

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

　Hannah, who was pinned behind my back, slapped my cheek from behind in panic.

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

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!　Please don't burn me, I'm here too!

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

"Oh, I'm sorry." Don't worry about ....... I made him avoid you."

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

"Don't worry about it, Rune-chan."

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

　You're emotionally unstable.

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

　I sighed to Hannah as she flirted with Roone and smacked me on the cheek, and I asked her to put out the flame once and turned around to see Aul.

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

"Mr. Aul. Let me explain the situation of the enemy.

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

Shouldn't you explain your current situation first?"

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

"Yes, as you can see, sir."

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

"Ugh, wow, my brain refuses to understand what I see as a result of what I see. ......"

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

　That's really all I can say.

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

　It's like improvised teamwork, as you can see.

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

"So, the enemy..."

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

There are a lot of them anyway."

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

　Mr. Ahl tilts his head at my words.

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

　I guess I was too abstract to convey my message well.

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

"Well, how many are there?"

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

There are many on the wall and on the ground. It's a straight road from here on, so it will be difficult to avoid them.

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

"...... Uh, demons?"

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

Perhaps.

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

　I'm not sure what it looks like.

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

　The fact that these ruins are in a lake makes it certain that they are demons related to the lake, but they are probably a herd.

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

"They've noticed us and they're getting desperate. Maybe it's a monster with an excellent sense of ...... smell."

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

"So you're not even mild-mannered. ...... What are you going to do?"

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

"We can't just turn around and go back the way we came, so we're going to have to force our way through."

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

　I wish Brulin was here, but he's at Amaco now.

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

　---Hmm?

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

"One of them is coming this way. Is that one of those ...... snake things crawling on the ground?"

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

Scouts?

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

Maybe. Let's find out what it is first.

　As they approach us at great speed, we fire a viscous healing magic bullet into the wall of the passage in front of us before we come in contact with them.

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

　The green light of the healing magic illuminates the passageway, thus securing my vision.

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

"Hey, hey, Usato-kun. Aren't the magic bullets I got from you too light in color?"

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

"The enemy is coming, please concentrate."

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

"Eh, oh, I'm sorry ...... I knew it was too thin. ......"

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

　Your intuition is really good.

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

　The system-degraded healing magic bullet itself is harmless.

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

"Let's see what's coming ......!"

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

　Only one of them comes within sensing range.

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

　The only one approaching within sensing range is a large serpent.

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

　As soon as it appeared in the passageway lit by the light of the healing spell, it leapt toward me, its sharp fangs peeking out from its wide-open mouth.

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

"Vaaaah!!!"

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

<"Kyaaaaaah!" >>

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

　The cries of the demon that appeared and the screams of Hannah and Keira.

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

　I backfist the big snake-like monster that tries to bite me without much agitation.

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

"Hmph!"

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

"Vaggy!"

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

　The snake is struck in the side, and in an instant, its eyes go white and it slams head first into the wall and faints.

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

"...... okay."

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

"Hey, why aren't you moving, Usato-kun?"

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

"Because there's no way I'd be scared of a big snake after all these years."

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

"It's annoying that you're so dependable for nothing. ......"

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

　Isn't that unreasonable?

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

　I've fought against baldinaks and evil dragons before.

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

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

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

　Rose, of course, but Senpai and Lucas-sama might do more than the Demon King.

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

"So what is this monster?"

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

　If you look at the fainted creature you'll see that it's not just a big snake.

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

　It has scales more like a dragon's than a snake's, and its color is a beautiful blue.

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

　Its size is ......3,about 4 meters.

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

　It is an average size for a demon, but the number of them waiting for us ahead is extraordinary.

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

"It's a water dragon. In the sea they are called sea serpents,...... but I've never heard of such an unusual number of them.

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

"Wow, I've never seen a sea dragon before. Even when I was in the captain's unit, I thought they were already extinct. ...... but I guess they do exist in unexplored areas.

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

"Is this guy rare?　They're in all the rivers and stuff."

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

　Hannah and Aur seem to think it's a rarity, but to Rune, it's just another demon.

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

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

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

　I thought I had read something like that in a book I was reading about demons.

He's a low-ranking member of the pack, isn't he?

You know what I mean?

"Some smart demons try to gauge their prey's strength by letting their underlings go first. In this case, we are the prey.

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

　From our point of view, we just found out who they are.

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

　With my healing senses, I must have more information than they do.

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

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

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

"First, we'll use magic to kick them off. Keira, protect his back. Rune will help with the fire. Hannah, as soon as you come in contact with them, you cover them with magic bullets. Aur will fight with me to break through the swarm of water dragons."

"......"

"Mr. Earle?"

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

　I called out to Mr. Ahl, who looked at me in surprise, and she put her hand on her head in a huff.

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

"I was just thinking that you are the vice-captain ...... of the group," she said. You really are just like me.

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

I am honored that you would say that.

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

Please don't do that. I died halfway through my life."

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

　Mr. Ahl smiles a self-mocking smile.

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

"I am a corpse left behind by the times. That's why I'm not someone you can look up to. ......"

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

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

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

"...... Oh, um, do you have any idea what I'm going through, by any chance?"

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

　After all this talk, I realized that in Mr. Ahl's case, he is not talking about being dead or anything like that.

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

　He is rational and can talk.

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

"If you are sane enough to talk like this, it's no different from being alive. I can take you before the Commander and make you talk to him.

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

"......, aren't you often said to be stubborn?"

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

　In that sense, you must be stubborn, too, if you think you can't face Rose.

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

　I'm not going to give up on this.

