Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~

The war between Lyngle Kingdom and the Maou army continued .

Enemies and allies were scattered throughout the battlefield while the Rescue Squad was able to prevent a lot of casualties .

Inside of all that, I was earnestly trying my best to treat the wounded . I wiped the sweat off from my forehead as I started to feel the pressure and stress of being in a battlefield like this .

You arent completely recovered . Try not to push yourself too much out there .

After I had finished treating the injured soldier, I went on the find the next person .

My surroundings contained the smell of death that belonged to either enemies or allies . While trying my best to not vomit, I frantically swallowed and advanced forward .

. I understand, dammit . !

There were obviously going to be causalities and death in a war like this!

It was war after all, theres no way I could save every life out here! Even I could die at any moment on a battlefield like this!

While being tormented at the thought of death, my stubbornness allowed me to continue moving forward .

There was no way I could take it easy on myself when Inukami-senpai and Kazuki were doing their best out here .

Ugu!

Just then, a sharp pain ran through my head .

In my mind I could clearly see the scene of Inukami-senpai and Kazuki being killed .

No matter how much healing magic I used, the pain didnt go away .

It hurts

I wont fall in battlefield like this!

Especially at a time like this!

While I stopped moving and raised my voice, a soldier with horns swung their axe at me .

I immediately rolled on the floor to avoid it but the axe was able to make contact with my right arm .

Kuh . . !

This wound wasnt much but my headache wouldnt stop .

Just what was going on!? Dont tell me danger was approaching Inukami-senpai and Kazuki!?

If that was really the case, I had to head towards them no matter what .

Uu

The enemy ignored my state of confusion and started running towards me . Because of my headache, I didnt pay careful attention to my surroundings and tripped over a corpse .

Die!!

The demon was shouting something as they swung their axe downwards at me .

If I died instantly, my healing magic would be meaningless . If that happened, I wouldnt be able to help Kazuki and Senpai .

I braced myself for my own death as I covered my head with my arms .

Usato-dono!

Guah!

At the moment I was resolving myself, the soldier that I treated just before kicked the demon attacking me and pierced them with their sword .

Usato-dono! Are you alright!?

Eh, the soldier from before T-thank you very much .

T-that was dangerous .

I let out a sigh of relief as I thanked the soldier . Just then, I remembered I still had this headache .

T-thats right! Inuka . . I mean, do you know where the two heroes are right now!?

Hero-sama? I recall they should be at the center of the frontlines

Thank you very much!

B-be careful!

Yes!

It wasnt far from here .

While thanking the soldier again, I started to run . I felt like the headache from before was some kind of bad omen, I had to hurry .

Please be safe, Senpai, Kazuki!

*

Arent you going to come and attack?

Senpai!

Calm down Kazuki-kun, its not a good idea to attack without being fully prepared .

The attack on Kazukis shoulder didnt damage his armor, it only damaged the inside .

The Captain and the other three who had been attacked also only had wounds on the inside .

When he transformed his armor to attack and failed, he also uttered that it was unfortunate . The meaning might seem apparent but there was no way such an obvious surprise attack would connect . It meant that they didnt intend for the attack to connect, they were aiming for something else .

If I were to consider all the possibilities

. Any damage inflicted on that armor can be returned .

Looks like Ive been exposed . Well, I did give you guys a hint after all

. .

The Black Knight still had this much confidence despite us finding out what their power was .

But that was understandable . Even if we do know what their power was, we didnt know how to overcome it .

I suspect that it could return blunt attacks as well and slashing attacks were simply out of the question .

If we assume they could return every attack, we had to defeat them without fighting directly in combat .

Dont run away, okay? Leaving the others aside, the two of you are strong for being humans . Keep on coming at me, keep attacking, keep attacking, keep attacking, until you finally give up and die by my hands .

. . We have no choice but to do it . At any rate, the others wont be able to match this guy .

But if Senpai is right, our attacks wont work since they can return any attack

Dont be hasty . Listen to me, Kazuki-kun . Theres something I want to try but it might be a bit dangerous .

I said so in a small voice so the other side couldnt hear .

For their [Inversion] to activate, they had to meet some sort of requirements . That means there will be chances to attack them .

After telling my plan to Kazuki, I informed the soldiers behind us .

Do you think itll work?

Senpai, thats just way too dangerous

If anything happens, Usato-kun can heal us .

While saying so, I drew my slender sword in advance .

This plan relied on Kazuki-kun while I would just be acting as the support .

Lets go, Kazuki-kun!

I was the first to rush at the Black Knight while Kazuki followed shortly after .

Heeh, youre coming huh .

Theres no way we can retreat!!

The Black Knight transformed his armor into something like a tentacle and thrusted it towards us . We had to be careful when attacking or we might get countered .

While ducking to dodge the oncoming attack, I generated an orb of lightning and aimed near their feet .

With this!

A small whirlwind of dust had formed, this should obstruct their vision .

Then just like according to the plan, Kazuki and I will take advantage of this to launch a surprise attack . This was to test if they could return attacks that werent within their vision .

!!

I had suppressed my voice since my shoulder had been cut . Before long, something warm flowed out from my shoulder and stained my clothes .

It seems like we had failed as I could see blood trickling down from Kazukis cheek .

KuhaHahahahaahahaha!

Kazuki-kun!

Yes!

I grinded my teeth in anger as the laughing Black Knight seemed to be enjoying this situation .

It felt like a hopeless situation as we couldnt run or attack them .

If we had Usato-kun here to heal us, we would be able to keep on attacking . My feet had stopped moving as I wasnt used to being in pain like Usato-kun .

