chapter 29
29 – cooperation_wizard_2
I looked at Solar. You can see him rolling his head to find the most suitable magic for the current situation.
Perhaps, when the chant is fast, when the power is low, when the power is too great, etc., thinking about the cases and the consequences, and choosing the magic to use while using the elimination method.

Not to mention, considering the state of my body, which is quite fragile compared to Rain or Odrox, and preparing the next best way to prepare for the opponent’s movements and abilities, there are probably quite a lot to think about.
[You sound funny. Yes, you will need to warm up.]
It exists to the extent of warming up before getting into the main topic. Originally, I was treated like that by enemies who had the intellectual ability to speak the language, and in fact I was that kind of existence.
If you see Rain, Solar, Odrox and Lian’s insane talent and look at me, you can’t help but think that way.
However, more often than not, such a guy sticks to it tenaciously. I have nothing to lose.
[Have fun once.]
As the demon said those words, it moved behind me and swung the arm into which the blade was embedded.
And I blocked that second-speed attack.
Sparks fly with the sound of blades scraping against each other.
“hahahaha. The first bread is originally the back of the head. I know it well.”
[..Okay, try to have more fun. human.]

It was so fast that the previous small monster looked ridiculous. There is not even a preparatory action.
It is trying to trick my eyes by repeating the movement in meaningless positions.
Even more so, as if playing with it, it sometimes appears behind Solar and hits the shield.
At least with my physical abilities, I can’t follow the movement. In the middle of the mixed attack, Solar stops the chant and quickly deploys a shield.
The demon ran to Sola once again. This time, the moment I caught it and turned around, the demon moved in an instant to the opposite side and swung its bladed arm at my side.
I read it somehow, but the action itself is too fast, so I can’t respond definitely,
─Tuduk
The attack was allowed.
[It worked. I predicted the first attack, but it seems that this one didn’t.]
“You talk a lot.”
A few drops of blood dripped from his side, but this wasn’t bad. Rather, the thought that I could die makes my mind go faster.
It doesn’t hurt. It’s a little bit, but I somehow reacted and cut off the blade that was almost going to go in.
The devil’s words disappear. As if to be serious, the movement gradually accelerates.
I even took off the bandage, but it was so fast that I could only see an afterimage. Even though it wasn’t the main base, the demon realm, it was surprising that this speed.
Six sword strikes and three blows coming from all directions in just over three seconds.
As soon as I cut off the sword attack coming towards my waist with a dagger, I prepared to slash the other side of the shoulder.
I hurriedly swung diagonally to parry the sword strike again.
I managed to deflect it, but the blade rushed towards the shoulder on the other side.
Tighten your arm and block it with the small pommel of the dagger.
The hand stopped for a moment with a tingling feeling as if it were hitting the bone directly, but no one other than the devil would tolerate such a situation.
On the battlefield, even a small gap leads to death. Especially when it comes to confrontation with an opponent stronger than me.
A sharp blade cuts deep into the thigh. It was only then that the throbbing pain that had been blocking the movement of his hand was relieved.
[You got it. Deep enough to reach the artery.]
The devil who licked my blood-stained blade said so as if it was more trivial than I thought.
“hahahaha. You bastard. I told you to catch me soggy. There’s no way it’ll end like that.”
[..Bleeding is the enemy. Am I wrong?]
The devil looks a bit puzzled as if he was expecting the blood gushing out like a fountain.
[Are humans right? It definitely felt like cutting.]
“Aren’t you going to tell me?”
Dismissing his question, I approached first from my side this time. Taking advantage of the experience of being active on the front lines, quickly without making a sound of footsteps.
After crouching down and approaching, push the dagger upward as if stabbing it from below. Of course, I don’t think it will work.
Think of the best number.
As you do one action, think of the next number. Just like when chanting magic.
The demon twists its neck to dodge the attack. As soon as I recognized the action, I bent my right arm and wrapped it around the devil’s neck.
[What is this doing?]
“Would you be surprised to hear?”
The devil did not respond to my words, but raised his other arm and hit me.
The arm with the blade was blocked by the body, but that doesn’t mean the other arm wasn’t a threat.
Receive a fierce attack from a bunch of angry muscles.
However, it hasn’t hurt that much yet.
“Because I’m good at squishing again? It’s a little awkward to fight like this, but… Anyway, let’s have some goo, honey.”
While saying that, I moved my legs and tied the devil’s lower body.
