Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi ~ Sokushi Mahou to Skill Copy no Choetsu Heal

The author accidentally put chapter 14 instead of chapter 13, so there is no chapter 13 in the raws… Thanks for reading~

I continue fighting the black nopperabou.
Although I minced it with my sword clad in【Flames of Purification】, it doesn"t look like it"s in pain.

Fighting from the front against an opponent that even Kureha couldn"t win against will be tough.
Guren is preparing to fire the flames of purification from behind me.
Because the black nopperabou"s power is too strong, no matter how many times I cut it with a sword clad in flames of purification, there isn"t much effect.
So, I"m making Guren hit it with flames that have all her power in it.
What I have to do, is to make a situation where Guren can definitely hit her flames.

"You monster." (Kearuga)

I unintentionally cursed.
This thing"s physical ability exceeds mine. Even if I try to cover it with technique, there isn"t much difference between us technique-wise.

What"s even more troublesome, is that this thing learns every time we exchange blows.
Using tricks I"ve already used don"t work anymore.
Furthermore, the enemy has infinite stamina.
The more time I take, the more of a disadvantage I have.
Therefore, I"ll decide the match in our next exchange.

While parrying slashes that are becoming increasingly sharper and heavier, I prepared the groundwork.
I continue refining mana inside my body.
Fighting with a sword while refining mana is a technique this thing can"t do.
I"ve already refined enough mana to fire an ordinary spell.

However, I need more.
Even if I hit this thing with an ordinary spell, it could only serve as an obstacle.
So, I"ll continue refining it, past my limit.

… This is a sage"s technique from my memories.
Normally, the amount of mana you can fire in one go is decided, and there"s a limit to the power of that available mana.
To break that limit, you need to make a flow from mana that you already fired and store it there, outside your body.
By doing that, you can use magic with more mana than you can release.

My brain started screaming from overload since I need to do this while having control over my sword against such a formidable enemy.
Because of the recoil from surpa.s.sing my limits, a blood vessel connected to my brain cut, but it was healed by【Automatic Recovery (Auto Heal)】

We both knocked our strongest sword strikes against each other, so the black nopperabou and I were sent flying at the same time.
Our postures were both thrown off balance. A countless number of tentacles grew from the black nopperabou"s body and are rus.h.i.+ng on me. They have drill-shaped tips, that are sharp enough to easily pierce my body.
It probably decided that fighting like that instead of in its human form would be better.

… I knew it was this thing"s power to regenerate limitlessly while hitting me with the most suitable solution one by one, but to think it was to this extent.
There are twenty-four tentacles and each of them are rus.h.i.+ng at me with different orbits and angles.
I can"t dodge them all, and blocking would be difficult.

However, I just barely made it.
I finished refining the necessary magic to stop this thing"s time.
Including all the mana circulating outside of my body, I fired the magic.
Right now, this thing won"t be able to dodge my magic.
Because I felt certain victory, I poured all my resources into this attack. Because of the twenty-four tentacles it sent to me, it"s unable to move.
Naive.
What I fired at it, is…

"【Permafrost】" (Kearuga)

Rank five freezing magic. It"s the highest level magic a human can use.
To surpa.s.s a human"s limit and use rank six and higher magic like Freya, you need the ability and the boost from a skill.

A blizzard of absolute zero temperature engulfs the black nopperabou.
Everything in front of me froze and stopped moving.
Freezing black knights is effective against them, and that doesn"t change for this thing, even if it"s a superior type.

"Guren, you can fire it now!" (Kearuga)

I shout.
Normally, this ice would stay frozen for a whole day, but the opponent is this thing after all. In reality, I can already see cracks starting to appear.
The inside will probably break in a few seconds.

"Okay! Guren will show you the flames of a divine beast!" (Guren)

The kitsune cub especially transforms into her kitsune-eared beautiful girl appearance, clad in golden flames.
Seeing her swing her tail on purpose to show off, irritated me a bit.

"O flames of G.o.d’s majesty. Burn this corrupted one to nothing…【Holy Flame Explosion】!" (Guren)

Enough golden flames to fill the pathway pa.s.sed by.
Those flames seem to be specialized in purification since although I was engulfed in the flames along with the black nopperabou, I didn"t feel any heat at all.

On the contrary, the black nopperabou disappeared while raising a scream.
Black smoke leaked out from its body, but even that was burned to nothing by the flames.
As the flames cease, I see the black nopperabou has completely vanished.
Just in case, I used magic to search the surroundings but there wasn"t any reaction.

"Guren is amazing! How"s that!" (Guren)
"Yeah, you"re amazing, but tell me beforehand if you"re going to shoot me too, it"s bad for my heart." (Kearuga)

The moment I was engulfed by those golden flames, I braced myself for death.

"Don"t worry, there"s no way Guren would kill goshujinsama." (Guren)
"You might actually do it though." (Kearuga)
"How rude! If goshujinsama died, Guren would definitely be killed too since she"s a travelling companion!" (Guren)
"… It"s because you make those sorts of reasons that I can"t trust you." (Kearuga)

Guren tilts her head.
Even if I explain it to this poor kitsune, she probably wouldn"t understand.

"Guren, do you still have surplus mana?" (Kearuga)
"Around half." (Guren)
"In that case, drink a mana recovery increasing potion. This was the opening performance. To defeat the boss, we need those flames you just used." (Kearuga)

There"s still the Dioral king and the existence that was given to the Dioral king.
At the very least, I want two shots worth of that much firepower.