Haha, I guess Im still just an ordinary person who lived in modern times .

I came from a world of peace, I had never been injured to this extent . Thats why it hurts Really, my shoulder was in so much pain that I felt like crying .

Nn? Shoulder?

When I had attacked the Black Knight, I slashed at their back and not their shoulder .

If that was the case, I shouldve been feeling pain from my back instead .

There were two attacks but Kazuki and I started attacking at almost the same time . Kazukis attack was reflected back, however, mine wasnt .

Dont tell me . Kazuki-kun! Lets try it again!

. . I understand!

While my feet were surging with lightning, I crouched down .

We probably only had one chance . Im counting on you, Kazuki-kun .

*

Senpai seemed to have a plan .

I had no idea how to fight a cheating enemy like this but Ill trust Senpais judgment and do what she says .

I concentrated on amassing my light magic so that I could fire it any given moment .

Hey comrades, are you getting groggy?

Be quiet!!

I defended with my sword against the oncoming attack from the Black Knight .

Withstanding attacks like these werent a problem . But we had no way to deal with their counter . Senpai was attempting to do something right now; I should just do what I can right now .

Here you go!

Guh

I received the black mass coming towards me with my sword . The impact was similar to a hammer .

My arm and shoulder made creaking noises as I held my ground . The pain was draining me of my composure . If I take it easy for even a moment, I would be crushed . I couldnt defend forever like this .

I couldnt attack directly I had to find a different way to win this!

After deflecting and avoiding the attack, I sheathed my sword . While the opponent tilted their head because of my action, I gathered light into both of my hands . I then clapped my hands together .

If I could blind you . . !!

!?

A strong flash of light enveloped the surroundings, it was an unusual skill but it should be effective against this kind of opponent .

Even if direct attacks dont work, the enemy was supposed to be weak to light .

Just as I had thought, the Black Knight was trying to cover their eyes with their arms .

In order to increase our distance from each other, I kicked the Black Knight in the abdomen as hard as I could .

Gwah . This doesnt work either huh .

While feeling the pain from my own stomach, I didnt break my line of sight away from the Black Knight .

The pain was returned to me but it appeared that the force I had used to kick the Black Knight wasnt . The Black Knight stood up and after showing an astonished expression, they laughed .

To think you would try to blind me like that, that was really unexpected!! There havent been any users to use such an idiotic-like skill like that before!

I-idiotic

At the moment I was about to reply, I saw an astonishing scene .

There was something silver embedded in the Black Knights chest .

Senpai had used her lightning to accelerate herself and moved behind the enemy . Right now, her sword was piercing the Black Knight .

Nn?

You cant return this attack? Is this the correct answer?

When I saw Senpais sword piercing the Black Knight, I felt like I was about to faint but then I noticed something strange was happening . Senpai seemed to be fine .

. . Ugh .

Did it work!?

I took my eyes off of Senpai for only one moment and that was when she had moved .

I didnt know exactly what she had in mind but she noticed something when the two of us attacked the Black Knight for the first time . She then had me distracting the opponent until she found an opening to go in .

Kazuki-kun! Attack now! It should be effective right now!

A black fluid was flowing out from where the Black Knight was being pierced . Understanding Senpais intentions, I drew my sword and shouted .

Uoooooooo!!

But as expected of Senpai!!

I couldnt help but praise her . While thinking so, I ran towards the Black Knight .

Dammit, to think I would fall in a place like this!

If we could defeat them here, we would gain a huge advantage in this war and the other sides moral would drop . We would turn the current situation around in an instant This will lead us one step closer to ending this battle!

Raising the sword from my hip to an overhead position, I slashed downwards .

Just kidding .

Just as I heard those words, a sword was mercilessly thrusted into my stomach .

Unsure of what had happened, I turned to look at the Black Knight The sword that was piercing him had snapped in two and Senpai was on the ground vomiting blood .

And using my hand, I pulled out the sword from my back

Gah Wh . . y .

To begin with, you were mistaken if you thought that your attacks were actually hurting me . This armor is made from my magic . The inside wont be affected at all as long as I have this, its the ultimate armor .

Whats with that

Wasnt this guy a complete monster?

There was no way anyone could win against someone like this . I collapsed onto the ground as I was vomiting blood . Whats more was that blood was gushing out from my stomach and I started to feel weaker .

It was no good .

I didnt have any strength left .

. . Sorry, Usato .

It looks like I wont be able to return .

*

Hmm .

Seeing that the two heroes had fallen, I looked at my surroundings .

Since the heroes were defeated, the morale of the Kingdoms soldiers had been reduced . On the other hand, the demons were full of vigor .

Such a ridiculously boring scene .

Starting a war like this, just what is the Maou thinking? If they wanted more territory, there were better ways to do it Well its not something I needed to worry about .

I didnt find anything of worth in this war .

It was always like this .

Ever since I was born, not a single person could injure me . Whether it be demons, humans, my parents They couldnt injure me and I grew distant from them .

Guess I should finish up .

Removing the sword from myself, I went towards the female hero that was still breathing .

She glared at me while holding her stomach in pain . Without showing much reaction towards it, I held the sword in an underhand grip and aimed at the heros heart .

It was fun Only a little though .

The sword descended towards her heart .

Aah, it was already over . The moment I was feeling disappointed

As if Id let you do that, aaaaaahh!!

Wh?

A childish and young voice that didnt suit this battlefield resounded in my eardrums .

I unconsciously turned around to face the idiotic voice and at that moment There was an impact of some sort on my face and I felt a sensation that I never should have experienced .

It huuuuurts!?