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

　She looks at me and smiles, then slaps her cheeks with her hands as if to get herself fired up, and looks out into the darkness.

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

"Well, let's get ourselves together and move on, shall we?

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 water dragon has not yet begun to move.

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

　When I get close enough to the water dragon and just before it attacks me, I show Hannah, who is behind me, the healing explosive that I created with my palm.

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

"Hanna-san, cast illusion magic on this!

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

"Yes, yes."

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

"I call it the Healing Illusion Bomb ......!!!"

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

"Yes, yes, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool!"

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

　For some reason, he told me to baby-sit.

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

　As if to make the first move, I try to throw a healing bomb with illusionary magic, only to find that Mr. Ahl is also trying to make a magic bullet like mine.

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

"You remember that my lineage is shock magic, don't you?"

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

"Yes, yes,...... Mr. Earle, that's not ...... true."

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

"If it's anything like shock, it means I can do the same thing you can."

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

　The purple magic collected in Mr. Ahl's hand transforms into a sphere.

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

　In the process, a laceration is carved on Mr. Ahl's hand that created the magic bullet, but the laceration is quickly closed as if time is rewound.

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

　Was it a magic spell on the ...... corpse?　No, but before that, this technique of Mr. Aul's is .......

"I can do it without any disadvantages for me, as I have no outburst of systemic reinforcement and my sense of pain is dead."

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

"Mr. Awl, ......!"

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

"No, I have mixed feelings about you looking at me like that when I'm living a normal life and you're popping off outbursts of systemic reinforcement."

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

　I feel like I've made Mr. Awl just as strong as Koger: .......

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

　No, it's a good thing that her magic is getting stronger under the circumstances, so let's not worry about it.

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

"Then let's throw them together with me."

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

"Ready, set, go!"

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

　Me and Mr. Ahl, two exploding magic bullets are thrown into the darkness.

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

　The magic bullets flew straight ahead and collided with each other near the center of the hall where the water dragons were, and exploded, scattering shockwaves and particles of healing magic---as well as magic illusions---around us.

"I didn't know magic could do this. ......"

　Keira and Rune marvel at the particles of healing and shock magic that scatter light like fireworks and brightly illuminate the dark hall space.

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

　Below is a hellish picture of a water dragon running amok, confused by illusionary magic.

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

Let's go!

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

Please try not to kill them!

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

It'll be a problem if they hate you!　I understand!

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

　I jump out after Mr. Earle.

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

　With Hannah and her twin sister firmly secured behind my back, I jump into the swarm of rampaging water dragons.

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

　The floor of the hall is knee-deep in water, and as soon as we land on the ground, the hostility of the water dragons turns on us at once.

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

"Aren't there too many!

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

I told you so!

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

There's a certain level of hostility, right?　This isn't a herd or something like that!

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

　Indeed, there were many water dragons rampaging about, crammed into this large space.

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

　This is probably the reason why I couldn't grasp the shape of the water dragons at first, but even so, it's not an obstacle that can't be broken through!

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

"I'll avoid exhaustion!　Hannah!

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

I know!

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

　Even though the consumption is being suppressed by the degradation of the system, it doesn't mean that we can use as much magic power as we want.

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

　We have to conserve our magic power to prepare for the demons and unexpected situations that await us ahead!

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

I'll work for your protection!

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

　Hannah-san on my back makes the magic bullets float around me and directs them toward the water dragon.

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

　I'm careful to keep a distance from Mr. Ahl and deal with the water dragon that's coming toward us in a melee battle.

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

"Rune!"

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

I'm going to light a fire. Use it freely!

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

　A bluish-black flame in a basket hand.

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

　I swung my arm lightly, and it expanded and contracted like a whip, striking the water dragon's body.

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

"Gan!

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

　The water dragon was hit by the whip, and its long body sprawled on the spot as if it were slumped over.

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

　It does not appear to be burned by the whip.

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

"No burns. If you don't want to be a slave to it, go for it."

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

You're saved!

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

　But we shouldn't be too sure.

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

　It's only one way to get what you want.

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

　With this in mind, I hit him with my left fist and use the whip of my right basket hand to deal with him as I move forward little by little.

"Vaah!

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

What?

　Breaths released by multiple water dragons approach us like a muddy stream.

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

　In response, I raise my right hand, which is lit by a blue flame, and with all my might, I slam my sword into the space in front of me.

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

　The extended whip of flame cracks the large amount of water spewed out in half and sends it flowing behind us.

"Nnnn!　Black Flame Healing Flying Fist!

　To prevent the next breath, he launches a healing flying fist with the flames in his cage hand!

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

　The magic power with heat hits one of the water dragons directly, sending the flames and healing magic around it as if spreading.

"You're doing it!　Now it's my turn!　Usato!"

　Mr. Ahl points his left palm, which is covered with purple magic, at me.

　Immediately sensing her intention, I turned around and slammed my fist into her left hand.

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

　Instantly, the magic power that absorbed my blow was converted into a shockwave by Mr. Ahl, blowing away multiple water dragons at once.

"With Usato-kun, it's easy to create a huge shockwave with little consumption!

"What?　Like this?

Wait, wait, wait!

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

　This is not good!

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

　Before the magic is released, I turn my palm away from the water dragon and toward the ceiling.

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

　Instantly, flames erupt from my palm like an explosion, creating a blue pillar of fire that rises to the height of the ceiling.

What the hell!

　The crowd of water dragons looked frightened by the flames, but I was even more astonished by the dangerous outburst (・・・・・) of magical power she had performed.
