It was the same as that time .
When he found out that Miss Amelia had been abducted, when his magic power had completely fallen into the negatives and his life had almost been exhausted .
『Shadow Magic』replenished Master-dono’s magic power, and even treated his injuries .
Was it initiated when Master-dono was on the verge of death, I don’t know whether it started up while Master-dono was unconscious, but even so, it could revive someone who was on the verge of death .
It was not as powerful as Miss Amelia’s『Resurrection』, but from the point of view of a powerful person like Master-dono, it was an extraordinary magic .
No, it may no longer be magic .
《The battle will now commence . Eliminate Mahiro Abe . 》
The『Shadow Magic』spoke through Master-dono’s mouth .
The voice coming out was certainly Master-dono’s, but the tone and mannerisms were different .
When I looked closely, the shadows were wrapped around Master-dono’s limbs .
The『Shadow Magic』was forcibly moving him .
「I don’t know what’s going on, but what can you do now? Humans are inferior creatures afterall . You groveling on the ground like you did just now suited you . 」
Mahiro said this and clapped his hands, forming a beautiful magic circle in the process .
Miss Amelia, who was still under Mahiro’s manipulation, approached Master-dono from behind .
「M, my body is moving on its own! Akira, run away!!」
Miss Amelia lowered the hand she held up .
『Gravitational Magic』was invoked and Master-dono was weighed down by the heavy gravity .
Under the gravity that cracked the st.u.r.dy dungeon floor, Master-dono did not fall down onto his knees and was calmly standing there .
「『Whirlwind』」
TN: the author actually used kamaitachi here . Kamaitachi is a type of j.a.panese folklore monster (yokai) that is thought to be a trio of weasels who appear in whirlwinds to cut up their victims .
Mahiro’s magic circle was completed, and a wind with countless hidden blades swept through the dungeon .
Was that wind targeting just Master-dono, it did not come towards Miss Amelia and I .
By nature,『Whirlwind』was similar to『Lightning Emperor』where it would indiscriminately attack the nearby enemies, and was an AoE magic .
He made it converge around Master-dono, and enhanced the power tremendously .
「To go this far… . 」
Mahiro was fundamentally lax .
His ahoge was always wavering as if it reflected his true self, and he always had a smile on his face .
He was quite mysterious .
When did he get there, where did he come from, no one knew .
Even so, the only one who could stop the demon king-sama was Mahiro, and he was the second-ranked among the demons after the demon king-sama .
I was going to carefully observe him, but I could not completely grasp his true strength .
I didn’t think that he could control his magic this well .
There was one other attack that I had received from the true owner of this body, Saran Misray, other than『Hammer of Light』 .
However, the requirements for that magic had not been fulfilled yet .
The wind stopped .
I couldn’t see Master-dono yet, but I knew that he was still alive .
Was I, being protected by Master-dono once again .
Would a day like today, where we fought side-by-side ever come again .
「…the magic just now, was charged with quite a bit of magic power, and it should’ve been a direct hit, but why are you still alive?」
Hearing that, I looked closely, and Master-Dono was standing there in the middle of a cloud of dust, no different than before .
Even after he had been attacked by Miss Amelia’s『Gravitational Magic』, even after he received the brunt of Mahiro’s『Whirlwind』, Master-dono did not waver .
《Return, “Yatonokami”》
When did he throw it?
The “Yatonokami” that Kurou fixed for him, was now lodged in the ground nearby .
When Master-dono called out for it, it disappeared before settling in Master-dono’s hands in the next second .
Just, what did he do?
「…that katana… . 」
TN: the kanji for katana is being used here . It can be used to talk about a sword or a dagger, but the kanji for ‘dagger’ is usually another kanji, so I just left ‘katana’ here
Perhaps sensing something as well, Mahiro looked at “Yatonokami” .
It seemed like the katana had teleported .
I had never seen someone summon their weapon like Master-dono did with “Yatonokami” before .
Even though it wasn’t a situation where one could go to retrieve it when it was thrown far away, he went out of his way to do so .
Master-dono treasured Miss Amelia and I equally, and as he didn’t want something to happen to us, he used this method of retrieving it .
In other words, the『Shadow Magic』that was now manipulating Master-dono’s body was more knowledgeable on how to use “Yatonokami” than Master-dono himself .
「…!?」
Perhaps he was pondering over something because the instant Master-dono appeared in front of him, Mahiro, who was caught slightly off guard, had several strands of hair cut off .
Master-dono’s movements had become faster than before .
Perhaps it was because the『Shadow Magic』was forcibly manipulating him, but was it alright for him to move like that even though the injuries had been healed .
「Guu! The sword’s heavy…!」
Mahiro had used a defensive magic circle to block the attack, but due to the weight that was added on from Master-dono’s speed, the attack was chipping away at the shield .
《『Shadow Magic』—- Binding Shadow . 》
The shadow that was between Master-dono and Mahiro rose to the surface and tied Mahiro down .
Perhaps he learned as he fought, he prioritized tying down Mahiro’s hands, and now he couldn’t use his magic circles .
《Dispel the magic on Amelia Rose Quartz . 》
The『Shadow Magic』 held the blade to Mahiro’s throat and said this .
Even so, Mahiro still had a smile on his face .
「It’s unfortunate, but I can still use my magic circles even if my hands are sealed . Besides, you said it just now, didn’t you? My occupation . 」
He moved his feet that could still move, not his hands that were bound by the shadows, and put them together .
And then the light that was characteristic of when Mahiro invoked his magic shone through .