"Don"t wanna. That doesn"t taste good." (Guren)
"I"ll let you eat a ton of delicious meat after everything is over if you drink it." (Kearuga)
"Pa.s.s me the mana recovery potion!" (Guren)

She returned to her cub form, skillfully took off the cork with her front leg and started drinking. Although that is cute, it would probably be easier to drink it in her girl form.
I look towards Setsuna and the others, to see Kureha helping everyone and making them drink potions.

"… Failure. Setsuna wasn"t useful." (Setsuna)
"Me too. I shamefully fainted immediately." (Freya)

It seems Setsuna and Freya are worrying about the fact that they lost to the black nopperabou.

"The opponent was just too powerful. I won"t tell you to not feel down about it, but you should change your mind now because I need both your powers after this." (Kearuga)
"Nn. Setsuna will do her best." (Setsuna)
"Yes, I will take back this failure." (Freya)

I"m glad they both faced forwards.
Finally, Ellen approached me.

"Kearugniisama, since the enemy has used one of their trump cards, we need to go to the enemy"s weak point. We should destroy it as soon as possible." (Ellen)
"I agree. If we"re lucky, there might not be any more enemies like that black nopperabou." (Kearuga)

That"s wishful thinking, but once the Dioral king knows the black nopperabou was defeated, he"ll definitely send reinforcements.
In that case, moving before that happens is for the best.
We formed a battle formation and advanced forwards.

In the Dioral Kingdom, there"s a white, beautiful flower called the Rainara which was decided to become the national flower.
We"re currently running towards a room full of those Rainaras.
The Rainara itself is beautiful, but the positioning of each and every one of them are overflowing with a sense of beauty.
Because this was made by that princess Flare, I can"t believe it.
We arrive at the centre of the room.

"Kearuga, this is nostalgic." (Kureha)
"You"re right. This is where I met you." (Kearuga)

I came here before to heal Kureha.
At that time, I couldn"t even imagine that there was a forbidden spell ritual device.

The floor in the centre was made into a hidden door.
You need a key to open it, but I didn"t do anything troublesome like getting the key myself.
I change the shape of my sword with alchemy magic.
I made it into a hammer with a huge spike on it, and swing it down with all my strength.
The floor broke, and I can see stairs going down.
By breaking through this, I can go to the place where the forbidden spell ritual device is set up.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about this. Freya, make a contract with this." (Kearuga)
"Ye-, yes, Kearugsama." (Freya)

I hand Freya the【G.o.d Made Treasure Arms】I stole from the hero of the【Spear】.
I"ll have Freya power up before the final, decisive battle.

"That"s a tool that only heroes can use. If you grasp it tightly and pray, it will become the weapon you want. You can pick any ability it has too. I won"t give you advice at this point in time. You should just think of an ability you need the most and make a contract with it." (Kearuga)
"… The weapon I want. In that case, I only have one answer." (Freya)

Freya prays, making the ruby turn into a staff.
That"s a staff made from the branch of a large tree which is overflowing with vitality.
It really resembles the staff she used in the first world.

"That"s a good staff." (Kearuga)
"I will definitely show that this staff I received from you, will be useful." (Freya)

I"ll be looking forward to it.
Freya is going to fight her father next.
I"ll have her use all the power she can to kill her own father.

We go down the stairs.
There weren"t any traps nor troops waiting in ambush.
We"re advancing well.
And at the end, I can see a wide room. Opening the door, I go inside.

"Welcome, hero of【Healing】Kearu." (?)

There"s a majestic middle-aged man with a white beard.
He"s wearing a luxurious robe and a crown that only one person in this country is allowed to wear.

"You were hiding in this underground place, huh, king Dioral." (Kearuga)

The person there was Proum Dioral.
The Dioral king.
By looking at him with my jade eye, I find out his abilities.

————————————————–

Back when I first looked at his status, I didn"t really understand the meaning of "human(?)", but now I do.
He had already quit being human since the first time I met him.
Black miasma is flowing into the Dioral king.
Then, his level steadily rises.
Ignoring his level limit, it goes up at an impossible pace.
Then, his level even reaches level 300.
This isn"t just any black miasma.
According to the memories of the previous demon king, it"s the true form of the power that made him go crazy.

"Hero of【Healing】Kearu. You are strong. Letting your power uselessly disappear would be disappointing. How about becoming my right-hand man? The Dioral Kingdom, no, I will gain everything in this world. You will become the right-hand man of such a person. You understand the meaning of that, right?" (Proum)
"Who knows. Rather than that, I wanted to ask whether you hate me for killing both your daughters. If I were you, I would be so hateful that I would want to tear you limb from limb." (Kearuga)
"I do not mind. Those were just convenient pieces. If I can gain more useful pieces, then I do not need them anymore." (Proum)

I stifle a smile.
He still hasn"t realized that Freya and Ellen are princess Flare and princess Norn, huh.

How idiotic.
Besides, he asked me to become his right-hand man? Do I understand the meaning of that? You"re f.u.c.king joking.
In the first place, this world is mine.
I"ll live however I want to live.
Even if I have to die for it, I don"t want to be someone"s subordinate.

"So, how about it, hero of【Healing】. Do you have an answer?" (Proum)

Of course I do.
I didn"t even have to think about it.

"My answer is… you"re an idiot!" (Kearuga)

This is the opening performance of my fight against Bullet, my last revenge target.
I"ll kill him quickly.