Of course, it doesn’t end there. This is enough to just drag and move, so it can’t be seen as blocking the movement.
Moving his hand that hadn’t yet grabbed the demon, he reached for the potion belt on his thigh, pulled out the flask, and tossed it to the floor, breaking it.
There is the sound of glass breaking and scattering, and at the same time, vines grow from the floor and begin to entangle the demons together.
[What are you doing, do you think plants will work for me? If you just rip it off with force… ..?]
“Alchemy Catalyst ‘Giant Jack’ seed. When it touches the soil, it grows instantly and climbs a nearby target. Growth speed is accelerated if the target contacted first is a human.”
[You can’t tie me to something like that…]
“The seeds sold at the academy’s canteen contain holy power to prevent them from being damaged or defective. A major failure in alchemy can lead to death soon.”
As I recited exactly what I heard in alchemy class, the demon twitched the tip of my only movable finger as if it were annoyed and looked at me clinging to it like a gum.
[Sadly, the joy is running out. play is over I’ll take out the blade.]
“Awesome. Try it.”
As if in response to my words, I feel holes drilled all over my body. You can feel the blood draining little by little.
[yes. He held up better than I thought, human. However, a strong demon will eventually adapt to whatever method is used. With that small holy power, it can only create a short amount of time.]
After a moment of silence, the devil tore off the fully grown Giant Jack and threw me to the floor.
The devil looked at me as if I was sprawling on the floor, and then stepped on my body.
As if the entertainment was over, slowly.
I couldn’t resist any more.
It wasn’t because I didn’t have any more power.
Because the chant was completed, because Solar’s voice stopped, there was no point in holding out any longer, so I ended my role.
I glanced around and saw Solar pointing her fingertips at the devil. Its eyes were burning with rage and it was clenching its teeth fearfully that they might not grind.
Her red hair swayed like a blazing flame. The clear vision so that even the subject’s expression could be clearly read clearly showed Solar’s excited expression.
“Really, f*cking baby ..”
[What ugly words..]
“Again, I couldn’t keep it. I was late. If only I had calmed down a little more. If I had used all my strength to attack… If only I had made the best choice… Why do I always…”
[Is that your choice? You gave your body, but it seems to be my victory. It’s as easy to deal with as a mage with an unstable mind.. uh.]
The devil’s words stopped. A mass of compressed energy was released from Solar’s finger.
The devil with a huge hole in his chest blankly stares at Sola and takes a slow step forward.
But it’s already too late. Part of the compressed energy clump was attached to the pierced space and was consuming his body like a caterpillar eating leaves.
The demon, unable to even make a death sentence, lasted less than 3 seconds and disappeared without leaving even a heap of ashes. It wasn’t until the outstretched finger completely disappeared that I could see the aftermath of Sola’s magic.
It seemed like it would never break through. There was a hole in the wall of the maze of plates that I couldn’t seem to penetrate no matter what tools I used.
It’s not even just one layer. Sunlight shining inside the dark labyrinth seemed to have pierced all the walls in its path.
As soon as the enemy’s presence disappeared, the little archmage, who used such intense magic that seemed to linger in his memory, lowered his head and began muttering an apology.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”
“Why? What?”
“Again… I hurt you. I couldn’t protect you. I always thought I could do anything, but I failed at the most important thing.”
“Failure. You didn’t fail. You took good care of your body and killed the devil… Isn’t it because I’m still alive?”
“The cuts and stabs won’t go away. ..It hurts. It hurts…”
After Sola said that, she looked at me with wavering eyes. With trembling hands, she briefly scanned my face and the wounds visible through the torn clothes, then dropped to her knees on the floor and began to shed tears.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
“No. Aren’t you mentally weak? Look, I’m fine.”
First of all, with the intention of stopping Solar’s crying, I rolled up my arms and gave her strength. Solar’s expression gradually changes.
From simple sadness to sadness mixed with remorse and anger.
In a situation that seemed to have gotten worse for some reason, I turned my head slightly and looked at my arm. A petal-like scar had spread and covered her hand.
Excuses do not work for Solar, who already knows the identity and effect of the scar.
Solar continued to stare at my scar and at the corner of my eye, then lowered her head and stopped.
Even the words of apology that she spat out were gone.
I mumbled for a while, not even guessing what she was thinking.
“The result was good, right? Well done. Come on, praise.”
He stroked his soft, red hair.
Recalling the day when the distance with Solar had narrowed a little.
